Introduction
A Nicoise salad is such a tasty combination of ingredients and makes the perfect packed lunch – cheap, quick and easy to make, transports well and is very nutritious. Tinned tuna is a good source of bioavailable protein, omega-3 fats and selenium. Look for sustainably fished tinned tuna – I like the Fish 4 Ever brand. Cooked and cooled white potatoes are a good source of resistant starch, which will feed healthy gut bacteria.
Serves 2
Ingredients:
•2 eggs
•4 small new potatoes, or 2 white potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
•100g asparagus
•10 cherry tomatoes, halved
•1 little gem lettuce
•1 tin of tuna in spring water, brine or olive oil (avoid sunflower oil)
•Optional: Handful of pitted kalamata olives
•Optional: tinned anchovies
•Fresh parsley & cress to garnish
For the dressing:
•1/2 teaspoon sea salt
•1/2 clove garlic
•1/2 teaspoon English mustard powder
•1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
•3 tablespoons good quality extra virgin olive oil
Method:
1.Place the potatoes into a pan of boiling water and set a timer for 3 minutes.
2.After 3 minutes add the eggs to the pan (make sure the water covers the eggs completely) and set a timer for a further 3 minutes.
3.After the 3 minutes, add the asparagus and cook everything for a further 5 minutes.
4.Drain the potatoes, beans/asparagus and eggs and leave to cool.
5.Drain the tin of tuna.
To make the dressing:
1.In a pestle and mortar crush the sea salt with the garlic until it forms a paste. Add the mustard powder and work into the paste. Then add some freshly ground black pepper, the vinegar and the olive oil and mix until well combined. Mix in a little chopped fresh parsley.
2.Once the potatoes and asparagus are cool – assemble the salad. Peel the eggs and cut in half. Place the lettuce, tomatoes, asparagus, tuna, eggs and potatoes into 2 bowls. Add the olives and anchovies.
3.If serving immediately, drizzle over the dressing and serve, garnishing with fresh parsley and cress. If taking for a packed lunch, keep the dressing in a separate container and dress the salad just before eating.
Turmeric
Turmeric is one of the most popular superfoods on the planet with millions of people worldwide using Turmeric for its medicinal and natural healing properties. Its component curcumin is being widely studied in modern medicine today with studies indicating very promising and concluding results relating to supporting a healthy inflammatory response.
The rhizome (root) of the turmeric plant is one of the most popularized superfoods on the planet, with a huge number of people using it to supplement their daily nutrition. The turmeric root has been a staple of the Ayurvedic tradition for centuries for respiratory system health, wakefullness, joint health, and a variety of other applications. Turmeric’s primary active component, curcumin, is the subject of a raft of studies in science today. Some research indicates very promising results.
Ginger
Ginger is another superfood root extremely popular. Some of ginger’s benefits include support for digestive health, antioxidant effects, and also weight control properties. Much like turmeric, ginger also helps to provide a healthy response to inflammation.
Another superfood rhizome that is constantly in the natural health spotlight, ginger is used by people all over the world – not only for its delicious taste, but equally for its long list of health benefits. Ginger is well known to promote digestive comfort. Much like turmeric, ginger also helps support joint health, which can be a real boon for those looking for joint-related supplements.
BioPerine
BioPerine® is the only product sourced out of piperine to obtain a patented status for its ability to increase the bioavailability of nutritional compounds, including Curcuma longa (turmeric) and ginger.
BioPerine® is a patented extract of peppercorn and its close cousin, long pepper. The chemical name of BioPerine® is piperine. Piperine is responsible for the distinct pepper taste that many of us love at the dinner table, but more importantly piperine can dramatically increase the absorption of some nutrients into the body. Most relevant here is piperine’s effect on curcumin (turmeric) absorption. When piperine and curcumin are eaten together, there can be a 20-fold increase in bioavailability compared with curcumin alone! Who would have thought that pepper could make turmeric so much more potent?
Incredibly pleased with these Black garlic results.. I’m not one for extra kitchen gadgets, clutter and single purpose appliance are 👎 in my books so I held off on a garlic fermenter for many years, trying to produce the same results in a rice cooker to the instapot and everything in between but never quite reaching the results I was looking for (precise humidity and temperature play a critical role). I found a large box under the Christmas Tree this year, so have been playing with my new toy 😁 These are deeply caramelized, like a wine flavoured, balsamic fig, sweet, soft and smoky and impossible to describe in words. This took five days, I opened it halfway through the recommended 9 days as my garlic was a bit on the drier side and I didn’t want to lose more moisture. They were perfection 😍 There seems to be some controversy as to whether the chemical reaction that occurs is actually fermentation or whether it’s just the Maillard reaction changing the sugars in the garlic as it ages, it is clear that the process enhances the bioavailability of the nutritious compounds in the garlic, doubling cancer fighting antioxidants among other things, as well as increasing the antibiotic, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective and neuroprotective effects when compared to fresh raw garlic. The incredible umami flavour, deep, almost caramelized is hard to compare to anything else. #blackgarlic #maillardreaction #blackgarlicfermenter #nourishing #allium #garlic #kitchenalchemy
There are a few new Bread List subscribers so I wanted to share the process of my sourdough to answer some of your questions (Namely, “Why can I eat this bread without any problems? I haven’t been able to eat bread in years! What’s different?”)😍 To start, our digestive systems are not meant to process gluten that has not been fermented. Sprouting activates the enzymes in the grain, bringing it to life and making the nutrients available for us to absorb. I begin with locally sourced, BC grown organic/non modified grain (regionally grown grains like Einkorn, Emmer, Spelt, Rye, Khorasan, etc). I soak them, and sprout them, activating the enzymes and making the nutrients bioavailable, a process that takes several days to just under a week depending on the grain. The sprouted grains are then gently dried at a low temperature to avoid damaging the enzymes. Once dry, the sprouted grain is milled into (100% extraction) fresh flour, so you are getting all three components of the complete grain, nothing is removed/added. Every loaf is made by hand, using sprouted flour that has been milled the same day, and then each loaf is long fermented (48h and up to a week for my celiac/gluten sensitive members), making it a loaf that is incredibly easy on the digestive system, has a low gluten content (lower than commercially available “gluten free certified” products- specific studies indicate), is low on the Glycemic Index, and most importantly, the nourishing vitamins/minerals are bioavailable for absorption. This is a quick overview, you can find more detailed earlier posts here on each specific component of the process and the importance of it, or feel free to ask! It takes time, and patience. It also brings me tremendous joy to share bread with you all ❤️ Thank you for all your kind words, and sweet photos #sourdough #fermentation #sourdoughbread #wholefoods #nourishingtraditions #realbread #slowfood #feedingmyfamily #nourishingfoods #nutrition #naturallyleavened #eatrealfood #fermentedfoods #sproutedbread #sproutedflour #gluten #guthealth #digestion #enzymes #brot #flourwatersalt #lactobacillus #bacterialcultures #ferment #sprouting #glycemicindex #bioavailability
Let's exploring the Benefits and Considerations of Protein Shakes for Health
Protein shakes have gained widespread popularity as a convenient way to enhance protein intake, especially among individuals focused on muscle growth, weight management, and post-workout recovery. However, the topic of protein shake benefits has sparked debates and divergent opinions. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the pros and cons of protein shakes, offering an informed perspective on their suitability as a dietary supplement.
Balanced Viewpoint:
This article aims to offer an impartial examination of the subject, empowering readers to make well-informed choices. Key considerations encompass protein sources, recommended daily protein requirements, and the potential merits and drawbacks associated with incorporating protein shakes into one's dietary regimen.
Significance of Protein:
Protein, a vital macronutrient, plays a pivotal role in body recovery and maintenance. It serves as a foundational element for enzymes, hormones, and structural proteins, each fulfilling distinct physiological roles. Structural proteins within muscles, bones, and skin can suffer damage during physical activities, necessitating repair to prevent muscle weakness and injuries. Furthermore, protein bolsters the immune system, aiding in the defense against infections and illnesses. This underscores the importance of protein consumption, particularly during recovery phases, for overall health and immunity.
Variety of Amino Acids:
It is essential to recognize the diversity among protein types. Proteins consist of amino acids, each with distinct functions within the body. Among the 20 amino acids, nine are essential and must be sourced from one's diet due to the body's inability to synthesize them. Protein sources exhibit varying amino acid profiles, impacting their nutritional value. While animal-based proteins offer complete amino acid profiles, plant-based sources may lack some essentials. To ensure comprehensive amino acid intake, a diverse range of protein sources is advisable.
Protein Absorption:
Protein bioavailability, signifying the portion of ingested protein that the body absorbs and uses, varies depending on protein sources. Animal-derived proteins like beef, fish, and whey enjoy high bioavailability due to their complete amino acid content. Conversely, plant-based proteins like soy have lower bioavailability. Factors such as protein type, accompanying nutrients, and cooking methods influence absorption rates.
Recommended Intake:
Daily protein needs fluctuate based on factors like age, gender, activity levels, and muscle mass. Individuals engaged in intense physical activities, such as athletes and fitness enthusiasts, might require higher protein intake to facilitate muscle development. Generally, a daily protein consumption ranging from 0.6 to 1 gram per pound of body weight is advised. For active individuals, aiming for approximately 1 gram per pound serves as an appropriate target.
Benefits of Protein Supplements:
While animal-derived proteins offer optimal benefits due to their superior bioavailability and complete amino acid profiles, protein supplements present a viable option. These supplements, including powders, bars, and shakes, concentrate protein extracted from sources like milk, eggs, or soy. They provide a practical means to augment protein intake, especially for those pursuing muscle gain, weight loss, or post-exercise recovery. Nevertheless, whole food sources like poultry, fish, and legumes remain valuable alternatives.
Quality and Considerations:
Incorporating quality whey protein supplements can safely enhance protein intake without adverse effects. However, selecting reputable brands and examining ingredient lists is crucial. Notably, whey protein, a common supplement ingredient, has not demonstrated significant adverse effects when consumed within recommended limits. While protein shakes offer benefits, they should not replace the nutritional value of whole foods.
In Conclusion:
To conclude, protein shakes offer a convenient and effective approach to supplementing protein intake. It's important to understand that protein supplements share similarities with protein from whole foods, though regulations and quality standards may vary. Opting for trusted brands and adhering to recommended dosages is essential. Ultimately, protein shakes can be a valuable addition to a balanced diet, but they should complement, rather than substitute for, a comprehensive nutritional plan.

The long awaited harvest season has finally arrived, and with it some beautiful regionally grown heritage wheat varieties that we have eagerly been awaiting the last few months. These golden, buttery Khorasan grains have been slowly sprouting over the last few days and are gently drying to be milled into fresh flour tomorrow morning. All my grains are sprouted first, to wake up the sleeping enzymes, reduce phytic acid and make the nourishment they carry within bioavailable for easy absorption by our digestive systems. The incredible chemical changes that occur during the long fermentation process allow our bodies to digest this type of living flour very differently than conventional flour (using enzymes like those used for digesting vegetables as opposed to starches) and lowering the gluten levels significantly in the end result, all of which makes sprouted sourdough that has been long fermented not only full of minerals and other nutrients that we can easily absorb, but allows us to nourish our microbiome and enables the ease of digesting sprouted sourdough bread that has been properly prepared.

Tinctures are super easy to make and highly effective. Choose your preferred strain, gather the right equipment, and you'll have a useful tincture ready in around a day!
Marijuana trimmings, or bud trimmings, are left over after a grower harvests a crop and manicures the buds. This method also works for shake and other material that is not as dense as marijuana bud. For instructions on decarboxylating bud, see this.
When preparing marijuana to be eaten, made into a tincture, or some other method of ingestion other than smoking or vaporizing, it must first be decarboxylated. This is done so the active components Of all the many different ways to consume cannabis, a tincture is definitely one of the easiest to make and administer. Tinctures are also flexible in that they can be made either strong or subtle according to the user’s preference. Tinctures are also very discreet and can be taken throughout the day and on-the-go by simply applying drops directly under the tongue or to beverages such as tea, coffee, and juices.
Users can choose to take tinctures either orally or sublingually. Oral administration will produce longer effects, yet will take a while to set in. The sublingual route has higher bioavailability, but the effect won’t last as long. Some cannabis users also prefer tinctures due to their full-spectrum nature.

Wild Meadow Flour ❤️My current obsession is creating custom wildflower blends of freshly sprouted and milled local grains and botanicals. 😍 Using whatever is growing in the meadows and fields in the wild along with locally grown heritage grains that are sprouted creates the most heavenly scented wildflower blends. Today’s sourdough bread is a delicate blend of sprouted Khorasan and Einkorn grains freshly milled with wild roses, stinging nettle and Linden blossoms from the giant old Linden tree in our garden, as well as toasted Buckwheat groats. The scent as it comes out of the flour mill is divine.. warm, nutty, soft and floral, reminiscent of hiking in an Alpine meadow surrounded by wildflowers. I am working on an upcoming announcement of making botanical flour blends available for sourdough bakers.. still thoughts in progress 🌾🌼🌸🌲 Swipe over to see a video of the fresh botanical flour coming out of the mill #botanicals #sourdough #sprouting #flour #sproutedflour #bioavailable #wildroses #nourishing #terroir #earth #sourdoughbread #nutrition #nourishingtraditions #stingingnettle #urticadioica #lindenflowers #gratitude #meadow #eatyourmedicine #foraging #wildfood #wildharvest #plantmedicine #wildforaged #khorasan #heirloomgrains #sproutedgrains #sourdoughclub

Turmeric Ginger Lemonade to Relieve Joint Pain, Reduce Blood Pressure, Boost Heart Health and Immune System
Turmeric and ginger are both highly beneficial and versatile foods that have potent anti-inflammatory properties.
Inflammation plays an important role in the immune system, but chronic inflammation can lead to numerous diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, cancer, and depression. Therefore, turmeric and ginger can be of great help in their treatment and prevention.
The main compound of turmeric is curcumin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, and treats joint inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic digestive problems, abdominal pain, improves liver health, and relieves gas.
However, it is poorly absorbed in the body, so you should use black pepper to boost its bioavailability by 2000%. It has an impressive nutritional profile, and according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Nutrient Database, a tablespoon (tbsp) of turmeric powder provides:
29 calories
0.91 grams (g) of protein
0.31 g of fat
6.31 g of carbohydrates
2.1 g of fiber
0.3 g of sugar
Moreover, that same 1-tbsp serving provides:
26 percent of daily manganese needs
16 percent of daily iron
5 percent of daily potassium
3 percent of daily vitamin C
On the other hand, ginger belongs to the same family as turmeric, Zingiberaceae family, and is rich in powerful anti-inflammatories known as gingerols. Ginger relieves pain, treats inflammation, and is helpful in the treatment of arthritis pain, rheumatism, osteoarthritis, nausea, stomach cramping, and heart issues. Ginger is a rich source of multiple vitamins and minerals, and a serving of 100 grams (g) of fresh ginger root contains:
79 calories
17.86 g of carbohydrate
3.6 g of dietary fiber
3.57 g of protein
0 g of sugar
14 mg of sodium
1.15 g of iron
7.7 mg of vitamin C
33 mg of potassium
Ginger is also high in magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin B6, folate, niacin, riboflavin, and zinc.
The combination of these two potent ingredients in the form of tea is an incredibly beneficial natural remedy that improves health in numerous ways:

Tomatoes – what makes them so special? Firstly, a tomato is a plant compound known as lycopene, which is part of carotenoid family. It is a prevailing antioxidant, which helps prevent damage to cells.
The lycopene in tomatoes is more bioavailable if you eat it with a bit of fat – cook it in a bit of olive or coconut oil and serve it with a dressing, rather than just raw. So adding tomato soup, passata, purees, sauces and tomato juice to your meals are all good ideas to add this item to your meals.
Health benefits of tomatoes
Lycopene offers the following health benefits:
Cancer: predominantly distinguished for a decrease in the risk of prostate cancer in men, and conceivably breast, lung and other cancers too
Cardiovascular disease: increased lycopene levels are connected to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
How you can add more tomatoes to your diet:
Red & green eggs: Sauté some sliced tomatoes in a small amount of olive oil or coconut oil, then you add eggs to scramble in the pan.
Avocado on toast: add some chopped tomatoes your avocado toast.
Tomato soup: you have a few options here, and can even freeze it and get it ready for work in the morning. Just make sure to make or buy a tomato soup that does not have a lot of sugar,
Slow roasted tomatoes: this is a good way to group cook a bunch of tomatoes. You can freeze or store the tomatoes in oil for later use and is a great addition to any salad.

Strengthening your Mind and Body as you Age
Those aches and pains you start to feel when you hit your 40s aren’t just sore muscles from the gym or activity that you’re used to. Taking care of your joints and your body in general as you age becomes a little different than how you took care of your body in your 20s.
The best way to take care of your mind and body throughout your lifetime at the root is nutrition and exercise, but along the way our body needs some extra support to thrive and continue to strengthen. This is where taking regular supplements, in addition to your daily healthy routines, can help repair or prevent conditions and decline.
What are Supplements?
Supplements are a type of dietary addition (typically in a capsule or liquid form) that is made to help support various ailments to help strengthen areas of the body. Many are considered a natural medicine with ingredients that are either found in your body naturally or in your food. Most supplements are needed to be taken daily in order to achieve the desired effects/results and consistently maintain your ideal body’s homeostasis.
What are Supplements used for?
While there are various reasons why someone may take or be recommended a certain supplement for a condition or symptom they’re having, commonly the important ones for those over 40 are supplements that support joint, cognitive, and immune health & function. These supplements target repairing tissues and restoring cartilage for optimal joint function, stimulating the memory and focus components of the brain, and helping the body build up a healthy immune system to fight off illnesses.
What are Some of the Top Supplements for these Goals?
Glucosamine Chondroitin – these two ingredients are considered the building blocks of cartilage for healthy joint function and development. Overtime as the body ages, the cartilage in our bodies can degrade to the point where we are left with no “cushion” in our joints which can cause bone on bone rubbing.
Taking a supplement like this can help prevent and repair that cartilage loss, in turn helping promote healthy joint function and avoiding associated pain symptoms or conditions – such as the need for a knee replacement.
2. B Complex Vitamins – B vitamins are essential for the production and functioning of neurotransmitters. As we age, many adults are at a higher risk for a B12 deficiency as a result of use of various medications, decreased source food intake and various GI conditions. Specific B vitamins may help to reduce the onset of various memory loss and cognitive associated diseases that come with age. There is even an injectable form of B12 for those who are deficient.
3. Liposomal Glutathione – Glutathione is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants produced by the body. It works to help protect cells against oxidative stress from dietary and environmental radicals. It can help protect vulnerable DNA from damage while also serving as a key factor in proper detoxification which is why it is an important supplement to strengthen the immune system as we age.
The supplement comes in a Liposomal form – meaning that it is a liquid that can bypass the GI tract and is absorbed via your salivary pathways to provide the highest amount of bioavailability allowing your body to truly benefit from it.
These are just of the few many supplements that are available both by medical providers or at various health stores and sites. While different supplements may be helpful for specific individuals coping with different conditions and deficiencies, most people can benefit from general supplements like the three above.
Lab tests can also be helpful in determining any deficiencies you may be experiencing, but it is important to remember that as we age our bones, joints, brains and bodies cannot always keep up to the daily level we are used to. Providing our bodies with a little support along the way can help prevent future issues as well as support your overall health.
If you are interested in learning more about supplement options and what may be right for you, consider scheduling an appointment with a medical professional to go over your history and any conditions or pains you may be experiencing.

The long awaited harvest season has finally arrived, and with it some beautiful regionally grown heritage wheat varieties that we have eagerly been awaiting the last few months. These golden, buttery Khorasan grains have been slowly sprouting over the last few days and are gently drying to be milled into fresh flour tomorrow morning. All my grains are sprouted first, to wake up the sleeping enzymes, reduce phytic acid and make the nourishment they carry within bioavailable for easy absorption by our digestive systems. The incredible chemical changes that occur during the long fermentation process allow our bodies to digest this type of living flour very differently than conventional flour (using enzymes like those used for digesting vegetables as opposed to starches) and lowering the gluten levels significantly in the end result, all of which makes sprouted sourdough that has been long fermented not only full of minerals and other nutrients that we can easily absorb, but allows us to nourish our microbiome and enables the ease of digesting sprouted sourdough bread that has been properly prepared.
