]]> Tiger nuts—have you heard of them? While the name implies they’re a nut, it’s actually quite deceiving—they’re actually an ancient root vegetable primarily grown in Africa and Spain. They’re great for those with nut allergies as they taste like a nut, but aren’t actually one. There’s a ton of things you can do with the superfood and here are a few ways to eat them.

Raw

The beauty of tiger nuts is you can eat them right out of the bag! They come peeled or unpeeled and they make the perfect snack.

Bake with Tiger Nut Flour

While tiger nuts aren’t technically a nut, like almond flour, you can bake with it. Tiger nut flour has a subtler taste, which makes it great for baking. In addition, it’s packed with nutrients.

Top Granola, Cereal, or Trail Mix

Like other nuts, tiger nuts are a delicious addition to granola, cereal, and trail mix. They add some texture and taste to whatever you add them to.

Soak or Cook Them

Raw tiger nuts tend to be a bit hard, so if you prefer a softer nut, you can soak, boil, or roast them.

]]> Nuts are an important part of a balanced diet, especially if you’re vegan. But what’s the main reason for this? Well, first of all, they’re full of plant-based protein, and secondly they also contain other crucial nutrients such as omega-3 and other healthy fatty acids. Here are some simple techniques for eating more nuts on a daily basis.

Trail Mix

A great way to enjoy a range of nuts is to create your own trail mix. You can make this out of your own selection of your favorite nuts. Mix them together with raisins, dried apricots, and seeds. You can eat this how and when you want.

Sprinkle onto Curries

If you aren’t much of a fan of nuts but you know you want to eat more of them, try sprinkling them onto tasty curries. It’s best if you crush them up first. They add a nice texture to the curry, but their flavors blend into the rest of the dish as well.

In Salads

If you’re having a refreshing salad, pop a few hazelnuts or pecans into the mix. We guarantee that you won’t be disappointed!

Sprinkle onto Pasta

You can also crush nuts up and sprinkle them onto pasta dishes. They’re best in creamy dishes, but you can also use them in tomato-based sauces.

]]> We often hear that we should introduce more nuts into our diet. It is said that some nuts are an excellent source of plant-based protein, especially for those of us who don’t eat meat or other animal products. But how healthy are they actually, and which are the healthiest?

Peanuts

Peanuts are one of the most densely nutrient-rich nuts you can find. They are particularly high in protein and are an excellent way to introduce more protein into your diet.

Almonds

Although still high in protein, almonds do not have quite as much as peanuts. But they are still full of a crucial range of other vitamins and minerals, and they’re particularly high in fiber, calcium, and vitamins.

Cashews

Cashews are a delicious addition to many meals and side dishes, which makes them easy to slip into your diet without too much difficulty. They’re not quite so high in nutrients across the board as peanuts or almonds, but they still have decent levels of phosphorous and potassium.

Pistachios

Pistachios are particularly rich in potassium, and a go-to food if you need to top up on that mineral. They’re also full of healthy fatty acids and antioxidants that fight inflammation and improve the immune system.

]]> Nuts are a great option for snacking if you are looking to add a heart-healthy choice to your routine. Instead of filling your snack bags with choices that can do real damage to your heart like potato chips and other fried objects, these natural beauties are a great alternative.

Are you looking to take care of your heart while snacking? Here are three great nuts to add to your snack routine.

Pistachios

Pistachios are one of the healthiest nuts out there, and the benefits that they provide for your heart are a main reason why. Their high content of Omega-3 fatty acids along with their lack of trans fats makes them a great choice.

Walnuts

Walnuts are extremely high in fat content, with 65% of their mass amounting to this element. However, don’t let that scare you! Nearly all of those fats are unsaturated, meaning that they are great for your heart.

Almonds

Almonds are another great source of heart-healthy fats, with less than 10% of their fat content being made up of saturated fats. These nuts are especially tasted when roasted with a bit of salt.

]]> Some people cannot imagine their lives without nuts, while others are fearful to eat them because of their high-fat content. Although this is true, the unsaturated fat within nuts is really beneficial to your body because they help lower bad cholesterol. This among other reasons is why nuts are so important to have in your diet, so try to incorporate these and others every day!

Macadamia

Macadamia nuts are a great snack to have if you don’t feel like you can make it to your next meal. They are high in vitamin B-6 and are very low in carbohydrates. You can blitz them up in a food processor and sprinkle over grilled fruit for a healthy, sweet, and a filling snack or dessert.

Walnuts

Walnuts are wonderful because they are really high in vitamin E which helps keep your skin young, firm, and healthy. They also contain melatonin, which is a hormone that makes us feel sleepy. If you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, try eating some walnuts before bedtime.

Pistachios

Pistachios are one of the lowest calorie nuts, while still being high in vitamin B-6 and potassium. Eat these if you are calorie counting but want something nutritious and filling.

Attention everyone, Nuts Class 101 is now in session! 🧐🥜 —————————— Unless you have a nut allergy, it is very likely that you enjoy munching on nuts every now and then. Some people regularly include them in their diet as a healthy snack option. All is good and these nuts have lots of goodness to give to your bodies (no denying that) but please remember, these little nuts can very quickly add to your daily calorie limit and some can be more bad for your health than good if not eaten in moderate consumption.😳 – The general rule of thumb most nut snackers follow is a “handuful” of nuts. If you swipe through, I took a handful of certain nuts and faux nuts and put them on the scale to measure how many calories you be eating in just a handful. 🤓 – My two cents on nuts?! Do eat them but be mindful of how much you are eating in one sitting. It is always a good idea to track the amount of nuts you eat along side your daily meals on apps like @myfitnesspal to be aware of how many calories, fat, protein and carbs you be consuming when you’re snacking on certain kinds of nuts. 👍 – Below is what I found for your general reference on handful of certain kinds of nuts. 🤚 – ✔ Almonds (25g) – 145 kcal | Fat: 12.5g | Pro: 5.5g | Carb: 5.4g ✔ Cashews – (22g) – 122 kcal | Fat: 9.6g | Pro: 4g | Carb: 6.6g ✔ Peanuts – (20g) – 113 kcal | Fat: 9.8g | Pro: 5.2g | Carb: 3.2g ✔ Pistachios – (15g) – 85 kcal | Fat: 7g | Pro: 3g | Carb: 4.5g ✔ Sunflower Seeds – (10g) – 6 kcal | Fat: 0.5g | Pro: 0.2g | Carb: 0.2g ✔ Covered Peanuts – (25g) – 123 kcal | Fat: 7.1g | Pro: 4.4g | Carb: 12.3g ✔ Fried Corn – (15g) – 70 kcal | Fat: 2.1 | Pro: 1.1g | Carb: 11.3g – So now, tell me two things. Do you regularly munch on nuts? Do you keep track of how many calories you are eating every time you take a handful of them thinking they are a perfect healthy snack? 🤟 . . . . . . #healthysnacksonthego #snacksmart #nutsnacks #caloriesurplus #nutritionfacts #healthysnackideas #nuttyprofessor #browngirlfitness #nutrition101 #eatsensibly #dubaifitness #dubaifitfam #dubaifitnessblogger #dubaifitnesstrainer #dubaifitnessmovement #fitnessindubai #uaefitness #dxbfit #dxblife #uaefitness

The study involved 5,432 people from rural and urban parts of Isfahan, Arak, and Najafabad. They were monitored for 12 years and interviewed every other year about their cardiovascular health.

The results showed that the participants who consumed two 30-gram portions of raw, unsalted nuts every week had a 17% lower chance of dying from a heart attack or stroke, regardless of other factors.

“Nuts are a good source of unsaturated fat and contain little saturated fat,” Dr. Mohammadifard said, as reported by Science Daily. “They also have protein, minerals, vitamins, fibre, phytosterols, and polyphenols which benefit heart health.”

]]> A lot of people have been soaking some seemingly strange ingredients lately, and if you’re confused by it all, you’re not alone. When you soak a dry-good for any amount of time, things start to happen. One could be that the ingredients get washed and its safer to eat, another could be that it simply softens them making it easier to digest and to cook. For all of these reasons and more, if you’re cooking or eating these ingredients, soak them first!

Brown Rice

Brown rice notoriously takes a long time to cook, anywhere from 45-55 minutes. Because of this, you should definitely take any measure to shorten the cooking time. Luckily, soaking will help you do this! Even soaking for as little as 20-30 minutes will speed up the cooking process, so why wouldn’t you?

Brown rice has phytic acid!! What is phytic acid? ⛔Phytic acid binds with the minerals and reduces their absorption ⛔ ⁉How to get rid of phytic acid? 👉Soaking brown rice..learn the trick!! It’s worth it!! ✅ soak your brown rice at room temperature ideally for 24 hours (if not at least 8-12 hours) ❌ Do Not change the water ✅ after 24 hours strain the water. Save half of the soaking water in a glass jar & store in the fridge ✅ for the next time you want to cook brown rice, use the stored soaking water & add more fresh water to cover the rice ✅ after 24 hours repeat the same procedure (Strain, Save, Store) ✅ each time you want to cook brown rice use the soaking water from the previous batch ‼the science behind it‼ Brown rice is high in Phytic Acid and is low in Phytase (the enzyme which breaks down phytic acid). So when we do this trick we would be actually providing more phytase (through the stored soaking water) to break down more phytic acid..eventually if we follow this we can get rid of 96% of the phytic acid in brown rice which ensures we are getting the real benefits of brown rice! It’s not complicated, it’s simple! STRAIN📍SAVE📍STORE #iinhealthcoach #holistichealth #soakingbrownrice #lebanonhealthcoach #kuwaithealthcoach #knowingiseverything Source: Whole Health Source

Nuts

Soaking nuts is really helpful for so many reasons. First of all, if you’re buying them in bulk, it helps get rid of any excess dirt on them. Second, if you’re going to be blending them to make any other ingredient, they will incorporate a lot better after being soaked. And third, you are breaking down the phytic acid which makes nuts harder to digest in your gut!

View this post on Instagram

Why is it good to soak nuts? It turns out that nuts contain natural chemicals, which help signal to the nut the right conditions to sprout. These natural chemicals are called phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors. They are good for the nuts, but we humans are not able to absorb them and that’s why eating nuts regularly can put a strain on our digestion, making us feel bloated or heavy. Enzyme inhibitors can also bind to some of the minerals in nuts, such as manganese, iron, calcium etc., so our bodies can’t absorb them fully. Nuts are known to be a very healthy food but when we eat them raw, we can’t benefit from them to their full potential – but we can if we soak them. What’s more, some raw nuts like almonds and walnuts can taste quite bitter naturally. Soaking them reduces this bitter taste and makes the flavour milder and creamier. So, soaking nuts makes them not only more nutritious but also more delicious!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you tried soaking nuts at home? #nuts #activatednuts #soakingnuts #nutmad #nutmadnuts #guthealth #digestivehealth #healthysnacks #vegansnacks #healthyliving #healthylifestyle #proteinsnack #almonds #snack #snacks #instafood #foodie #delicious #nutritious #nutritiousfood #realfood #madaboutnuts #greattasteawards

Nut and seed butters are packed full of great vitamins and minerals including protein, fiber, calcium, and more. The only problem is that buying them in the store doesn’t necessarily mean they’re completely healthy, so follow these tips and you can make your own at home in a snap!

Get Unsalted

https://www.instagram.com/p/BtKPJZbAcW0/

Whatever kind of butter you are going to make, start off by buying an unsalted version of the ingredient. You can add your own salt into the butter later on, but if you buy the salted version, it may turn out to be too salty.

Oil

https://www.instagram.com/p/Btz_sfVnhu8/

When you put the nuts or seeds in the food processor, it might just be crumbs at first. But don’t resort to oil! If you keep the motor running for a minute or so longer, you will find that smooth nut butter is just around the corner, no oil needed.

Skins

Hey’all from super hot Dallas ☀☀☀. This is the first day after the three day #plantparadoxcleanse, it’s almost 11am and my habit of fasting until lunch is still in place, even though I was dreaming of having the allowed phase 2 food I’m still not hungry in the morning. Roasted hazelnuts with pink Himalayan salt were my go to snack during the cleanse, especially in day 2 when I really felt like something satisfying. They smell and taste amazing and are super easy to make. Just put them in the oven at 350F for about 10 minutes and then wrap them in a towel for few minutes. The skins come off easily when they are cooling. I usually don’t have them with salt, but I think my body was screaming for salt, as I was having a lot of it. I’m really excited to make me some eggs for breakfast, and even more excited to cook the main meal of today, something I hope it will come out as good as I imagine. Hint: It will be a PP conversion of a Peruvian comfort food 😋. Wish me luck 💙 #plantparadox #theplantparadox #thenewhealthy #lectinfree #lectinfreediet #plantparadoxdiet #healthyfoodshare #intermittentfasting #foodismedicine #homecooking #roastedhazelnuts #hazelnuts #healthyfoodie #dallasfoodie #texasfoodie #antiinflammatorydiet #guthealth

If you’re using hazelnuts, almonds, or other nuts with skins, an easy way to get them off is to roast them for just 5 minutes or so, let them cool a bit, and then shake them in your hands to release the skins.

The beauty of tiger nuts is you can eat them right out of the bag! They come peeled or unpeeled and they make the perfect snack.

Bake with Tiger Nut Flour

While tiger nuts aren’t technically a nut, like almond flour, you can bake with it. Tiger nut flour has a subtler taste, which makes it great for baking. In addition, it’s packed with nutrients.

Top Granola, Cereal, or Trail Mix

Like other nuts, tiger nuts are a delicious addition to granola, cereal, and trail mix. They add some texture and taste to whatever you add them to.

Soak or Cook Them

Raw tiger nuts tend to be a bit hard, so if you prefer a softer nut, you can soak, boil, or roast them.

A great way to enjoy a range of nuts is to create your own trail mix. You can make this out of your own selection of your favorite nuts. Mix them together with raisins, dried apricots, and seeds. You can eat this how and when you want.

Sprinkle onto Curries

If you aren’t much of a fan of nuts but you know you want to eat more of them, try sprinkling them onto tasty curries. It’s best if you crush them up first. They add a nice texture to the curry, but their flavors blend into the rest of the dish as well.

In Salads

If you’re having a refreshing salad, pop a few hazelnuts or pecans into the mix. We guarantee that you won’t be disappointed!

Sprinkle onto Pasta

You can also crush nuts up and sprinkle them onto pasta dishes. They’re best in creamy dishes, but you can also use them in tomato-based sauces.

]]> We often hear that we should introduce more nuts into our diet. It is said that some nuts are an excellent source of plant-based protein, especially for those of us who don’t eat meat or other animal products. But how healthy are they actually, and which are the healthiest?

Peanuts

Peanuts are one of the most densely nutrient-rich nuts you can find. They are particularly high in protein and are an excellent way to introduce more protein into your diet.

Almonds

Although still high in protein, almonds do not have quite as much as peanuts. But they are still full of a crucial range of other vitamins and minerals, and they’re particularly high in fiber, calcium, and vitamins.

Cashews

Cashews are a delicious addition to many meals and side dishes, which makes them easy to slip into your diet without too much difficulty. They’re not quite so high in nutrients across the board as peanuts or almonds, but they still have decent levels of phosphorous and potassium.

Pistachios

Pistachios are particularly rich in potassium, and a go-to food if you need to top up on that mineral. They’re also full of healthy fatty acids and antioxidants that fight inflammation and improve the immune system.

]]> Nuts are a great option for snacking if you are looking to add a heart-healthy choice to your routine. Instead of filling your snack bags with choices that can do real damage to your heart like potato chips and other fried objects, these natural beauties are a great alternative.

Are you looking to take care of your heart while snacking? Here are three great nuts to add to your snack routine.

Pistachios

Pistachios are one of the healthiest nuts out there, and the benefits that they provide for your heart are a main reason why. Their high content of Omega-3 fatty acids along with their lack of trans fats makes them a great choice.

Walnuts

Walnuts are extremely high in fat content, with 65% of their mass amounting to this element. However, don’t let that scare you! Nearly all of those fats are unsaturated, meaning that they are great for your heart.

Almonds

Almonds are another great source of heart-healthy fats, with less than 10% of their fat content being made up of saturated fats. These nuts are especially tasted when roasted with a bit of salt.

]]> Some people cannot imagine their lives without nuts, while others are fearful to eat them because of their high-fat content. Although this is true, the unsaturated fat within nuts is really beneficial to your body because they help lower bad cholesterol. This among other reasons is why nuts are so important to have in your diet, so try to incorporate these and others every day!

Macadamia

Macadamia nuts are a great snack to have if you don’t feel like you can make it to your next meal. They are high in vitamin B-6 and are very low in carbohydrates. You can blitz them up in a food processor and sprinkle over grilled fruit for a healthy, sweet, and a filling snack or dessert.

Walnuts

Walnuts are wonderful because they are really high in vitamin E which helps keep your skin young, firm, and healthy. They also contain melatonin, which is a hormone that makes us feel sleepy. If you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, try eating some walnuts before bedtime.

Pistachios

Pistachios are one of the lowest calorie nuts, while still being high in vitamin B-6 and potassium. Eat these if you are calorie counting but want something nutritious and filling.

Attention everyone, Nuts Class 101 is now in session! 🧐🥜 —————————— Unless you have a nut allergy, it is very likely that you enjoy munching on nuts every now and then. Some people regularly include them in their diet as a healthy snack option. All is good and these nuts have lots of goodness to give to your bodies (no denying that) but please remember, these little nuts can very quickly add to your daily calorie limit and some can be more bad for your health than good if not eaten in moderate consumption.😳 – The general rule of thumb most nut snackers follow is a “handuful” of nuts. If you swipe through, I took a handful of certain nuts and faux nuts and put them on the scale to measure how many calories you be eating in just a handful. 🤓 – My two cents on nuts?! Do eat them but be mindful of how much you are eating in one sitting. It is always a good idea to track the amount of nuts you eat along side your daily meals on apps like @myfitnesspal to be aware of how many calories, fat, protein and carbs you be consuming when you’re snacking on certain kinds of nuts. 👍 – Below is what I found for your general reference on handful of certain kinds of nuts. 🤚 – ✔ Almonds (25g) – 145 kcal | Fat: 12.5g | Pro: 5.5g | Carb: 5.4g ✔ Cashews – (22g) – 122 kcal | Fat: 9.6g | Pro: 4g | Carb: 6.6g ✔ Peanuts – (20g) – 113 kcal | Fat: 9.8g | Pro: 5.2g | Carb: 3.2g ✔ Pistachios – (15g) – 85 kcal | Fat: 7g | Pro: 3g | Carb: 4.5g ✔ Sunflower Seeds – (10g) – 6 kcal | Fat: 0.5g | Pro: 0.2g | Carb: 0.2g ✔ Covered Peanuts – (25g) – 123 kcal | Fat: 7.1g | Pro: 4.4g | Carb: 12.3g ✔ Fried Corn – (15g) – 70 kcal | Fat: 2.1 | Pro: 1.1g | Carb: 11.3g – So now, tell me two things. Do you regularly munch on nuts? Do you keep track of how many calories you are eating every time you take a handful of them thinking they are a perfect healthy snack? 🤟 . . . . . . #healthysnacksonthego #snacksmart #nutsnacks #caloriesurplus #nutritionfacts #healthysnackideas #nuttyprofessor #browngirlfitness #nutrition101 #eatsensibly #dubaifitness #dubaifitfam #dubaifitnessblogger #dubaifitnesstrainer #dubaifitnessmovement #fitnessindubai #uaefitness #dxbfit #dxblife #uaefitness

The study involved 5,432 people from rural and urban parts of Isfahan, Arak, and Najafabad. They were monitored for 12 years and interviewed every other year about their cardiovascular health.

The results showed that the participants who consumed two 30-gram portions of raw, unsalted nuts every week had a 17% lower chance of dying from a heart attack or stroke, regardless of other factors.

“Nuts are a good source of unsaturated fat and contain little saturated fat,” Dr. Mohammadifard said, as reported by Science Daily. “They also have protein, minerals, vitamins, fibre, phytosterols, and polyphenols which benefit heart health.”

]]> A lot of people have been soaking some seemingly strange ingredients lately, and if you’re confused by it all, you’re not alone. When you soak a dry-good for any amount of time, things start to happen. One could be that the ingredients get washed and its safer to eat, another could be that it simply softens them making it easier to digest and to cook. For all of these reasons and more, if you’re cooking or eating these ingredients, soak them first!

Brown Rice

Brown rice notoriously takes a long time to cook, anywhere from 45-55 minutes. Because of this, you should definitely take any measure to shorten the cooking time. Luckily, soaking will help you do this! Even soaking for as little as 20-30 minutes will speed up the cooking process, so why wouldn’t you?

Brown rice has phytic acid!! What is phytic acid? ⛔Phytic acid binds with the minerals and reduces their absorption ⛔ ⁉How to get rid of phytic acid? 👉Soaking brown rice..learn the trick!! It’s worth it!! ✅ soak your brown rice at room temperature ideally for 24 hours (if not at least 8-12 hours) ❌ Do Not change the water ✅ after 24 hours strain the water. Save half of the soaking water in a glass jar & store in the fridge ✅ for the next time you want to cook brown rice, use the stored soaking water & add more fresh water to cover the rice ✅ after 24 hours repeat the same procedure (Strain, Save, Store) ✅ each time you want to cook brown rice use the soaking water from the previous batch ‼the science behind it‼ Brown rice is high in Phytic Acid and is low in Phytase (the enzyme which breaks down phytic acid). So when we do this trick we would be actually providing more phytase (through the stored soaking water) to break down more phytic acid..eventually if we follow this we can get rid of 96% of the phytic acid in brown rice which ensures we are getting the real benefits of brown rice! It’s not complicated, it’s simple! STRAIN📍SAVE📍STORE #iinhealthcoach #holistichealth #soakingbrownrice #lebanonhealthcoach #kuwaithealthcoach #knowingiseverything Source: Whole Health Source

Nuts

Soaking nuts is really helpful for so many reasons. First of all, if you’re buying them in bulk, it helps get rid of any excess dirt on them. Second, if you’re going to be blending them to make any other ingredient, they will incorporate a lot better after being soaked. And third, you are breaking down the phytic acid which makes nuts harder to digest in your gut!

View this post on Instagram

Why is it good to soak nuts? It turns out that nuts contain natural chemicals, which help signal to the nut the right conditions to sprout. These natural chemicals are called phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors. They are good for the nuts, but we humans are not able to absorb them and that’s why eating nuts regularly can put a strain on our digestion, making us feel bloated or heavy. Enzyme inhibitors can also bind to some of the minerals in nuts, such as manganese, iron, calcium etc., so our bodies can’t absorb them fully. Nuts are known to be a very healthy food but when we eat them raw, we can’t benefit from them to their full potential – but we can if we soak them. What’s more, some raw nuts like almonds and walnuts can taste quite bitter naturally. Soaking them reduces this bitter taste and makes the flavour milder and creamier. So, soaking nuts makes them not only more nutritious but also more delicious!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you tried soaking nuts at home? #nuts #activatednuts #soakingnuts #nutmad #nutmadnuts #guthealth #digestivehealth #healthysnacks #vegansnacks #healthyliving #healthylifestyle #proteinsnack #almonds #snack #snacks #instafood #foodie #delicious #nutritious #nutritiousfood #realfood #madaboutnuts #greattasteawards

Nut and seed butters are packed full of great vitamins and minerals including protein, fiber, calcium, and more. The only problem is that buying them in the store doesn’t necessarily mean they’re completely healthy, so follow these tips and you can make your own at home in a snap!

Get Unsalted

https://www.instagram.com/p/BtKPJZbAcW0/

Whatever kind of butter you are going to make, start off by buying an unsalted version of the ingredient. You can add your own salt into the butter later on, but if you buy the salted version, it may turn out to be too salty.

Oil

https://www.instagram.com/p/Btz_sfVnhu8/

When you put the nuts or seeds in the food processor, it might just be crumbs at first. But don’t resort to oil! If you keep the motor running for a minute or so longer, you will find that smooth nut butter is just around the corner, no oil needed.

Skins

Hey’all from super hot Dallas ☀☀☀. This is the first day after the three day #plantparadoxcleanse, it’s almost 11am and my habit of fasting until lunch is still in place, even though I was dreaming of having the allowed phase 2 food I’m still not hungry in the morning. Roasted hazelnuts with pink Himalayan salt were my go to snack during the cleanse, especially in day 2 when I really felt like something satisfying. They smell and taste amazing and are super easy to make. Just put them in the oven at 350F for about 10 minutes and then wrap them in a towel for few minutes. The skins come off easily when they are cooling. I usually don’t have them with salt, but I think my body was screaming for salt, as I was having a lot of it. I’m really excited to make me some eggs for breakfast, and even more excited to cook the main meal of today, something I hope it will come out as good as I imagine. Hint: It will be a PP conversion of a Peruvian comfort food 😋. Wish me luck 💙 #plantparadox #theplantparadox #thenewhealthy #lectinfree #lectinfreediet #plantparadoxdiet #healthyfoodshare #intermittentfasting #foodismedicine #homecooking #roastedhazelnuts #hazelnuts #healthyfoodie #dallasfoodie #texasfoodie #antiinflammatorydiet #guthealth

If you’re using hazelnuts, almonds, or other nuts with skins, an easy way to get them off is to roast them for just 5 minutes or so, let them cool a bit, and then shake them in your hands to release the skins.
