The Life-Changing Activated Seed Loaf

INGREDIENTS

1 C Pepitas and Sunflower seed mix - ground half of these

1/2C Flax seeds - freshly ground

1/2 C Buckwheat flour

1 1/2 C Rolled oats

2 T Chia seeds, ground with flax

3 T Psyllium husk powder

1t Sea Salt & Fennel seeds

3 T Coconut oil mixed with 1 1/2 C water



METHOD

Try to use organic ingredients wherever possible
Mix all the dry ingredients then pour over the wet and combine.
Line a bread tin with baking paper, spoon the mixture in and press down firmly.
Cover and let this sit for at least 3 hours. During this time the seeds soften and the binding ingredients; flax, chia & psyllium absorb the moisture and create a glue to harden the loaf.
Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees.
Bake the loaf for 20 minutes, flip it upside down onto a wire rack and remove the baking paper, then bake for a further 40 minutes.
Let loaf cool before slicing and store it in the fridge.

Grass roots simple, yet rewarding fermented beverage.

Have you ever thought; what can I do with all the ginger pulp after juicing?

It’s perfectly flavourful to create something different.

Add your pulp to a large jar, add equal ratio of honey to pulp and top up with filtered water. Put the lid on the jar and let it ferment out of sunlight for a few weeks. Stir it occasionally.

Strain & Squeeze the pulp/liquid then bottle it. Second ferment on the bench for a few days before refrigeration. It’s very explosive so beware & burp it.

Currently experimenting adding it to Jun (green tea & honey kombucha) during its bottling stage. And as a water kefir flavouring .. nearly ready to try.

Thinking I’ll need to test with Hydrometer in future 💥

The juice is loose!

Herb Sauce Obsession

A bunch each of your favourite herbs, I use all or a few of these
Dill
Parsley
Basil
Moringa

Pick Leaf & soft part of the stems, wash and stuff into blender with juice from one big lemon, lime, grapefruit or orange. one or two chilli, salt & a splash of MCT coconut oil. Add some h**p seeds if you want it thick & creamy, or more water for a lighter consistency.

Add this sauce to anything & everything. great way to store the herbs as the vibrancy lives for a week in the fridge.

Here we have it with steamed baby Taro & Penang Archer Kimchi

“Achiote” & “Annatto” are used interchangeably. They both refer to Bixa orellana which is a shrub native to South America and Mexico that famously produces this classic red orange condiment. Used in many culinary dishes, as a food colouring & lipstick dye however it also has many health benefits.

Achiote is high in carotenoids, terpenoids, flavonoids, and tocotrienols, bioactive compounds that are part of vitamin E and have antioxidant effects that help prevent skin aging.

What are Tocotrienols?

Achiote may improve gut health because it is rich in tocotrienols that support the balance of intestinal microbiota, helping maintain healthy digestion and improving nutrient absorption.

The tocotrienols found in achiote have antioxidant effects and may help lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, which are responsible for plaque buildup in the arteries.

Tocotrienols also help prevent the loss of thickness in the hard outer layer of the femur bone, helping maintain bone health. tocotrienol content has neuroprotective properties that may help prevent cell damage caused by free radicals, supporting brain health.

A bounty of healthful treats for this weekend markets;

Saturday’s Mossman
Sunday’s @ Tanks Cairns

Annatto Oil
❤️ Cancer preventing antioxidants, beneficial for protecting skin cells reducing signs of aging and inflammation.
❤️ Annatto also contains minerals like calcium, sodium and iron to strengthen bones.

Sauerkraut & KimChi
Are probiotic’s because they contains live bacteria. In addition to being a great source of fibre.

Fibre is food for the trillions of microbes living in your large intestine and what those microbes do with it has profound consequences for your hormones, immunity, and long term health.

Fermented foods are pre-digested fibre, as micrombie present on raw vegetables have begun the breakdown and are colonising good bacteria. So when you consume it, it’s easier to digest & you get a more diverse range of beneficial bacteria entering your digestive tract.

There are two types of fibre yes?Soluble/Insoluble

💡Soluble fibre dissolves in water, slows glucose absorption, lowers LDL cholesterol, and feeds beneficial bacteria. Rich sources include oats, apples, legumes, flaxseeds, and psyllium husk.

💡Insoluble fibre adds bulk to stool and keeps transit time healthy, reducing the time potential carcinogens sit against the intestinal wall. Rich sources include vegetables, wholegrains, nuts, and seeds.

Water Kefir, Kombucha, Kimchi, Coconut Kefir, Sauerkraut, Granola, Salad Sprinkles, Golden Hummus.

If your new to fermented foods, I’ll introduce you to the ‘Tasting Plate’ 😋
