Super Grains & Seeds

Más información sobre el libro

Do you know your chia from your quinoa, your flax from your farro? Grains and seeds possess potent health-giving properties; they are packed with vitamins, dietary fibre, and essential amino acids, and are known to support the immune system. But most people don’t incorporate enough of these superfoods into their diets, and they are missing out—on both the health benefits and on the flavor! Amy Ruth Finegold has rid herself of the health problems that plagued her and discovered a whole new exciting way to eat by embracing these ancient grains—from amaranth to bulgur, buckwheat to teff. Get off to a good start with Breakfast options including Amaranth Porridge and Pineapple Bran Muffins. Soups include the fruity and tangy Summer Melon Soup with Tamarind, while Salads and Snacks also make a perfect light meal—try a Wheatberry Salad with Apples and Pecans, or dip Amaranth Crackers into a vibrant Beet and Herb Dip. Entrées to enjoy include: Roasted Kombucha Squash with Avocado Hemp Yogurt Dressing and Lamb Chops with a Warm Quinoa Apricot Salad. Seeds and grains work well in sweet dishes, too. Round off your meal with Peach Pie with a Sunflower Seed Crust or Coconut Chia Pudding, or treat yourself to Quinoa Peanut Butter Cookies.
