It's another wonderful day at the Garden of Eden, and it's time for another wonderful feast!
We have more than enough of practically everything we can think of to eat, and this week we're choosing to indulge in super nutritious, clean foods to support our anti-candida protocol.
The diet temporarily eliminates sugar, meat, dairy, and most carbs, while focusing on fresh, whole, raw fruits, leafy greens, root vegetables, and squash. We realized that we have been enjoying more oil than what is recommended, so today we made a super simple meal for everyone.
We had steamed yucca, green peas, carrots, cauliflower, and a mixture of brown and black rice.
Yucca is a starchy root vegetable that is also called cassava. It’s a good source of fiber, folate, vitamin C, and potassium. It contains compounds that boost the immune system, decrease inflammation, support skin health, regulate blood sugar, and inhibit oxidative stress.
Carrots are high in beta carotene, the pigment that gives them their bright orange color. This too can boost the immune system as well as protect vision and eye health.
Cauliflower is rich in phytonutrients. Often, colorful natural food indicates it is a primo source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, but even though cauliflower is white it is still dense in nutritious compounds!
Green peas are a very good source of vitamin K, manganese, dietary fiber, B vitamins, copper, vitamin C, phosphorus, molybdenum, zinc, protein, magnesium, iron, potassium and choline.
White rice is simply brown rice that has been milled and polished - and stripped of important nutrients in the process. Brown rice contains B vitamins and the trace minerals manganese, selenium, phosphorous, magnesium, and copper.
Per our high sustainable standards, we prepared everything in our outdoor kitchen. We cook over rocket stoves which we built out of dirt by hand. We do not use gas or electricity, but instead burn fence panels donated to us by a friend so he doesn't have to unload them at the landfill - where he would actually have to pay to pollute the Earth. Instead of that nonsense, we alchemize them into high vibe cuisine to feed a whole community of people!
Food is important and we hope to inspire people to really take time to eat, enjoy it, and share it with someone you love. We also hope to inspire more and more sustainable practices in regards to food. We want to remind everyone to let food be your medicine too!
