Artgerechte Food Facts
Chestnuts or chestnuts have a prickly shell and a healthy core. They are high in protein, vitamins and minerals, contain polyunsaturated fats and act as a natural antioxidant. Chestnuts are rich in potassium and promote heart health. Vitamin B also strengthens the nerves. Complex carbohydrates also provide long-lasting satiety and ensure a slow and stable rise in blood sugar.
Almonds have a high calorie density, but are very healthy. The carbohydrates in almonds and also in nuts are only released slowly during digestion. Almonds contain a lot of vegetable protein and are rich in polyunsaturated fats. They also have an antioxidant effect.
Olivesöl are a natural source of fat and therefore an important source and store of energy. Our PHENOLIO rounds off the dish with its fresh, fruity and tangy flavor. It also has a very high content of polyphenols, which have a health-promoting, anti-inflammatory and protective effect.
Tapioca starch: The starch of the cassava plant is called tapioca and is available as tapioca flour or in spherical form. The staple food cassava (also known as cassava or yuca) is a tuber that grows underground like potatoes or sweet potatoes and has large storage organelles for starch. Tapioca is a species-appropriate food in terms of quantity, which can be used as a gluten-free starch alternative.
Onions are good sources of potassium, vitamin B and vitamin C – but they are particularly healthy because of their many antioxidants.
Rucola and wild herbs as green leafy vegetables are an essential part of a species-appropriate diet. They contain bitter substances that regulate our immune system, chlorophyll and other secondary plant substances that provide our cells with more energy and protect them from free radicals. There is also fiber, which our intestinal bacteria use as food. The mustard oils in rocket give it its bitter taste.
Tomatoes should always be consumed when ripe. All tomatoes are green at first – so they camouflage/protect themselves to avoid being eaten. Solanine, which is poisonous to us, is responsible for coloration. The solanine content decreases as the tomato ripens. The riper the tomato, the healthier it is. The best tomatoes are fully ripe tomatoes that have been harvested when ripe and not tomatoes that have been harvested unripe and have only ripened. In winter, it can therefore make sense to use ripe tomatoes in jars. Tomatoes belong to the nightshade family. They contain substances that can cause slight irritation of the immune system, depending on the degree of ripeness. The more ripe, the less irritation. This is why eggplants, tomatoes and peppers are among the most species-appropriate foods in terms of quantity.
Fresh herbs are ideal for refining. In addition, the amount of different plants we eat each week strongly determines the diversity of our intestinal flora. The easiest way to create diversity here is to use herbs, which is why they can also be used in abundance in cooking. Basil in particular supports the gut thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties.
