Artgerechte Food Facts
Sea spaghetti are brown algae and are particularly popular in the raw food kitchen. In Germany they are also known as Riementang. Algae can break down toxins in our bodies and contain high amounts of vitamins, trace elements and minerals with good bioavailability. The amount of iodine, vitamin K and a usable precursor of our human thyroid hormone is particularly noteworthy.
Cucumbers have antibacterial, antioxidant and antidiabetic properties. Squeezing the cucumber until it breaks intensifies the flavor and has a cooling effect in summer.
Limes have a high vitamin content, especially vitamin C, trace elements and secondary plant substances. They also activate liver enzymes that help us detoxify.
Ginger is rich in secondary plant substances that actively support our immune system. It has an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, metabolism-regulating and anti-diabetic effect. It is particularly good for treating digestive problems, pain and colds. In addition, its intense flavor makes you feel full sooner.
Chilis contain capsaicin, which has very positive properties on blood sugar levels, blood clotting and the defense against free radicals.
Honey has been considered a natural remedy for thousands of years and is known for its effect against pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. Manuka honey works best here – its high methylglyoxal content (MGO) makes it unique. In general, the darker the honey, the better, as the pinostrobin content is then higher.
Vinegar has a probiotic effect. However, it is important to ensure that it is of good quality - vinegar should not have been heated, otherwise it will not have a probiotic effect.
Olivesöl are a natural source of fat and therefore an important source and store of energy. In addition, high-quality olive oil has a very high content of polyphenols, which have a health-promoting, anti-inflammatory and protective effect.
