Artgerechte Food Facts
Rhubarb is rich in vitamins and has digestive and germination-promoting properties. It also has a blood-purifying effect. However, be careful with the leaves: they contain oxalic acid, which is why they should not be consumed. The oxalic acid content in rhubarb also increases in the late summer months. Rhubarb is therefore only harvested until the end of June.
Eggs are a great source of protein and have a firm place in a species-appropriate diet. They are also a good source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids and contain numerous vitamins, such as vitamins A, B, D and E. (Please note: animal products are only species-appropriate if the animal has also been kept and fed in a species-appropriate manner.Vanilla is the fermented and dried fruit capsule of the vanilla orchid. Strictly speaking, vanilla is part of the flower. Edible flowers can be used for cooking, look beautiful and summery and lift the mood. Vanilla can have a positive effect on cortisol sensitivity. It also has a mood-enhancing, aphrodisiac, invigorating, relaxing, muscle-strengthening, metabolic and digestive effect.
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.
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 organs for starch. Tapioca is a species-appropriate food in terms of quantity, which can be used as an alternative gluten-free starch.
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 higher the pinostrobin content.
