Doctors on TV and Olive Oil, Pine Nut Butter, and Chia Seeds
Doctor Oz and the physicians from TheDoctorsTV show all discuss the health benefits of olive oil, nuts, and chia seeds virtually every week. Dr. Oz mentions chia seeds more than any other type of seed he find value in for improving your health, especially your brain, heart, and fatty metabolism. Although flaxseeds do come in second place for the good doc…as well as for Dr. Northrup when she appeared on Oprah!
We continue to find more wonderful recipes and uses for chia seeds. You, too, will want to learn many of the ways you can incorporate this precious seed into your weekly food plans. Here’s our favorite source for chia seeds and some other tasty tidbits that we simply MUST tell you about:
You can obviously find olive oil at every grocery store and many online sites, but you really want to pay attention to quality when it comes to healthy oils. The last thing you want is rancid oil. You also want to ensure that you have the finest extra virgin olive oil on the market that is organic. Right up there with olive oil, you want to be including olives and tapenades in your regular diet. This is going to be useful for every cell in your body. Besides the fact that these gems taste great whether whole or made into a spread.
OK…now for the drum roll, please! Pine Nut Butter.
Wow! Most people use the whole pine nuts in salads, soups, breads, pestos, and other dishes. But rarely will you ever find the lovely pine nut prepared into a raw butter that has enzymes intact and all the flavor you could ever ask for wrapped up into one jar!
Whether sweetened or made into savory dishes, this butter from the pine nut will open up new vistas in food for you. Then once you are completely spoiled, please experiment with other nut butters. You haven’t lived until you explore the worlds of cashew butter and hazelnut butter blended with chocolate… ahhhh!
OK…that did it…now I am exceedingly hungry. So here I go to quench my desire for these delightful foods. I’ll see you in the kitchen!
