The best superfood in autumn
Let's make a superfood fantasy trip. Ready? And zack! Already we are in a golden autumn sun flooded loft in Berlin-Mitte. Nearly 200 square meters of living space, sanded wooden floorboards, four-meter ceilings with plenty of stucco, two balconies and? but actually we are not interested in all that, as we want the kitchen in the heart of the apartment. Ah, there she is already. Wow - checkerboard tiles, in the middle of it a gigantic cooking island with an overhead extractor hood. Around a rustic dining table, five chairs group under white covers. Lots of stainless steel and wood, lots of copper, very chic the whole thing. An almost reverent silence fills the room, tiny particles of dust float through the diagonally falling sunbeams, everything seems ready. Ready for what? Oh, of course? please give over the program, please, here it is:
The superfood gives itself the ear
The following superfood representatives are expected:
- the nuts
- the berries
- the seeds
- the algae
- a surprise guest
The theme of the Superfood Talk is: "Your food should be your medicine and your medicine should be your food." (Hippocrates)
It is moderated by Kai Pflaume (Kai, because somehow he can moderate everything and his last name fits nicely with the theme of superfood, okay?). And now please a thunderous applause for our guests.
One superfood representative after another enters the exclusive kitchen studio and takes a seat at the dining table. The surprise guest wears a cucumber mask (as original). Finally, Kai Pflaume appears, greets the superfood representatives cordially and starts immediately: So, my dears? Before we get to the actual topic, I would like to ask you for a short introductory round. Who are you, what are your typical characteristics and why do you consider yourself the best superfood? Maybe we'll start with the nuts on the left?
The nuts
are simply underestimated by many, begins the nut-representative with the edgy nutcracker face. As a real superfood they are full of vitamins and minerals for a strong immune system. In addition to high levels of protein, they also contain high-quality fatty acids and nerve-boosting B vitamins. Just take our secret superstar, the WALNUT. Women in particular benefit from their high content of folic acid. And with its extra dose of zinc, it supports the natural beauty from within.
Pffft, ole dickmacher, the superfood surprise guest mumbles behind his cucumber mask.
The Nut Man continues to speak: But also HAZELNUTS, CASHEWKERNE and the great MACADAMIA NUTS can score with plenty of B vitamins and nutrients for a quick performance kick. Granted? a grumpy side glance to the surprise guest? Due to the high calorie density you should not eat more than a handful of nuts a day. But they also make you tired for a long time. Nuts are vegan and taste great in cereal or fruit salad. But also pure or as so-called trail mix they are a healthy pleasure. After all, does Superfood have one?
Here Kai interrupts the slow-talking nut man with a discreet look at his wristwatch. Thank you, but our short airtime? He nods to Frau Berry: May I ask?
The berries
? are the undisputed number one of all superfood products, says the slightly plump berry rep. Her face takes on a delicate strawberry pink before excitement. For centuries, for example, GOJI BERRY has been called the "berry of life" in China. designated. And rightly so: With its above-average content of vitamins and minerals, it brings the immune system properly going. GOJI BERRIES contain an incredible 19 amino acids and ten of them are so-called essential amino acids, which can be supplied to the body exclusively through food.
Listen, hear the surprise guest mutters well, whereupon the face color of the berry representative of strawberry pink changes to a rich red.
Superfood is a lofty concept, it goes on a little louder, but thanks to the liver-strengthening minerals potassium, magnesium and calcium, the GOJI BERRY carries this predicate quite rightly. Oh yes, and not to forget: Numerous antioxidants give the human body a strong protection against oxidative stress. She casts a quick glance around as if she's afraid to explain her last sentence, but luckily no one responds. GOJI BEEREN is a perfect way to prepare a delicious tea, but as an ingredient in muesli or smoothie, it also provides a fresh and fruity aroma. Later, I will go into more detail on the ACAI BERRIES, which are also superfood and anti-aging miracles, as well as the sour-bitter ARONIA BERRIES.
Kai nods her friendly: So far thank you. Then we can continue with the seeds?
The seeds
? are the key to every superfood, the seed representative opens his imagination. The deep wrinkles in his heavily tanned face are reminiscent of freshly pulled furrows.Without seeds no plants, without plants no superfood? Sounds logical, right? As one of the most important representatives of its kind one can confidently call the CHIA SEED. In Central America, CHIA SEED has been considered for centuries as one of the most valuable sources of quality protein and essential omega-3 fatty acids. By the way, did you know that CHIA SAMEN is a natural binder? Three tablespoons of swollen seeds easily replace an egg when baking, that's what I call a real superfood!
He throws a cheering look round the table, but only reaps a bored shrug from the surprise guest.
But also the tasty HANF SEEDS are among the best energy suppliers, the seed representative continues. With their high fiber content they guarantee an excellent satiety effect and are suitable for baking bread or energy bars as well as a crunchy topping on savory dishes and desserts. Of course, the HANF seeds that are suitable for consumption are absolutely free from the intoxicating substance THC.
Kai winks conspiratorially to the seed man: Well, we're all calm here in the public-law, right? So we come to the algae?
The algae
"Are totally unfairly considered the dirty kids of the superfood scene," says the algae representative. Apparently, everyone thinks of the smelly and unappetizing algae clusters on the beach. She strokes her green colored hair out of her face, lost in thought. For example, SPIRULINA ALGE could become one of the most important protein sources of the future. With its extremely high content of vital substances, SPIRULINA optimally prepares our immune system for the coming cold season. In addition, their positive effects on allergic reactions of all kinds are currently being intensively researched.
The superfood surprise guest yawns loud and long, without putting his hand over his mouth. He who believes, he mutters to himself.
Likewise, the microalgae CHLORELLA as the absolute top superfood, continues the visibly annoyed algae representatives, no other plant can boast a higher content of chlorophyll. CHLORELLA supports the formation of new blood cells and accelerates wound healing. It turns a normal smoothie into a real superfood smoothie and provides the vital vitality kick. Here the algae representative breaks off and gives Kai Pflaume a questioning look.
Very nice, really nice says this. Many thanks to all superfood representatives. Only the superfood surprise guest, he throws a critical look. And we? Well, we have heard all the important superfood information and therefore leave at this point the noble fantasy kitchen. The only question left is: Who is the rude Superfood representative behind his silly cucumber mask? And why does the mysterious superfood have to behave so rude? I hope you find answers in your comments. Mr. Pflaume and I are very excited?
