Ice Worms were first introduced to Upper Canada by Chatham's original settlers in the 1800's. Most Ice Worm dishes are homemade from family recipes that have been passed down for generations, and are often available for sale at local convenience stores or specialty food shops in and around the Municipality of Chatham-Kent. Although not available commercially for sale due to Health Canada restrictions on some of the ingredients (mainly the worms) you will still see Ice Worms being sold along the highways of Canada's deep south near the shores of Lake Erie, and in small communities along the Thames river around Chatham, Ontario.

Now for the cheese topping – Cashews contain Magnesium, older people can quite often be deficient in Magnesium and this is linked to Osteoporosis, Coronary Heart disease and Insulin Resistance. A last look at the sauce and topping – Oregano – a potent anti-oxidant and a good source of fibre that binds toxins and removes them from the body while Tomatoes contain Lycopene that has been linked to Prostate Cancer prevention and also protects the eyes from age-related Macular Degeneration.

Flaxseeds have been eaten for thousands of years, they are a plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids which according to various studies help to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels, support heart health and help to prevent some cancers, not to mention protecting against cognitive decline. Flaxseeds contain high levels of mucilage gum, this is a gel-forming fibre that is beneficial for intestinal health, this gum keeps food in the stomach for longer allowing more absorption of the food’s nutrients. Fennel seeds contain dietary fibre so these also benefit intestinal health. Both seeds have antioxidants that fight the harming free radicals as well as many vitamins. Enjoy a super Chanukah.
