Pineapple/8 recipes

This recipe is a great example of how a vegan or gluten-free diet doesn’t mean a restrictive one. Quinoa is ‘out of this world’ for goodness and may quite literally be ‘out of this world’ in the future! Nasa science investigations are experimenting to assess germination of Quinoa in microgravity, this proves how valuable a source of nutrition this seed is. Quinoa is a perfect provider of protein, this is determined by the fact that it contains all the essential amino acids. It is high in antioxidants that neutralise the free radicals that harm our body and it also has other numerous health benefits. What may soon be a celestial body should surely be pronounced correctly – Keen-wah!

Give a warm welcome to this cool smoothie. Mint has traditionally had a role in welcoming guests throughout history, and by many different cultures. The ancient Greeks rubbed mint leaves on the dining tables to greet guests, mint tea is offered to guests in the Middle East and many cultures boil the leaves to freshen the air. This is also the recipe to say goodbye – to stomach problems – mint has a soothing effect on the digestive tract, relieving symptoms of indigestion, cucumber too is high in fibre, also good for digestive health and pineapple contains a digesting enzyme that is unique to pineapples, Bromelain. Bromelain is know to be good for brain health, also, when you are cooking one of our delicious meat recipes, the meat can be tenderized with pineapple because the Bromelain breaks down the meat proteins. Cucumbers are cool too, they are mainly water, 95% in fact, making them ideal for hydration. Cucumbers contain polyphenols called lignans which are considered helpful in lowering the risk of breast, ovarian and prostate cancers. Be prepared to be bowled over by this smoothie!
