Kamut is an ancient relative of durum wheat and is sometimes tolerated by those who are wheat sensitive. It also has the bonus of containing twenty to forty percent more protein than regular wheat. You can substitute it for those nutty kernels called wheat berries, or rice. A nice stir fry with veggies would taste great, contain added protein, and be a healthy alterative perhaps to fried rice or another dish. Another rather odd plant that you may not have thought of eating is Spring dandelion greens. They are low in calories and high in fiber. You can use them in a chicken or pasta dish, but as they are a little bitter, try cooking them with something sweet. When I use them I think of the great Sci-Fi short story, Dandelion Wine, and wine is another use for these greens, if you were so inclined.
Tempeh is fermented soybeans. It is an Indonesian staple and may also relieve the symptoms of menopause. It can be cooked and used like extra firm tofu in any recipe that would use tofu, and it can add a nuttier, mushroom-like flavor to many dishes. If you've seen those chia seed "pots" that arrive around Christmas time and are shaped like the character of the moment, consider chia seeds themselves. They are nutrient dense whole grains that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Use them like flax seeds-- perhaps sprinkling on cereal or oatmeal or breakfast or as a nutrition bonus on salads.
Canned or fresh pumpkin (the fresh kind takes a lot of work to prepare), is rich in fiber and beta carotene. an anti-oxidant. Cube up the pumpkin if it's the fresh kind, and fry up in a bit of olive oil and salt and pepper. Pumpkin from a can may be used for pancakes or into a delicious soup. After the Halloween pumpkin is carved, you can go at it and save all of the flesh and even roast the seeds. This large gourd is a very useful food source, and packed with nutrients.
As you are trying some new foods for the first time, spices and herbs could be critical to the taste and even look of the food. Freshly ground spices always taste better (or grown in your kitchen window leafy ones like basil and parsley), so purchasing a herb grinder if you are using a larger quantity, would save a lot of work. After all, you don't want those whole peppercorns shooting off your counter like tiny rockets and bouncing off the walls, do you? Whatever you try, stay healthy and be happy. |
