I discover the Chayotte

Posted on 21 October 202021 October 2020 by Claire Samuel

Christophine or chouchou or chayotte is a magnificent fruit vegetable that grows on Reunion Island and in the West Indies my friend my sister. However, a long time ago, Christophine was also found in Marseille, France.

The Christophine is absolutely delicious, with a taste between zucchini, cucumber and potato.

Very low in calories, Christophine is diuretic, purifying, rich in vitamin C and it helps breastfeeding mothers.

I use the S-blade blender to make shredded Christophine and just add tamari, olive oil and apple cider vinegar.

I discover cherimoya

Posted on 12 October 202013 October 2020 by Claire Samuel

Cherimoya or custard apple is an exotic fruit very rich in vitamins and minerals, with black seeds inside (inedible) and a sweet and soft flesh. I love cherimoya! Impossible to describe the taste to you in the right words, for me cherimoya reminds me of childhood candies.

Nature offers us so many different fruits. There is so much variety when you eat fresh fruits and vegetables, so much abundance and so much to discover. While you provide goodness to your body, you improve your vitality and you respect the life of animals.

You will find custard apple or cherimoya in markets, in African and Asian stores and at Grand Frais if you are in France.

For more about the amazing world of fresh and living products, there is the Magical food category my friend my sister.

Dates unboxing: Ajwa, Safawi, Sukari and Khidri

Posted on 9 October 20206 October 2020 by Claire Samuel

Thanks to my daughter who did her research on my friend Anne-Marie’s channel Crudivegan, I ordered from Dattelmann my friend my sister. You know I love dates and when I lived in Tunisia I used to enjoy the high quality dates you find there. Dates are of course very sweet but also very concentrated in minerals, especially potassium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, in trace elements, such as copper, zinc or even iron and antioxidants.

So I am pleased to present four varieties of dates that are absolutely tasty but not too sweet: Ajwa with its medicinal properties, Safawi with a little coffee taste, Sukari chewy which is like a mixture of honey and caramel and the beautiful dark and intense Khidri.

Tiger nuts milk with a juicer

Posted on 7 October 20206 October 2020 by Claire Samuel

I buy my tigernuts at Biovie. Making tiger nuts milk with a juice extractor is so easy. Be sure to insert the nuts with water in the Kuvings extractor (I have an evo 820). I love the taste of tigernuts milk. It is very concentrated when made in the juicer so it can be mixed with water to make it last longer. My tiger nuts mylk lasted for two days in the fridge.

Use the link Biovie to get 5 euros off your order my friend my sister.
