If you are into healthy cooking – want to create an alkaline environment in your body, then you can’t avoid these three ingredients. They are real health all-rounders and belong on a healthy and balanced menu.
Broccoli contains a lot of chlorophyll, which helps to keep the blood in a healthy condition. Azuki beans – the finest of all beans – are considered a real superfood. Not only are they rich in vitamins, but they also contain calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and folic acid. Since azuki beans contain a lot of protein, they are a perfect source of protein. The healthy beans have been cultivated in the Asian region for thousands of years. In Japan, they are the most important domestic crop along with the soybean.
Brown rice is very suitable if you want to reduce your weight, because it also calms your blood sugar levels. Important to note: Before cooking brown rice, soak it for 8–24 hours. This will not only reduce the cooking time significantly, but you will also reduce the amount of phytic acid.
