Almonds, nuts, seeds & Co

200 healthy and delicious recipes

Imagine a food whose regular consumption would reduce mortality. A food that would protect us from numerous illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases... A food rich in vegetable proteins, good fats, fiber, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants... A gourmet food, to be enjoyed raw or incorporated into healthy and delicious recipes, with a very low glycemic index, so that we could enjoy it without fear of gaining weight...

The good news is that this food does exist!

It belongs to the nut and oilseed families. These include almonds, walnuts (walnut, Brazil nut, cashew, pecan, macadamia), hazelnuts, pistachios, pine nuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds... These two families have recently been the subject of a great deal of scientific research, which has revealed their many beneficial effects on health and recommends that they be consumed on a daily basis.

In this book, you'll find detailed factsheets on the nutritional qualities and possible uses of each of these nuts and seeds. Ecological balance and allergenic potential are also discussed. 200 recipes complete the package, for healthy eating from breakfast to dinner.

So don't wait any longer! Nibble on them as they are, and add them to your recipes: nut and seed spreads, cashew pumpkin salad, almond soup, sesame falafel, azuki pate with walnuts, peanut potatoes, salmon with pistachios, chia pancakes...
