Det er de spiselige bønner der her er tale om. Dem findes der rigtig mange forskellige af. I år har jeg lilla buskbønner i haven og herunder kan du se hvilken powerfood det er: Bønner – sorte, grønne, hvide og røde – er på top-10 over de sundeste fødevarer, du kan indtage. Og overvejer du at skære ned på kødet, er de helt uundværlige. Bønner og andre bælgfrugter er god slankemad. De mætter, fordi de indeholder en speciel form for kostfibre og er meget proteinrige. Samtidig er de fattige på kalorier i forhold til næringsværdien. Ifølge helbredsundersøgelser har folk, der spiser en kost med mange bønner, f.eks. i middelhavslandene, lavere risiko for hjerte-kar-sygdom, hvilket formentlig skyldes de såkaldte fytostoffer i bønner....

Hi there lovely one. Good to have you back for the Plantstories again… In “Close To Plants 1” I told you about the raspberries, the currants and the gooseberries. This time I will tell you about all the rest from my blueberries to my beloved pear tree. If a kitchen has only a few herbs in its possession, basil will likely be one of them. Its fragrant essence combines well with rosemary and thyme in meat dishes, fish, vegetables, cheese, soup and eggs, and is one of the main ingredients in pesto, along with pine nuts and parmesan cheese. I have my basil inside my Greenhouse. Basil is considered one of the healthiest herbs. It’s best when fresh, exuding a sweet, earthy aroma that...

Plants is just amazing organisms. Quiet still standing (most of them) creatures that are so important for our lives. We call it The Blue Planet, but we should rather call it The Green Planet. Maybe then we would respect them a little more and know that without them……..there would be nothing. Below a little poem about the process from the plants that we are so depending on and since I am a schoolteacher in Biology, well then it is inevitably ;O) When it comes to food you can just feel how good plants are for you. One of my favorite doings is to go around in my garden and talk to my plants…….Ok ok well not talking, something like feeling...

Sund mad Hvis der er noget der er skrevet side op og ned om, så er det sund mad. Desuden hvad er sund mad? Opfattelsen af sund mad ændrer sig hele tiden. Hvad der var sundt for blot nogle få år tilbage er måske ikke engang sundt i dag. Så hvordan ved man egentlig hvad der er sund mad? Jeg har tre grundprincipper til mad, som jeg kalder SEB-princippet. Det skal være Sundt. Det skal være Etisk forsvarligt. Det skal være Bæredygtigt. Igen hvad er sundt mad. Der findes mange sundhedsguruer og forskning på området, og jeg har læst mange af dem. Den bedste og klogeste bog jeg til dato har læst er bogen, “Den plantebaserede Kost” af Maria Felding...
