Benefits of Aloe Vera 30/05/2020

Experts agree that aloe vera is safe to drink, as long as it’s consumed properly. Pure aloe vera juice (as opposed to aloe vera drinks that are loaded with added sugar and flavorings), could be considered alongside herbal remedies as a way to support healthy skin and provide additional nutrients, vitamins, and overall better health.

Salmon roe & Omega-3 benefits.
Salmon, in particular, is known as one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. Apart from having a high content of omega-3, the fish is rich in protein, B-vitamins, selenium, magnesium, and potassium as well. Consumption of salmon roe may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease in adults. A diet full of fresh fruits and vegetables, a portion of seafood, and increased consumption of nutrients including omega-3 is necessary to maintain overall health.

Olive oil is a slippery business. Just like honey, olive oil is one of the world’s top food items susceptible to food fraud. So why don’t we try to keep it local? South Africa makes world-class oils deserving of the international accolades they receive. Our oil is checked by the SA Olive Association to ensure it is what it says it is. So look for the SA Olive Seal to be sure you are getting what you are paying for. We are spoiled with choice. Our olive oils are of much better quality and price compared to the imported fakes.

South Africans don’t need an excuse to light up the fire. Come rain or shine. And whether its breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, there is a braai taking place somewhere. Apart from the food always being good, its also about the whole social experience. While waiting for the fire, there is a long gathering that can last for hours on end. So next time you want to prepare a leg of lamb, don’t pop it into the oven. Try it on the open fire.

Micro herbs have a far more intense flavour than their size would suggest because all the flavour is concentrated into the smaller root. So you don’t need to use much to add a huge burst of fresh, herbal vibrance to your dishes.

When we enjoy our cup of coffee in the morning, we hardly think of the processes it’s gone through to get to our cup. We are not really exposed to news about coffee as a commodity. Not if you don’t follow it closely. Here is a quick eye-opener for you.

There is a wide range of evidence showing that the coffee price crisis has left producers earning less for their coffee than its costs to produce. This means, a coffee farm is not a profitable business. And these farmers are living in poverty.
