7 Edible Weeds That Are More Nutritious Than Vegetables - Gardening Tips

When we buy and plant packets of common flower, vegetable, or herb seeds, we spend a lot of energy, time, and water in our efforts to get those seeds to germinate and grow, and take pride in our homegrown food supply.

When a plant that we identify as being a weed is found growing in our lawn or garden, out comes the hoe and trowel. And it’s too bad, as many of the common garden weeds are not only edible and nutritious, but can be a great homegrown addition to our meals.

Edible weeds include purslane, Dandelion, clover, plantain and wild-Amaranth, Chickweed, Chicory, Common Mallow, Curly Dock, Lamb’s Quarters, Plantain, Alfalfa, Bitter Dock, Chamomile.

Is Honey More Nutritious Than Sugar?

how to be more nutritious No Comments »

We are often told that refined sugar is empty calories and poison. But honey, on the other hand, is nutritious and healing, and therefore a great substitute for sugar. How much better is honey than sugar? Do the nutrients in honey offer substantial benefits? This video examines the claimed nutritional benefits of honey. Something I did not point out in the video, but that is very enlightening, is that while HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) is maligned for its fructose content, those same detractors embrace honey for its natural goodness. I went over the typical fructose content of honey in the video, but I forgot to mention that honey contains MORE fructose than the type of HFCS with the highest percentage of fructose, around 38%. While a typical batch of honey can contain up to 40% fructose. If HFCS is evil, than so is honey. But honey is not evil, nor is it that much different than plain sugar (as explained in the vid).

What is honey? Honey is not, as is commonly claimed “bee vomit.” At least, not exactly. Worker bees from honey bee hives collect nectar from various flowers and store it in a special sac, a honey sac.” They do not eat it and then vomit it up or regurgitate it, as such. However, in the sac, the nectar is acted upon by glandular secretions that change it chemically, somewhat, and once the nectar is deposited in the honey comb, these changes continue, while the nectar is evaporated, with help from the bees who “stir” it, until it is much thicker. There is actually much more pure surcrose (like in white table sugar) in the original nectar than in the finished honey. See the video for more information on the types of sugars in honey.

More nutritious vegetable milk, according to a study

how to be more nutritious No Comments »

A team of researchers from McGill University (Canada) has carried out a study that reveals which plant milk is the most nutritious. Scientists have analyzed soy milk, rice milk, coconut milk and almond milk to compare their nutritional values ​​with those of cow’s milk and see which alternative is the healthiest of all. Scientists at McGill University undertook this research because they considered that, although the consumption of different types of vegetable milk has increased in recent years, there is not much information to analyze and compare the advantages and disadvantages of taking these dairy products of plant origin . To shed some light on this, the team has analyzed the four types of vegetable milk most common in the market, which are almond, soy, rice and coconut. After obtaining their nutritional values, they have compared them with those of cow’s milk.

The results reveal that, after cow’s milk, the most nutritious and balanced milk drink is soy milk. This type of milk drink has been used for decades as a substitute for cow’s milk for people who do not feel well, and it is the alternative with a more balanced nutritional profile. What worries scientists is the presence of antinutrients, which are substances that interfere with the absorption of nutrients. The study determines that rice milk is an alternative with low nutritional values. It is especially indicated for people with lactose intolerance to which soy milk or almonds cause allergy. Coconut milk, on the other hand, lacks proteins and, although it has few calories, most come from fat. It has the advantage that it can help reduce low density lipoproteins, also known as bad cholesterol. Finally, almond milk has a high content of monounsaturated fatty acids that are considered useful in weight loss, and can also help lower bad cholesterol. Of course, you need complementary sources of food to provide essential nutrients.

Ample Meal Replacement Review (UPDATE): Even More Nutritious?

how to be more nutritious 18 Comments »

USE THE CODE BARBEND TO GET 15% OFF YOUR AMPLE ORDER HERE: https://www.amplemeal.com/products/ample?utm_source=barbend&utm_medium=blog
READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE: https://barbend.com/ample-meal-replacement-review/

Ample has carved an unusual niche in the meal replacement industry: instead of focusing on being ultra low-calorie and packed with added vitamins and minerals, the idea is that the product:

* Improves gut health
* Improves insulin sensitivity
* Lowers inflammation

Let’s take a closer look at the nutrition and the ingredients.

(Note: We receive free products to review and participate in affiliate programs, where we are compensated for items purchased through links from our site. See our disclosure page on BarBend.com for details: https://barbend.com/additional-disclaimers-disclosures/)

** Ample Nutrition **

It’s available in both 400- and 600-calorie bottles. The following information is for the 600-calories.

Calories: 600
Protein: 36g
Fat: 35g (15g saturated)
Carbs: 35g (14g fiber, 6g sugar)

Cholesterol: 15% RDI
Sodium: 26% RDI
Calcium: 25% RDI
Vitamin D: 25% RDI
Magnesium: 25% RDI
Iron: 8% RDI

SEE WHERE AMPLE LANDED ON OUR LIST OF THE BEST MEAL REPLACEMENTS ONLINE: https://barbend.com/best-meal-replacement/

** Ample Ingredients **

Protein: grass-fed whey concentrate, pea protein, grass-fed hydrolyzed collagen protein.
Fats: Coconut oil, high oleic sunflower oil, macadamia nut oil
Carbohydrates: Sweet potato powder, whole grain oat powder, tapioca dextrin, organic psyllium husk, chicory root fiber, acacia fiber
Probiotics: 40 billion CFUs from six strains: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus paracasei, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium infantis, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bacillus coagulans.
Fruits and Veggies: Zuvii™ green banana powder, organic wheatgrass, organic barley grass, organic chlorella
Flavorings: dried honey, lemon juice powder, cinnamon, sea salt, natural flavor, monk fruit extract, stevia extract
Micronutrients: Potassium carbonate, calcium citrate, magnesium citrate, cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3)

** Ample Benefits **

One of the best things about Ample is the calories: too many meal replacements clock in at 150 calories with next to no fat or carbs and call themselves a replacement for a meal. Ample, with options for 400 or 600 calories, comes a lot closer to that mark than many competitors and with a very nice, even balance of protein, carbs, and fat, it’s actually filling as well.

The Omega-3s and antioxidants aren’t quantified, but the ingredients nonetheless suggest a product that’s relatively low in Omega-6 and high in antioxidants. The real standout is the probiotic bacteria: they’ve been linked with reduced inflammation, better immunity, and maybe even lower anxiety.

Ample’s newest formulation has added nutrients: Vitamin D, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. These are nutrients that can be tough to get even when consuming a well balanced diet, so I was happy to see them added in.

** Ample Taste **

The cinnamon, coconut oil, and macadamia oil make for a shake that tastes quite a bit like a liquid shortbread cookie. While the fact that it’s naturally flavored had us wondering if it would taste any good, the relatively high fat content meant that it still turned out delicious.

** Ample Price **

600 calorie bottles are between and per bottle, the 400-calorie bottles are between and each.

But the price decreases when you subscribe, plus you can get a discount in our written review.

** Ample Pros & Cons **

Pros
Good balance of fat, protein, carbs, and fiber
Contains probiotic bacteria
May provide antioxidants
No artificial ingredients
Decent source of Vitamin D, magnesium, calcium, sodium

Cons
Pricy
Not a great source of vitamins
No mention of Omega-3 fatty acids
Antioxidants not quantified
Video Rating: / 5

What has more sugar? Coconut water or CocaCola? Be careful in your dieting decisions! Don’t drink all the sugar in coconut water! Ferment it first and make yourself a delicious probiotic beverage instead!
