Bountiful Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts sort of look like the baby sister to cabbage. These green beauties are one of our smaller cruciferous vegetables, usually around 2 inches in length, yet they are hearty and filled with nutrients [1]!

These generous gems give us the most amazing ability to break down toxic substances in our system. They are rich in glucosinolates, sulfur, and antioxidants. Each of these components can help jumpstart your liver’s natural detoxification system. 

What’s more, Brussels sprouts come with a great source of potassium. Potassium helps control your blood pressure by balancing any rather high sodium in your system.  In addition, they are also an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin K1 and B vitamins. Let’s not forget that they are also a bountiful source of fiber! I wasn’t kidding when I said this was a nutrient-full dish :).

Tantalizing Tahini

Tahini fills me with excitement and let me tell you why it will do the same for you! First of all, did you know that tahini really is ground up tiny sesame seeds? I didn’t grow up eating tahini, so therefore so I didn’t know this for a long time (!). And it was amazing to learn how important sesame seeds are in Ayurveda, when I started studying it. Sesame seeds are warming and are said to nourish the kidneys and the bladder.

Thanks to tahini’s high protein content, this recipe will fill you with strength and energy. As a huge bonus, tahini is also really high in calcium. Eating plant-based sources of calcium helps to encourage strength and stability through your bones. So don’t be scared to skimp out on my Spicy & Creamy Tahini Dressing. It really helps bring this entire dish together and provides you with amazing health benefits!
