Found a grape leaves so I made a Kim chi/sourkraut with ginger and carrot.
The grape leaves add tannins (enhances the crunch of pickled foods) and kept the top of the veggies down so they don't float on top of the brine.

Since I was on a #fermentation kick I made some yogurt with coconut milk.

This heat is making things ferment fast!

This weeks #herboftheweek is seasonal fruit and berries. Especially the ones growing close to us. .
.

#foraged and freshly picked #berries and fruit are not only delicious (and at less or no cost), but packed with #antiinflammatory compounds, #antioxidants and #vitamins .
.

Pictured here is a #cherrytree in NE Portland in a local park. I know clean urbanforaged food and you-pick farns are not accessible to everyone, but do take advantage of them if you can.
.
.

The blood vessel supportive properties in berries (especially the low sugar blueberries) can support vascular health in those with #diabetes . So a handful of berries is a great addition to a #healthydiet .

#linden tree is our #herboftheweek
Soothing and easy to find, Linden trees can be found lining some roadways.
This tree was found in #neportland and is actively blooming right now. These flowers make an excellent tea or tincture to help subtly relax the mind, digestion and an irritated throat/respiratory tract. These flowers are mildly skick/slimy, which is part of their tissue soothing abilities. #lindenflower
are a great addition to a #healthyheart formula as well. .

#shitake mushrooms are our #herboftheweek
These edible #mushrooms contain similar #immunesupport compounds. .
.
.
They are more easily accessible than some of the more expensive mushrooms like Reishi, as they are in many grocery store produce departments. .
.
.
Utilizing #medicinalmushrooms (and supplementing with #vitamind ) are some ways to help boost your immune system as we navigate through this #covid19 pandemic. .
.
.

Utilizing #foodasmedicine #herbs is a great way to start building healthier habits without having to worry about buying the latest supplement. Herbs and mushrooms are so complex that it's often more beneficial to use the whole plant rather then a concentration of one constituent.

Oh and don't forget to rest when you can, especially all you beautiful people joining this current BLM cause for justice and a better future. 💚

The root is often used as a #digestive stimulant with mild laxative properties, and for its potent #antimicrobial properties. .

Like the endangered #goldenseal , #oregongraperoot is rich in #berberine , a bright yellow compound. .

Nature walk with lots of wildlife 😊
Beaver, tadpoles, ducks, nutria, heron, fish, possibly a bald eagle (in the treetop on the second to last vid). It makes me happy to see an apparently healthy little eco system. .

Sweet New Year | Stevia, the champion of Natural Sugar Alternatives

Written by Herbalist and Foodie, Tania Hays It’s a new, fresh year and about time to kick our sweet toothed habit. I know, I really do love all kinds of chocolately, whipped, sprinkled and gooey baked good, treats and super sugary coffee drinks. And I am not turning my back on them yet. Treats, in …
