Unlocking the Nutritional Excellence of Organic Grass-Fed Beef: A Gateway to Optimal Health

In the realm of wholesome nutrition, the choice between organic grass-fed beef and conventionally raised beef holds profound implications for overall well-being. Let's delve into the benefits of opting for the former and understanding why it stands as a superior choice:

Purity of Nutrition

What is the advantage of organic? Organic grass-fed beef is a nutritional powerhouse, free from the harmful additives found in conventionally raised beef. The cattle graze on pesticide-free, natural pastures, avoiding exposure to synthetic chemicals. 

In the intricate web of agricultural practices, certain pesticides, notably glyphosate, have come under scrutiny for their neurotoxic properties and potential associations with cancer. 

Glyphosate is a pervasive concern. Glyphosate, a widely used herbicide, has become emblematic of the potential risks associated with pesticide exposure. As a key component of many weed-killing formulations, it has found its way into our food supply, raising questions about its impact on human health.

Numerous studies have illuminated the neurotoxic nature of glyphosate. Exposure to this herbicide has been linked to disruptions in neurological functions, potentially contributing to cognitive impairments and other nervous system disorders.

Scientific literature has documented a correlation between glyphosate exposure and an increased risk of certain cancers. Prolonged or intense contact with glyphosate has been associated with higher incidences of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other malignancies.

Mycotoxin-Free Goodness

Conventionally raised cows often consume grains contaminated with mycotoxins (by-products of mold), compromising the quality of their meat. In contrast, organic grass-fed beef offers a mycotoxin-free alternative, ensuring a cleaner source of nutrition.

Mitigation of Inflammation

Scientific studies suggest that the consumption of grass-fed beef can contribute to lower inflammation levels. The natural diet of grass-fed cattle yields meat with a healthier omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio, potentially reducing inflammatory responses in the body. It is not that inflammation is inherently bad, but rather the chronic elevated nature of inflammation that leads to downstream effects.

Antibiotic-Free Assurance

The data is clear - consuming foods that do not contain pharmaceutical drugs, such as antibiotics are better for one's health. Conventionally raised cattle are often administered antibiotics, contributing to concerns about antibiotic resistance and potential health hazards for consumers. Organic grass-fed beef, however, provides an antibiotic-free option, aligning with a commitment to health-conscious choices.

Hormone-Free, Hormonal Harmony

Embrace endocrine wellness with organic grass-fed beef. Hormones administered to conventionally raised cows can disrupt the endocrine system, potentially leading to health issues. Organic grass-fed beef, free from artificial hormones, supports hormonal balance, promoting optimal health.
​​
Enjoy the holistic advantages of organic grass-fed beef, savoring not just the exceptional taste but also the wealth of health benefits it brings to your table. Make an informed choice for a nourished and vibrant life.

Gluten free crackers

12/20/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
4-5 servings
5-10 min. prep time
15-20 min. cook time


  •  1 cup gluten free oats
  • 1 cup filtered H2O
  • ¾ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup chia seeds
  • ½ cup flax seed
  • ½ cup sesame seeds  savory

savory optional additions: 
  • 1-2 sheets of Nori or 1 tsp chlorella and/or spirulina powder
  • ½ tbsp chipotle or cajun spice
  • 2 tsp turmeric 
  • 1-2 tsp cayenne
  • 1 tsp chili flakes pinch Himalayan pink salt pinch of black pepper 

sweet optional additions: 
  • 1 tsp cinnamon 
  • ¼ tsp maca root powder
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 
  2. Grind the GF oats, flax and chia seeds into a fine powder.
  3. Mix all ingredients together in a large pyrex bowl making sure everything is evenly combined. 
  4. Add in sweet or savory flavors here if any desired and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
  5. Once the ingredients have coagulated, split the dough into two proportionate balls.
  6. For each half, use a roller or spatula to spread the dough onto parchment paper or use a pyrex container. If you use a pyrex container lightly oil the bottom so the crackers don’t stick. 
  7. Once both doughs have been spread evenly to your choice of thick or thinness, cut the crackers into the desired shape and size.
  8. Cook for 10-20 minutes. This all depends on the girth of the crackers. Check on them in the first 5 minutes. Rotate to avoid burning and for a consistent cook.
  9. Once they reach a golden brown on the sides remove and allow to finish cooking as they cool down. Enjoy! 

Tips:
  • Not all crackers are created equal! Each batch comes out a little different than the other depending on ingredients. Use your best judgement, start with less water than more in case it comes out too liquidy. 
  • If you do experience too much of a liquid texture simply add more ground GF oats, or add water  if it is too floury.

Holy Guacamole!
4 servings
20 min. prep time 


  • 4 ripe avocados
  • 1 medium heirloom tomato 
  • 1 fresh squeezed lime or lemon
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1-2 fresh minced garlic cloves
  • ¼ cup red onion
  • ½ minced jalapeno 
  • 1 tbsp minced shallot
  • 2 sprigs cilantro
  • ½ tbsp chipotle or cajun spice
  • 2 tsp turmeric 
  • 1-2 tsp cayenne
  • 1 tsp chili flakes pinch himalayan pink salt pinch of black pepper 

optional additions:
  • 1 cup of beans
  • ½ cup local
  • raw goat cheese
  • 1 tbsp of butter
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp cayenne 

  1. In a large bowl mash the ripe avocados together.
  2. Add olive oil, fresh-squeezed lemon or lime and all spices into the avocado mash.
  3. Mince red onion, shallot, garlic, cilantro and chop heirloom tomatoes.  Add to guacamole. 
  4. Mix all the ingredients until desired texture is achieved. 
  5. Adjust flavors as necessary to liking and enjoy!

Tips:
  • Adding chipotle is nice for a smokey flavor, especially if you choose to add in beans. The beans will also enhance a more satiating effect making this a great potluck item leaving everyone satisfied!
  • Butter may sound weird, but it actually taste great! Cut about a tbsp amount of butter and throw it in your guacamole. We use Kerigold unsalted butter if we do this.
  • If you have access to a local, organic and raw source of goat cheese this makes a nice addition. However, due to the scarcity of this circumstance you may choose to add pasteurized cheese if you are dairy-friendly as you’d like.
  • Nutritional yeast makes a great alternative for that zesty, cheesy flavor everyone can enjoy!

2 servings
2-3 day prep time


  • 4 cups filtered water     
  • 2 ½ cups gluten free oat groats, steel cut or rolled oats     
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut shreds     
  • 4 Brazil nuts     
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean or extract     
  • 1 tsp cinnamon or cinnamon chips     
  • ½ tsp Himalayan salt      

topping additions:     
  • 1 cup local, seasonal fruit (if possible)     
  • 2 T nut butter     
  • 1 T raisins     
  • 1 T hemp seeds     
  • 1 T sunflower seeds     
  • 1 T cacao nibz 
 
optional additions:     
  • ⅓ cup local honey, stevia, maple syrup or medjool dates     
  • 1 T cacao powder     
  • 1 tsp maca     
  • ¼ tsp cardamom     
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg

  1. Grind oat groats, steel cut, rolled oats cut oats into flour using a high speed blender, grain mill or food processor.
  2. Soak oat grinds/flour overnight. Be sure to leave a little water for the oats to absorb.
  3. Blend the soaked oats with 4 cups of water and remaining ingredients. Add in any optional additions here. Save the toppings for later.
  4. Add the blended consistency into a large sealable container and cover using a plate, coffee filter or cheesecloth with a rubber band.
  5. Allow oat mixture to ferment in a warm or sunny spot in your home for the next 2-3 days. Depending on sour preference end the process at anytime as long as 12 hours was granted to ferment.
  6. Once ready to eat add in parfait toppings. Enjoy!


Tips:
  • We prefer our yogurt on the sour side. We let it go for 3 days including the first 12 hour soak. It also depends on your climate how fast the process will go and the home you live in.
  • If you’re feeling creative blend in fresh fruit after the fermentation process to give it a specific flavor or simply meal prep your parfaits mixing in frozen or fresh fruit the night before.

5 servings
1.5 hour prep time


  • 3 cups buckwheat groats
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cacao nibs
  • 3 T coconut oil, melted

  1. Set the oven to 260 degree F.
  2. Melt coconut oil and combine with all the ingredients in a bowl. Distribute the oil evenly among all of the ingredients.
  3. Spread out all of the ingredients on a sheet of baking parchment paper and bake for one hour.
  4. Allow granola to cool before storing in a air tight jar or container.

Tips:
  • Fig juice from the fig bar recipe can be reused for this recipe.
  • Excessive amounts of sugar should be avoided. Albeit, sugar helps hold the granola together. We prefer them sugar free. This way they are more like healthy grape nuts.
  • This recipe pairs well with oat milk to create a cereal-like breakfast. Add fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, and nut butter with a dash of cinnamon.
