I discovered a new product hiding on the Whole Foods sweetener shelves; Meet Fiji Ginger Syrup by The Ginger People. I figured since it's winter time when colds and flus are at their peak season, what better way to keep warm and keep colds at bay than with a ginger based hot beverage?
The ingredients are extremely simple with Organic Cane Sugar and Organic Ginger. The best part? It does not require refrigeration. I like how simple it is to use. You just open and pour for all the quality goodness of ginger with a touch of sweetness. No need to peel and chop an actual root that can shrivel up if you don't get around to using it in time.
They recommend pouring this over pancakes, waffles, ice creams, as well as adding it to cocktails and fruit.
Not only that but the little ginger character on the front has a name and it's Flapjack Knobs. No, really, that's his name.
If you may recall, the ginger we consume in juices and recipes is a wonderfully warming rhizome widely used for its medicinal properties like aiding in digestion or reducing inflammation. It has even been studied for its effectiveness in treating cancer.
I poured some of this in my morning mug of tea and it was a gentle flavor shot of warm, sweet gingery goodness. I started small and gradually increased the amount I added to my mug as I realized the flavor wasn't intense at all. I mean, the product is pretty much just ginger dissolved in sugar; it's perfect for tea!
Oh, you know what I'm going to try next? I'm going to caramelize some fruit by grilling it- maybe some pineapple, it grills well. And then I'm going to give this gorgeous syrup a drizzle over it and see how that tastes. Now if that isn't a cold busting remedy that is also delicious, I don't know what is. It's a combination that will certainly help give your immune system a kick in the pants, that's for sure.
This would've been good over the grilled peaches I posted a while back too. I'll post each incarnation of recipe I can think of to utilize this simple syrup.
Stay warm, friends.

Lavender Chamomile Tea Latte, with oat milk. Chamomile from my garden (inevitably died in the Phoenix heat). I like to add honey to sweeten it up a bit, but it’s fine without.
🌝😻✨

She'd only been in the Tower for a few days, but already Greer was a little sick of grabbing lunch at Capitol Coffee while the tributes were all eating lunch in their own cafeteria. The lines were long and there were never any open tables that time of day, so Greer walked a block over to grab lunch from Eleven Greens. The menu was only okay, but the service was fast, and the staff was less annoying than most places in the city. Plus, they sold a lemonade with an unhealthy amount of caffeine that she could only get when she was in the Capitol, so it was worth the walk.
Greer sat at a table with her tray of food and looked up to see Alder at his own table nearby. "Hey, you like pickles?" She asked. "They gave me an extra, and I didn't even ask for the first one."

Iron deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency in the world. The good news is that you can get all the iron you need from a vegan diet because there are lots of plant foods containing good amounts of this mineral. Your daily iron intake In the UK, it is recommended that most adults have a dietary iron intake of 8.7mg (milligrams) per day. However, those who menstruate should aim for a higher intake of 14.8mg per day. Sources of iron Good plant sources of iron include lentils, chickpeas, beans, tofu, cashew nuts, chia seeds, ground linseed, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, kale, dried apricots and figs, raisins, quinoa and fortified breakfast cereal. There are lots of factors that affect the amount of iron your body can absorb from your diet. The most important factor is your body’s need for iron: more is absorbed when your body is short of iron, and less is absorbed when your stores are full. Tea, coffee and some substances in plant foods may make it difficult for your body to absorb iron. On the other hand, vitamin C increases iron absorption. Good sources of vitamin C include pepper, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kiwifruit, oranges, strawberries, pineapple, grapefruit and orange juice. #veganiron #iron #veganironsources #naturalremedies #plantsheal #plantbased #naturalremedy #herbalmedicine #alkalinevegan #vegetarian #herbs #healer #food #salad #healthyfood #organic #herb #holistic #holistichealth #holistichealths #naturalherbs #naturopathy #wellness #nutrition #nutritiontips #herbs #healthylifestyle #healing #naturalhealing https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmmi8A3PydI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
