Tip # 999
How many times have you bitten into an apple expecting a luscious juicy and sweet fruit only to be disappointed with a woody, bland and mushy piece of food.
I think this is why a lot of people don’t eat fruit. It is challenging to gain the wisdom needed so you don’t end up throwing your food and your money away.
Renee Oswald gives a wonderful tip in her video. In this video she is cutting up apples for her Carob snowball recipe (which by the way sounds delicious) and I plan to make it soon. Renee says to turn the apple over and look at the bottom. If there are still some green leaves (or remnants of green where the leaves were) you know it’s fresh. If it’s black or molded on the bottom those are old apples. This post was written in fall so apples should be fresh.
Renee’s recipe is high in calcium. The calcium comes from the sesame seeds and the carob (both high in calcium). You get a treat and good nutrition. She uses vanilla powder which is available from: MySpiceSage.com
Here’s Renee’s recipe for Carob Snow Ball Candies.
Soak, sprout and dehydrate your seeds ahead of time. Renee talks about that on another video. Also soak the dates and raisins before you begin so they’ll be ready when you are.
1 cup sunflower seeds (soaked, sprouted and dehydrated)
1/2 cup buckwheat groats (soaked, sprouted and dehydrated)
1/4 sesame seeds (soaked, sprouted and dehydrated)
1/4 cup carob powder (place in before the apples)
1 cup of raisins and 4 large pitted dates (soaked in water for 15 minutes)
4 cored and chopped apples (you can leave the skin on)
Place all in food processor and blend til mixed. Form into balls.
Then roll your balls in some shredded coconut and you’re done.
Alternatively, you could also roll your balls in some crushed walnuts.
