Chef tips + Ingredient Swaps + Ideas
SWAP | ADD different nuts and seeds.
STORE MIX in the fridge to keep volatile oils fresh and healthy.
BUY WHOLE SEEDS and grind them yourself, as ground seed oils go rancid quickly if not stored properly; rancid seed oils are inflammatory. This practice will give you more nutritional bang for your bite & buck!
STORE your seeds in the fridge or freezer to maintain freshness and stop volatile oils from going rancid. If you don’t have enough room and have to choose, flaxseeds, hemp and chia I always store in the fridge and freezer, followed by pumpkin and sunflower, depending on space.
