Chef tips + Ingredient Swaps + Ideas

SWAP | ADD different nuts and seeds.

STORE MIX in the fridge to keep volatile oils fresh and healthful.

BUY WHOLE SEEDS and grind them yourself, as ground seed oils go rancid quickly if not stored properly; rancid seed oils are inflammatory.

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 and hemp are two I always store in the freezer, followed by chia, pumpkin and sunflower, depending on space.
