Searchfest 2014: Your Guide to Eating & Drinking in Portland
SEMpdx’s Searchfest is right around the corner and WebRanking is excited to play a role in what we consider to be the best one day digital marketing conference anywhere. Our founder Tony Svoboda is on the SEMpdx’s board of directors, while our CEO James Svoboda will be speaking at Searchfest for the first time.
So, you might ask, what is WebRanking’s most tenured non-Svoboda contributing this year to make Searchfest awesome?
Glad you asked.
Every year without fail I seem to be one of the go to guys people look towards when it comes to recommendations on where they should eat and drink in a town filled with beer, food carts, locally sourced foods and James Beard award winning chefs.
It could be my 7 straight years of being a PDX Yelp elite, but more likely has to do with my insatiable desire for great beer and food (yes, in that order). Don’t believe me? I have the belly to prove it.
So without further ado, I’m happy to present you with my list of places to seriously get your eat and drink on, with most located reasonably close to the Governor Hotel.
Let’s start off with my true love. Beer.
Almost every Portland restaurant and bar is going to offer at least a couple fantastic local beers for you to try. This is Beervana, and our great city has more breweries per capita than any other city in the world.
Given the option, brews from local breweries like Laurelwood, Gigantic, Breakside, Ninkasi, Fort George, Boneyard and Hopworks are always a sure bet.
But if you are looking to geek out with fellow beer snobs and sample from 24 constantly rotating taps, look no farther than Bailey’s Taproom. As their goal is to offer the most eclectic selections of beer around, you are sure to find something that matches your
A few additional places to get a pint include Rogue Distillery and Public House, Henry’s Tavern, Deschutes Brewery, Bridgeport Brewing Company
Portland’s Famous Chefs
Andy Ricker is a James Beard award winning chef and Pok Pok is the restaurant that put Portland’s food scene on the map. While this is only one of two recommendation that is across the river and not within walking distance of the Governor Hotel, the authentic Thai cuisine is worth the price of a cab fare. And if you do go, you’ve got to try their amazing fish sauce chicken wings, which were just named by Thrillist as one of America’s most iconic foods.
While getting a table at James Beard award winning chef Gabriel Rucker’s Le Pigeon can be an extremely difficult thing to do (hint: go early and sit at the chef’s table), you can always try Rucker’s Little Bird to get your fix of his imaginative French cuisine. I’ve personally had one of the most amazing meals ever at Le Pigeon (our other recommendation across the river) and highly recommend it if you are looking to be impressed and dine at one of the best restaurants in the good old US of A.
John Gorman might not have a James Beard award on his resume, but he is responsible for 3 of my favorite restaurants in Portland. For our Searchfest recommendation, you won’t find a closer or better choice than his year old Tasty N Alder. Last year I took some colleagues here and everybody raved about the food. Take a big group and plan on sharing multiple dishes with your table.
Food & Drink (Places known for their cocktails and food)
Clyde Common is a European style tavern which offers delicious food and some seriously fantastic cocktails. Plus they have a very impressive list of whiskey and always some good local beers on tap. The open dining room lends itself to a boisterous casual setting perfect for your group of search marketers.
Andina showcases some of the best local ingredients fused with popular dishes found from the coast of the Andes throughout Peru. This is a great place to go with a large group so you can order and share from a wide selection of their amazing Peruvian inspired tapas. They also feature some mouthwatering main courses and a great selection of cocktails and wine. I’ve eaten here several times in the past with just my wife for our anniversary and with large parties for birthday celebrations. Make sure to try one of their four types of cebiche, a signature dish of Andina’s.
Davis Street Tavern was the last minute destination last year for our large group of SEMpdx’ers before hitting up the Searchfest After Party. They offer modern American dining in a historic Portland landmark building. If you are looking for excellent food and drinks, you can’t go wrong with Davis Street Tavern.
Seriously Good Eats
Back in 2010, GQ named Gruner one of the 10 Best New Restaurants in America. I’ve eaten here a few times and have never been disappointed. As their website states, “Gruner is cozy alpine cuisine”. Think old world comfort meets new world sophistication.
Grassa is known for its handmade pastas and casual setting. There is usually stoner rock playing on the turntables, but as their website states, no you can’t get a tattoo here. Not that you would want to as you will be kept plenty busy choosing between the fabulous Radiatore, Squid Ink Fettuccini or the mouthwatering Carbonara.
I’ve not personally eaten (yet) at Racion but everybody I’ve talked to who has insists that you must try their tasting menu. The restaurant is divided into an open kitchen bar (first of its kind in Portland) and a lounge. The food is modern Spanish, and if you enjoy the art, preparation and presentation of a meal, you will certainly want to give Racion a visit.
Casual and Quick Eats
Lardo started out as a food cart, but now has two brick and mortar locations. This sandwich shop not only boasts some of the most delicious sandwiches Portland has to offer, but also 12 taps of mostly local beers.
Cheryl’s on 12th offers a little bit of everything as it is a restaurant, bakery and market. For dining in they offer breakfast, lunch, morsels and supper specializing in New American cuisine. Their expansive menu offers everything including soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps, salads, burgers, meatloaf, steak, omelets, scrambles and their famous Portuguese Fried Rice. Cheryl’s really is the place to go if you want a wide selection and great food.
Boxer Ramen. This isn’t the “top” ramen you survived on during those poor years living in a college dorm (although truth be known I still on occasion eat that stuff…). No, this is the real deal. And while my favorite Ramen place in town is Boke Bowl, I’ve heard some nice things about Boxer Ramen, the newest addition to the Ramen revival here in Portland. Note that this place is cash only so bring those dolla, dolla billz, y’all.
Little Big Burger offers exactly that…little burgers with a big burger taste. Or as Jules Winnfield says, “Mmm-mmmm. That’s one tasty burger”. LBB keeps the menu simple by offering a limited menu focused on burgers, cheese burgers, veggie burgers, fries and root beer floats. Reminds me of how In-n-Out likes to roll. Focus on a few items and do it well.
Best Food Carts
Portland is known for its food carts, and right across the street from the Governor you will find several options. If you are having trouble picking one,
here are some of my personal favorites:
Nong’s Khao Man Gai is a one trick pony, but that pony does one hell of a trick. When you go to Nong’s Khao Man Gai you will be getting….yep, Khao Man Gai. Just what is Khao
Man Gai? Chicken and Rice. Or from their menu, “Poached, organic chicken with rice simmer in chicken stock and Thai herbs, served with sauce of fermented soybeans, ginger, garlic, Thai chilies, vinegar, house made syrup and soy sauce. Garnished with cucumbers and cilantro, and accompanied by a light soup. Nong’s is open Monday thru Friday from 10am to 4pm.
808 is the area code for Hawaii, a place known for its warm weather, sandy beaches and love of Spam. And while you can find Spam Musabi and the required side of macaroni salad with every plate, 808 Grinds also offers some fantastic Hawaiian inspired food. You can’t go wrong with both the shoyu chicken and the 808 fried chicken.
If you are like Tony Bourdain and love all things pork, then get your little piggy self over to the People’s Pig. Yes, as the name suggests this isn’t a place to take your vegan friends, because they are all about the pork. This is certainly one of the top carts in town and a great way to experience what Portland’s food cart scene is all about. I highly recommend the porchetta sandwich.
For Those Serious About Their Whiskey
Multnomah Whiskey Library is Portland’s newest attraction, which is why some people have willing waited over 2 hours just to get in. What is the fascination with the place? To start they have an extensive selection of whiskey and other libations. Next, the setting certainly reminds one of a library; definitely an old money feel to this place without being stuffy or intimidating. Finally, the servers don’t prepare the drinks behind the bar, but in front of you at your table.
Tips for getting in? Don’t go on weekends. Go early or go late. You can show up early, get your name in and then go next door to Kask or Tasty N Alder for a warm up cocktail while you wait. They will call your cell phone when your seat is available.
Best Happy Hour
In Portland you will find that most restaurants and bars have some amazing Happy Hour menus. And happy hour doesn’t mean just getting a buck or two off of your drink; happy hour is typically a meal all unto itself. So while some of our other recommendations like the Davis Street Tavern and Andina have great happy hours, here are some additional places to get some great food at really low prices.
My wife and I stopped by The Ringside Fish House for happy hour a few weeks ago and we were both impressed. Now, if you are planning to go, make sure you get there early. The happy hour menu is only available in the bar area and while it accommodates many, it fills up fast. However, they are used to being busy and despite how crowded it was on my last visit, we had our drinks and first round of food within 10 minutes of being seated.
Yes Ruth’s Chris is a chain restaurant (that’s actually considered a bad word here in Portland) but almost everybody I’ve talked to when doing my research for this post recommended them for their happy hour. So if you don’t need something distinctively Portland, this is a great option for happy hour.
I’ve got to be honest in saying that I really don’t know a lot about the Red Star Tavern and looking at the reviews on Yelp they seem to be very mixed. However, the one thing I have heard about is their happy hour menu. So while I wouldn’t necessarily recommend them as a place for dinner, if you are hankering for some cheap eats, this might be the place for you.
Something for Your Sweet Tooth
If you are craving something sweet don’t give in to the hype known as Voodoo Donuts. The line is long and the donuts are just ok. Instead try one of these great options for something to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Blue Star is the more delicious gourmet version of Voodoo, offering a wide selection of unique donuts made from a classic brioche recipe that originated in the south of France. With flavors like Blue Berry Bourbon Basil, Pistachio Cheesecake with Raspberry Hibiscus glaze and Bacon Maple, you will most likely enjoy a donut experience unlike anything you’ve had before.
Ruby Jewel’s owner started selling her homemade ice cream sandwiches out of a cooler at Portland farmers markets. Today you can find their ice cream sandwiches in stores across the country. Using local ingredients, every flavor is carefully hand crafted daily. Go in for a cone, or have them make you a custom ice cream sandwich on the spot.
So there you have it…my recommendations for where you should get your eat and drink on while attending this year’s Searchfest. Oh and if you need any other recommendations, just look for me, I’m the guy with a beard and beer belly …oh wait, that describes 50% of Portland’s men, so just hit me up on Twitter @twistedlister instead.
Cheers and happy eating!ADD COMMENT


Akash, has a dream. That dream is to find a way to make sure everyone on this earth gets food inside their belly.

I just noticed recently that my black eye from the TSL show is showing now... lame.
I worked most all of the day today. After work, I went to the gym with Ryan. Then, to offset any good I did at the gym, I met Katie and Erynne to make fondue. We cooked up some cheese first and dipped bread, mushrooms, hot dogs and broccoli in it. It was pretty good, but we still need to learn how to use the burner properly. We took a break from eating and watched some Arrested Development before heading back to the kitchen to melt chocolate. We tried different fruits that were all really good in the chocolate. We used what was left and dipped it and put it in the fridge. We'll see how good they are tomorrow. I'm hoping to finish American Gangster now.

We just had Chicken Spaghetti from the Pioneer Woman and it was awesome! I made two of them my last bulk cooking day and it was a perfect freezer meal.

Improper measuring is probably the number one reason recipes fail. Flour is crucial to the structure of baked goods; if you add too much flour your product will be tough and dry. If you use too little flour, your product will collapse when it comes out of the oven and have wet spots and dense layers.Read more
Freezing fresh cherries for later use keeps the sweet taste of summer around. And it's super easy to do—all you need is a freezer. You can eat them straight out of the freezer for a cooling snack on a sweltering summer day. Frozen cherries also work as a natural thickener in smoothies (the same way ice thickens a blended drink). But adding frozen cherries to baked goods might just be the best use of all. For muffins, bread, and pies, frozen cherries provide the same sweetness of fresh and no defrosting is needed. Cherry pie anyone?Read more
When fresh peppers are in season, they're quite inexpensive, so buying the sweet surplus is a great idea. Also, if you have a garden, pepper plants are quite the producers, with a dozen or more peppers per plant. If you find yourself with too many peppers in your kitchen and not enough recipes to use them in but plenty of space in your freezer, the best course of action is to freeze them for later use.Read more

Let’s play a game, okay? Do you remember when you were little and Sesame Street was teaching it’s young viewers to recognize patterns and they would sing songs asking which one was not like the others? Well, this time I want to ask you what do these two jars have in common? Picture me singing – which of these things IS like the other?
Can you see it? Can you figure it out? Are you willing to play? Yes, the lids are white and the contents look pretty. But the real answer is, these are meals in a jar. Amazing meals in a jar. I shared the Overnight Oatmeal with you before and you can see that post here. Paul and I eat this every weekday morning and it gets our day off to a great start.
The other jar is a salad in a jar and Paul and I eat one every weekday for lunch. It is the most incredible concoction that my sister-in-law, Pam, introduced me to. It works so great. When the ingredients are put in the jar, the dressing is put in first and then the other vegetables, chicken, nuts, etc are added on top. The lettuce is added last so it doesn’t touch the dressing, that way it doesn’t get gross and soggy. And when you put it on a plate to eat, it looks like this.
Now I know this isn’t the prettiest picture with lovely dishes, cloth napkin and pretty placemat cause I took this at my desk at work where I only had a paper plate and paper napkin, but isn’t it huge? That little jar made this huge, delicious salad with walnuts, grilled chicken, blueberries, low fat cheese and low fat raspberry vinaigrette dressing. It’s incredible and so filling. The best part is Paul and I take an hour together each Sunday to put together ten of each of these jars and we conveniently have breakfast and lunch for each work day and it makes life so much easier.
Now does anyone know how to make dinner in a jar?Posted by admin | 1 comments

Fancy a Dolly's shortcake or two?
We've been following the gossip about what's new in the world of cake since we set up Cupcake Dolly and seen the rise and rise of cupcakes, the rise and fall of macaroons and now it seems Whoopie pies are all the rage. We've sampled a good few Whoopie pies (for research purposes of course) but have been a little bit disappointed so we've invented our own version. Just as cute and much more yummy (we think anyway)... we present delicious Dolly's Shortcakes, available to order for parties and presents now.

Ridding sugar along with processed foods from your everyday diet is a way to not only reduce weight gain, but it also helps to improve the overall health and condition of your body. When you want to stop eating sugar and reduce the intake of sugar your body is familiar with each day, weaning yourself off can be done with just a few steps. Knowing how to defeat the inevitable cravings is a way for you to make lifestyle changes that are positive and healthy – for both your mind and your body.
The first step is to educate yourself in regards to nutrition and as to how the body processes fats, carbohydrates, alcohols and sugar. Understanding how sugar affects your insulin metabolism and how it contributes to obesity is a way for you to stay motivated on avoiding junk in your diet altogether. Additionally, learning how sugar can slow the body and mind while contributing to feeling sleepy or overtired is another motivator to keep sugar from reaching your pantry shelves.
Weaning Yourself Off
Weaning yourself off of sugar and carbohydrates can be done by slowly reducing the amount of refined sugar you consume each day. Monitoring portion sizes and ensuring you avoid overeating white breads, candy, sodas and other sugar-related snacks will help to reduce your sugar intake naturally. Replace these foods with sugar-free or low-sugar equivalents to avoid cravings.
Quitting Sugars “Cold Turkey”
Although you may have cravings for the first few days of quitting “cold turkey”, doing so is the fastest ways to cut down. Quitting sugars cold turkey is a way for you to begin eating healthier alternatives without dragging on the intake of sugar, but remember that you’re going to need a lot of willpower as sugar cravings can be severe.
Choose A New Diet Or Lifestyle
Consider looking into the Paleolithic and Ketogenic diet lifestyles if you are interested in ridding sugar and junk carbohydrates entirely. If you choose to change your current diet or lifestyle, it is important to talk openly with your current physician to manage your health and blood work accordingly.
Get Creative In The Kitchen
Even when you rid sugars from your diet, you have the option to choose from alternative natural sugars ranging from plant-derived options like stevia to other sugar-free based sweeteners like sucralose or aspartame.
Eat Regularly And Consistently
Even after you have cut sugar out of your everyday diet, it is important to eat consistently and regularly every few hours throughout each day to curb sugar cravings. Because you may crave sugar and carbohydrates when first reducing them in your diet, be sure to substitute the cravings with nutritious, delicious foods including vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, meats and seafood.
Learning more about sugar and how it affects the body is the best way to begin reducing your sugar intake. The more you know about sugar and the cravings that may come when you stop eating it, the easier it is to face the challenges head on to ensure you stick to any goals you have set in place. Good luck!

From weight loss to better blood sugar control to healthy aging, the benefits of protein are well established.
While you can likely meet your protein needs through your diet, protein powders offer a convenient and easy way to increase your intake.
Many people following low-carb or ketogenic diets turn to protein powders to supplement their diet.
However, choosing the right one to fit your low-carb or keto lifestyle can be challenging due to the countless forms and sources of protein powder.
That said, several types are particularly low in carbs and make superb choices for anyone monitoring their carb intake.
Here are the 7 best low-carb, keto-friendly protein powders.
Whey protein is one of two proteins derived from dairy.
The two main types of whey protein are concentrate and isolate.
During the manufacturing process of whey protein powder, much of the lactose — or milk sugar — is filtered out, leaving a condensed product called whey protein concentrate.
Whey protein concentrate contains 35–80% protein by weight. For instance, a typical scoop of 80% whey protein by weight will contain about 25 grams of protein and 3–4 grams of carbs — and, if flavoring is added, possibly more (2).
Whey protein concentrate is then further processed and filtered to make an even more concentrated product called whey protein isolate, which boasts 90–95% protein by weight (3Trusted Source).
Whey protein isolates have the highest percentage of pure protein and the lowest number of carbs per serving of any whey protein.
For example, one scoop (31 grams) of this product by Isopure contains 0 carbs and 25 grams of protein, and one scoop (30 grams) of this product from NutraBio has just 1 gram of carbs and 25 grams of protein.
SUMMARYWhey protein isolate is the purest form of whey protein you can buy. It contains few — or even zero — carbohydrates per scoop.
Like its whey counterpart, casein powder undergoes processing that extracts carbs and fat, leaving a concentrated source of protein (10).
Casein powders not only offer few carbs and generous amounts of protein but are a good source of calcium, an important mineral your body needs for bone health, muscle contractions and blood clotting (11Trusted Source).
For instance, the products from Dymatize and NutraBio boast 70% of the Daily Value (DV) for calcium per scoop.
Use more water to mix casein powder than you would with whey, as casein tends to thicken when stirred.
SUMMARYCasein is a milk protein that your body digests slowly. Protein powder made from casein provides few carbs and a good amount of calcium.
They’re packed with protein, essential vitamins and minerals and other important nutrients like choline, which is important for proper brain and nervous system functioning (14Trusted Source).
Egg-white protein powders are manufactured by removing the yolks and dehydrating the remaining egg whites, turning them into powder.
Since egg whites naturally hold trivial amounts of carbs and fat, egg-white protein powders are a good option if you’re following a low-carb diet.
MRM makes a quality egg-white protein powder that provides 2 grams of carbs and 23 grams of protein — or the equivalent of six egg whites — per scoop (33 grams).
Some egg protein powders include both the white and yolk — which contains most of the important nutrients in eggs.
This egg-yolk protein powder from KetoThin boasts a good amount of fat — 15 grams — and a moderate amount of protein — 12 grams — with just 1 gram of carbs per scoop (30 grams), making it a perfect keto protein powder.
Egg-yolk protein powders do contain a relatively high amount of cholesterol, which was long thought to raise cholesterol levels in your body and contribute to heart disease (16Trusted Source, 17Trusted Source).
However, research suggests that dietary cholesterol has little to no effect on blood cholesterol levels in most people. Thus, there is no significant link between the cholesterol you eat and your risk of heart disease (18Trusted Source, 19Trusted Source, 20Trusted Source, 21Trusted Source).
SUMMARYEgg protein powder is an excellent choice if you follow a low-carb or keto diet. Egg-white protein powder contains only the protein from the white, whereas whole-egg protein powder includes the white alongside the yolk.
Collagen is the most common structural protein in your body. It’s primarily found in your hair, skin, nails, bones, ligaments and tendons (22Trusted Source).
Collagen’s unique composition of amino acids gives it many purported health benefits, such as promoting body composition in older adults, as well as healthy skin and joints (23Trusted Source, 24Trusted Source, 25Trusted Source).
Collagen protein powder, also called collagen peptides, is made from animal byproducts — usually cowhide, cow bones, chicken bones, eggshell membranes and fish scales.
Most available collagen protein powders are tasteless and unflavored, making them great to stir into soups or drinks like coffee.
What’s more, they’re naturally carb-free.
Vital Proteins makes a beef collagen product that contains 0 carbs and 17 grams of protein for every two scoops (20 grams), while Sports Research offers a similar product with 0 carbs and 10 grams of protein per scoop (11 grams).
Many flavored collagen protein powders are fortified with medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are fats found in foods like coconut oil.
MCTs are easily digested and absorbed, providing your body with an alternative source of fuel — particularly when you severely restrict carbs, as with the keto diet (27Trusted Source).
For instance, one scoop (17 grams) of this product by Perfect Keto offers 1 gram of carbs, 10 grams of protein and 4 grams of fat from MCTs.
SUMMARYCollagen protein powders, which are derived from the connective tissues of animals and fish, may offer unique health benefits. Some are fortified with MCTs, which benefit those following a keto diet.
Soybeans are a type of legume that’s naturally high in protein.
Keep in mind that manufacturers sometimes add sugar and flavorings that can contribute unwanted carbs.
For example, this vanilla-flavored soy protein isolate product by NOW Sports holds 13 grams of carbs and 25 grams of protein per scoop (45 grams).
A better option is this unflavored product by the same company, which has 0 carbs and 20 grams of protein per scoop (24 grams).
SUMMARYBecause it’s naturally high in protein, soy makes for a great protein powder. Unflavored powders have almost no carbs and are packed with protein, though flavored varieties may be higher in carbs due to added sugars and flavorings.
Similar to soy protein isolate, pea protein powder is made by grinding dried peas into a powder and extracting the carbs, leaving an isolated powder.
Manufacturers frequently add sugar — and therefore carbs — to increase palatability.
For example, this flavored pea protein isolate from NOW Sports packs 9 grams of carbs with 24 grams of protein per scoop (44 grams).
On the other hand, one scoop (33 grams) of the unflavored version contains just 1 gram of carbs alongside 24 grams of protein.
SUMMARYPea protein powder, which is very low in carbs, offers you a great protein boost — but watch out for flavored varieties, as these often harbor more carbs.
Rice protein is a popular plant-based protein, particularly because it’s hypoallergenic — meaning it’s unlikely to cause allergic reactions.
Most rice protein powders contain 80% of protein by weight, less than that of soy or pea protein (30Trusted Source).
While rice is particularly rich in carbs, rice protein powder is typically made by treating brown rice with enzymes that cause the carbs to separate from the proteins.
For instance, this chocolate-flavored rice protein powder product from NutriBiotic contains just 2 grams of carbs but 11 grams of protein per heaping tablespoon (16 grams).
The same company also offers a plain rice protein powder with 2 grams of carbs and 12 grams of protein per heaping tablespoon (15 grams).


I’ve been waiting for someone to articulate this thought better than I ever could:
No barista champion, brewer’s cup finalist, supercomputer controlled precision-engineered coffee contraption, or Michelin starred chef is going to add any outsized transcendence to a cup of coffee that you could not also achieve with the same beans and a modest level of meticulousness. Coffee brewing is not like rocket science nor like figure skating.
I think we are doing a disservice to coffee when we make brewing out to be more magical than it is.
He goes on to caveat that espresso is a whole other beast, and I’m inclined to agree– I’ve made crappy espresso using great beans, and seen the change that a second or two longer pour or a slightly different grind or tamping can make in the finished shot. But brewing– whether in a pourover cone, french press, or similar– is pretty much a function of bean quality and time, with wide error margins on the latter.
Personally, I’ve cycled through a few different brewing apparatus and landed on the Clever Coffee Dripper. Add some hot water and ground beans, wait a few minutes, then put it on top of a mug and watch it drip through. All the timing control of a french press, all the convenience of a pourover cone. It’s simple, easy, and dummyproof, just what you need early in the morning when you’re not quite awake yet. I use Philz beans from down the street, grind them in an inexpensive little hand mill, and get a tasty, fresh cup every time.

Here's a great example for you to try at home. It's a totally vegan and sugar-free meringue recipe that I developed from scratch.
Think about it - that's meringue made without any egg whites, and without any sugar! And it's extremely inexpensive to make, as the main ingredient is the liquid that's inside a can of chickpeas - yes, you read that correctly! It's known as 'aquafaba' (literally 'bean water'), and it's rich in fiber. This waste product can be transformed into a fabulous foam that's naturally binding, and can be used in many of my recipes as an egg replacement.
I am grateful to the French chef Joel Roessel and Goose Wohlt for discovering aquafaba, and for cooks who have played hide and seek with this wonderfully playful ingredient in the quest for the perfect no-sugar meringue recipe. The history of my recipe includes Jane Black's New York Times recipe for meringues made with refined sugar, to the many cooks attempting to combine the wonders of aquafaba in various sugar-free combinations.
The problem with aquafaba pavlovas made with refined sugar is that the structure flattens as it bakes. They go into the oven foamy and upright, and come out still delicious and with a great texture, but undeniably flatter, and more cookie-like to the eye if baked as separate meringues instead.
The problem with aquafaba pavlova and meringue recipes that don't use sugar is that the whole mass becomes a blob of disgusting gloop that's inedible...
Many misses went into producing this hit recipe!
This pavlova is stable in shape and texture, remains deliciously sweet, doesn't have any coolness or tainted flavor from the erythritol, has a pleasing texture, is light to the touch, retains its pure white appearance, and has a wonderful pavlova-shaped structure ready for a topping.
As such, my recipe forms the foundation for a number of plant-based, paleo, sugar-free meringue recipes that I've since developed including the medicinal and clean plant ingredients that are at the heart of my food philosophy, such as ashwaganda, reishi, turmeric, raw cacao, and cardamom. I've developed dipped versions, including meringues dipped in my signature raw vegan chocolate, and floral versions that include rose, neroli, and cherry plum blossoms.
I'm currently writing a new cookbook of 40 recipes, and it will include this recipe, but in another delicious variation that's as surprising as the base recipe. Excited that this book will be published in Spring 2018.
For now, it's my honor to share this recipe ahead of my new cookbook, so that the vegan community and wider plant-based, clean eating and molecular foodies can enjoy this wonderful discovery, developed as with all recipes since the beginning of time, using knowledge contributed throughout the ages.
Plants contain knowledge. Longue vie au pois chiche!
Vegan sugar-free Pavlova & Meringues
by Ysanne Spevack, The Conscious Cook
- 2/3 cup unsalted organic aquafaba, i.e. the cooking liquid from a 15oz can of chickpeas
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/4 tsp guar gum
- 1/4 tsp versawhip 600K
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup / 1 1/2 oz / 35g organic erythritol (make sure it's organic), for example, Wholesome Sweeteners brand's Zero.
- 1 tbs organic maple sugar
- Set the oven to 250ºF / 130ºC / Gas Mark 1/2
- Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment or a silicon mat
- In a medium bowl, beat the aquafaba, cream of tartar, guar gum, versawhip and almond extract using an electric whisk on the highest setting
- Keep beating until the mixture is whipped to stiff glossy peaks, about five minutes
- Sift the cornstarch, erythritol and maple sugar into a small bowl, and mix together
- Slowly add the sweetener starch mixture one tablespoon at a time into the foam, still beating on high with the electric whisk
- After about one more minute, the ingredients will be combined, and the foam will be very stiff
- As a note - unlike egg whites, it's impossible to over-beat the aquafaba so don't hold back from whisking!
- Transfer half of the foam to the baking sheet, stacked as low in footprint surface area and as high as possible.
- Use a silicon spatula to transfer the rest of the foam into a piping bag with a large open star tip, e.g. Wilton 1M
- Transfer to the oven
- Bake for 2 hours at this setting, then turn down the heat to 200ºF / 100ºC / Gas Mark 1/4 and leave to finish drying for at another hour
- Leave to cool in the warm oven for another 1-2 hours
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately with whipped coconut créme and macerated strawberries, noting that it will start to moisten, so needs to be enjoyed immediately after it's topped and ready to serve

Major: Tourism & Travel
Bonn University, Spring 2018
I haven’t written all that much about my host city since getting here. Partly because I wanted to wait until I had been here for a while so I really know how it feels. The first few weeks, or even the first month, of your study abroad can make it hard to decide how you actually feel because you’re still building your new life. Now that I’ve established something, I want to share my favorite food places in Bonn. While I’ve been craving a lot of American foods lately, that doesn’t mean I don’t love the food here.
I’m going to start with my favorite coffee place – Cream Company. It’s the closest I’ve been able to find to Biggby since I’ve been here, and it’s really good. Coffee most places you go will be good, but they’re not specialty like you would get back home. It’s usually a regular cappuccino or macchiato. No special flavors, no iced options. But Cream Company has some of the best specialty coffee I’ve tasted. They also serve gelato and waffles.
Rocco is an Italian restaurant across the street from Cream Company. I’ve eaten a lot of pasta in Europe, and this is by far one of my favorite places. I haven’t been to Italy yet, but my friend has and she swears that Rocco has better pasta than Italy does. You have to at least try it once. (They also have burgers, and while I haven’t tried them, they do look amazing if you’re ever craving something more American.)
La Loca is a Spanish restaurant not from the Poppelsdorf Schloss with a ton of cheap tapas. My friends and I go here and order two tapas each and split them and it’s so good! They have the best homemade cheese sauces I’ve ever eaten. They also give you free bread refills if you order the three sauce and bread tapa.
Ichiban Sushibar is one of my favorites for sushi here. It is a little on the pricey side, but I think the taste is worth the price. It’s right beside the main building of the school, so it’s a good place to go after class. I would also recommend trying sushi at most places over here – I think it’s usually a lot better than the sushi back at home.
The last place I’m going to recommend is Mandu. Also very close to the main building of the school, Mandu has both ramen and sushi. I haven’t tried the sushi yet, but the ramen is so good here, and it’s really cheap. Mandu is a must.


Dessert is one of the most important parts of any event. Here are some options that you should consider.
A traditional wedding cake always stands as a beautiful staple at receptions, but you may be wanting to do something untraditional. It's your wedding day and you get to enjoy it the way you want to! If you decide to choose something other than cake, but really want to have the cake cutting ceremony, you can always have a small cake made for the just the two of you. Below we've got seven great dessert options that you can ponder over, and even taste test, when deciding what dessert you want at your wedding reception.
Donut bars have become a favorite at receptions. Some donut bars have even become fun backdrops for Instagram posts with your wedding hash tag. Keep in mind though, that if you have your donut bar set up before guests arrive, the donuts may be entirely gone by the time you get to your own reception. Be sure to have some measures in place, such as someone designated to inform guests that they are for later, or waiting to place them out until after dinner.
If you're on a budget or creating your own DIY wedding, chocolate fondue with fruit and salty snacks is a great choice. You can also mix it up with white, dark, and milk chocolate options. Depending on what time your wedding is, have the fruit prepared the night before, or early the morning of. A simple tip is to cut strawberries in half creating the appearance of more fruit and helping to save your budget.
Who doesn’t love cake?! We know you’re out there, but we've got this option here for the ones who can't get enough of all the baking shows on the Food Network. Cake can be a traditional choice with some very untraditional flavors. Bakers are great at their craft and love making your dream cake come to life! Whether you want red velvet and white chocolate with vanilla butter cream, or key lime pie and lemon curd with a fruit filling, there are endless choices to be made. Your baker will be sure to pair the best flavor options for you in order to deliver a beautiful and flavorful cake on your wedding day.
Cupcakes are a great alternative to cake. While your cake flavor pairing options might be limited, you can ask for cupcakes in all different flavors. A couple things to consider before choosing cupcakes are the number of guests you will have and the flavor options you want. If you have 500 hundred guests, you need 500 cupcakes. You may only want to choose two or three different flavors rather than five or six to keep things simple and watch your budget.
Yes, you can do crepes! They are delicious, filling, and full of variety. Toppings & fillings are exciting and endless! Always have whip cream and chocolate on hand, but some other topping and filling options include cinnamon apples, pumpkin, strawberries, peaches, mango, kiwi, and more! Crepes will need to be made the night before, so whether you have a baker or a friend doing this, make sure you have a head count and let them know what you are planning for.
Candy Bar set ups are adorable and take us back to the 50's and 60's. Pick whatever little candies you want to delight your guests with! You can have dots, red hots, Hershey kisses, sour peach rings, nerds, runts, and more! If you are having an outside wedding, be sure to keep the candy covered so that you don't find any bugs in your candy bag!
MIXED DESSERT TABLE
Can't decide on what to have? Do a mixed dessert table. This way you aren't stressing about the perfect set up, and you and your guests can choose from a variety of options. If there's something that you really want, make sure that someone either sets it aside for you, or that you and your fiancé are dismissed to get desserts first! Some great options are rice krispie treats, chocolate covered strawberries, cake pops, fruit parfaits, and macaroons.
We would love to hear about your untraditional dessert table at your reception, and what your favorite desserts have been at weddings you've attending. Leave a comment and let us know!

Frozen & Microwave
Frozen microwavable foods packing solutions
The fast-paced lifestyle of individuals has enforced them to seek convenient solutions such as microwavable foods, replacing traditional cooked meals. Microwavable foods require minimal preparation time and can be cooked using a conventional microwave oven.
The global microwavable foods market size is expected to grow more than 5% from 2020 to 2031 and the frozen microwavable foods segment dominated the microwavable foods market. These foods provide better nutritional benefits and taste, similar to that of fresh food. Consumers are on a constant lookout for a healthier meal that is easier to cook and tastes better, which is fulfilled by frozen microwavable foods.
Freezing is one of the easiest, quickest, most versatile, and most convenient methods of preserving foods. Properly frozen foods maintain more of their original color, flavor and texture and generally more of their nutrients than foods preserved by other methods.
The main purpose of packaging is to keep food from drying out and to preserve nutritive value, flavor, texture, and color. A good packaging material should have the following characteristics:
- Moisture/vapor-proof or at least moisture resistant.
- Made of food grade material, i.e. designed to be used for food products.
- Durable and leakproof.
- Resistant to oil, grease or water.
- Protect foods from off flavors and odors.
- Easy to fill and seal.
The packaging you select will depend on the type of food to be frozen, personal preference and availability. Let us help you find the right sealing films and machines for your project.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
Demand for online sales of microwavable and frozen foods has increased significantly due to complete lockdown across the globe.
Owing to COVID-19 crisis, many microwavable and frozen foods producing companies increased their production to meet the demand of the customers. Thus, COVID-19 has positively impacted the microwavable foods market.

As Mens Health Month continues throughout June, lets take a look at some more of the foods that fellas should be consuming more of, so that we can stay happy and healthy. Some are more surprising than others, as I’m sure you will agree:
Coffee hasn’t always been considered healthy. Recently, evidence suggests that drinking coffee in moderation (two to four cups a day) helps reduce your risk of an early death. In tests, those who drank more coffee saw the greatest benefits. Coffee has also been associated with a lower risk of gout, cirrhosis, type 2 diabetes, heart attack, and stroke. The World Health Organisation used to consider it to be a carcinogen, but have now decided that it does not cause cancer at all.
Soybeans and Tofu
Foods made from the soybean, including tofu and edamame, provide high quality protein to your diet. It may also help ward off prostate cancer (one study only found this in men who ate tofu). Because of its unsaturated fats, soybeans are also considered a good way to avoid heart disease.
Bananas are jam-packed with potassium, which is great for your bones, and can prevent painful muscle spasms. And if you’ve been diagnosed with prehypertension or high blood pressure, potassium could be as important as reducing your sodium to get your blood pressure numbers down.
Brazil buts are packed full of selenium, and are the greatest food source of it. Selenium plays an important role in your body’s immune system. If you find yourself getting sick frequently, it may help. In addition to fighting off colds, this chemical is necessary for male fertility, so are an important addition to your diet if you want to become a father.
Orange vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes, orange bell peppers, and pumpkins, offer lots of vitamin C, as well as lutein and beta-carotene. These are the nutrients identified in one study as reducing the risk of an enlarged prostate.
The average man should be eating up to 35 grams of fibre a day, according to some estimates. One way to get more into your diet is by eating the whole grains found in nutritious cereals. Avoid the sugary, over-processed breakfast products – rather choose steel-cut oats, muesli, shredded wheat and raisin bran cereals to get the greater benefit.
A personal favourite of mine, eggs are a tasty, low calorie and nutritious way to add protein to your diet. They are also a good source of potassium and lutein, an antioxidant good for skin and vision.
Eggs have about 200mg cholesterol per large egg, which has been suggested can raise cholesterol levels in your blood, but only by about 10%. The more worrisome culprits to clog the arteries are carbs and trans fats. And there are no trans fats in an egg, and only a tiny 0.6g of carbohydrates. Most experts now agree that eating one egg per day is heart-healthy.
Wild or Brown Rice
Brown rice has more protein, fibre, and healthy omega 3 fat than white rice. It also has more B vitamins, calcium, and vitamin K. One study showed that by substituting white rice for brown, you can lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Wild rice is also more nutritious than white. It has fewer calories, more fibre, and more protein. It also has much more zinc and phosphorous, minerals critical for well-functioning nerves and muscles.
All berries are good for your health. They’re loaded with antioxidants, which help your arteries relax and may have anti-aging effects as well. But for men especially, blueberries are king.
Blueberries have lots of vitamin K, which helps your blood clot, and plenty of vitamin C, like most berries. But they also may help prevent or improve erectile dysfunction, a condition that as many as half of all men will experience in their lives.

On Sunday I celebrated my birthday - and since this month's happiness goal is about celebrating here's a little recap! For some reason turning 26 was easier than 25. Last year I was freaking out, feeling old, and worrying what I wanted to be when I grew up. This year we played it low key. My mom flew up on Friday and took me out to dinner. We tried my brother's new menu at BC, and it was delicious. It was the first time my mom and were one-on-one up here in Syracuse. Even though I still am struggling with my health it was reassuring to have my momma around.
Sunday we ventured to Owera Vineyards. All I can say is the vineyard is stunning! We tasted some wine, laughed, and strolled around the grounds. We checked out PF Changs shortly after for some food and I was thrilled to see a gluten free menu!
The evening ended with a homemade gluten free cake baked by my beautiful mom and coupled with local peaches and blueberries. Okay, okay I sneaked a little cool whip to top the cake but a girl's gotta have some fun - am I right?

Naturally, no meal would be total without a rejuvenating drink. It’s the margarita if there’s anything that goes so well with Mexican food. There are a number of variations of this popular drink with different flavors to attempt available at Mexican restaurants near me.
A Popular Dining Option.
Mexican food is not just famous for having unique flavor however likewise for being a healthy option to today’s fatty junk food. Components used for this food are fresh, healthy and have a great deal of range. A single serving of your preferred Mexican food might have beef, chicken, pork, seafood, choose veggies, and other tasty products.

Little by little
So everything is going great. Pretty much just doing the same ol thing. The work of the Lord!
We had this pizza last Monday night that was pretty crazy. It was a deep dish pizza that was stuffed with cheese and sauce and pepperoni. I had two pieces and my stomach started to cramp up during our next 2 lessons. It was horrible. I'm never eating that much pizza again. I think it was all that cheese.
We are still working with Francisca and her mother and son. They are all committed for baptism on the 15th of next month. They haven't been able to be out for church yet because of some issues but hopefully next week. We are really loving working with this family.
Don't know what else to say....good things are coming!

Ah the magical life of a student; perpetually broke and on the brink of starvation! The constant rise in living and food costs does not help the situation much either. That is why I am sure most students will agree that cheap recipes and meal ideas are a high priority; especially ones that don’t taste like cardboard.
Don’t despair as today I thought I would share with you four very simple and cheap recipes that I was originally going to add to my e-book; call it a little gift from me to you since I pity you poor hungry souls so much during exam times. So without further ado, here they are:
Student’s Budget Hotpot
1 can of beans
6 pork sausages
A cup of, or 1 can of peas
1 cup uncooked macaroni
1 packet instant pasta sauce – tomato flavoured
Method: Boil the macaroni until soft/cooked. Slice the pork sausages into rounds and fry in a little oil until cooked through. Prepare the packet pasta sauce as per the instructions on the back of the pack (which is normally adding 250ml boiling water to the powder and stirring for one minute until thick). Then simply open the cans (beans/peas) and mix everything together in a large pot (the cooked sliced sausage rounds, macaroni, beans, peas and sauce).
1 cup grated cheese
1 cup grated polony/baloney
Method: Break the eggs into a mixing bowl, add a little water and mix/whisk. Then pour the eggs into a very hot frying pan that has been thoroughly sprayed with a non-stick agent, or greased with butter/margarine. Put a lid on the pan and let the eggs steam and cook for a few minutes on medium heat. You are basically going to be making an omelette that you will be leaving open; think something in the lines of an egg pizza. Once the ‘omelette’ is cooked, gently lift it out of the pan into a plate. Cover with grated cheese and polony/baloney.
3 cans of tuna (in water)
½ a diced onion
½ cup bread crumb or instant oats
Pepper and salt (to taste)
Method: Mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl, and then form little cakes/patties with your hands. Fry each cake/patty in a little oil (on each side) for about three minutes. Note: You can add any other spices you choose; parsley and oregano compliment the tuna flavour quite nicely.
Cheese and Onion Bread
1 packet white onion soup
2 cups flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
300 ml milk
1 tablespoon vinegar
Method: Mix all the ingredients together, pour into a bread loaf tin/pan and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 25 to 40 minutes (depending on the oven you use).

coffee (all coffee served in The Kasbah is ecological)
In addition we offer ecological teas, sodas, beer, wine and prosecco.
We are trying to keep the price difference between ecological products and other products to a minimum, to encourage our customers to choose ecological.
For health reasons we decided to take off microwaved popcorn from our menu as it was found to contain very harmful substances.
We have also substituted soy milk with almond milk due to the high probability that the soy used to produce the milk is genetically modified (apparently more than 75% of commercial soya globally is now genetically modified).
We will keep this page updated with any ingredients we manage to change to allow full transparency to our conscious customers.


SHOULD MEN COOK FOR THEIR SPOUSES ?
There is nothing wrong with a man fixing a meal for his family either occasionally or often if he so wishes.
Most women love a man with kitchen expertise. They can be quite territorial on matters concerning their kitchen ‘Kingdom’, however they seem exceptional when the person in question is their man.
Women seem to love the idea of seeing their guy in the kitchen; not to fetch a cold drink from the refrigerator or check out a blocked sink, but cooking for her or the all family.
Imagine the aroma of fried eggs and hot coffee served in bed by your man on a lazy Saturday morning, or finding your husband cooking while you were working late at work and serving you dinner while seated on the sofa searching for the channel with the best soap opera.
While women are still spending much time in the kitchen preparing meals for their families, in some homes, Fathers and husbands have also embraced the idea of them fixing meals for their cherished families.
This was however the total opposite of an ideal African man, who was instilled with the mentality of the kitchen being a place for women and women alone. That a man cooking for the family was a taboo and it was considered stooping too low from the realm of manhood. Let alone cooking but the idea of stepping in the kitchen was an abomination in itself.
According to Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni, it is not a Man’s role to cook and that since he married he has never stepped in the kitchen, “It is now 45 years with mama Janet and I have never stepped in the kitchen and that’s the way it should be, “the 74-year-old president told the youth entrepreneurs he met in Kampala.
However, this mentality has changed with the modern man, who views cooking as one of the ways of showing love and appreciation to their families, also it is a gesture for commitment to family time.
There is nothing wrong with a man fixing up meals for his family, either occasionally or often if he so wishes, if anything it unifies the family and strengthens family ties.
It is not to say that gender roles should change completely but men should be willing to embrace the idea of participating in cooking for the family, because it has proven more advantageous than disadvantageous.


Students from Eta Sigma Phi gathered together for a Roman dinner, a cena, to prepare recipes from Apicius' De Re Coquinaria, an ancient Roman cookbook from the 1st century CE. While students were unable to gather some of the more exotic ingredients for dishes, such as flamingo tongue or extinct herbs, they nevertheless collaborated to create modern spins on ancient dishes. The offerings included honeyed bread, custards, Parthian chicken, ancient Roman cheesecake, and even Roman meatballs. After eating together, students voted for their favorite dish and discussed some of their challenges in preparing the dishes, as well as their surprise in how foreign, yet complementary some of the flavors were.

I really believe in celebrating small achievements. I think that finding pride in small actions lead to big changes or accomplishments. Here are a few small things I’ve achieved lately:
**Incorporating more veggies into my daily diet. If I don’t make a conscious effort to eat more vegetables daily, I can go days without them. Lately, I’ve been drinking more green smoothies, adding tomatoes and avocados to my egg sandwiches, and even made kale chips the other night for dinner.
I seasoned them with olive oil spray, nutritional yeast, and garlic salt and baked them at 400 degrees for 8 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
One day, I sautéed spinach and tomatoes and topped the mixture with goat cheese. That was an easy way to make sure I was getting a good amount of vegetables in.
And I can’t get enough avocados lately. I love them on…everything.
**Eating at home—Nick and I have really been good lately at not eating out. When we lived in our apartment, we ate out at least 2-3 times a week, if not more. Now, we rarely ever eat out and it has become the norm. It saves us a lot of money and we enjoy eating home cooked meals. Now, when we do eat out, it is a treat and more enjoyable.
I would love to say working out has been an achievement, but I’ve been so busy lately that I’m physically exhausted 90% of the time. This week, I plan on changing that and making daily activity something I want to achieve. Even if it is something as small as a 15 minute walk, I know I will feel better emotionally if I do it.
What is something small you have achieved lately?

Calling him “a unique rabbi,” CBS Los Angeles is reporting about a senior Rabbi who feeds homeless people in S. Monica.
A unique rabbi has turned Tuesdays in Santa Monica’s Ocean Park into something special for the homeless and needy.
For the past three years, Rabbi Boruch S. Cunin of Chabad House in West Lost Angeles has walked the park, giving food to those in need, and offering encouragement.
“What is so important is for everybody to understand: we are all responsible, one for the other,” Rabbi Cunin said. “You see a person hungry, feed them.”
Well-balanced meals, including foods like salmon, dried fruits, beans, and rice, are prepared at the Chabad House kitchen. Rabbi Cunin then personally delivers to the food to a shelter in Santa Monica and to the homeless on the street.
Rabbi Cunin, who is the director of Chabad of the West Coast, delivers the food to many familiar faces on the street, and offers words of encouragement to the needy, such as “G-d bless you” and “Don’t ever lose hope.’
The preparation of the food is heavily supported by donations.


I always keep a pot of spaghetti on the stove. Oops, I used to love cooking spaghetti and always keeping a pot of it cooked on the stove.
Keeping a cooked pot of food on the stove means I never have to worry about my kids going hungry.
As well as how much of a timesaver it is. Single moms have a ton of responsibilities. The last thing we want to worry about is feeding our kids.
Efficiency is a must.
Back to that pot of cooked spaghetti I used to keep on the stove. Let me say that, their not babies anymore.

We are back with another recipe post and this time it is a regional recipe. A humble dish that tops the ‘must-try’ lists of food enthusiasts when it comes to Kerala cuisine. Paalappam or simply appam is a traditional dish from Kerala. It is a fluffy rice pancake with lacy edges that tastes equally yum with both veg and non-veg side dishes. Traditionally made in a ‘Palappam Chatti’ – a small pan with a dip in the centre, it can also be replicated to an extent in a kadai which has a rounded bottom.

Coffee beans are generally ground and used to make a popular drink called coffee which is consumed by many people. Some coffee drinkers like the distinct taste of coffee. Other coffee drinkers find the drink stimulating and often use it to give them an energy boost in the mornings and throughout the day. The energy boost provided in coffee is caffeine. There are many other products on the market today that coffee users may use as a caffeine substitute for an energy boost. There are also many other products produced that have the same flavor as coffee and can be a substitute for those who are only interested in the distinct taste of coffee.
The coffee bean may be used to deodorize refrigerators, as a mouth freshener, paper dye and bean bag stuffing. The grounds produced from coffee beans can also be used as a hand cleaner, to exfoliate your skin, mix in plant soil, a scrubber for pots and pans, and a dust control in a fireplace. Although coffee beans and grounds may be used for these purposes, there are many more inexspensive products on the market that provide the same service and do a much better job.
There are many inexpensive substitutes that may be used to make a coffee like drink. Some of them are chicory root, almonds, acorns and the seeds of many grains. Tea leaves may also be substituted for a drink like coffee. There was widespread use of inexpensive substitutes throughout Europe and the United States during the second world war because the growing, harvesting and manufacturing of coffee beans became expensive. Over time, people became accustomed to the substitute products. The price elasticity of coffee is high. When the price goes up, demand goes down. When the price of coffee increases and other cheaper substitutes are available, most people will choose the substitute if the substitute produces the same result. This is especially true during economic hard times. When this occurs, the more expensive product becomes a luxury rather than a necessity. The state https://infogra.me/en/infographics/18763 of the economy has a direct effect on determining what items a consumer will consider a luxury and what is a necessity.

we are passionate about promoting optimal health and well-being. In this article, we will delve into the world of foods that can significantly improve blood flow and circulation, helping you enhance your vascular health naturally. Incorporating these nutrient-rich foods into your diet can lead to better circulation, increased energy, and improved overall wellness.
1. Citrus Fruits: The Vitamin C Powerhouse
Citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruits, and lemons are rich in vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that supports healthy blood vessels. Vitamin C plays a crucial role in collagen production, which helps maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, ensuring smooth blood flow.
2. Leafy Greens: A Bounty of Nutrients
Leafy greens like spinach, kale, and Swiss chard are packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamin K and nitrates. Vitamin K aids in blood clotting, preventing excessive bleeding, while nitrates promote vasodilation, widening the blood vessels for improved blood flow.
3. Berries: Tiny Superfoods
Berries, such as blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries, are brimming with antioxidants and flavonoids. These compounds work synergistically to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, benefiting the blood vessels and supporting proper circulation.
4. Fatty Fish: Omega-3 Goodness
Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids. These heart-healthy fats reduce blood clot formation and inflammation, maintaining blood vessel health and promoting efficient blood flow.
5. Nuts and Seeds: Nature's Snack for Circulation
Nuts and seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, and chia seeds, are rich in nutrients like vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant, protecting the blood vessels from damage, while omega-3s contribute to improved blood flow.
6. Beetroot: A Natural Vasodilator
Beetroot is a natural vasodilator, meaning it widens the blood vessels and improves blood flow. It contains nitrates that convert into nitric oxide, a compound that relaxes and dilates the blood vessels, reducing blood pressure and enhancing circulation.
7. Garlic: The Heart-Healthy Herb
Garlic is known for its heart-healthy benefits, including improved circulation. It contains allicin, a compound that helps relax blood vessels and promotes efficient blood flow, supporting overall cardiovascular health.
8. Dark Chocolate: A Sweet Indulgence for Blood Flow
Dark chocolate, in moderation, can benefit blood flow due to its high cocoa content. Cocoa is rich in flavonoids that stimulate the production of nitric oxide, leading to enhanced blood vessel function and improved circulation.
9. Turmeric: The Golden Spice
Turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound that supports cardiovascular health. By reducing inflammation, curcumin contributes to healthy blood vessels and improved blood flow throughout the body.
10. Watermelon: Stay Hydrated for Optimal Circulation
Watermelon is not only a refreshing fruit but also a source of L-citrulline, an amino acid that aids in the production of nitric oxide, promoting vasodilation and better blood flow.
Incorporating these 10 nutrient-rich foods into your diet can lead to significant improvements in blood flow and circulation. Whether it's enjoying a delicious berry smoothie, savoring a heart-healthy piece of dark chocolate, or adding garlic to your favorite dishes, these simple dietary changes can make a remarkable impact on your vascular health.
