How to eat Chia seeds and Hemp Heart Seeds?
Simply put one spoon seeds in your juice, soup, honey water for about 10 minutes. Drink it after they get soft.
美國近年來, 對大小麥 (麵製品) 過敏的人迅速增加, 不知是否吃了轉基因植物, 和過多添加物的食物成品, 一個個腸胃日益虛弱, 失眠/憂鬱者大量依賴藥物, 糖尿病/大腸癌高居榜首, 自閉症/過動兒比例亦大幅增加.
不像從前農村, 皆原料磨粉, 在家煮食, 反而健康. 因此富人開始尋找粗食, 讓一些穀類種子, 身價倍增.
園中本種有 Quinoa 藜麥 (讀做 King 哇), 是對筋蛋白 (gluten) 過敏的人可以吃的替代食品, 煮起來像小米飯,
名字有麥, 其實是一種穀類, 但它的加工過程繁瑣, 我們費了許多功夫, 才取籽, 洗淨, 去麩, 磨粉, 沒有工具, 無法大量自製
因此最近開始研究奇異子(Chia/Qia seeds) 與漢麻籽 (Hemp Hearts seeds). 一包兩磅裝, 美金 $19. 好貴, 還是自己種吧.
奇異子與漢麻籽營養類似, 但奇異子的種植與收成種子方式, 非常像我們園中大量種植的 Kale (羽衣甘藍菜), 簡單樸實. 連種子都很相像, 類似小號的黑芝麻.
買回試吃的奇異子 Chia seeds 是生的, 即種子本身, 未經加工, 正好用來試種,
就跟生菜寶寶, 一起從臥室兼育種室開始長大.
並與明年留種, 等待陰乾的豆子/瓜類等叔伯阿姨共處一室.
奇異子 Chia seeds, 漢麻籽 Hemp Heart seeds 與亞麻籽 Flax seeds 相異處是:
亞麻籽 Flax seeds 種皮堅硬 (為保存營養), 吃的時候, 必須現磨現吃, 動物的腸胃才能消化吸收營養, 一經接觸空氣, 很快氧化, 因此不能事先大量磨粉裝瓶, 需吃多少, 磨多少, 還得手工磨, 因為機器磨碎過程中的高溫, 會破壞它的養分.
奇異子 Chia Seeds 則可愛多了, 能直接生食, 不必磨碎. 其種子外皮被一層水溶性纖維覆蓋, 加水後能膨脹 12 倍以上, 呈黏稠狀, 會在胃裡形成薄膜, 減緩澱粉化合物的吸收, 讓人有飽食感, 因此亦被稱為減肥者的聖品.
運動員一餐僅需一湯匙奇異子 Chia Seeds, 即夠所需營養和熱量, 也是登山者或戶外求生者的恩物, 少量攜帶, 輕又不佔空間. 車上可以放一些 (當然水要多帶).
(1) 植物性食品裡, 最容易消化的植物蛋白
(2) 含人體需要, 但人類自己不能製造的必須胺基酸, 且含量遠高於雞蛋/肉類/奶製品
(3) 富含 Omega 6 和 Omega 3, 吸收效率高於深海魚油
(4) 豐富的抗氧化劑和飲食纖維, 保護心臟
(5) 由於其特殊膠質, 讓身體慢慢吸收, 而非快速升高血糖, 因此能降低膽固醇, 平衡血糖, 甚至能緩解關節疼痛, 是糖尿病/高血壓/心血管疾病患者的最佳飲食.
(6) 未經基因改造, 生長容易, 不需殺蟲劑, 除草劑或農藥
(7) 高鐵/鈣/鋅/銅/蛋白質與多聚不飽和脂肪酸
(8) 完全不含反式脂肪 (Trans Fat), 無膽固醇/鈉鹽或麥麩 (gluten), 適合食物過敏者, 高血壓, 糖尿病或素食者食用
(9) 豐富的維生素 B1 和葉酸, 是幼兒/孕婦和老人的天然營養品
(10) 比代餐營養, 又能持續提供能量.
奇異子與漢麻子的吃法很簡單, 不必煮, 只要灑在米飯上, 湯裡, 做餅乾時, 和在麵粉裡, 加在沙拉/青菜裡, 牙齒不好的人, 可放入蜂蜜水/豆漿裡, 泡軟10分鐘後喝.
或直接舀一匙放嘴裡, 喝口水, 可以嚼半天, 體驗它化成黏膜的過程, 吃起來像珍珠奶茶裡的珍珠, 也像俗稱的青蛙蛋.
希望明年夏秋能試種成功, 就不必做飯開伙, 每餐吃一湯匙種子即可, 健康又省事, 可以當神仙囉.
Hi! Catherine,
回覆刪除Did you get the chia seeds and hemp heart seeds from Costco? The packages look familiar.
For buying seeds, I am looking at http://www.territorialseed.com/ and https://www.horizonherbs.com/pilot.asp They both locate in Oregon. Do you know which company has better seeds?
Phyllis.
Yes, you can buy the chia seeds in Costco. We start to grow them in our bedroom. Personally, I buy seeds from Territorial when I need to purchase new seeds. They have good reputation. You can request a FREE booklet. 注意種子的編號確實是你要的那種, 最好打電話先問一下, 有時新店員會回答錯誤, 因此還是要自己清楚知道要甚麼, 要不厭其煩, 不怕別人嫌的多問幾次, 她們的種子不便宜, 但可以留種, 不像孟山都的每年要重買, 我們從不買孟山都的種子
回覆刪除Hi! Cathy,
回覆刪除What kind of light did you use to start your seeds in the bedroom? How long did you shin light on the pots with seed?
Phyllis.
Hi! Cathy,
回覆刪除I heard too many horrible stories about Monsanto company. I only buy organic, heirloom, or open-pollenated seeds.
Phyllis.
You can buy the special growing light in any garden store. The lighting time should be same length as outdoor. In other words, if the sun comes out 8am and goes down 5pm, you turn on the light on 8 and turn off at 5pm. Copy what Nature Mother does. Don't confuse those baby plants.
回覆刪除那些燈管是專為植物生長設計的太陽燈, 任何園藝店或農會等店都買得到, 室內光照時間和戶外當時的日出日落時間相同, 如此才不會讓植物寶寶搞亂大自然的秩序, 換句話說,當把寶寶移種暖房或戶外時, 需讓他感覺跟在室內的光照時間長短相同, 否則會讓她迷惑, 搞亂生長秩序
Hi! Cathy,
回覆刪除Thank you for answering my questions. There is a hardware store in town has a closing sale I bought some growing light tubes at half price. I just need to find some light fixtures for them. I am going to germinate the seeds indoor then move them outside this year.
Phyllis.
That is great. How did you find the store had 50% off sale? Did they advertize it or you just walk by? Good job.
回覆刪除Hi! Cathy,
回覆刪除Just read about this article 美國終於承認手術、放化療後癌細胞反而加速擴散 http://blog.xuite.net/chian100/itstime/63336533
This made me want to grow unpolluted food even more.
Phyllis.
Yes, any invasive procedure such as chemotherapy,radiation or surgery is bad for your immune system. It will make your body get weaker and weaker. They can NOT fight for you. Therefore, to eat well and right daily is the most important thing you help your body. My goats even don't eat any vegetable that we bought from super market. They only eat what we grow. They even know those vegetable are not REAL. One of my friends cried after she had one bite of our tomatoes. She said she didn't have this flavor for over 30 years.
回覆刪除是的, 任何侵入式治療: 化療, 放射性治療, 手術, 都會減弱我們的免疫系統, 讓它們逐漸衰弱死亡, 而不能為我們作戰, 尤其放射性治療, 會讓身體的好細胞長期的漸死, 讓你以為不是醫生的建議錯誤 (因為不會在治療過程中死亡),但其實是一種慢性謀殺
回覆刪除我們的羊, 是不吃從超市買回來的蔬菜的, 連她們都知道那些東西是假的, 毫無營養可言, 只是長的像蔬菜而已, 充滿了防腐劑, 生長激素, 農藥, 化肥, 讓從小吃慣天然食物的她們, 一聞便知真假, 就像在珠寶世家長大的孩子, 一眼看得出玻璃和真鑽的差別,無論那做得有多像
回覆刪除有個朋友在咬了一口我們種的大番茄後,竟然當場感動得哭出來, 說她已經超過 30 年沒吃到這個味道了,這才叫番茄,
回覆刪除另一個親戚也在把 500 英畝的地租給大量灑農藥的果農多年後得腦癌, 她就住在果園附近,
不是危言聳聽,但大家像埋頭在沙裡的鴕鳥, 認為這種事情絕不會發生在自己或親友身上, 真的嗎?
難道這 10 多年來急遽上升的癌症患者, 稀有病症, 過動兒, 自閉兒, 學習障礙兒童的數字, 都是捏造出來的嗎?
