Hello my friends, I hope you are doing well and you are enjoying your summer.
Yes, it’s summer time but what is so special about summer and cooking?
What comes in your mind if you think of summer? For me summer reminds of cucumbers, 🍉,pumpkins and zucchini.
At times we can be having plenty of pumpkins and pumpkin seeds, but can we just throw the seeds away?
I shout a loud, big NO, because these seeds are helpful. Do you know that pumpkin seeds are good iron and protein sources, so if you thinking of fighting against anemia, choose pumpkin seeds.
One day I tried to explain this to someone who was suffering from anemia but he could not understand me, he could not imagine himself eating the seeds, so I tried to roast and he said he did not like them.
I became confused and very disappointed, he said the outer layer is rough, so I said Ok, I will remove the outer Cote, using a hand mixer, I was very successful and I proceeded to roast the seeds and again he said they were not tasting good for him.
I was just speechless but I wanted to restore his healthy through food.
Guess what I did.
I Reached for a ripe pumpkin from our garden, I removed the seed from the pumpkin and I washed them thoroughly. I blended them and they became pulp.
NeXt,
I cooked my soup and added four teaspoon of the seed pulp into the soup. I simmered for a while then I had to serve him. He said, ‘this soup is unusual, I do not know How you did it?’ I was very happy that I had tricked him, so I religiously did this for some time up until I told him , how I was preparing my soup.
He liked the idea and now we do it as long as we have some seeds available .
Plant based diets are supper for our healthy so we need some art to entice consumers to embrace them.
So tomorrow, I will teach you how we use mature zucchini for food.
Until tomorrow
