The big green! Fresh broccoli, zucchini, garlic, onions & frozen peas. Absolutely delicious mixed with a plant-based alfredo, mac & cheese, pesto for the ultimate big green bowl.

The first bit of good news is, they’re packed full of antioxidants! Yay!

Green vegetables are rich in vitamin A: good for building your body’s natural defences, vitamin C for healthy skin and bones and vitamin K to help your body heal itself quickly when necessary. These beautiful green veggies are also rich in potassium and iron. Overall great support for the immune system, and who doesn't need a little more of that in these stressful times.

Green veg are a great source of minerals!

Green leafy vegetables, particularly spinach, are known for being high in magnesium. Magnesium is a mineral necessary for maintaining muscle health, as well as bone formation helping the absorption of calcium.

Green veg like any other colour ate a great source of fibre!

Greens are a brilliant source of natural fibre, aiding digestion and slowing the rate at which your body absorbs sugar. This prevents sharp rises in blood glucose.

Who is excited for fresh summer green?!?!?

Colour Benefits

The glass noodle took on a pinkish tone from the anthocyanins in the purple cabbage💜

Many purple foods contain anthocyanins, the pigment in most purple coloured foods. 

All brightly coloured fruit and vegetables contain antioxidants; the compounds that play a key role in protecting our bodies from oxidative stress and free radicals but many naturally purple-coloured foods contain a certain antioxidant called anthocyanin.

These are beneficial plant pigments which give fruit and veg their deep red, purple or blue hues. Research has linked anthocyanins to a wide variety of health benefits including increased longevity, cardiovascular health, cancer prevention and dementia.


A larger group of 93,600 healthy women from the Nurses’ Health Study II was followed for 18 years; a high intake of anthocyanins was associated with a significant reduction in the risk of myocardial infarction. Specifically, those consuming more than three servings per week had a 34% lower risk compared with those who did not consume those amounts.
​

There are so many tasty foods that include these precious pigments, try blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, even strawberries, purple sweet potato, and one of my favs, purple cabbage. Mix it up and enjoy the benefits💜💜💜

    I wanted a venue to share my thoughts on what I have learned and lived  in life. 

Wild Seed Holistic Health respectfully acknowledges that we work, live & play in the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet), and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1726. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq and Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet) title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.
