Spotlight on Nuts & Sprouting Seeds & Beans
We are now offering a fantastic range of carefully selected organic nuts, seeds and beans which compliment a natural and healthy, wholefood diet as they are all excellent sources of digestible protein, dietary fibre, minerals, vitamins and the essential fatty acids (EFA's), omegas 3, 6 and 9.
Almonds, Cashews, Brazils and Walnuts can all be integrated into sweet or savoury dishes. Simply sprinkle them over meals such as breakfasts, salads or vegetables, or eat them as a healthy snack. However, have you ever tried making nut milk? It is so easy and can open up a whole new world of tasty delights. Simply add one cup of nuts with two or three cups of water to a blender. Blend thoroughly, then strain through a nut bag to produce creamy, healthy nut milk. You can make delicious milk drinks or powerpacked smoothies by adding a range of superfoods such as acai berry, camu camu, mesquite, maca and cacao powders, Manuka honey and herb powders too. You can even make thick creams and delicious cashew nut ice cream too ... have a read of our ideas and suggestions for each of these nuts in the Food category of our website...
Sprouting seeds and beans are the most nutritious vegetables in the world and can be grown all year round. Sprouting your own seeds and beans will produce small but highly nutritious green shoots and leaves which are a great addition to any meal. They are rich in naturally occuring enzymes which help with the easy digestion and use of nutrients by the body. They are also rich in a wide variety of minerals such as calcium, iron and zinc; vitamin E and many of the B-vitamins. The Salad Sprouter (Plastic Tray) provides the complete kit necessary for sprouting your own seeds and beans at home on your windowsill in the kitchen. It comes with three shelves, a nutritional chart and some Alfalfa seeds to help you get started. The Sproutman's Sprout Chart is a field guide that provides you with everything that you need to know about growing and eating sprouts, at a glance. We offer a range of seeds and beans in our Food category and even some sprouting mixes offering a great variety in one packet...
At Happilyraw, we love to make tasty, nutritious dips using pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds. Use a seed grinder to turn your seeds into a fine powder and then in a bowl, mix with the juice of a freshly squeezed lemon, a drop of aloe vera juice, flax or hemp oil, a pinch of sea salt and a teaspoon of your favourite supergreen powders. Then simply drizzle over your meal or make a thicker dip for crunchy carrot or cucumber sticks. Although not called a 'seed grinder', we can highly recommend the Krups Twin Blade Coffee Mill which we have been using for years to grind up our seeds (available at the bottom of our Books page).
Happilyraw helps you to...
...support a healthy immune function with a fantastic range of relevant herb powders which are a great source of vegetable protein, containing many valuable nutrients specific to your needs. Simply add to dips, smoothies or even when making your own raw chocolates. Great for self-encapsulation too...
...support your bones, muscle tissue, skin, hair and nails with Silicium G5 Silica Liquid and Silicium G5 Silica Gel. Silica is an active ingredient which helps to support general health. As we get older, the natural silica present in our bodies drops and needs to be replenished regularly to help maintain the many natural functions of the body.
...support a healthy immune system with Waiora Zeolite Natural Cellular Defense (NCD), a naturally occuring food supplement. Zeolites are natural volcanic minerals with a unique, complex, cage-like crystalline structure. Their key benefits may include supporting a healthy immune system, facilitating the removal of unwanted particles from the body and balancing body pH.
Have you found these new products...?
Crazy Jack Organic Apricots and Dates are an excellent source of natural fibre and sugars, and nutrients including iron, calcium, phosphorous and vitamin A. They are naturally dark because they have simply been dried by the sun and without using any preservatives which helps to retain their delicious sweet and rich flavours.
Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract Liquid is derived from organically grown garlic. The garlic cloves undergo a unique extraction process to create many beneficial compounds which can be assimilated by the body faster than other forms. It is free from sodium, yeast and dairy products and does not have any garlic odour.
Flax Seed (Linseed) Oil is an excellent source of essential fatty acids (EFA's) which are healthy, 'good fats', such as omega 6 and particularly high in omega 3. It is cold-pressed and produced to ecological standards, free from agro-chemicals. A great additon when making dips for salad and vegetable dishes.
We've added some more recommended reading to the top of our Books page, including 'The Sprouting Book', by Ann Wigmore, which discusses a wide variety of different sprouting seeds and beans, sprouting methods and includes some delicious recipes.
Happilyraw's Healthy Hints
We offer a number of laminated and easy-to-read reference guides and charts in the Accessories category of the Lifestyle page. Have you ever wondered what vitamins and minerals might be missing from your diet? With the Nutritional Awareness Chart, you can check that your diet includes foods from all the finest food sources and those which will provide you with your missing vitamins and minerals. Along with the Sproutman's Spout Chart mentioned above, the Wheatgrass Juice, Green Drink & Sprouts Permachart is packed with specific approaches to green foods like wheatgrass and green drinks as well as a comprehensive reference guide to the cultivation of sprouted seeds and beans.
There are many healthy, naturally sweet ingredients which can be included in your favourite recipes. Mesquite Meal Powder, Lucuma, Carob and Licorice Powder can all be used to sweeten a wide range of desserts, raw chocolates, smoothies, milk drinks, even herbal teas. We love to drink Tulsi Holy Basil Leaf tea with a touch of licorice root powder, mmmmm!
What's been happening at Happilyraw?
In early September, we held our first 'Evening with Happilyraw' down in Devon. It was an inspirational and fun evening, to meet with people and share education with those attending on how to discover easy ways to nourish the body, learning about natural lifestyle choices and how to add more varied and tasty nutrition to your diet. We enjoyed tasters of smoothies, raw chocolate and herbal teas together. We received some great feedback, with many people being inspired and encouraged and keen to share their experience with friends and family.
But it doesn't stop there as you may have seen from the events now listed on our Home Page. On the 24th October we will be in Glastonbury for 'An Afternoon with Happilyraw', sharing the resource developed for you, including an inspiring talk by our creator, Jenny, and giving you the opportunity to meet us, pick up free information leaflets and purchase from our special selection of products. There will be herbal teas to try and raw chocolates to enjoy whilst chatting. We would love to meet you.
