*****************
How lucky am I? A couple of days back, Justin fromĀ Cheap Super Foods Australia, contacted me, asking me to try some wonderful up and coming raw, organic ingredients from their huge range. As if I could turn down a huge opportunity like that! I know many bloggers, especially Vegan, focusing on all these new foods, so I knew I had plenty of inspiration to start making recipes.
But what are superfoods? Why is using them considered āsuperā but using caster sugar, isnāt? We are not being ingredient-ist here, but the term āsuperfoodsā means that particular ingredient has been classified asĀ āFood with high nutrient andĀ phytochemical content that may confer health benefits. It has few negative properties if any, considering it is highly unprocessed (natural), does not contain contaminants, saturated fats, artificial ingredients or food additives.ā āĀ Wikipedia
When I say āphytochemicalsā, I mean naturally occurring beneficial chemical compounds in plants, such as antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and polyphenol. I used this think anything āorganicā equated in some way, to marijuana and hippie food, tasting like dirt despite any ābenefits.ā Since I started food blogging, I have learnt a heck of a lot about all of it, and am glad to learn that is not the case! š
The wonderful folks fromĀ Cheap Super FoodsĀ sent me three different 250g samples:
- Cacao Powder
- Coconut Sugar
- Chia Seeds
Letās begin making raw, organic, totally delicious desserts shall we?
