The healthiest ever – sprouted wheat grains bread – recipe

June 18, 2015 by Sheila Smith

The flourless bread that we present today is as nutritious as other bakery products but also it is rich with protein, vitamins, amino acids, fats, carbohydrates and minerals. Just the content of nutritious fiber is twenty times higher than in the regular bread which we buy in the bakeries.

It stimulates the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin, facilitates the removal of carcinogenic and toxic substances from the body, and excess cholesterol and is recommended in the prevention of diabetes, arteriosclerosis, cellulitis… It’s made from germinated wheat grain, with a minimum of yeast and salt, without additives, preservatives and similar substances, so it is definitely the healthiest option that you can consume when you are on a diet.
All other types of bread are different, especially in that they contain flour low biological values, with properties that the human body practically can not adopt.
Check out the recipe and find out how to make this awesome recipe.

Ingredients:

300g wheat,
100g barley flakes,
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons of flaxseeds
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 yeast + 50ml of water.

Preparation:

Step 1: Cover the wheat grains with water and let sit for three days until it begins to germinate. Change the water periodically.
Step 2: After three days drain the wheat and grind it using a meat grinder or put them in a blender. You’ll get a mass similar to a dough.
Step 3: Add flakes in the dough (barley, oat, etc.). First soak the flakes in warm water, and when drain well when they soften..
Step 4: Add more seeds of your choice (sunflower seeds, flax, sesame) but first fry them shortly in a dry pan.
Step 5: Stir half a teaspoon of fresh yeast with sugar in 50 ml of water. When yeast is ready, add it to the mass for the bread and knead by hand. There is no need to add additional water because the wheat itself is sufficiently moist.
Step 6: Add a tablespoon of salt and put it on a baking pan to rest for about 30 minutes. It is best to use silicone molds, because then there is no need to add any fat. Cover the dough with a damp cloth.

Step 7: Preheat the oven on 220 degrees Celsius. Insert a few ice cubes into the oven in order to create vapor, which will allow the yeast to raise the bread a little more before it dries. Bake the bread for 45-50 min.
Once the bread cools down cover it with a plastic foil and refrigerate. You can distribute it into the daily portions and freeze, and use as needed.

Buckwheat pancakes with mushrooms

May 26, 2015 by Amy Brown

Summer is nearer and nearer and women’s No. 1 enemy will soon be visible. So be wise and start your battle against cellulite today!

Today we show you 4 strange anti-cellulite treatments that really work.

1. Cucumbers – Why should you love cucumbers? They have the ability of hydration and are full of vitamins. If you put a thin slice of cucumber directly on the skin, the phytochemicals from this vegetable will accelerate the secretion of collagen and that will tighten the skin. This may affect the instant improvement of the skin and reduced cellulite visibility.

2.Coffee scrub – Caffeine dilates the blood vessels and veins and thus accelerates the circulation, and in turn, affects a better blood circulation and healthier appearance. If you apply it directly to the skin the scrub will help the removal of toxins and burning fat, so you have multiple benefits of this treatment.

3. Algae bath – Thalassotherapy is a treatment that comes from France and is a combination of hot water and seaweed directly applied on the skin – either in the form of baths or compresses. Algae have high levels of iodine, which promotes the function of the thyroid gland, and local circulation, which affects the reduction of cellulite.

4. Gelatin – gelatin consumption has great health benefits, but also it also has benefits for the beauty and appearance of the skin. Of course, we are referring to the sugar-free gelatin. In the first place gelatin causes an increase in collagen, and therefore tighter skin and better appearance. Gelatin powder can be found in any healthy food store. Simply add it to your favorite drink once a day and it will compensate for the reduced level of collagen which is the main culprit for the appearance of cellulite.
