Superfoodly — Wed, 22 Mar 2023 16:01:19 +0000

Thousands of foods have allergic reactions associated with them, and in theory, it’s possible for any food to be an allergy candidate. However, the actual part of the food we can potentially be allergic to is the proteins and their pollens. Not all foods have those, or at least not in high concentrations. Can you be allergic to apples? Yes, but since they contain so little protein content, even if you are allergic, it’s unlikely you will have noticeable side […]

John — Thu, 21 Apr 2022 14:21:49 +0000

Salt water has been used to help ease sore or scratchy throats for generations. The salt water helps to wash away the mucus that is lining the throat causing the irritation. Salt water also helps ease inflammation. What the salt water is doing is taking those fluids that are germ-filled and eliminating them. [toc] When you have a sore throat, it is perfectly okay to gargle with the salt water once, twice, or even more often during the day or […]

Superfoodly — Thu, 31 Dec 2020 12:00:49 +0000

[toc]Maybe it’s the wholesome image, unlike the perception of table sugar. Or perhaps it’s because bees make it. Whatever the reason, so many remedies claim that honey is the magic touch needed to work. We have already debunked the garlic and honey scam, which is claimed to help you ward off infections, colds, and even the flu (and NO, it won’t help COVID-19, that’s another myth). Using it for weight loss is another alleged advantage, yet that too is not […]

[toc]Frankincense and myrrh are two things we can’t help but associate with Christmastime. What are they? Aromatic resin gums which are produced by small trees native to the Middle East and northern Africa. The two are different, as each comes from different tree species. Yet they remain closely related, as all are members of the Burseraceae plant family. Most famously, these two natural plant gums, along with gold, are mentioned in the Bible as gifts from the magi.

Coconut Nectar Benefits For Glycemic Index Are Deceptive

Superfoodly — Mon, 30 Nov 2020 12:00:45 +0000

[toc]Several years ago, Dr. Oz featured coconut sugar on his show and said it was “a nutritious natural sweetener” that is “low glycemic.” Now to be clear, he was telling the truth based on the data he had. However since then, major issues have been raised about the old test from the Philippines, that presumably he and everyone else was referencing for their opinion. Using modern and accurate testing, when you compare cane sugar vs. coconut sugar, you discover that […]

[toc]If you’re a millennial or younger, it seems perfectly normal to douse your Chipotle with salsa, and to devour a basket of Buffalo wings during the playoffs. Normal today, yes.

The Scandal Between Vanilla Bean Paste vs. Vanilla Extract

Superfoodly — Fri, 20 Nov 2020 12:00:36 +0000

[toc]Since one pound consists of 75,000 flowers that have to be picked by hand, it’s understandable as to why saffron costs anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000 per pound at retail. The second most expensive spice in the world takes a distant second place. Real Madagascan vanilla bean is “only” $200 or so per pound. For Grade A (7.5″ length) that one pound only yields 75 to 80 beans. Or about $2.50 per bean. That makes the $0.04 per saffron blossom […]
