🧡It’s persimmon season - let’s celebrate!🧡Fruits like apples and pears receive most of the limelight during the fall and winter seasons, while persimmons get left in their tiny, little shadows. So, I say it’s about time we give these beauties a well-deserved shoutout!📣 Native to East Asia, persimmons are a type of fruit (technically a berry!) that have a luscious, honey-like flavour when ripe. They come in many varieties, but the two most common include the Fuyu and Hachiya species, both of which are now grown in North America.Fuyu persimmons are short and round, looking an awful lot like a squat, orange tomato. They are sweet in flavour and bake well in desserts. Hachiyas are taller, taking on an acorn shape and darker color. They are much more astringent and best consumed when completely ripe and even a tad mushy, otherwise, pucker up - you’ll be in for an unpleasant surprise🫢You may see them popping up in grocery stores or your local market starting late September through February.When shopping, look for fruits that are free of squishy spots and instead, feel firm and heavy for their size. 🥄A popular way to eat a persimmon is to slice it in half and scoop out the flesh! But, the skins are totally edible. Whether you scoop, or slice and dice it, persimmons make for a delicious salad topping, baked into desserts, caramelized and placed over pancakes / waffles, pureed into a jam, or enjoyed alone as a snack. The ideas are limitless!Persimmons are packed with soluble fibre and are an excellent source of vitamins A, Bs, and C. If you’re up for eating the skins, you’ll get an extra dose of lutein which is incredibly supportive for your eye health. To receive the most nutrition these sweeties offer, it is best to eat them raw. But please don’t let that stop you from enjoying a cooked persimmon, your body will thank you🙏If you'd like to learn more about persimmons and other delicious foods, I'll be sharing recipes and more inside My New Roots Grow - link in bio🧡#mynewroots #persimmon #persimmons #seasonalfruit #foodwithfibre #holistichealth #holisticnutritionist

🍳🥦What I Eat in a Day🍲🍫 I’ve never

🍳🥦What I Eat in a Day🍲🍫I’ve never done one of these before because I wasn’t sure it would be helpful to anyone - we’re all so different and there are so many circumstances that influence our appetites and bodies. BUT, many of you have been asking for this, especially since I’ve been incorporating more animal foods into my diet, and I understand that you’re curious!😄I’d love to qualify a couple things about the video:First, this is just one day in my life, and it does not necessarily represent what other days look like (although I tried to find a happy medium here). For instance, there isn’t any fruit featured, which is unusual for me. This time of year (deep winter) I often enjoy citrus, pears, apples, persimmons etc, depending on how I’m feeling. I also didn’t include any beverages, but I keep things pretty simple between water and tea / infusions. Second, I do not count calories, grams of protein, fat, or carbohydrates (“macros”). I eat pretty intuitively, and seasonally, respecting my hunger signals and cravings. Eating for me is an act of of consciously fuelling my body, with pleasure and celebration💞❤️All that said, I hope you enjoy this window into my day. Almost all of the recipes can be found on my membership site, My New Roots Grow (link in bio). Wishing you a delicious one out there!😋.....#mynewroots #whatieatinaday #whatieattoday #holisticnutrition #holisticnutritionist xo, Sarah B

A love letter to winter and water and ice 🙏❄️💧🧊 So grateful for the breathtaking beauty that surrounds me, and the magic of this season!✨

Happy Winter Solstice✨🌑❄️🕯️❄️🌑✨Dear ones, today in the Northern Hemisphere, we celebrate the shortest day and longest night of the year. Winter is the quiet season. It’s dark, withdrawn, deep in the earth, sleeping to prepare for the amount of energy needed for waking up in spring again. As nature goes inward, so do we, into the yin energy of this potentially restorative time. 💧In Chinese medicine, winter is related to the element of water. Water is present anywhere there is life; the circulatory system of the earth, moving and changing its form, inspiring us to be flexible, adapt to change.🫘The organs ruled by winter and water are the kidneys and bladder. Kidneys control the life force in the body, storing our vitality and responsible for our longevity. Our bladders are considered to be the seat, or storehouse of our emotions. If either of these organs are not functioning well, the entire system is stressed. Keep the kidneys and bladder supported by warmth, quiet, and the deep yin principle of rest.🍲Enjoy warming, nutrient dense, protein-rich, and fatty foods at this time of year. Using salty and bitter flavours help support the descent of qi downward and inward to the kidneys, promoting the elimination of fluids, at the same time keeping tissues hydrated. Incorporating the bitter flavour helps to balance out the warming foods during the cold months. 🥕🍠Now is the time to focus on foods and recipes that require longer cooking times, like roasted root veggies (carrots, turnips, onions, sweet potatoes, beets, celeriac etc.) are best suited to reflect the season. Garlic and ginger can be added to many dishes to boost flavours and nutrition. Cayenne can be used to increase circulation and body heat.🌊Ocean foods keep us connected to the water element, like sea vegetables (kelp, dulse, nori), fish and shellfish. Miso and tamari are salty, fermented soy foods that support the kidneys and bladder.🕯️I’m signing off for the year at this time, retreating into my own quiet space. I wish you all the most beautiful holiday, and offer my blessings as we head into 2023. Loving you so,Sarah B🤍
