This title probably sums up how I’ve been feeling lately. But I did want to interrupt your feed to talk all things Bananas.⁠⠀⠀
.⁠⠀⠀
Bananas are a nutritious fruit that can be eaten in so many different ways. While most people eat bananas when they’re ripe (yellow), you can also safely eat them in their other stages. Green and brown bananas still provide a lot of the good nutrients that are in ripe bananas like potassium, magnesium, vitamin C and vitamin B6. ⁠⠀⠀
.⁠⠀⠀
Green bananas - contain mostly starch and tend to be more bitter in taste and firm in texture than yellow bananas. Green bananas also contain lots of fiber, prebiotics, pectin, and resistant starches which have been linked to health benefits like helping to keep your gut bacteria healthy. Because they have the most fiber, these bananas are slightly more filling than a yellow or brown banana. ⁠⠀⠀
.⁠⠀⠀
Yellow bananas - are a great source of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other nutrients. They have lost a little bit of resistant starch since being unripe, and therefore they taste sweeter than green bananas. Bananas in this stage are quickly digested and leave you feeling full for longer. ⁠⠀⠀
.⁠⠀⠀
Brown bananas - contain the most antioxidants out of all the stages and the least amount of resistant starches, meaning that they’re very sweet. This flavor makes them great for baking! In this stage the banana has lost the most micronutrients, but it is still a healthy choice. ⁠⠀⠀
.⁠⠀⠀
Pro tip: If you want to ripen a banana faster you can place it in a brown paper bag, and if you want to slow down the process put it in the fridge. 😁⁠⠀⠀

Purple carrots: You may have seen these at your local fruit and vegie market and thought they looked a little strange. As it happens these were normal #carrots up until the 17th century, so they’re actually more normal than their orange counterparts! Very high in anti-inflammatory properties, support a healthy weight, and excellent sources of fibre and Vitamin A.

Purple cabbage: A striking flavour both raw and cooked, #purplecabbage boosts the immune system, is rich in fibre and Vitamin K (important for healthy bones). It also contains probiotics.
Purple potatoes: Apart from having a mesmerising textured purple colour, they help lower blood pressure, keep blood circulation healthy and can be used as a natural alternative to artificial dye.

Eggplant: Rich source of Vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin B6, magnesium, potassium and too many more. #Eggplant is often touted as one of the world’s healthiest foods, a pitch made stronger with the presence of #anthocyanin. Just make sure you don’t throw out the skin – it’s the most nutritious part.

#Purplefruits: All deep red, blue or purple fruits are high in all the good stuff above so you really can’t go wrong. Add some juicy blueberries, strawberries and raspberries to your fruit salads or snack options, try plums for added digestive health and acai berries to slow down the ageing process.

Here’s what antioxidants like anthocyanin can do:

Reduce the risk of high blood pressure and low HDL cholesterol (the good kind), Help to prevent obesity and diabetes

Lower the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurological diseases and cognitive declines

Reduce inflammation and therefore chronic disease

Assist in preventing urinary tract infections, fight ulcers, reduce liver damage and prevent other diseases contracted from cell damage.

Its been 2 years since the universe realigned me to my path. Since then my sister @chels_flowers323 jumped on board and decided to come on this journey with me. So much has happened since then, I've met so many people along the way that have helped me and have become great friends. Obviously this year has been wild to say the least but honestly I do this for y'all for all the people in the community. We appreciate each and everyone of you out there for allowing us the opportunity to nourish your soul and listen to our story. We love you 💕 thank you🙏 Thank to @alchemyorganica and @xochitl.vegan for the echo park vibes and for all the work you do too🙏💕

Everything in this country is backwards! We cannot sit and standby anymore! Families are being torn apart and children are left to fend for themselves THIS IS AWFUL. Yesterday in Mississippi, ICE arrested 600 undocumented immigrants during the work day while their kids were at school. It was the largest mass raid of ICE in American history. These were all men and women working in chicken and poultry plants. When it came time to pick the kids up, nobody came. Their parents had been detained. Strangers provided them with food and scores of kids just slept in the school gym last night. This is what our nation has come to.

I want to thank everyone that was there from the beginning for everyone that came to visit, all the people that held it down and supported us. When you enjoy our food you're experiencing my life through food. You're experiencing my grandmas cooking, you're experiencing #Boyleheights, your experiencing my heart and soul. My sister embarked on this journey with me and I cannot Express how much love and appreciation I have for her 😭💕 I am so blessed to have so many of you in life. Her commitment to my goals and dreams and the commitment she has for the world around her, the community and trying to heal la raza omg the love is oozing out of us for you all. We appreciate you from @chels_flowers143 - Thank you Desiree for taking me into your home and letting me be part of Dear Mama to show people that vegan food not only taste good but also heals. We have met so many amazing people throughout the year that also want to also create a positive change in the world starting with our communities since vegan food is not accessible. Dear Mama also offers 15% off if you are a single parent and free tacos to your children. Growing up with a single mother it was hard for her to put food on the table even with welfare. We know the struggle and we are willing to do anything we can do to help feed you and your children plant based food. I appreciate each and everyone one of you that have helped us grow and continued to push us. 🙏💕 Blessed to have met each and every one of you!💕 Dear Mama this is for you 🌱 🌎 💕 -
