i am here with a local dish that is
delicious and healthy
and i thought i would share with you
some of the ingredients in there that
you might not normally see
this is a a
bowl of fava beans
that have been boiled and pureed with a
little extra virgin olive oil
and um
on top of this are some
caper leaves
see what these are
caper leaves um i don't normally eat
these we will sometimes have capers in a
little bottle
i've never had caper leaf let me try it
quite good
kind of like a salad leaf a little salty
i think this might have been brined or
pickled
that's delicious um
so fava beans are a legume and it
contains dietary fiber which is good for
our gut microbiome which lowers
inflammation and actually makes our
brain healthier because there's the gut
brain axis
so um
i'm actually writing my next book and
writing about fava beans and legumes
it turns out that this actually can help
your metabolism as well and fight body
