Organic Protein

Here you will find my favorite food products and a description of some food ingredients we need to avoid.

I'll teach you which ingredients to avoid even on organic food! They can have ingredients that are not considered healthy, or they are not environmentally sustainable and we need to spot them so we can choose a brand that doesn't use them. Here you can find the healthiest options!

Sea To Table Responsable Wild Fish
unnamed.gif

Sea to Table works with other socially-responsible organizations that care about the health of our oceans and the safety of our food.

While the vast majority of seafood sold in the United States is imported from overseas, and often comes from poorly regulated industrial farms, all Sea to Table seafood is wild-caught from well-managed U.S. fisheries.

Their fish is flash-frozen to preserve freshness. 

Every pack of fish from Sea to Table is labeled with species name, where it was caught, the catch method, the best-by date… and sometimes even the name of the vessel that caught it.

Sea to Table is the only online seafood company to send samples of their fish to DNA test

Sea to Table Fish is DNA-Tested to Avoid Fish Fraud

to guarantee that their fish is truly wild, sustainable, and correctly labeled.

By analyzing the DNA of fish sold across the country, researchers have found that roughly a third of U.S. seafood is mislabeled.

Applegate USDA Certified Organic Turkey Balls 

Canola oil is everywhere and in many packaged food.

🍃 That's why I read carefully food packaging labels to be sure that canola oil is not in them. We won't keep it out of our body why?

It is highly processed, unhealthy, cheap, and inflammatory oil. read more in the next post below.

🍃  The other ingredient I strictly avoid is citric acid, why?

Because it derives from a mold, once it used to be extracted from citric fruits but it has been cheaply replaced with a lab mold.

and if you have acid-reflux or GERD, stay away from it! 

🍃  Also, I avoid natural flavors: a mysterious combination of ingredients that is not disclosed by the company and we want to know what we are eating right?

🍃  So here is my new discovery delicious turkey meatballs high in protein made with clean ingredients.

INGREDIENTS: organic turkey, organic lentils, organic feta cheese, organic olive oil, organic dill, and sea salt. You can get it online. 

  • USDA Certified Organic

  • No Antibiotics or Added Hormones

  • No Chemical Nitrites or Nitrates

  • Non-GMO Project Verified

USDA Certified Organic Turkey Breast

Even organic turkey brands can contain unnecessary ingredients such as natural flavors, sugar.

Look at labels that have fewer ingredients possible like these.

I prefer the Organic Valley Turkey for its flavor.

TreeBoard Organic Cutting Board
organic cutting boards, eco-friendly, non-toxic, mineral oil free, sustainable, food grade, made in the USA, organic wood cutting board, organic bamboo cutting board, glue-free
5aa33738-eb2b-44c1-a18e-ddb492b0a6ec.jpg

🌿This is my number one recommended cutting board!

🙋‍♀️As promised, here is the guide on how to pick the safest cutting board:
👉Rule out the toxic one:
1. ❌Plastic: plastic particles, BPA, phthalates contaminant
2. ❌Any cutting board with mineral oil: a petroleum-derived
3. ❌Any cutting board that contains glue. Since many contain toxic ingredients
4. ❌Epicurean: made with recycled material glued together. Including wood, paper, resins and plastic. Plus bacteria issue.
❌Controversial one:
1. Bamboo: not the best option even when it is organic, since it contains glue. Then we need to check if the glue is formaldehyde-free. I prefer to avoid any glue in a cutting board!
💚Pick the best:
The safest cutting board you could get is:
✅1. one piece of wood, means it doesn’t need glue.
✅2. Better if it is made with sustainably sourced wood
✅3. Organic finish oil such as organic flaxseed oil, raw linseed oil, or organic carnauba wax.
✅4. Made in the USA
And you know what? 🎉This is the only brand that has it all!
👉Beautifully hand-made in Maryland from sustainable certified sourced lumber in a solid piece of wood, following the tradition by Will the founder.
👉Then finished with an organic mixture of plant-based carnauba wax and organic raw linseed oil
You can’t get a more natural and beautiful cutting board than these.
🌿Especially the maple cutting board: widely considered to be the best North American wood for cutting boards, since the grain is hard and fine, resisting gouges and the absorption of liquids or food scraps.
🎉Now that your research for the safest cutting board on the market brought you here, you have also found a promo code that is available until the end of the month.

MATERIAL: Natural maple or ash and white oak cutting blocks, organic flaxseed oil, and organic carnauba wax.
