Jackfruit BBQ

JACKFRUIT BBQ….

We are creatures of habit… true! I noticed a common answer among most of my clients, when asked the question, what do you typically eat in a day? Initial reaction is, “I eat pretty healthy”. Once the question has sunk bellow the surface, it’s quite common for them to realize they eat a lot of the same foods. Those same foods are typically processed and come packaged with a paragraph of ingredients. So, again I am inviting you to step out of your comfort box of meals and be a bit more adventurous.

Jackfruit, native to Thai land, is enormous and prickly on the outside. As jackfruit is cooked, it begins to soften and pulls apart in a meat-like texture.  It is completely versatile, full of fiber and B vitamins. The fruit’s isoflavonoids, antioxidants, and phytonutrients mean that jackfruit has cancer-fighting properties. Also known to help cure ulcers and indigestion.

There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.
Buddha 

“Undisturbed calmness of mind is attained by cultivating friendliness toward the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous, and indifference toward the wicked.” Patanjali- The yoga sutras

Namaste!
