cooking stains. Thanks Henry, you have made our lives far more delicious!
This recipe is also great with
shredded chicken added to or in place of the mung
beans
Raw Humus
2 cups; Sprouted Chick
Peas
2 cups Tahini or soaked sesame seeds
2 cloves Garlic
Chopped parsley and dill
Juice of 1/2 lemon, dash of Bragg Aminos
Blend all ingredients in a blender, if necessary add a little bit of water
to
make blending easier until the paste is smooth and consistent

Cilantro
Chelation Pesto
(to remove heavy metals from
the body)
4 cloves garlic
1/3 cup Brazil nuts (selenium)
1/3 cup sunflower seeds (cysteine)
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds (zinc, magnesium)
2 cups packed fresh cilantro (coriander, Chinese parsley) (vitamin A)
2/3 cup flaxseed oil
4 tablespoons lemon juice (vitamin C)
2 tsp dulse powder
Sea salt to taste
Process the
cilantro and flaxseed oil in a blender until the coriander is chopped. Add
the garlic, nuts and seeds, dulse and lemon juice and mix until the mixture
is finely blended into a paste. Add a pinch to sea salt to taste and blend
again. Store in dark glass jars if possible. It freezes well, so purchase
cilantro in season and fill enough jars to last through the year.
Cilantro has
been proven to chelate toxic metals from our bodies in a relatively short
period of time. Combined with the benefits of the other ingredients, this
recipe is a powerful tissue cleanser. It will loosen them from the cells,
but be sure to use colon cleansing food to remove any from the intestines so
that you do not have a retox situation..
Two teaspoons
of this pesto daily for three weeks is purportedly enough to increase the
urinary excretion of mercury, lead, and aluminum, thus effectively removing
these toxic metals from our bodies. We can consider doing this cleanse for
three weeks at least once a year. The pesto is delicious on toast, baked
potatoes, and pasta.

sprouted. Sprouted beans have a lot of health benefits - high

the best way to eat bean sprouts are in the form of salads.

tender, make sure the beans are not overcooked. Drain

cumin seeds. When they start to splutter add asafoetida,

15 to 20 seconds turn off the stove. Next add cooked

Fenugreek sprouts are also good for nursing mothers as it helps in milk formation).
Sprout the 1/2 cup Mung beans (As per Ayurveda, Mung Bean sprouts are tri-doshic/balancing for all body types) until the roots are at least seed length. Once the sprouts are done mix with chopped cucumber (1 medium), 2 medium size chopped tomatoes and a cup of grated carrot. Soak 1 cup raisins for at least 3-4 hrs and add it to the above mixture along with juice of 2 limes. Add 1/2 cup of cilantro, 1 tablespoon of grated ginger (approx 1 inch piece) and refrigerate.

Recipe for "Mung bean Soap?" for bathing
(found on the internet) Sounds like fun!!!
Mix a little mung bean flour with water and use this paste instead of soap. It smells like freshly cut grass and doesn't dry out the skin like soap. It is tridoshic and especially good for sensitive skin and conditions such as athletes foot.
You can buy mung bean powder, or flour, from some Indian grocery stores. In India they mix a little turmeric with this paste and use it as a face wash, though I am a little wary of using turmeric on my skin for fear of looking jaundiced! If you want to try this be sure to wash it off quickly.
Thought from Glenda: Use the mung bean sprouts (live food) and dehydrate them to make the flour.
