These 7 superfood recipes are really delicious

Superfood is booming. Everywhere you read and hear about it. Mostly it comes from Asia or South America. But there are also superfood recipes made in Germany

Superfood - who does not immediately think of Acai, Chia* and Co? These foods are imported from Asia and South America. This is not only bad for the environment, but often also for your own health. It is not uncommon for these foods, and therefore your superfood recipes, to be contaminated with harmful substances.

The highly praised effect of acai, Chia* and other foods that end up on the superfood list is often overestimated. This is because this superfood has to travel many kilometers before it reaches your plate. Many nutrients are lost in the process.

So why rely on superfoods from abroad when you can get on the doorstep also a large amount of Superfood has? I know you know the three foods I'm about to introduce you to. But you probably didn't know that you could make superfood recipes made in Germany with them.

For these foods you don't need a Superfood Online Shop: Dandelion, Horseradish and Jerusalem Artichoke - My Superfood List made in Germany

Superfood 1: Dandelion

Dandelion is the superfood par excellence in spring. Dandelion is a Home remedywhich helps detoxify the liver and is full of vitamins. So from weed or rabbit food!

The domestic Wild herb is found throughout Europe. More and more often its healing powers are rediscovered in medicine. The dandelion can also be found in many gourmet kitchens.

Dandelions are present on almost every Meadow or also at the Forest edge. Make sure that the place where you collect it has not been treated with fertilizers.

Otherwise, even your superfood recipes are anything but healthy. Equipped with a knife, you cut off the leaves of the dandelion, which has not yet bloomed.

It's best to pick the most beautiful leaves on the spot. This saves a lot of work in the kitchen later when preparing your superfood recipes.

Often you can buy it at markets. I haven't seen any dandelions in the supermarket yet. But who knows, maybe it will be soon.

However, you should like the slightly bitter taste. Who the dandelion too bitter who is, should simply put him before the meal in Water pickle. Thus, the bitter substances of this superfood are lost a little.

However, they should not be completely lost. After all, that's what makes the dandelion so healthy! Tip: The more tender the leaves, the less bitter they are. Do not collect flowering dandelions - they are quite bitter.

The dandelion is a food that is well suited for superfood recipes: You can steam it, make a soup or simply make a salad. It always tastes excellent.

Superfood 2: Horseradish or horseradish

Horseradish with it associate most pungency - much Sharpness. And that's a good thing! Indeed, horseradish has many properties that have a very positive effect on our body.

Did you know that horseradish more vitamin C than a lemon? In addition, there is a large number of Antioxidants in the inconspicuous root.

Sharp make him the many ethereal Mustard oils. Horseradish also contains antibiotic substances that make it a widely used medicinal and spice plant. However, when cooking superfood recipes with horseradish, the spiciness largely fades.

The original homeland of the pungent root is Eastern and Southern Europe. Horseradish is the sharpest of all radish roots. Horseradish is brownish on the outside, with the white firm flesh sitting inside. While the leaves are not consumed, the root is known as a spice.

Freshly grated horseradish has a acrid smell and sharp taste. The older the horseradish becomes, the milder it smells and tastes.

Often you can buy it in supermarkets, otherwise you can find this superfood on almost every market. The roots can be stored for a particularly long time without going bad. Just put the horseradish in the Refrigerator.

Before you can cook with it, you need to clean, peel and grate the horseradish root. Attention: This is when this superfood unfolds its full effect. The probability that your eyes start to water is very high. So maybe better use waterproof make up :)

Superfood 3: Jerusalem artichoke or earth artichoke

You ask yourself: What does Jerusalem artichoke have to do with Germany? Admittedly, at first you don't associate it with Germany. But until the end of the 18th century, it was a staple food here. But originally Jerusalem artichoke comes from North America.

Seafarers brought the tuberous vegetable to France. This superfood spread rapidly throughout Europe and is still cultivated in Germany today.

Jerusalem artichoke is a plant that blooms yellow and grows up to 3 meters high is produced. What we eat from it is the tuber, of which one plant produces up to 30 pieces.

They differ in shape and also in color, depending on the variety. The tubers can be shaped like an apple, pear or spindle. There are also differences in the skin: everything from light brown to bluish or purple.

In taste, all varieties with which you prepare superfood recipes are the same: slightly sweetish. The flesh is whitish-yellow and somewhat watery. The taste is reminiscent of the Winter vegetables to an artichoke. Hence the name Earth Artichoke.

Jerusalem artichoke can be very versatile be used in the kitchen. The winter vegetable is available as a salad, soup, stew, casserole, puree or fries. The earth artichoke consists of a large amount of dietary fiber. The tuber keeps particularly long full. Jerusalem artichoke consists of 16 % of insulin, which makes the tuber particularly suitable for diabetics.

You can buy Jerusalem artichoke in the supermarket or at the weekly market. Once you have bought a tuber, it should be Process quickly. Because in the refrigerator Jerusalem artichoke quickly loses flavor and nutrients. Just buy as much as you can consume.

After cleaning, you need to peel the tuber and chop it according to the recipe.
