Earth Day turns 48 today! Our understanding of our planet has increased exponentially since the original Earth Day in 1970. There have been many positive environmental laws to help clean up pollution & toxicity, and social activism and awareness to promote clean living to protect our earth for future generations to enjoy. #earthday #earth #gogreen #greatoutdoors #nature #recycle #naturelovers

✨CLEAVERS✨ You know, that sticky weed that twines through hedges, gardens, and forest floors. It is considered by many herbalists to be the best tonic for the lymphatic system, as it assists the lymph nodes in cleansing out toxins. Since it also acts as a diuretic, it’s an excellent herb choice for detoxification and cleansing. Because of these properties and its high silica content, cleavers is great for supporting healthy skin. It’s also very rich in vitamin C and many other minerals, so this is one weed you might want to spare from the compost pile! 🌱 Cleavers can be used externally as a poultice, and is quite versatile as a food plant, too. They can be made into tea, chopped up and cooked like spinach, added to smoothies, or juiced and taken as a cleansing shot. To do this, simply combine a handful of cleavers with a little bit of filtered water in a blender and blend until smooth. Filter through a fine mesh strainer. It’s especially delicious with a splash of lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt, served on ice. • #eatyourweeds #lymphatic #alterative #cleansing #detox #cleavers #greenshot #greenjuice #vitaminc #foodasmedicine #backyardforaging
Dandelion for days! There’s plenty that grow wild in our fields, but we also cultivate them because they’re such good medicine. Their leaves act as a potassium-sparing diuretic, and the root supports liver and digestive health. #dandelion #dientedeleon #weedsasmedicine #liverhealth #digestivehealth #naturaldiuretic #herbfarm #organicfarming #organicherbs
Are your energy levels like a rollercoaster ride throughout the day? Low blood sugar moments can certainly be uncomfortable, and chronically high blood sugar is a significant risk factor for many inflammation-based conditions. Instead of reaching for high-carb or sugary snacks, focus on healthy fats, protein, and fiber. • Our Blood Sugar Support whole-food powder contains all sorts of freeze-dried vegetables, fruits, and herbs that help regulate blood sugar levels. We used it to fortify these nutrient-dense energy balls, chock-full of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Each ball contains 1 teaspoon of powder! Having two of these balls throughout the day as snacks may keep your blood sugar levels smooth as a ride across Kansas. Give it a try - they're equal parts delicious and nutritious! • Tahini-Date Energy Balls (modified from @dishingouthealth ) - makes about 12! —— 1. Heat 1/3 cup tahini (or sub almond butter), 3 tablespoons honey, and 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a saucepan on medium-low heat. 2. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup Blood Sugar Support powder until powder is dissolved. 3. Transfer it into a large bowl, and stir in 1 cup quick oats, 5 finely chopped pitted dates, 1/4 cup chopped pistachios, cashews, or other nut, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. 4. Mix it by hand until everything is well combined. Form into balls, roughly the size of a ping-pong ball, and roll each ball around in a bowl of sesame or hemp seeds to coat the outsides. 5. Let freeze for about 45 minutes, then enjoy! • • #energyballs #healthybloodsugar #healthyfats #foodasmedicine #healthysnacks #freezedried #herbalpowders #nutrientdense #healingfoods
We’ve been working on an organic veggie garden for our interns to glean from this summer. We’re feeling particularly excited about these purple beauties that were put in the ground today. • Purple variety potatoes have significantly higher polyphenols, anthocyanins, and chlorogenic acids than other varieties of potato. All of these mean healthy blood pressure, and greater antioxidant capacity. Potatoes in general are a rich source of potassium and vitamin C. Did you know that eating one medium potato with the skin fulfills nearly half of the adult daily requirement of vitamin C? Of course, preparation is key 🔑 - we’re talking whole potatoes prepared nutritiously, not refined potato starch deep-fried in vegetable oil! • We’re planting them in deep trenches with loose, rich soil. Nutrition-packed purple majesty and good ol’ all-purpose Yukon gold. Hoping the timing works out just right for a good harvest while the interns are here! 🌱🥔🥔 #purplepotatoes #purplemajesty #antioxidants #anthocyanins #organicgardening #vitaminc #healthybloodpressure
