I actually bought a bunch of spices from a little shop when traveling, but I don’t remember there name! I then got a whole set of Simply Organic spices with spice rack gifted to me by the company. Since then, I’ve been buying their brand to replenish that pretty rack. Their product is fantastic, and I was told by their team that they follow rigorous allergen protocols.

Chestnuts add a festive feel to this lentil stuffing, with a flavour nod to the East. Season carefully, as the tamari and miso both bring their own saltiness. Tahini is added for extra flavour and nutrients and to thicken the sauce; if it gets a little too thick, just let it down with a splash of water. The chestnut mixture and the kale can both be reheated if you’re speedy at the stove and they’re ready before the squash is cooked.

A glandless cotton plant was developed from a strain found on a Hopi Indian reservation in Arizona in the 1950’s but languished until the Rogers Delinted Cottonseed Co. of Waco, Texas started a breeding program to try to develop a commercially viable glandless cotton in 1967 in partnership with Texas A&M.

Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid that is found in watermelon seeds. The body synthesizes its own arginine from citrulline. Unfortunately for people who are stressed, the sick, athletes and the aged they cannot make sufficient arginine for their bodies needs. Erectile dysfunction can have a number of causes. One of them can be the poor circulation associated with Type 2 diabetes. Arginine found in watermelon seeds can be used by the body to create Nitric Oxide (NO). Nitric Oxide dilates blood vessels and ensures better blood circulation. It is also crucial for sperm motility.
