Mediterranean superfood and other superfoods, from breakfast to dessert - Alice Savorelli

In recent years there has been a lot of talk about superfoods without mentioning that many superfoods are part of our tradition : sesame seeds and almonds, pine nuts and pistachios, dried figs but also red turnips and green and black cabbage.

In the book these ingredients are the real protagonists, sometimes associated with other superfoods such as goji berries and chia seeds, algae, turmeric and others.

Real superfoods, rich in nutrients and useful for maintaining a healthy overall balance . They are sources of vegetable proteins, minerals and good fats, omega 3 and 6, fiber and antioxidants such as vitamin E.

A handful of oilseeds in the diet can even prevent weight gain within a controlled calorie regime. They also help in the prevention of diabetes, heart disease and inflammatory diseases, support bone development and energy production.

The over 90 recipes in the book suggest how to use oil seeds and dried fruit in all dishes, from breakfast to dessert.

In these pages the ingredients of the Mediterranean tradition are expertly combined with others from more distant countries (goji berries, chia seeds, seaweed), which have arrived on our tables thanks to the ever-increasing attention to a diet capable of combining flavor and health.
