Have you ever thought about foraging?
I hadn’t until recently and now I’m hooked! 🍄
It’s amazing how many wild, natural ingredients are out there just waiting to be discovered.
Of course, always forage carefully as some plants can be toxic but with the right knowledge, it’s such a rewarding way to connect with nature.
Mushrooms
* Rich in B vitamins (especially B2 and B3) and selenium.
* Supports immune health due to beta-glucans.
* Low in calories, high in protein and good for metabolism and energy.
Thistle
* Liver support: Related to milk thistle (Silybum marianum), thistles contain compounds that may help protect liver cells and support detoxification.
* Digestive aid: The leaves and roots can stimulate digestion and bile production.
* Anti-inflammatory: Traditionally used for reducing inflammation and aiding wound healing
