The Green Nut

The Green Nut The Green Nut Community is a plant-based social enterprise bringing people together through food, wellbeing, and hands-on workshops.

I’m Linda North, I’m a Registered Nutritional Therapist, Health Coach and plant-based chef. I run clinics and programmes specialising in diabetes and female hormone balance alongside cooking classes focusing on nutrition, food waste and food as medicine. I’ve always had an interest in the importance of food as medicine, and that interest accelerated when my daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes aged six. As a mother, I had to do something to take back some control of her health and made changes to our family’s diet and lifestyle. Ten years later we are all much healthier, happier and stronger as a result. My learning has evolved to studying women’s health and how women can be empowered to make informed choices about their health and nutrition. Imbalances in their body, why they are happening and how they might be supported. Everyone is different, so I work by listening first, understanding your story, issues and any symptoms. We’ll then make a plan together to get you on the right path. Nutritional therapy is a marathon, not a sprint so we take it slowly making small achievable changes without overwhelm; these changes may include diet, lifestyle, exercise plans, stress reduction and good sleep practices. I’d love to hear from you and find out how I could make a difference to your health. Please do send me a message on here to find out more. I’m a graduate of the London College of Naturopathic Medicine, member of the British Association of Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT) and the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CHNC). I stay up to date with the latest scientific research in health and nutrition so you can be confident that you’re in good hands.

🌰 Sweet Chestnuts or Conkers? Know the Difference!

It’s chestnut season — but not all chestnuts are edible!
✅ Sweet chestnuts (Castanea sativa) grow in soft, spiky shells and are rich in fibre, vitamin C, and slow-release carbs — great for energy and gut health. Roast them, add to soups or stews, or blend into creamy chestnut purée.
❌ Conkers (horse chestnuts) have hard, bumpy shells and are toxic if eaten — but you can still use them!

💧Tip: Conkers contain natural saponins — slice, soak, and use them as an eco-friendly laundry or washing-up soap!

See you tomorrow for some TaiChi and interesting photos and stories from BBC.

🍇 Nothing goes to waste here… after our cooking and fermentation classes we had leftover grapes and onions, so they turned into the tastiest chutney. Sweet, tangy, a little spicy – and packed with goodness.

🌿 Grapes = antioxidants + vitamin C
🌿 Ginger + garlic = immune support
🌿 Vinegar = helps balance blood sugar
🌿 Fiber = happy digestion

Simple recipe: grapes, onions, apple/pear, ginger, garlic, apple cider vinegar, spices + a little sweetness. Slow cook until thick and jammy.

Love when our classes carry on into the kitchen and create something nourishing 💚

You can taste it at our immunity workshop tomorrow 😉

Why fermented food?
🌱 Fermented foods are easier for the body to digest.
🌱It removes ‘anti-nutrients’ which enhances the availability of certain nutrients.
🌱It may improve symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression.
🌱May support heart health and lower risk of heart disease.
🌱May support immune function and reduce risk of infection.
🌱Fermenting foods may aid weight loss.
