Winter foods therapy
Winter foods principles
Winter foods therapy is using foods and cooking methods to align with the energetics of the season of Winter. The season of Winter is cold so our bodies call for warming foods, meals that have been cooked at low temperatures for a longer time. Adding heating spices such as cloves, peppercorns, ginger, cinnamon to a dish will increase the thermal nature of a meal .
Winter meal ideas
Meals for Winter foods therapy are slow cooked broths and dishes containing chicken, lamb, trout and salmon. Dishes that contain bones such as lamb shanks and Osso bucco are warm in nature. Also beneficial are warm hearty soups, stocks, broths, whole grains and roasted nuts or seeds such as walnuts or sesame. Dried foods, small dark beans, seaweeds and steamed winter greens are also a great addition.
As always it is best to eat within the seasons and consume food that is grown locally in your region.
