Description
Dates provide us with dietary fiber and a plethora of vitamins! Strong teeth, bones, a robust immune system, a healthy heart, endurance, skin like a baby... Shall I continue? Or should I just mention that using them allows us to eliminate or significantly reduce refined sugar in our diet? To make beet powder, you need to dry thin slices of beet in a slightly open oven at a temperature of 50-60 degrees Celsius and then crumble the resulting beet chips. In the cashew version, use beet juice only as a coloring agent and flavor enhancer. The beet itself can be used for a salad or smoothie. To prepare the juice, you can grate the beet and squeeze the juice into a container. All natural candies should be stored only at low temperatures.
