SEASONINGS

Today, I’m sharing with you the best seasonings you can use in your meal preparations, some of which has health benefits. Rather than using seasonings which are high in salt which can lead to health diseases such as hypertension, it is important for you to prepare foods with these for your children.

I use these in all my meal preparation. They are fresh and nothing about it is processed.

It’s a great idea to cut up the chive and celery and place them in zip lock bags and into the freezer until you are ready to use.

Chive- Chives contain choline. Choline is an important nutrient that helps with sleep, muscle movement, learning and memory. It also helps to maintain the structure of cellular membranes, aids in the transmission of nerve impulses, assists in the absorption of fat and reduces chronic inflammation               

                 

Celery- Celery can not only be added to foods for flavor but the celery stalk can be served raw as a fruit for you kids. Try serving them with peanut butter.

Onions-   these add a perfect flavor to foods as well they provide some health benefits whereby the phytochemicals in them along with their vitamin C help improve immunity
