Discount Code:"BlackFriday2021" We know. Black Friday sales are a strange cultural phenomenon. The US celebration of the first Friday after Thanksgiving seems like an odd cultural import to the UK; a county which doesn’t celebrate Thanks Giving at all! Since the inception of this informal calendar day, it’s been used by brands a springboard into the Christmas sales. To be fair, what better time is there?  While we here in Great Britain might shun such a card-company-holiday as a cynical attempt to get people down to the shops, we here at Wholefood Earth think there are a few redeeming features. Firstly, sales. Who doesn’t like a bargain? Secondly, the chance for us to say  thank you  to our customers.  As an extension of our gratitude for entrusting us to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet through the tribulations of the last two years, we're giving you 15% off anything you need to stock up a  healthy pantry  for a wholesome 2022.

Are Cashew Nuts Good For You?    There’s no doubt about it; cashew nuts  are one of the most popular nuts, and for good reason. Their sweet buttery taste is rich in nutrients and antioxidants, making them a great healthy food choice. Cashews are low in sugar and high in fibre, heart-healthy fats, and plant protein. One of the reasons for their popularity is how easily they can be added to your diet. Either as a snack, used in recipes and even turned into cashew cheese or butter.   But did you know the cashew nut isn’t actually a nut at all?!  They are, in fact, a seed from the flowering Cashew tree. They originated in Brazil, but today, cashew nuts grow all over the world.     Read on to see some more of the health benefits of Cashew nuts.    Cashew Nuts Are Rich in Nutrients    Although cashews may be small, they are packed full of nutrients. They’re a good source of copper, phosphorus, magnesium, and manganese — nutrients important for energy production, brain health, immunity, bone, and teeth health.    Cashews are also high in protein; plain cashew nuts contain 15.7g of protein per 100g, approximately the same as a<a href="https://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/calories/calorie_coun...

The fall season equals pumpkin season and pumpkin season equals pumpkin carving—quick and simple maths. The fall season has rolled in, and dare we say, so have all the multicoloured squash and gourds of the winter seasons.  Pumpkin carving is a tradition that has been around since the 19th century, originating from Irish folklore, the story of ‘Stingy Jack’. Pumpkin carving looked a little bit different back then; the beautiful orange gourds we have all come to know and love so well had not yet been introduced to the UK. Until the classic pumpkin was introduced, people made use of the rutabaga turnip for all carving ventures. How bizarre to think, as they are so very different. Pumpkin carving is riotous fun, yet the annual problem of our generation is finding a good way to use and dispose of the guts and gourd carnage aftermath. Worry not, for here are five things you can do with the innards of a pumpkin. Add to the Vegetable Broth Stockpile As it turns out, pumpkin guts are deeply flavourful and can be used flexibly in any recipe that calls for chicken or vegetable broth.  Quick veg broth recipe: Sauté pumpkin pulp with other leftover veg, onions, celery, carrot, etc. Add water and let the mixture simmer for about 30minutes to an hour before straining. Et voila! Fresh veg stock. Harvest the pumpkin seeds for roasting!  Make the classic roasted seeds everyone knows and loves or try your hand at making its <a href="https://64...

Stingy Jack &amp; the True Origin of the Jack-O-Lantern Legend has it that seven centuries ago; there lived a drunkard in Ireland known as ‘Stingy Jack’. Jack was well known for being a deceiver and a manipulator. One night Satan, overheard the many tales of Jack’s evil doing. Intrigued and a little envious, the devil went to find out for himself whether or not Jack lived up to his reputation. One night a drunken Jack was wandering the countryside whereupon he came across Satan. Fearing his end was imminent, Jack bargained with the devil to allow him a last request before departing this world. He asked the devil to allow him a drink of ale before departing to hell. Seeing no reason not to oblige, the devil accepted Jacks request. Satan took Jack to the local pub where Jack had his fill of ale. Upon quenching his thirst, Jack had the cheek to ask Satan to pay for the ale. Unbelievable! As it happened, Satan did not carry any money either. Jack convinced Satan to turn into a silver coin with which to pay the bartender and then change back when he wasn’t looking. Satan, impressed by Jacks cunning, did as asked. Jack was clever though, as soon as the devil transformed into a silver coin, he grabbed it and put it into his pocket, which also had a crucifix. The presence of the cross would not permit the devil from escaping his coin form. Jack coerced the devil into sparing his life for the next ten years, Satan complied, releasing the devil. Ten years past and Jack found himself in the devil’s presence once more though this time Jack appeared willing to depart. As Satan was getting readied to take Jack to hell, he asked the devil if he could have an apple. Unbeknownst to Satan, this was another of Jacks tricks. Once again, the devil accepted Jacks request; Satan climbed up the branches of a nearby apple tree. As the devil climbed, Jack surrounded the base of the tree with crucifixes, trapping the devil once more. Frustrated at being entrapped once more,...

With autumn well underway, most of us will have noticed the tell signs of the season. What with all different shaped pumpkins and gourds filling up the market stalls, to the colourful change of leaves flooding the streets and the return of the ever-famous pumpkin spice latte. October is here, and we intend to deliver the same ambience it provides us all. That being said, read on for the five benefits pumpkin seeds can provide you this spooky season. May Help Improve Sleep A lesser-known benefit of Pumpkin Seeds is their ability to aid with sleep! Pumpkin Seeds are a natural source of tryptophan.

The mineral zinc also present in Pumpkin Seeds helps convert the tryptophan into serotonin, which is then changed into melatonin, the sleep hormone. Further, pumpkin seeds are a great source of the mineral magnesium. Proper magnesium levels are known to be associated with better sleep quality as well.   Small studies have found taking a magnesium supplement boosted sleep quality and total sleep time in people with low magnesium levels. Pumpkin Seeds Boost Hormone Levels Pumpkin Seeds are used in Seed Cycling ; an alternative medicine practice believed to aid in regulating reproductive hormones. As mentioned above, Pumpkin Seeds provide a high content of the nutrient zinc. Zinc has an impact on several different areas of your body.  This includes the reproductive system and pituitary glands. Zinc is essential in the production of progesterone; it increases the production of FSH (Follicle Stimulating...

Are Chia Seeds Good for You? | 10 Health Benefits of Chia Seeds Yes, for those who want a quick answer, Chia Seeds are most likely good for you.  Chia Seeds are one of the plant-based foods that contain one of the most significant amounts of fibre and omega-3 fatty acids. They abound in copious amounts of high-quality protein, along with several antioxidants and essential minerals. These may improve blood levels of heart-healthy omega-3s, digestive health, as well as any risk factors for heart disease and diabetes. Read on for all of this and more if you'd like answers as to why Chia Seeds could be precisely what you need. Chia Seeds Are Easy to Incorporate Into Your Diet Chia seeds themselves are quite bland, making them an easy add on to pretty much anything. A massive bonus of them is they don't need to be ground up like flax seeds do. Making them so much easier to prepare. Chia seeds can be eaten raw, added to porridge, puddings, smoothies, soaked in juice or different kinds of milk, or added to baked goods. You can also pepper them on top of different rice dishes and vegetables. However, the most popular way Chia Seeds are incorporated into diets is by sprinkling them on cereals, yoghurts and granolas. Chia Seeds have the fantastic ability to absorb both water and fat. This special trait can thicken sauces in recipes and as egg substitutes in certain baking recipes. A good supplement of chia seeds to recipes will dramatically boost their nutritional value. Chia Seeds do seem to be well tolerated throughout, but if you're not used to eating a lot of fibre, there is a chance of experiencing digestive side effects if too much of it is eaten...
