Summer Spice Trio

By

SummerSpiceTrio1

The days are getting longer, it's definitely hotter and we're all feeling a little lazy as summertime strikes. I know when I start to feel that heat-induced ennui that it's time for some fresh food, a new recipe and a refreshing meal. eSutras has made a new Summer Spice Trio - find it here - for just these moods. Exotic and revitalizing spices to complement sunny days, picnics, sandy beaches and summer ennui.

CORIANDER SEED +++

Today I discovered that coriander seed grows into a plant otherwise known as cilantro. Who knew!? Coriander always seemed so Mediterranean or Middle Eastern, so foreign, but cilantro? I grow it in my backyard! That's the great thing about eSutras Organics Coriander Seed: it can be all those things. It's easy to cultivate in a tiny kitchen planter, the leaves are fantastic in tons of dishes and the seeds - when ground and used as a spice - are sweet, unusual and distinct.

CELERY SEED +++

These little buggers are the best for pickling. You may have tasted their sharp and refreshing flavor in sauerkraut. I know you've all got lots of time with these extra hours of summer sunlight, so why not take the time to pickle something? Green beans, cabbage - for that celery seed sauerkraut! - or radishes are really complemented by celery seed's full-bodied flavors.

BROWN MUSTARD SEED +++

Mustard seed is a regular jack-of-all-trades. It's good-eatin' to be sure, and can used as a pickling spice too. They can be roasted until they pop and stir-fried with vegetables. Eat them however you like. Ground them up and mix them with a carrier oil - in the winter, brown mustard seeds are soothingly warm on the skin and provide your body with the moisture it's lacking. Cool!

Mother Earth, Mother Nature, We the Children & Easter

By
Did you know the first Greek God was actually a Goddess?. he is Gaia, or Mother Earth, who created herself out of primordial chaos. From her fertile womb all life sprang, and unto Mother Earth all living things must return after their allotted span of life is over.  Gaia, as Mother Nature, personifies the entire ecosystem of Planet Earth.  Mother Nature is always working to achieve and maintain harmony, wholeness and balance within the environment. Mother Nature heals, nurtures and supports all life on this planet, and ultimately all life and health depend on Her. In time, Nature heals all ills. The way of Mother Gaia is the passive, feminine, Yin way of healing. All we need to do to regain our health is to return to the bosom of Mother Nature and live in accordance with Her laws. The Gaia archetype underlies all notions of the Nature Cure. Mother Nature is a healing goddess for the ancients whose glory was celebrated each spring, long before organized religion came into...
