The nutritional benefits of cherries are pretty big, particularly when you consider their small size. Many of the health benefits of cherries are related to the natural chemical that gives them their color. Anthocyanins give flowers, berries and other fruits the colors ranging from red to blue. Some of the best food sources of anthocyanins are red grapes, chokeberry, eggplant and, of course, cherries. These pigments attract pollinators, act as a “sunscreen” and protect the plant from radicals formed by UV light, so they act as antioxidants. The antioxidant benefits are transferred to people when the fruits or vegetables are eaten. The health benefits of cherries and other plant foods containing anthocyanins are many. Anthocyanins are used by the body to produce essential amino acids. As antioxidants, they protect the cells of the body from the damaging, aging and disease producing affects of oxygen, nitrogen and UV radiation. Anthocyanins are also natural pain relieve...

Herbs are often an important aspect of a detoxification program. Many detoxing regimes give suggested herbs to use through the process. But what exactly do these herbs do?  It is important to read up on the herbs that you intend to use, as many of these natural agents are surprisingly powerful and have very different effects. Detox, short for detoxification, is the removal of potentially toxic substances from the body. We have two great tea kits for both men & women to begin your detox regimen. These kits are loaded with excellent choices to make your detox process easy. The Immuni Tea Detox Kit for women and  The Defense Tea Detox Kit for men.

  Recipes for the Summer Spice Trio

Rose and an Amaranth blossomed side by side in a garden, and the Amaranth said to her neighbor, "How I envy you your beauty and your sweet scent! No wonder you are such a universal favourite." But the Rose replied with a shade of sadness in her voice, "Ah, my dear friend, I bloom but for a time: my petals soon wither and fall, and then I die. But your flowers never fade, even if they are cut; for they are everlasting." Aesop's Fables We're starting a new feature on this blog, something I'd like to call our Hump Day Special.

Adding soy to your diet is easy. You can cook tofu in all types of recipes : use it as a meat substitute in stir-fry, make spreads or dips with it to serve on veggies, bread & crackers or purée it in a delicious chocolate mousse. Use soy milk as you would regular cow's or goat's milk, for soups and cream sauces or ice creams and cereal. Japanese-style tofu like ours here at eSutras has an uncanny capacity to pick up flavor. For the fullest-bodied flavor, it is best to let your tofu marinate in spices or sauces for at least 30 minutes. I just curried and grilled some eSutras Japanese tofu the other day and it became an instant hit. People have been asking ever since for my delicious tofu kebabs, so without further ado, here's the recipe - and they're totally vegan! Curried Tofu Kebabs 1-8oz. pkg. eSutras Organics Firm Tofu, cut into 1" cubes 1 large zucchini, cut into 1" cubes 1 large green pepper, sliced vertically and then horizontally 1 ...

We here at eSutras can vouch for this recipe's claim as best in the world; we all tried it today at our Holiday party. And it's totally vegan! Courtesy of Sara K. Fay : 1 1/2 cups of overripe bananas (4 bananas should do the trick), mashed 1/3 cup soy milk 1/2 cup vegetable oil 2 cups flour 1/3 cup eSutras Dark Agave Nectar (we substituted half of this amount with Date syrup - Yum! You can also try maple syrup.) 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup eSutras Organics Vegan Chocolate Morsels (add more if you like) Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Mash bananas and add wet ingredients. Mix dry ingredients separately; add to wet mix. Add chocolate morsels. Don't over-mix; leave it nice and clumpy, especially when dealing with the bananas. Bake for 20 minutes (or until you check that it's cooked all the way through). Enjoy! Easy & delicious. Pictured below are our Vegan Chocolate Morsels. Shop online at eSutras Organics today!
