Cooking with Culinary Lavender
by: Jenny Bishop Have you tried whole grains with culinary lavender? Whole grains are
making a comeback, and their advantages in terms of health and environmental
conservancy are well known. However, to many palates accustomed to refined
flour, whole grains seem tasteless and heavy. By using our Culinary Lavender,
you can create healthy, satisfying meals that taste - and smell - delicious.
Adding Lavender Lemon Pepper or Italian Seasoning with Lavender to your whole
grains is the key to making nutritious meals that your entire family will love. Why are Whole Grains So Beneficial? Natural grains consist of three parts - the germ, the bran, and the
endosperm. White rice, flour, and other refined grains are made by processing
endosperm and discarding the bran and germ. The endosperm consists almost
entirely of starch, while minerals, vitamins, proteins, and other healthy
substances are found in the bran and germ. Although the endosperm has a milder
taste and softer texture, adding culinary lavender to whole grains makes them
just as appealing as refined grains - or even more so! Using Culinary Lavender to interest your family in whole grains is also
environmentally friendly. Nearly one third of every bushel of grain is discarded
in the refining process. By using whole grains, you are extending the usefulness
of every acre of grain that is planted. What does Culinary Lavender Add to Your Meal? Culinary Lavender looks and smells wonderful, but it also does more than
just make whole grains more appetizing. Culinary Lavender has been known since
Roman times for its soothing and healing properties. A pinch of Italian
Seasoning with Lavender in your rice can relieve dizziness, or some Lavender
Lemon Pepper mixed with whole grain flour for a fish batter can ease the pain of
headaches as well as tasting great. How Can I Use Culinary Lavender with Whole Grains? Here are some suggestions for using Culinary Lavender while cooking with
whole grains: · Add Italian Seasoning with Lavender to homemade whole grain pastas,
or use it to spice up your spaghetti sauce when cooking store bought whole grain
pasta. · Bake whole wheat breads with a touch of Culinary Lavender, to add a
hint of alluring flavor to your loaves. · Sprinkle Lavender Lemon Pepper over your stone-ground whole grain
grits in the morning. · Make a spicy topping for your whole wheat bread using a mixture of
garlic, olive oil, and Italian Seasoning with Lavender. · Use whole grain flour mixed with Lavender Lemon Pepper as a batter
dip for fried vegetables, fish, and chicken fingers. · Crush some Culinary Lavender with raw sugar, and sprinkle it over
your whole grain oatmeal for breakfast.
