Category: Vegetable and fruit dishes

Ingredients
fresh, salted or frozen seaweed	100 g
carrot	100 g
bulb onions	50 g
salt	1 tsp
sugar	1 tsp
lemon juice	1 tbsp. l.
vegetable oil (better aromatic, unrefined)	1-2 tbsp. l.
fenugreek seed	10 g
flax seed	1-2 tbsp. l.
spices (I recommend without them)	taste

Cooking method

In order to prepare such a salad, you first need to germinate a fenugreek seed.
To do this, I took a full measuring spoon (large) from a Panasonic bread machine. It turned out to be exactly 10 grams. The second photo shows how much it took in volume in a cup (I don't know why). Within a day, the first shoots appear, in the third photo a full cup after three days.
For convenience, cut the cabbage into shorter pieces, but lovers can leave it in long ribbons.
If your cabbage is salted, then you must first soak it, changing the water to the state that you like. I must say right away that I don't like dried. This is already for me in a situation where there is no fish and ... you understand.
And at this time, chop the carrots on a Korean grater, cut the onion into thin half rings. Stir in sugar, salt and lemon juice and let stand for 1-2 hours.
Heat the oil (do not ignite, just heat) and pour over the prepared vegetables, mix thoroughly.
Add seaweed, fenugreek, flaxseed and stir again.
Salad ready. As you insist, the flax seed will gradually swell and change its state in the salad. My daughter loves immediately, crispy, I love swollen.
Bon Appetit!

The dish is designed for

Decent in volume

Time for preparing:

2-3 hours depending on the salinity of the seaweed

Note

This salad perfectly combines the taste of seaweed, the sweetness of carrots and the bean-turnip taste of fenugreek seed. I believe that additional spices to this salad will be superfluous.
Fenugreek sprouts (shambhala, fenugrek, hilbe) (From the book by N. Kairos \ "Sprouts are living food \")

\ "If people only knew what was in the khilba, they would sell it at the price of gold ...

One hundred diseases and hilba healing them ...

From ancient Arabic sayings, II-III century A.D. e.

Fenugreek, fenugreek, hilbe, shambhala ... ironically, all these names belong to one humble-looking plant.

And in abundant Greece, raw fenugreek seeds are traditionally eaten with honey. In Russia, alas, this plant is undeservedly forgotten. But the very name \ "fenugreek \" has the root of the Old Slavonic word \ "to pasture \" - a place where cattle graze, which was replaced by the name pasture.

Flax seeds: benefits, benefits, and more benefits!

Did you know that these small and so nondescript-looking flax seeds have tremendous benefits for the human body, especially for the heart and digestive tract? In addition, they help control weight and prevent the appearance of cancer. In addition, flaxseed helps lower cholesterol levels, stabilizes blood sugar levels, prevents bone density decline and strengthens immunity.

Flax seeds are rich in vitamins, trace elements, magnesium and manganese, fiber, phytochemicals, many of which include antioxidants. They also contain omega 3 fatty acids - an essential component for our health. Flaxseed is a very important source of plant-based omega 3 alpha linolenic acid. In linseed oil, this substance is 50% - 5 times more than in walnut or rapeseed oil.

Benefits of flaxseed:
Reduces cholesterol and blood sugar. Soluble fiber prevents the formation of arterial plaque, which can clog blood vessels over time. In this way, many cardiovascular pathologies can be avoided. Fibers that help lower blood sugar are beneficial for those with type 2 diabetes.
Prevents loss of bone mass. A study in diabetic mice showed that those who were occasionally fed flaxseed had the bone breakdown process inhibited by the rich omega-3 fatty acids in flaxseed.
Helps control weight. As it digests, flax grows in size, giving you a feeling of fullness. It is recommended that you eat one bar of these seeds shortly before meals to help you reduce the amount of food you eat.
Improves digestion and prevents constipation.
Strengthens the immune system, helping with autoimmune diseases and inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, psoriasis and lupus.
It fights against oncological formations, in particular bowel and breast cancer, delaying the development of the tumor.
Contraindications

Although flaxseed oil is rich in omega 3 fatty acids, it is not superior in quality to fish oil, which remains in the first place in this regard. Moreover, flaxseeds should not be consumed by those with inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease due to their laxative properties.

Women who are diagnosed with diseases such as polycystic disease, endometritis or uterine fibroids should not eat foods that contain flax. The same applies to pregnant and breastfeeding women.

Men who are at increased risk of prostate cancer should also avoid these foods as alpha-linolenic acid is contraindicated for them.
