翌日早上,弄了藍莓櫻桃杏奶smoothie作為早餐飲品.
傍晚時分,用剩餘的做了藍莓批,那個買了一年多的迷你批焗盤終於可以開光.這個藍莓批用上改良了曲奇批底(沒有做酥皮,實在太肥),更試用了新買的玉米糖膠(Xanthan Gum),批饀內的果汁半凝固成果醬,效果超滿意,較街外買的味道更好,但糖份很低(因為食材新鮮又夠甜,不用加太多糖),是很健康又美味的飯後甜品.
夏天是多種有營生果的季節,大部分莓類都具有消炎和抗氧化的功效.早就聽聞過藍莓是有益的食品,但完全沒有去研究它為甚麼令身體更健康,直至讀完營養學,終於知道了一些皮毛,在此和大家分享一下.
藍莓是其中一種超高營養又低卡路里的超級食物(英文稱為Super Food).它含有維化命C和E,高纖維,鉀質和葉酸.研究證實它具有抗氧化,抗老化,提高認知能力,降低膽固醇,預防心臟病和癌症的功效,建議每天食用至少1/2杯.
