Kitchen Medicine: Prebiotics from Herbal Roots
Digestion is foundational to our health and well-being. Today we focus on herbal roots that provide inulin. This prebiotic is vital to keeping the friendly microbes in our body happy as well as our digestion. And then I’m back in the kitchen to make super easy electuaries with powdered roots. 🍠🍯
Herbal Root Prebiotic Electuaries
1 1/2 parts (1 1/2 tsp) dried burdock root powder
1 part (1 tsp) dried dandelion root powder
1 1/2 parts (1 1/2 tsp) dried chicory root, powder
1 1/2 parts (1 1/2 tsp) dried marshmallow root powder
1 part (1 tsp) cacao powder
1/8 part (1/8 tsp) dried ginger powder
2 1/2 parts (2 1/2 tsp) organic maple syrup (approximately)
Grind herbs in a spice grinder to a fine powder. Mix all ingredients together, adding the maple syrup gradually to form a thick paste. With hands roll into 1/4 inch round, small balls.
