Grilled Fruit and Veggie Ideas

Blog Recipes, Food, Health, Lifestyle, Lunch Recipes, Main Course Recipes, Miscellaneous Recipes, Nutrition, Seasonal Produce, Vegetarian Recipes / Deanna Simone

For grilled vegetables, our belief is you never know what you are going to find unless you try. It’s amazing how well most vegetables will grill and how their flavours change. The obvious zucchini, eggplant, grilled pepper medley is common on most grills. We love to add in fresh asparagus, portabello and oyster mushrooms and green onions to add some variety and texture. For your grilled peppers, add in 1 to 2 new varieties – for sweetness, try a cubanelle, or for some heat, try a banana pepper.

Sauerkraut is healthy for many reasons, including its exceptionally high content of L-glutamine. L-glutamine is an amino acid that is excellent for your digestive system. In fact studies have shown that it helps to heal the gut lining. Cabbage juice is an old home remedy for stomach ulcers. Why does your gut need so much L-glutamine?
