Cilantro Pesto

I love making this easy Cilantro Pesto. It is chock full of magnesium as you can see when you read this article by Sayer Ji who's website is http://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/magnesiums-importance-far-greater-previously-imagined?utm_source=www.GreenMedInfo.com&utm_campaign=bfcccb98e2-Greenmedinfo&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_193c8492fb-bfcccb98e2-86776633
It is amazing how much magnesium brazil nuts and pumpkin seeds have. I make this all winter long buying organic cilantro when I can. In the summer I use basil, cilantro and parsley that I grow in pots on an old picnic table.

Toxic Metal Cleansing

Cilantro is most often cited as being effective for toxic metal cleansing and rightfully so, this herb is a powerful, natural cleansing agent. The chemical compounds in cilantro bind to toxic metals and loosen them from the tissue. Many people suffering from mercury exposure report a reduction in the often-cited feeling of disorientation after consuming large and regular amounts of cilantro over an extended period.

Grow Your Own

If you have not ventured into growing your own food, an herb garden is a fantastic project to begin with. Herbs are easy to grow, don’t need a lot of space. Plus, that’s a great category to save a few bucks at the grocery store on. Organic herb bunches are always at least a few dollars and sometimes large portions can go unused. Cilantro is really easy to grow and it’s ultra convenient to have your own organic plant growing for your use.



CILANTRO  CHELATION PESTO
2 cloves garlic
1/3 cup Brazil nuts (selenium, magnesium)
1/3 cup sunflower seeds (cysteine)
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds (zinc, magnesium)
2 cups packed fresh cilantro (Vitamin A)
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons lemon juice (Vitamin C)
Process the cilantro and olive oil in a blender until the cilantro is chipped. Add the garlic, nuts, and seeds, and lemon juice and mix until the mixture is finely blended into a paste.  It freezes well, so garden grown cilantro in season can be used up. Fill enough jars to last through the year.

Healthy life.
