Organic, Raw, Vegan, Brazil Nut, Coconut Yogurt
Today in the Ital Kitchen I am making Coconut, Brazil Nut Yogurt:) Three Cheers for homemade, nutrient rich yogurt. This is completely vegan, yet as creamy as your favorite dairy yogurt. I will explain why I culture this yogurt and why I am using the ingredients I do for your health in mind/heart.

It is cultured. This is one of the healthiest foods for the gut. When we eat this type of ferment we allow for the good bacteria in our gut to flourish. We feed the good guys and in return we get awesome digestion, glowing skin and nutrients get absorbed easier.

Brazil Nuts are the king of nuts. They have trace minerals like Selenium and Zinc. Do you know how many people are deficient in Selenium and Zinc? Alot! It also is rich in iron. Selenium has been known to help convert T4 to T3 hormone for healthy thyroid function. Zinc is a key player in hair health and so is iron. Iron also keeps us free of anemia, especially important for women and gives us energy/strength. Brazil nuts give us protein and because we soak them, we remove the enzyme inhibitors for easier digestion.

But we take it even further by culturing the nuts and coconut we now have an even easier time digesting and all nutrients are easily absorbed even in those with gut issues. The probiotics break down the fats into fatty acids for healthy skin and lubricated joints, the proteins into amino acids to rebuild you and keep you fit and the carbohydrates into energy. Wow! Now we are talking about a super food to write home about.
