| MACRO FACTS
Spiced Butternut Bisque
Butternut squash, pumpkins and onions are considered “round” or “ground” vegetables in macrobiotics, and are thought to support digestion and help regulate blood sugar. The sweet, warming nature of these hearty fall crops offers a stabilizing and grounding energy that prepares us for the cooler months ahead.
Hearty Root Vegetable Stew
Growing deep into the earth, root vegetables such as carrots, burdock and lotus are enriched with strong “yang” energy. These vegetables supply tenacity, strength and endurance to keep us healthy and energized throughout the fall and winter.
Wasabi Sweet Potato Salad
Pungent, spicy foods such as wasabi help support the lungs and large intestines, and are recommended during autumn to help nourish these organs. When paired with sweet Japanese potatoes, this tasty salad becomes the perfect seasonal dish.
Azuki Bean & Watercress Salad
Small Japanese azuki beans and peppery watercress are extremely nutrient-dense foods. They help replenish the body after the long, hot summer. These ingredients combined with sweet round and root vegetables are seasoned with a pungent horseradish dressing. The overall effect is a grounding energy with a sweet and pungent taste that is a healthful and delicious transition into winter.
Kabocha Cous-Cous
Sweet, and nutrient-dense, Kabocha squash supports healthy digestive function and helps to regulate blood sugar. When combined with steamed cous-cous and raisins, the result is a deliciously satisfying sweet dish that offers a soothing and sustaining energy.
Kukicha Kola
Our own blend of aromatic roots, herbs and spices are combined with the twigs and branches from the green tea plant to create a refreshing, grounding and energetically balanced beverage with rich flavors reminiscent of cola, root beer, and sarsaparilla. Because no green tea leaves are used, Kukicha Kola is virtually caffeine-free!
