Make
Your Own Nut Butters
Using Australia's most-affordable
Cold-press Juicer: The Compact Juicer
Nut
butters are high in protein, nutrients and unsaturated fats, low
in saturated fats, and, of course, no cholesterol or trans fatty
acids - they make important allies in decreasing the risk of heart
disease.

From
Wikipedia: This mix of Linseed (Flaxseed), Sunflower and Almond
(LSA) provides essential fatty acids, soluble fibre and other nutrients.
The LSA mix is prepared by simply grinding up 3 parts Linseed, 2 parts Sunflower
seed, and one part Almond. It has been adopted in many dietary plans, and can
be purchased ready-ground from many supermarkets, typically in 500 gram (pound)
or 1 kilogram (2 pound) bags, or as a bulk food. It is usually sprinkled on
or mixed into other foods.
The LSA mix was originally developed by Drs Frederick (deceased)
and Noreen Steed in 1980. Dr Fred Steed promoted the method in his
clinic "Nature's
Health Centre" at Coffs Harbour, NSW, Australia and also while
lecturing at various seminars in Australia in the early 1980s. He
promoted LSA as a breakfast food,
recommending it be mixed with fruit in place of cereals.
Macadamia
Nut Butter
Mmmmm
... macadamia nut butter. It has a "sweet", "buttery" taste
and texture. You add nothing to it. It's just raw freshly ground
macadamias. It can be described as very smooth and having a mellow
flavor. It doesn't have any bite or strong flavor. Macadamia nut
butter is a great, far more delicious alternative to peanut butter
and a good addition to ice cream. It's easily spreadable for sandwiches,
snacks/appetisers and is an excellent addition to recipes. It's
also a wonderful complement to jams, chocolate and crackers. Macadamia
Nut Butter is particularly known for thiamin, protein, flavenoids
(may help reduce the risk
of some cancers and heart disease), and omega 3 (thought to reduce
the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure).
Handy
Tips:
Homogenise
a handful of nuts at a time. Soak
hard nuts (i.e. almonds, brazil nuts etc) overnight
and feed slowly. .
Welcome to the World's most affordable
single-gear Cold-Press LIVING Juicer!
What sets the
Compact Juicer apart from other juicers?
The new Compact uses minimal bench space - as the name suggests. The low RPM
(75-85) of the Compact and the gentle crushing and squeezing process is similar
to a Cold-Press method, therefore generating minimal friction heat.
What about the
Quality of the Juice?
Your juice can retain up to 60% more
nutrients than conventional juicers and the valuable enzymes remain
alive. The Live Enzymes aid your digestion and help your body absorb
nutrients, boost your energy levels and immune system.
Most juicers
require that you drink the juice immediately. Is it the same for
the Compact Juicer?
As an added bonus, your juice remains
stable, nutritious and fresh for up to 48 hours. The juice may be
stored in a sealed container in the fridge.
Is the Compact
Juicer just a juicer? Or can it do anything else?
What sets the new Compact multi-purpose
juicer/mincer apart from regular juicers is that it can juice just
about anything including wheatgrass. It will grind coffee beans,
make nut butters, homus, pesto, salsa, dressings, dips, baby food,
pasta and frozen desserts. It even has a completely separate mincing
attachment that will professionally mince meat, chicken and fish
as well as a sausage-making nozzle.
When I'm in
my local cafe I'm often disturbed by the noise of the juicing machines
they use. What's the volume level of the Compact Juicer?
You won't believe how quiet the machine
runs and how easy it is to clean, making it one of the most versatile
and best value kitchen appliances available today.
