My SO and I have great conversation and I can ask him anything no matter how strange it is and he never thinks I’m a nut. We were sitting on the couch and I was eating a handful of snow peas – raw – just munching on them and I said “are peas a fruit or a veggie?” because I remembered hearing that if it has seeds it’s a fruit and I believed the pea part is the seed and therefore it’s technically a fruit. I was correct. But he always googles my silly questions to find answers for me and I love this. Then I was asking about lentils – I think that was it. Anyhow I googled my next question (I don’t remember the question I just remember where it lead me) and it lead me to the topic of Complete Protein.
Reading about different beans and what level of protein they all have and how rice and beans combined make a complete protein because of the different enzymes together etc. was fascinating to me. I still don’t feel like I totally understand (so if you do, please comment and help me also understand). In my search I saw that Spirulina is a complete protein and in-fact and very high amount of it.
I see green drink mixes and stuff and Henry’s and Sprouts and places I frequent but I’m a weirdo about drinking stuff that I know has “weird” things in it. Even if it tastes good I can convince myself it’s like medicine or gritty etc – even if it’s not. I’m strange and I accept this. So I picked up tablets of Spirulina. They are 500mg and says to take 6 a day with food. I’m going to start at 3, 1 at every meal and see how I feel before I up it. Mostly because I need to get some paychecks before I get crazy with this kind of thing. But now I’m curious what other forms of spirulina there are and which is best.
I’m off to investigate.
I also made a veggie burger wrap the other night I was gonna post about but I wasn’t a fan of it. Maybe I should post the brand info so you know which one I don’t like. It’s from Costco.
