With the presence of flaxseed and tahini among the ingredients, the recipe offers great health benefits!
At first glance, crayon is not such a healthy food. However, with the right ingredients and preparation method, it is possible to make a nutritious and healthy version, as is done with heart of palm protein pasta prepared by nutritionist Fernanda Esquitino, of the Instituto Nutrindo Idealis, in Rio de Janeiro.
While the presence of tahini is a source of vegan protein in the filling, the golden flaxseed flour that goes into the dough provides vitamins, minerals and good fats, as well as helping with menopause symptoms and hormone regulation, according to the professionist.
Also, if the heart of palm flavor isn’t your favorite, you can replace it with options like shredded chicken or beef, in the same amounts listed.
