The last few weeks have been extremely challenging. I praise the Lord for quick food. A filling sandwich on a busy day is a great option when time is moving faster than normal. This burger was created out of the need to not waste my carrot pulp (or any pulp that I can use for that matter). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I freeze my pulp after juicing. I have bags of carrot pulp in my freezer. At times I have beet pulp in a bag too or beet juice in a bottle. Yes, I freeze my beet juice too. *smile* Don’t worry, I usually use everything I freeze within a two week period. I definitely use it up by months end. When thawed, my beet juice basically looks and tastes as fresh as the day I juiced it. I usually freeze it right away. Also, I only freeze about 2-4 ounces of beet juice; so I know I will use that up quickly. I may store my beet pulp for much longer. There are best practices when you’re doing something like this too, so do your research (See the article regarding freezing your juices from Raw Juice Cleanse recipes<\/a>). Tip:<\/strong> If you’re out of beet juice for this recipe, replace it with 1\/4 cup of beet pulp. I use what I have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, this burger is made with all non-stimulating spices. Normally, chili powder has a stimulating spice in it, but not this one. The recipe is on the blog and linked in the ingredient list below. It is not as hot as you may be used to tasting, but I truly love it! If you want to add fresh garlic, please go ahead! I would add about a couple tablespoons of minced garlic, but then again, I love garlic. I wish I had a year around garden of that stuff. *smile* <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog, I’ll highlight the nutritional benefits of onions. In other posts, I’ve included information on carrots, eggplant, and bell peppers; so, in this post I’m going to focus on the powerful health benefits of that vegetable that is known to make many people produce uncontrollable tears just by cutting into it. Onions help relieve asthma, angina, bacterial infections, common cold, cough, earaches, respiratory problems, and tooth decay.  They are also great for immune and cardiovascular health.  Onions contain vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B6, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium and more!  It has quercetin, which is a powerful flavonoid, or plant pigment, with a wide range of health benefits due to its potent antioxidants. Onion are extremely powerful! (Read about these benefits for yourself in the articles from Vegetarian Nutrition<\/a> and Health Benefit Times<\/a>. Also, Tell It To The World<\/a>, a youth ministry, which is part of Saved to Serve\/Prophesy Again Ministries<\/a>, produced a short “Health Hack<\/strong>” video over the summer on “If I had an onion, I could<\/a><\/strong><\/em> …<\/a><\/strong>,<\/a>” which is worth checking out too! Enjoy that and learn a few things along the way to maintain, or improve, your health!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
