I’ve got a delicious, alkaline recipe for you today that is actually easier to prepare than the traditional, acidic version.
And WHY is this bad? Because all grains, not matter which way you look at it, have the ability to become contaminated with Aspergillus Fungus, a cancer-causing mycotoxin which we need to avoid like the plague.
Not to mention, gluten and grains are highly inflammatory, and one of the top causes of Leaky Gut!
So why not swap that gluten-containing grain for quinoa, which is actually a SEED (not a grain)! Quinoa is a complete plant-based protein, and packs in far more nutrients and less acid!
Combine that with the rest of the ingredients in traditional tabouli and you have a tasty, alkaline, satisfying side dish for any lunch or dinner. This keeps well in the fridge for a few days too, so make enough for leftovers. You’re going to want them!

There’s no counting calories or limiting portion sizes, only a newawareness of ‘alkaline eating.’ Once you learn the difference between alkaline and acidic ingredients, you will know what to eat and will be able to benefit from keeping this balance in your bodies.
