All the ingredients of this dish are very low in B6.
- 3 cups carrots, sliced and peeled
- 3 cups green beans, cleaned and trimmed
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- a pinch of salt
2. Add the green beans and steam for another 5-8 minutes, or until the carrots and beans are tender.
3. While the green beans and carrots are steaming, combine the orange juice, lemon juice, salt, and maple syrup in a bowl.
4. Add the cooked carrots and beans to the bowl with the sauce. Toss to coat, and serve.
Hi thomas, do you add rice to all of these dishes? is it a particular type of white rice or regular store bought par boiled?
ReplyDeleteIf i may add to that question, do you stick to a certain amount of rice per meal, like 50 grams cooked, or 100 grams? I see even white rice does have a decent amount of b6 and is often enriched. Sorry for all the questions Thomas...
ReplyDeleteHi Ross! I have eaten a lot of white rice during my recovery, as it was and still is one of my go-to foods. I often add it to other dishes (like this one). I buy big bags of Basmati rice, which to my knowledge is not enriched with B6, and cook it in 1 cup (dry) batches. Each batch lasts for 3-4 meals (so I guess I'm eating about 1/4-1/3 cup of dry rice at a time).
DeleteFrom what I understand, enriched rice is sprayed with nutrients, so rinsing the rice can remove at least some of the added vitamins. Rinsing your rice is generally a good idea.
By the way, two of my favorite rice dishes are (1) Spanish rice and (2) steamed rice with tofu and stir-fried vegetables (celery, water chestnuts, Chinese cabbage, carrot).
Hope that helps!
This helps a lot thank you!!!
