An excellent combination of superfoods that we can prepare ourselves and consume especially in the cold season is CTIN with honey.
Unlike the traditional preparation, which is made from macerated CTIN fruits in honey, this one uses CTIN powder, which blends better with honey.
Honey with CTIN
The resulting paste is more pleasant in taste and easier to consume, even for children. Those who do not like the sour-bitter taste of CTIN berries can try this variant.
CTIN powder can be obtained from some health food stores, but it is more commonly found online.
CTIN Powder
The powder is obtained by grinding dried CTIN fruits naturally. From 6 kg of CTIN, about 1 kg of powder is produced.
This preparation helps strengthen the immune system. It has tonic and energizing effects, which is why it is recommended to be consumed in the first part of the day.
Honey with CTIN
CTIN has anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, nutritious, and healing properties. This paste can be useful for people suffering from:
- anemia
- anorexia
- asthenia
- stress
- digestive disorders
- circulatory problems
- liver diseases
CTIN provides a significant amount of nutrients to the body: vitamins A, C, E, B1, B2, B6, B9, K, F, and P. It is also rich in antioxidants (flavonoids and carotenoids), trace elements, and essential fatty acids.
Honey, in turn, is a good source of enzymes and organic acids, as well as minerals like calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, and B vitamins.
The consumption of CTIN has been associated with toning the cardiovascular system, combating inflammation, increasing intellectual capacity, enhancing physical endurance, preventing infections, combating fatigue and stress, protecting against radiation, and alleviating the side effects of chemotherapy.
CTIN Powder with Honey in a Jar
Any type of honey can be used. If the honey is crystallized or too solid, it can be warmed for a few seconds in a water bath to become liquid and easier to mix with the CTIN powder.
Fill a glass jar a quarter or halfway with CTIN powder and gradually add the liquid honey, mixing until a homogeneous paste is obtained, with the desired consistency, either thicker or more liquid.
It has a very pleasant sweet-sour taste and a consistency similar to that of jam.
You can take 1 tablespoon, 1-3 times a day. It has extraordinary vitaminizing and immune-stimulating effects. It can also be used as a sweet paste for pancakes or other homemade desserts.
