But the best of all is that you will have a simple, quick recipe that you can use both to relieve colds and isotonic drink for athletes for its revitalizing properties.

But without a doubt its properties go further and we They help against an excess of sugar and alcohol. So keep this recipe in a privileged place because very difficult dates are approaching for any diet.

Do you want to know more about Ume sho kuzu?

A few years ago, before globalization, we did not know the Home Remedies that they used in Japan. We had enough with our grandmother's reprimands or those of our older neighbor.

But in recent years, the way of seeing the world has changed and today we benefit from everything the good that the planet offers us whether produced in the east or west, near, far or at the antipodes.

With this recipe I am not trying to make an ode to foreign products or traditions. I only taste the best of each culture and, if it convinces me, I try to incorporate it into my diet. And so I'm evolving slowly.

But let's get back to our Ume sho kuzu drink. As I said before, you have only three ingredients that I present below:

Umeboshi: These fermented Japanese plums have a salty and sour taste that characterizes them. They have proven antibiotic and antiseptic qualities.

Also, traditionally, they are used as natural reinforcement of the immune system since they have the ability to alkalize our system which helps us improve our health.

Shoyu: is the soy sauce Japanese par excellence. Nothing to do with the ones we buy in the supermarket. Its fermentation is cared for with care. The result is highly alkalizing food.

Kuzu: it is the starch of the root of the plant pueraria lobata. If you have an intolerance to gluten and you like to make your own dough at home, surely you have already heard about their thickening properties.

By the way, speaking of celiac disease and gluten intolerance. Remember that if you want this suitable recipe for them you just have to change the shoyu for good quality tamari.

In our cookbook we have various remedies against colds y colds but I like this drink because It's salty. So, whatever your tastes, you have a recipe for help at your fingertips.

In addition, since it does not contain honey, it is a fantastic alternative. suitable for vegans.

Although this drink has very particular properties, it must be taken into account that no food is miraculous. So I recommend that if you have any disease, whether chronic or not, you consult the specialists first.

And, above all, I recommend that you bring one balance diet because it is just as bad to have an acid as an alkaline organism. Extremes were never good !!
