Cooking with Superfoods in the Kitchen and Bathroom

A fascinating and under-explored aspect of nutrition books is the incredible versatility of tropical superfoods in both the kitchen and cosmetic fields. Josie K highlights products like shea butter, known for its moisturizing properties but also used in cooking. In West Africa, for instance, shea butter is a key ingredient in traditional dishes, adding a creamy texture and healthy fats to meals.

With this practical guide, you can rethink your cooking habits. After all, nutrition isn’t just about taste; it’s primarily about health. So why not combine the two?

Ecology, Local Consumption… How Can We Address These Questions?

Moreover, buying tropical superfoods isn’t necessarily harmful to the environment. When thinking about “food from afar,” we often assume that its transportation has a negative impact. However, products like oils or plant-based powders require fewer resources for preservation. While it may not be perfect, this type of diet “pollutes” less in certain areas compared to others. Supporting small local producers also helps preserve biodiversity in often overlooked countries. Investing in these foods means supporting the economy and farmers, while also treating yourself to something beneficial.
