I got my new Clean Eating Cookbook yesterday. These recipes seem like they are all leaning into the use of coconut butter and oil the same as the latest clean eating magazine. Funny, I always thought coconut oil was not so healthy and now things seem to have changed. Also there is another variety of sugar/cane juice whatever sweetener. I have been doing a lot of reading up on these. It seems Demerera cane sugar is pretty much the same as Sugar in the Raw. The latest rapadura is just another method of processing cane juice. Different countries have differing names for these. Sucanat is ground finer. Brown sugar has the molasses added back after making it into the sugar. I guess that makes it more healthy than sugar. Anyway it all seems to come down to cane sugars all being similar but having different processes and some having more mineral content left in them. Muscovado(sp) being the strongest flavor and not so good for sweetening coffee or tea. Also, where am I going to find gogi berries? I read up on them though and if you are on a blood thinner they are not a good idea. There is a lifestyle bar in the new clean eating cookbook that calls for these. I saw them in the picture and had bought dried raspberries at the nutrition center but what I read discribes them as being like raisins. I have to check out what the new so called healthy food items are. Would love it if anyone else has something to share.
