00:01 Have you ever wondered
00:02 exactly how to prepare healthy food
00:04 that actually taste good.
00:05 Well, stay tuned while Evita Tezeno
00:07 and your truly Nyse Collins
00:09 show you just how to do it
00:10 and give you something better,
00:12 A Taste of Paradise.
00:30 Welcome to A Taste of Paradise.
00:32 My name is Evita Tezeno,
00:34 and today we're going to make something yummy,
00:39 and warming raw chili.
00:44 And I have a special guest with me today, Monique.
00:48 Welcome.
00:50 Thank you so much for having me.
00:51 I am really excited about being on the program today.
00:54 Good. Good.
00:56 Well, we're gonna be making some raw chili today, so...
00:58 Well, I love chili
00:59 but I can't believe that it's gonna be raw,
01:01 how do you make a...
01:03 And it's gonna be all vegan, no animal products at all.
01:06 No meat? No meat.
01:07 No beans? No beans.
01:09 Okay. Yeah!
01:10 Well, let's get started, I'm excited.
01:11 Could be chunky.
01:51 And the meatiness of the chili is the sundried tomato.
01:57 Okay.
01:58 So that's what gives it the texture...
01:59 The texture of...
02:01 Yeah, the texture of chili. Okay.
02:02 Now, how do you do?
02:03 Did you make those sundried tomatoes or do you...
02:05 No, you buy them in a store. Okay.
02:07 And they come really dried and hard
02:10 and you have to soak them overnight
02:12 and this is the water that we saved.
02:14 Okay.
02:15 So it turns the water dark red.
02:16 Okay. Yeah.
02:18 So that's what that tomato soaked water...
02:19 Exact, exactly.
02:22 So this is what we want to start off with is this
02:25 because we want to break this down a little bit.
02:26 Okay.
02:27 And it takes a little, a little bit to break it down.
02:30 And we're using food processor today.
02:32 Okay.
02:45 So we want to break it down, still it's totally chunky.
02:48 Okay, I see. Yes.
02:49 It does kind of look like the base of chili.
02:51 Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah.
02:53 And I love tomatoes so.
02:54 I think I'm gonna really enjoy this.
02:56 Exactly.
02:57 So we want to add all the rest of our ingredients
03:00 except for the avocados.
03:01 Okay.
03:03 The avocados will be...
03:04 We'll stir the avocados in and that gives it that fat.
03:08 Okay, the healthy fat. The healthy fat.
03:09 Okay.
03:11 But, you know, chili has that kind of fat
03:12 greasy kind of taste
03:14 and the avocado gives it that kind of fat.
03:16 Now, can you do it without the avocado,
03:18 I'm not a fan of avocado,
03:20 it depends on how it's used but can you do without,
03:22 or the avocado is kind of an essential.
03:23 No, you can do without,
03:25 I guess if you want that still kind of oily taste,
03:28 you could add a little olive oil.
03:30 Okay.
03:32 Yeah, yeah, you can do that.
03:34 And if you don't want the sting of the jalapeno,
03:39 you could, you could add a little cayenne.
03:40 Okay.
03:42 But, you know, I like spicy.
03:43 I like a little heat too.
03:44 I like the little heat to it too.
03:46 Yeah, it's nice.
03:47 And use lots of great herbs,
03:49 I think that sometimes people think
03:50 when you eat raw that you just eat salad
03:52 or just eat things bland,
03:54 but I see that you use lots of great herbs
03:55 and spices in your...
03:57 My last name is Tezeno so I have a Creole background.
03:59 Okay.
04:00 And so, I love lots of flavor in my food.
04:03 I did too. Yes.
04:05 So I'm adding chili powder which is...
04:08 The chili plus the jalapenos.
04:10 Yes, and cumin
04:13 which is the essential rest
04:16 ingredient in all chili recipes.
04:18 And fresh garlic which gives it that
04:22 really nice kick also as well.
04:24 I like garlic,
04:26 I think garlic is great base for most ingredients.
04:30 And garlic is also very, very good for you as well.
04:33 Yeah.
04:35 So we're pressing the garlic here.
04:38 And we were also reserving the tomatoes till last
04:41 because we want to...
04:42 We want to keep those little firm.
04:43 Little firm as well.
04:49 So we just want to pulse this.
04:57 So starting...
04:58 Oh, I see the way it's very colorful.
05:00 Yes, very, very colorful.
05:04 And then we add the salt
05:09 and then the tomatoes.
05:12 And these are Roma tomatoes, I like these,
05:15 because they don't have a lot of water in it.
05:17 Okay.
05:18 That's my favorite tomato at the grocery store.
05:19 And the flavor...
05:21 I like Roma. Yeah.
05:23 Roma tomatoes have more flavor.
05:36 So this is...
05:38 This is really, really good. Really good.
05:40 So we get a bowl.
05:44 And a lot of people say,
05:46 "How do I cut open the avocado,
05:48 because they have a hard time doing it."
05:51 And you just run it.
05:52 Run it around, nice and straight around.
05:54 Yeah, round.
05:55 And you take the knife and you put it in
05:57 and you just turn it
05:59 and the seed comes out like that.
06:00 Okay. That's really easy.
06:01 Real simple, really, really simple.
06:04 So if you would hold the bowl. Okay.
06:09 I'm gonna add the chili mixture.
06:15 It smells really good, I smell all those herbs,
06:18 I smell the cumin in there and the cayenne
06:22 has a very nice fresh smell aroma.
06:30 That looks really good.
06:33 We cut up our avocado.
06:41 Now avocados are good, good healthy fat
06:44 and it's good for your skin.
06:49 How long have you been cooking raw?
06:52 Three years. Three years, okay.
06:55 Yeah, I had a friend that was suffering from fibroids
07:00 and her naturopath doctor told her
07:03 that it would be great for her to go raw.
07:06 Really?
07:07 And she said, "Evita, I don't know how to cook.
07:09 I don't know how to make food."
07:12 And I, you know, being a vegan chef,
07:15 I knew how to do,
07:17 you know, different recipes vegan.
07:19 But I didn't know how to do raw.
07:21 So I just basically got on YouTube
07:24 and start studying
07:25 and looking at tons and tons of videos.
07:28 And then I started going to different raw meet up groups...
07:32 Okay.
07:33 And bringing my recipes.
07:35 And so happened that
07:40 there was a person that owns a raw food restaurant
07:43 that was in the city was there and they asked me to come
07:47 and work at the restaurant.
07:48 Wow.
07:49 And I worked there a year. Wow!
07:51 That's a divine appointment.
07:52 I know was definitely a divine appointment...
07:54 That's wonderful.
07:55 And I learned so much while I was there.
07:57 Yeah, I can imagine.
07:58 And now I cook for people personally,
08:03 I'm a personal chef for people.
08:04 Okay.
08:06 And I work with people that have cancer.
08:08 Okay.
08:09 And different things like that with juicing and sprouting.
08:11 Okay. Yeah.
08:13 It's wonderful.
08:14 So if you would add that last avocado
08:17 while I clean my hands.
08:21 I want to make sure I get everything out of here.
08:22 Okay.
08:24 You have to have cut this last one up right here.
08:29 And you could cut the avocado smaller
08:32 if you want but I like it chunky.
08:34 Okay.
08:37 You don't even have to put the avocado in
08:39 but that's one of my favorite things
08:42 to do is to have avocado.
08:44 You know, I'm trying to eat more raw
08:45 and more fresh ingredients,
08:47 and I think that one thing that I've learned
08:48 personally is that when you go to the grocery store,
08:51 just spend more time in the produce aisle...
08:52 Exactly.
08:54 You know, instead of going straight to the canned products
08:55 and the box ingredients, you know, you know box,
08:58 just go to the produce aisle and make a commitment to,
09:00 you know, that most of my budget today will be, you know,
09:03 fresh and green...
09:04 And that's what's wrong with our diet is
09:07 we eat so much processed foods
09:09 and we're not getting nutrient rich foods.
09:12 And that's what the raw diet does.
09:14 It gives you nutrient rich foods.
09:17 Right.
09:18 Because it's pulling from the earth
09:20 which has so many mineral and vitamins in it.
09:22 And when you cook food for too long,
09:24 it takes away a lot of those ingredients.
09:25 It kills it, it basically kills it,
09:27 because when you see broccoli and it's green
09:29 and then you see the other broccoli that's cooked...
09:31 Yes.
09:32 It's totally different. Totally different.
09:34 Totally different color.
09:35 Yes, so you shouldn't cook food.
09:37 If you, if you cook food, you should just steam it.
09:39 Right.
09:40 Yeah and it is still crunchy. Yeah.
09:43 Instead of eating it soft and salty.
09:44 And you get all the enzymes and vitamins.
09:46 Exactly, exactly.
09:48 So we're gonna plate this.
09:50 Okay, that looks really good.
09:56 This is a raw chili.
09:57 It's a raw chili.
09:59 Now you can eat this with chips like...
10:01 And crackers.
10:03 And crackers and you made some crackers
10:05 in another program that were really good.
10:06 Yes, I did.
10:08 And that's another thing was amazing to me that these,
10:09 you know, raw you can still have crackers...
10:11 You can still have crackers
10:13 and you can have breads and you don't have to...
10:18 it has...
10:19 it can be limited.
10:21 You have a lot of different recipes you can use
10:25 and it just doesn't have to be all salad.
10:27 Right, right.
10:28 I want to do a challenge like a raw food challenge
10:31 where I just do raw for like 21 days or 14 days
10:35 or something like that
10:36 and I think that would help jumpstart, you know,
10:39 a lifestyle, healthy lifestyle and just, you know,
10:42 make forcing myself to...
10:43 Yeah, I did a raw challenge for 90 days and it was,
10:47 it was so wonderful I did it with a girlfriend
10:50 and we shared recipes
10:52 and we planned our menu every week.
10:55 And it was great,
10:56 it is good to have a support system.
10:58 Oh, I would love that. Yeah.
10:59 So we might have to do this.
11:00 Wouldn't that be fantastic, yes.
11:02 Yes, that would be good. Thank you, I love that.
11:04 Well, this looks really delicious.
11:05 And thank you so much
11:07 for joining me on the set today.
11:08 Oh, it was my pleasure, it's my pleasure.
11:10 Thank you for having me. Yeah, good.
11:12 This has been Evita Tezeno
11:14 and remember to live life fresh.
11:26 Cut your cholesterol,
11:27 everybody is going crazy
11:29 the cholesterol too high, cholesterol too low.
11:31 Nobody knows what to do,
11:33 they say there are many silent killers out there
11:35 but when you think of a silent killer,
11:37 you think of high blood pressure,
11:38 but I'm here to change that a little bit.
11:41 I don't consider high blood pressure a silent killer, why?
11:43 Because at least with high blood pressure
11:45 when it starts going up, you start getting a what?
11:47 A headache, your eyesight starts going blurry,
11:49 you get dizzy so many signs and symptoms,
11:52 but when we come to cholesterol,
11:54 there is like really no major sign of symptoms.
11:57 Do you know what
11:58 the first sign of symptom is of high cholesterol?
12:01 It is in general a heart attack.
12:04 So I'm going to change that,
12:05 I consider cholesterol the silent killer,
12:08 but I'm going to ask one of my buddies here,
12:10 I'm going to call it a toothless tiger
12:13 because cholesterol is not going to hurt anybody,
12:15 actually it's pretty good for you.
12:17 You need cholesterol, cholesterol is necessary.
12:20 It make strong healthy bones,
12:21 help with the production of hormones,
12:23 this thing cholesterol actually protects the arteries,
12:26 this thing is amazing.
12:27 But the problem is when we get too much of it,
12:30 then people start having, you know, a couple of issues,
12:32 but today we're gonna show you how to cut your cholesterol.
12:35 We're not gonna come with no secret remedy
12:36 or anything of that nature, we're just going to educate.
12:38 SanareLife our goal is to educate
12:40 and via education people will be restored.
12:43 And when we look at cholesterol everybody knows, you know,
12:47 what are your numbers and all of that nature.
12:49 You know consult with your doctors
12:51 and stuff and work with them on that,
12:53 but we are going to show you
12:54 how there are some simple things,
12:56 simple things that we can do
12:58 to watch out on that elevation of the cholesterol
13:01 but we don't want to cut it all out altogether.
13:03 We just want to balance it,
13:05 almost like balancing our blessings, right.
13:07 But when we look at it people say,
13:08 "Well, cholesterol isn't this and cholesterol isn't that."
13:12 Well, let's answer some questions here today.
13:14 You need it but you don't have to eat it is what they say,
13:18 so what foods would contain a cholesterol?
13:20 Well, we can look at...
13:23 First we have to look at
13:24 where does the cholesterol come from?
13:26 Do you know that cholesterol is manufactured in your liver?
13:30 That's right.
13:31 It is manufactured in your liver
13:32 that's why if you notice these commercials
13:34 that show you about medications to lower your cholesterol
13:37 and you'll see a gentleman he'll say,
13:39 "My doctor told me my cholesterol was high,
13:42 but as soon as I started taking this medication
13:44 my life changed."
13:46 And he...
13:47 Now you see this guy running, he's playing tennis.
13:48 He's driving sports car.
13:50 Him and his wife is having a good time
13:51 and you're like man,
13:52 "Can I get some of that medication?"
13:54 His whole life changed but...
13:56 While he's doing all of these things real quietly,
13:59 you hear something in the background.
14:00 He's driving, he's playing sports,
14:02 you hear this, if you have any problem,
14:03 any problems which are liver dysfunction
14:06 please consult your physician before taking this medication.
14:08 But you missed it,
14:09 because all you're concentrating on
14:11 is that fast sports car, him fishing
14:13 and him and his wife having a good time,
14:15 but they just taught you which organ manufactures it
14:18 and what will happen with that medication,
14:20 that's why when a person is taking
14:22 a cholesterol lowering medication,
14:23 they have to go back to the doctor
14:24 and they have to check their what?
14:26 Their liver every three to six months.
14:28 Liver profile test, liver functioning test.
14:30 So watch this now,
14:32 so we just learned today, that what?
14:34 That your cholesterol is manufactured
14:37 by the what?
14:38 By the liver.
14:40 So here's a little rule of thumb okay,
14:41 we got to live by rule of thumb principles
14:43 that we should follow.
14:45 If it's manufactured by the liver,
14:46 let's look at this.
14:48 Anything that has a lever maybe
14:50 'cause of something that has a liver,
14:51 maybe is related to something that has a liver.
14:54 One person said, if it has a face
14:56 or has a mama or is a mushroom it will always have what in it?
15:01 It will always have cholesterol okay,
15:03 but let's just explain this just a little bit more, okay.
15:06 So these things have cholesterol,
15:08 anything that has a liver concern that of a liver
15:10 maybe is related to something that has a liver face, mother
15:13 or even if it's a mushroom ever have,
15:14 but the mushroom don't worry about that,
15:16 it's so, it's so insignificant.
15:18 It's not nutritionally per se affect you.
15:23 So let's look at this. Here's the test.
15:25 I think everybody got this, all right.
15:27 I'm going to come.
15:28 You ready for the first test question
15:30 to see if we learned our lesson today.
15:33 Avocado, okay, here's our first test.
15:37 Avocado, what is this avocado?
15:39 If you don't know what I'm talking about here,
15:41 I'm talking about pear.
15:42 Some people call it pear in a Caribbean
15:44 and certain other places they call it Zaboca, all right.
15:48 And, you know, in French may even say,
15:51 Avocat or something of that nature.
15:53 The Latinos will probably say Ahuacate.
15:56 In Texas, you know, in Texas,
15:58 we don't even know where it come from,
16:00 we just call it guacamole.
16:01 And that's what I'm talking about.
16:02 I'm talking about the avocado okay.
16:05 So here is our first question today.
16:07 Our first question is,
16:09 does the avocado have cholesterol?
16:13 Does the avocado have cholesterol?
16:15 Everybody writes your answers now please,
16:16 write your answers real quick.
16:18 Write it, write it, write it. All right, here it is.
16:20 Does avocado have cholesterol?
16:22 Everybody that says it has cholesterol, all right,
16:24 if you say...
16:26 Wait, wait, let's go.
16:27 Let me change it up.
16:29 Who says it has no cholesterol,
16:31 raise your hand, raise your hand,
16:32 don't worry, I can possibly see you,
16:34 but raise your hand.
16:35 If you say no cholesterol, no it's just avocado,
16:37 no cholesterol, raise your hand.
16:39 All right, and write it down, write it down.
16:41 All right, number two.
16:42 Who says that...
16:44 Yes, it does have cholesterol, okay.
16:48 No, not just any cholesterol.
16:50 Who says it has the good cholesterol,
16:51 raise you hand,
16:53 let me see you, let me see you,
16:54 raise your hand, all right, write it down.
16:56 All right, now watch out for those people
16:58 who didn't raise their hand for yes or no.
17:00 Those are the tricky people,
17:01 those are the people they will smile on your face
17:03 and then when you're not around,
17:04 they will say something else about you right,
17:06 no, I'm just kidding.
17:07 But those are probably the people
17:08 who just don't know.
17:10 Who don't know, raise your hand, okay.
17:11 All right, so, let's go over this real quick.
17:14 Avocado, does it have a liver?
17:18 Okay, maybe it comes from something that has a liver.
17:24 Does it? Yes or no.
17:25 Maybe it's related to something that has a liver, okay.
17:30 Does it have a mama?
17:32 Does it have a face?
17:34 Or is it a mushroom?
17:37 Okay, now in general
17:38 all of the answers to those questions are what?
17:41 No, none of the above.
17:44 It doesn't have a liver,
17:45 doesn't come from something that have a liver.
17:47 It doesn't...
17:48 it's not related to something that has a liver,
17:49 doesn't have a momma or a face, I remember,
17:51 I was in one little island and one lady said,
17:53 "Yes, it has cholesterol."
17:56 And I said, "Why?"
17:57 Then she says, "It has a face."
17:58 I said, "What do you mean it has a face."
18:00 She says, "When we cut the face of the pear..."
18:02 Now that was just a little accent that she shared it in,
18:05 and what she meant is that
18:06 I was looking for the eyes or something of that nature,
18:08 but she meant the front part of the pear
18:11 or the avocado, okay.
18:13 But no, there's no face,
18:14 no nose, or anything like that.
18:16 So let me share something with you all,
18:17 this is like breathtaking,
18:18 avocado actually has zero cholesterol.
18:22 Let me share with you what it actually does.
18:24 It actually lowers your cholesterol.
18:27 What?
18:28 But they told me,
18:30 they told me it has cholesterol.
18:32 That's why we don't live by he says, she says,
18:34 study to show who?
18:35 Yourself approved.
18:37 Don't even take my word for it.
18:38 Go and study it.
18:40 It actually lowers your cholesterol.
18:41 How can something that has cholesterol
18:42 lower your cholesterol, it just doesn't make sense.
18:45 And I hope I don't have enough time to share
18:47 why and all of this stuff,
18:48 but it doesn't have any cholesterol
18:50 and it's actually good for persons
18:52 who are dealing with anemia.
18:54 And a reason why it lowers the cholesterol
18:56 'cause it has what is known as a.k.a.
18:58 soluble fiber,
19:00 soluble fiber which goes ahead and hinders that cholesterol
19:03 from doing its thing or a excess cholesterol
19:06 so enjoy the avocado however in moderation, in moderation.
19:10 But what avocados do have, they are high in fat, okay.
19:14 No cholesterol but high in what?
19:16 High in fat.
19:18 Now fat needs to be broken down
19:19 and a soap of the body is what?
19:22 What, what is the soap of the body?
19:24 It's called bile.
19:25 If you ever went in a garden and you messed with the dirt,
19:27 can you come in and wash your hands
19:29 and with just water.
19:30 Yeah, you can, but if you go and you work in a car with oil
19:33 and dirt and all that stuff.
19:34 Can you wash your hand just in the water?
19:36 Not at all, what do you need to do?
19:37 You have to put soap to breakdown that oil,
19:39 the grease and all of that stuff.
19:41 And so your body almost works the same way.
19:43 If something comes in and it's just like water base,
19:45 it pass through digestion, no problem.
19:47 But if something has a lot of fat oils,
19:49 the body needs to emulsify it, a.k.a.
19:52 break it down,
19:53 so the body's trying to break down the excess fat.
19:56 So when we take too much,
19:57 the body has to produce more bile.
19:59 This is the same process that the liver now
20:02 in a production of the bile cholesterol is necessary.
20:05 So while the body is storing the bile in a gallbladder,
20:08 it's also doing what?
20:10 It's also producing more cholesterol.
20:11 So, yes, they've done studies
20:13 and they show people who eat a lot of cholesterol,
20:14 the cholesterol runs are not cholesterol.
20:16 A lot of avocado,
20:17 the cholesterol runs high is
20:19 'cause they've taken too much fat.
20:20 So stay away from fried foods and all of those items,
20:22 but enjoy the avocado however, in what?
20:24 Moderation.
20:26 They call this a Hass avocado, I call it a Hmm avocado
20:30 because I just think about it and I already ate it,
20:32 it's so small.
20:33 So if you have one of these today,
20:34 no problem, enjoy,
20:36 just make sure you're working along with your doctor on that,
20:37 but if you're in the islands
20:39 and they have these other avocadoes,
20:40 some of them he size of your head
20:42 and the one guy came and said,
20:43 "Man, I ate a whole pear today, a whole avocado."
20:46 I said, "Brother, that's too much."
20:48 Temperance in what?
20:49 In all things, so what we're going to do here today,
20:51 we're going to make it just a quick simple easy recipe
20:53 where you can enjoy your avocado
20:55 and we call it what?
20:57 Guacamole in Texas.
20:58 So let's go to our first one,
21:00 we're going to make some good nice healthy guacamole.
21:01 All we need is:
21:20 All right.
21:21 So I think that was simple and easy for you also.
21:23 Here we go, we have our two avocados.
21:25 I already did some in advance,
21:27 but you all know how to do the avocado,
21:29 you basically cut it, just be careful,
21:31 depend on the knife you have,
21:32 you just go nice and you make your way around it there,
21:36 okay, simple enough.
21:37 And you just go ahead and crack that open as you see,
21:42 really simple, really easy, everybody can...
21:44 Oh, this is amazing. This one is delicious.
21:46 You just remove that seed there and it's fantastic.
21:48 But I went ahead and I already had some going here
21:52 for the sake of time as you see.
21:55 You just take that, you mash,
21:57 you take one of those little mashers,
21:58 you mash that up,
21:59 you take your onions there
22:02 and preferable get the nice colored ones,
22:04 so you can add one of the keys to digestion is
22:08 or eating is make sure that the food looks appealing
22:12 and it's appetizing there.
22:14 We have some garlic
22:16 and please take it easy on the garlic.
22:18 Some people they love garlic so much,
22:20 they try to put five and six cloves
22:22 and instead of having guacamole,
22:24 you have garlicmole,
22:25 I don't even know if that's even a name.
22:26 Then you go ahead,
22:28 you sprinkle salt to taste okay,
22:30 just a little bit there.
22:31 Don't put too much
22:33 and then we have our lemon juice,
22:35 a fresh squeeze is actually even the best one to do.
22:39 And you mix that up there nicely,
22:41 really simple and I have my cilantro here.
22:45 You just go ahead and sprinkle that over.
22:47 You can put tomatoes, you can put whatever you want.
22:50 Go ahead enjoy.
22:54 Anything you...
22:55 What else do we have?
22:57 Some people even put carrots in
22:58 and I don't know about that one,
22:59 but hey, try it you never know.
23:01 Our goal is just to give you a little guideline here.
23:04 And look at that. Done.
23:07 We have guacamole,
23:08 and you can either put it in here
23:10 a nice little bowl.
23:13 This like only takes a minute or two,
23:15 it will be done in no time,
23:17 I want to show you a little quick item.
23:19 Don't throw away those
23:21 the skin I guess of the avocado,
23:25 you can go ahead and put it right back in there.
23:28 Oh, man, you serve this up,
23:29 people are like, "Wow! What is this?"
23:31 Guacamole."
23:32 You know because it looks really nice
23:33 and stuff of that nature and then you have guacamole,
23:37 oop and avocado,
23:39 simple and easy for you to do there.
23:41 I mean everybody can do that, it's really fantastic, right.
23:44 And there you go, you have your guacamole either one,
23:47 both of them are fine.
23:48 I could put them there so you all can see.
23:50 I'm just making a mess here but I'm in a kitchen,
23:52 I'm going to eat it, it doesn't matter how it looks,
23:54 it's gonna go in same way, but you can enjoy that there.
23:57 But I need to go to another test,
23:58 another quick test
24:00 'cause we just learned
24:01 that this beautiful avocado we can enjoy.
24:03 We don't have to be afraid of it anymore.
24:05 It's actually good for us
24:07 but we sometimes people think it has cholesterol,
24:10 but we learned that it doesn't have.
24:11 There's another one.
24:12 Here's my second test question,
24:14 second question for everybody here.
24:16 What about coconut?
24:18 We just learned avocado doesn't have.
24:20 Does coconut have cholesterol?
24:22 Many people are thinking.
24:24 All right so think,
24:25 put down your phones, no cheating.
24:27 No cheating us so you're trying to Google something
24:28 or not even Google
24:29 or just search engine something.
24:32 But, but does coconut have cholesterol?
24:37 Let's go to the test.
24:38 Does coconut have a liver?
24:40 Yes or no?
24:41 No.
24:43 Is it related to something that has a liver?
24:44 No.
24:45 Does it come from something that has a liver?
24:47 No.
24:48 Does it have a face?
24:50 One person said, yes, it has a face,
24:51 I saw two eyes or whatever like that.
24:53 Yeah, well, you need eye
24:55 and nose and mouth to complete it.
24:56 So no face, doesn't have a momma,
24:58 and it isn't like a nice little mushroom so,
25:01 does coconut have cholesterol?
25:02 Absolutely not.
25:05 Matter of fact even though it has high fat,
25:08 the type of fat that it has
25:09 doesn't increase the cholesterol,
25:11 so you can enjoy coconut
25:13 and that's why we're gonna do a little recipe
25:14 for you now with coconut.
25:16 We're gonna call it the Coconut Carrots Macaroons,
25:19 we just have it there as Coconut Macaroons.
25:21 But don't worry we're gonna put some other stuff in it.
25:22 All you need is:
25:47 And we can go straight to that here
25:49 and enjoy this beautiful one.
25:52 What we have here, we have the coconut,
25:54 I'll grab the coconut if y'all don't mind,
25:55 just gonna grab some of these other items here,
25:57 we have our shredded carrots there
26:00 and the rest of some of our ingredients, okay.
26:04 We have most of those there.
26:06 Then what we're gonna do,
26:07 we're gonna take the carrots, okay.
26:10 We're gonna mix that up.
26:12 All right.
26:13 We're gonna mix that up with the coconut there.
26:15 Who knew that you can make carrot,
26:18 carrot macaroons, carrot coconut macaroons.
26:23 We're gonna mix that up nicely, okay.
26:26 Then we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna add some of...
26:30 Let me grab my little spoon here.
26:34 All right, we have the cane sugar
26:37 and it looks like it's trying to hold back on to the cane.
26:40 We're going to sprinkle that over there nicely for you.
26:43 All right, we have the cane sugar.
26:46 We have a little bit of salt there
26:48 that we're gonna sprinkle nicely as well.
26:51 All right.
26:52 And then we have the cornstarch,
26:55 corn starch coming right up.
26:57 Now you can use cornstarch if you want,
26:59 if you don't want to use it, it's not a problem,
27:01 not a problem.
27:03 The only reason with the cornstarch
27:06 sometimes people use too much of it, all right.
27:08 You remember what cornstarch does,
27:10 it thicken things right.
27:11 So when it starts to thicken things,
27:13 thicken things outside,
27:14 but it doesn't stop thickening inside.
27:17 So a lot of people who use cornstarch too much
27:19 all the time for everything,
27:21 they're wondering why they are struggling
27:23 when they go to the restroom.
27:24 So I was going to cut real quick here.
27:26 You just mix this up.
27:27 If you want to add honey, you can do so.
27:29 You take that, you take a spoon,
27:31 you put that on bacon tray, it's really simple and easy,
27:33 stick that in the oven until it's nice and lightly brown.
27:36 I have some that's already done
27:37 that all of us can enjoy here
27:40 and then you have what is known as Carrot Coconut Macaroons,
27:45 fantastic, delicious, everybody should enjoy.
27:49 If you don't mind,
27:50 I'm gonna grab one in advance and look at that nicely,
27:53 it opens very good, good for your eyes,
27:55 good for your belly, good for your bones,
27:57 good for everything but also good for your mouth,
27:59 so enjoy some for yourself.
