Give Your Taste Buds a Reset with 3 Natural Food Swaps
If you remember juicy strawberries and watermelon slices tasting like
candy when you were little, you’re in good company. Children have more
taste buds than adults, which is why everything tasted just a little
richer when you were younger. Even though our sense of taste changes as
we reach adulthood, we can still refresh our palates and regain an
appreciation for good food.
Artificial sweeteners and processed
ingredients can desensitize us to the vibrant, natural flavors in the
world around us. Luckily, focusing on wholesome foods can help “reset”
our taste buds, making it easier to appreciate cleaner flavors. Here are
a few easy ways to refresh your palate with clean ingredients.
Stick with Natural Sweeteners
If fresh berries and raw honey are a scenic drive through the
mountains, processed sweets and refined sugars are a roller coaster.
While it’s fine to enjoy those extreme flavors occasionally, having them
every day can desensitize our taste buds to simple, natural flavors.
Plus, the constant peaks and crashes of heavily sweetened foods can make
us crave more refined sugars, making fresh fruits and wholesome sweeteners less enticing.
To take your tastebuds off that refined sugar rollercoaster, sweeten
your meals with raw honey and keep a container of frozen fruit in the
freezer for times you’re craving a sweet treat. Be sure to choose true,
raw honey from a regenerative farm, since most honey in the U.S.
contains high fructose corn syrup and rice oils.
Swap Seed Oils for Tallow
It’s not just your imagination: The French fries you loved as a child really did
have a more savory flavor and a crispier crunch. Fries used to be
prepared with beef tallow, a natural, flavorful cooking oil, but many
restaurants have switched to seed oils in recent decades. Since seed
oils are highly processed and have a mild flavor, this swap has led to
soggier, blander fries.
To steer clear of processed oils and enjoy tastier meals, use organic grass fed beef tallow
instead of seed oils when searing, frying, or even baking. Since beef
tallow naturally enhances food with a delicious umami flavor, this
versatile cooking oil can help you avoid over-seasoning your meals,
allowing your tastebuds to appreciate natural flavors.
Choose Quality Meat
Let’s face it: even if you dress your bird with fresh rosemary sprigs,
natural sea salt, and minced garlic, a perfectly roasted chicken is
about the texture and taste of the meat itself. When you cook with
pasture raised, grass fed meat, it’s easier to appreciate the nuanced
natural flavors of simple meals, from juicy steaks to crispy fried
chicken.
Ordering pastured chicken and grass fed beef online
is an easy and accessible way to enjoy ethically raised, flavorful
meat. Plus, ordering ethically raised meats online lets you research the
farms you’re buying from rather than feeling like you have to make a
snappy decision in the grocery store. When you choose meat raised the
way nature intended, you’re doing your tastebuds, the future of the food
industry, and the planet a favor.
With these three tips, you can give your tastebuds a reset and enjoy wholesome, mouthwatering meals.
