@rajk999 saidThe papaya itself is excellent at tenderising meat, just add a little water with the papaya in a blender to make a thinkish paste and spread it over the meat. Greatness fruit on the planet.
We call it paw-paw down here, but who eats the leaves? I think people sometimes wrap tough cuts of meat in the leaves and that helps with tenderizing it. Pectin is the ingredient in the leaves that helps.
@drewnogal saidI eat lots of that myself. Herring, sardines, tuna, with chopped onions, tomatoes, peppers [hot or sweet], and lemon / lime juice. Canada also makes smoked herrings but I think its mostly exported. Not sure if it is available in the US or Canada. But it makes a delicious meal. All enjoyed with homemade bread - pure whole wheat, flaxseed, oats and olive oil. Delicious healthy stuff.
Pickled herring salad. It’s a superfood, just like the humble sardine.
I started back on the oily fish 4 days ago, what a differences to my energy levels and mood! All of those rich Christmas foods were putting me in a near coma.

@drewnogal saidHeard walnuts and other nuts as well, is good for brain function. Started eating more nuts about a year now, but I seem to be resistant to that ...lol . Eating it anyway.

@rajk999 saidI worked with a doctor who ate loads of almonds. She suggested I soak them in water first which plumps them up and makes them taste fresher. Ever tried that?

@drewnogal saidGood idea. Going to try that. I stopped eating almonds because they are too hard.

@very-rusty saidBuy the plain cashews and roast it yourself. It tastes better than the preroasted and pre salted ones.
