Hazelnut paste for organic plant-based milk

The hazelnut is a very popular seed for its characteristic taste, most often used in sweet recipes, it is also excellent for toasting. Here are its main advantages:

• E vitamin: this antioxidant vitamin is essential for many mechanisms in our body. In addition with omega-3, it makes the skin more beautiful, promotes its hydration and limits cellular aging. It also limits the degeneration of the brain and would be essential to fight against Alzeihmer's disease, the absence of E vitamin being characteristic in people with this disease (source here). We also note its presence in the membranes of all our cells and its participation in the formation of red blood cells.
A hazelnut milk made with this paste brings you 21% of the recommended daily intake of E vitamin!!

• Good for the heart: the lipid composition of hazelnuts looks like the one of olive oil. It is composed mainly of monounsaturated fatty acids (mainly in oleic form) with very few polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids. It may play a role in reducing certain risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as blood lipids, blood pressure and glucose metabolism. Without forgetting that its antioxidant power also contributes to this phenomenon.

• Manganese: manganese is a nutrient involved in several body processes, particularly in the metabolism of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates. It helps certain specific enzymes to fight against free radicals, therefore it limits the harmful effects of oxidation and consequently slows down the phenomenon of cellular ageing. It will also allow the production of insulin, a hormone that regulates our blood sugar levels. That's not all, it would help preserve bone mass by being an essential constituent for bone formation.
By drinking 100 mL of hazelnut milk you cover 28% of the daily requirement.

• Copper: copper is also an enzyme co-factor, ie it will enable the enzymatic reaction of different metabolisms of the human body (lipids, carbohydrates, etc.). It helps to better assimilate iron and participates in the production of red blood cells. Like manganese, it is involved in bone formation, it is an ideal combo within the hazelnut itself. Among other things, it is also known to have beneficial effects on the production of melanin, on the nervous system or on the immune system through its anti-bacterial effect.

• In summary: homemade hazelnut milk made from this "irresistible hazelnut" paste is perfectly balanced in fiber, protein, unsaturated fatty acids and minerals. It is low in carbohydrates and therefore does not affect blood sugar levels. Finally a vegetable milk that is good for the planet and the body!

Brin de Foli

It all started with Sarah, a great lover of gourmet and healthy food. This enthusiast of homemade in all its forms, loves to discover, try new things and share them with those around her.

Coming from Paul Bocuse school among others, she found herself confronted with an intolerance to dairy products which forced her to modify her diet.

Looking for a solution to fill up on ferments without having to consume dairy products, she played the "call a friend" card by turning to David.

David, passionate about ferments and holder of a doctorate in the field, could help her find which ferment to use for a homemade vegetable yogurt.

Always ready to draw inspiration from the richness of nature to create new things, he spent many evenings alongside his yogurt maker. He tested different mix of ferments and natural ingredients to find THE recipe for making homemade yogurts with ferments from plant-based drinks.

Brin de Foli was born with this shock team and the very first mixtures of ferments for plant-based milks in the world were born. Full of inventiveness and ideas, they have developed more than 250 plant-based and fermented recipes. To continue in this mission to make dairy products plant-based, they have released their own almond and hazelnut pastes in order to produce plant-based milks with an incomparable taste, more stable and practical and above all, better for the planet.
Their state of mind, promoting a diet that defies codes: creative, personal, healthy, respectful of the environment, and alive - the living food.
