I have written about this mouth-watering plant before but some new information came to light today about the effect that eating coriander leaves can have on stripping the body of toxic metal deposits such as mercury which is found in tooth fillings.
The best way of course to rid yourself of this particular metal is to have such fillings removed. This though is not as easy as it may sound. The removal of mercury fillings must be done very carefully to avoid an overdose being transmitted to the body through mercury vapour, especially as dental work can be extremely invasive.
So back to coriander, it is recommended that you eat a handful of coriander once a day for ten days. Alternatively, you can make a Coriander pesto which you can eat a small amount of every day for three weeks. The recipe for this pesto is set out below, I for one who still has some mercury fillings will be trying this.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Brazil nuts (selenium)
- 1/3 cup sunflower seeds (cysteine)
- 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds (zinc, magnesium)
- 2 cups packed fresh coriander (cilantro, Chinese parsley) (vitamin A)
- 2/3 cup flaxseed oil
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice (vitamin C)
- 2 tsp dulse powder
- Sea salt to taste
Process the coriander and flaxseed oil in a blender until the coriander is chopped. Add the nuts and seeds, dulse and lemon juice and mix until the mixture is finely blended into a paste. Add a pinch of sea salt to taste and blend again. Store in dark glass jars if possible. It freezes well, so purchase coriander in season and fill enough jars to last through the year.
