[Function]

Grapes (Vitis vinifera) have been heralded for their medicinal and nutritional value for thousands of years. Egyptians ate grapes a very long time back, and several ancient Greek philosophers spoke about the healing power of grapes — usually in the form of wine. European folk healers made an ointment from the sap of grapevines to treat skin and eye diseases. Grape leaves were used to stop bleeding, inflammation, and pain, such as the kind brought on by hemorrhoids. Unripe grapes were used to treat sore throats, and dried grapes (raisins) were used for constipation and thirst. Round, ripe, sweet grapes were used to treat a range of health problems including cancer, cholera, smallpox, nausea, eye infections, and skin, kidney, and liver diseases.

Grape seed extracts are industrial derivatives from whole grape seeds that have a great concentration of vitamin E, flavonoids, linoleic acid and phenolic OPCs. The typical commercial opportunity of extracting grape seed constituents has been for chemicals known as polyphenols having antioxidant activity in vitro.

** See below for ingredients** I have seen so many recipes for broccoli tots but none of them vegan so, I thought that I would make some!

These broccoli tots are delicious and you wouldn’t know that they were dairy free.

I ended up using 5 tbls of vegan yoghurt even though I only show one spoon in the video – for the amount of ingredients used, you really need between 4 and 5 tbls but add one at a time and mix, until you are happy with the consistency.

Some people like to squeeze the water out of the broccoli after blanching in hot water and grating – I don’t do either of these steps because it removes more of the vitamin and mineral content and they still turned out yummy without having to do this.

I have made this recipe three times now and each time, I made the tots a little smaller than is shown in this video. They expand slightly with the breadcrumbs so, they are pretty big here – they are actually better if a little smaller than shown here

Here is the recipe
350g fresh grated broccoli
50g toasted breadcrumbs
5 tbls spoons vegan yoghurt
1/4 chopped red onion
2 tbls chopped chives
50g grated vegan cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Play around with this recipe by adding:

Grated potato
Garlic powder
Chili flakes
