00:01 Have you ever wondered
00:02 exactly how to prepare healthy food
00:04 that actually taste good?
00:05 Well, stay tuned while Evita Tezeno
00:07 and yours truly Nyse Collin
00:09 show you just how to do it and give you something better,
00:12 A Taste of Paradise.
00:31 Welcome to A Taste of Paradise.
00:33 My name is Evita Tezeno.
00:36 And as a chef I like to experiment
00:38 with different ethnic flavors.
00:41 I've done Mexican, I've done soul food,
00:44 I've done Italian,
00:46 and today I will show you how to do Thai.
00:50 Thai lettuce wrap is the recipe of the day.
00:53 So let's get started.
00:55 For the sauce we need:
01:23 So what we're goanna do is we gonna do the sauce first.
01:27 And we have the honey
01:29 and you know clover honey has a very distinctive flavor.
01:35 So, I like to use cloverhoney and this is,
01:40 and it depends on what type of honey you have.
01:44 Any kind of local honey will do.
01:47 And then we have the ginger, and I did the Braggs.
01:51 This is the garlic
01:53 and I use a lot of garlic in my food
01:56 because it adds so much flavor.
02:00 Olive oil...
02:03 the cayenne which gives it that kick
02:07 and the sesame seeds,
02:09 and we just goanna whisk this real quick.
02:21 Really simple recipe, so for the next component
02:25 it's the filling and the recipe for that is:
02:48 Okay, let's start with the walnuts
02:51 and remember that you have a stash of walnuts
02:54 that have been soaked and dehydrated
02:58 and you have that in your stash at all times.
03:03 Then you have...
03:05 Didn't we put the celery?
03:09 Scallions, cilantro...
03:16 diced carrots,
03:19 and red bell pepper.
03:23 Get the top here.
03:26 And what we're gonna do is pulse it
03:27 because we wanted to stay chunky.
03:30 That's what we wanted to do is stay chunky.
03:45 So very simple recipe.
03:49 We're gonna take this
03:51 and we're going to just place it
03:52 into the lettuce leafs.
04:00 Of course the smells are so great.
04:07 It's...
04:10 This will be a great dish to serve for friends
04:14 and this is also a...
04:16 I call it fast food because it's really, really quick.
04:24 Got a little messy there.
04:31 So there you have it.
04:34 And then we're going to just
04:36 put a little grated carrot on here.
04:47 This is wonderful.
04:50 Something to behold,
04:51 and I am going to try one of these right now.
04:57 Let's see.
05:04 Sweet, salty, and spicy.
05:12 I must say it's very good.
05:14 And here you have it,
05:17 Thai lettuce wraps.

06:32 at Something Better.
06:34 We have gourmet wraps, man, that's really tasty.
06:35 What are some of wraps that you do there?
06:37 One of our wraps we have
06:38 is a delicious honey barbecue chicken wrap.
06:39 This is made with delicious better than meat.
06:41 We also make a better than meat philly cheeze with a z,
06:46 wrap which is tasty.
06:47 So you're wrapping on philly cheese
06:48 with your better than meat,
06:50 you are wrapping up a barbecue better than meat.
06:53 Exactly, and then we also do a few other,
06:55 we have gawk the great wrap which is pretty tasty as well.
06:58 Well, this rapid thing is getting out of control.
07:01 You know what I mean? But, man, that sounds good.
07:03 So at your place is basically Something Better
07:06 and as you know, we have a resource,
07:08 you know, giving people something better.
07:09 Something better exactly.
07:11 We're just trying to help the people out here
07:12 and now we're going to show them how to wrap up.
07:14 So today we're trying to even wrap up some fruits
07:17 and stuff like that, but you know what?
07:19 It was funny because I was at the restaurant there
07:21 and watching you all wrap up some stuff.
07:23 This brother even, he's not only a chef
07:26 but he even sings and he has a song for like
07:29 Something Better or like, how does that go?
07:31 You okay, can you sing for us?
07:32 I know we're trying to cook today
07:34 and but I want to hear this.
07:36 What is it called?
07:38 It's called "The Eating to Live" song.
07:39 Eating to Live? Eating to Live song.
07:41 Now this is very important
07:42 because many people live to eat.
07:44 Right.
07:45 But now we're gonna eat to live.
07:47 How does it go?
07:48 'Cause there's a, "Food and grains
07:51 and vegetables, nuts,
07:55 and seeds is all I need."
07:58 All right.
07:59 "It tastes so good, so good to me.
08:03 Let's not live to eat, but let's eat to live."
08:08 Yeah, watch it now, that's...
08:10 this is dangerous, this is dangerous.
08:12 Man, he's cooking. He is singing.
08:14 He's doing it all.
08:15 You see, I wanted to join him but you know we're trying to
08:17 make this good stuff here.
08:19 We don't want this program to wrap up immediately,
08:21 you know what I mean.
08:22 Man, that's powerful. Yeah.
08:23 So fruits and grains is all we need.
08:25 Nuts and seeds. That's right.
08:27 Let's not live to...
08:29 Eat, but let's eat to live. Let's eat to live.
08:31 Can we do that today, can we eat to live?
08:34 Yes, let's do it. Let's do it.
08:36 So let's wrap up some fruits now today.
08:39 What is this called in general?
08:40 This is a peach blueberry wrap. Okay.
08:43 I'm going to wrap it up, a peach blueberry wrap
08:45 and I actually use it in our restaurant
08:47 we have a meal program
08:49 and we use this for one of our breakfast meals.
08:50 Okay. In our meal plan and...
08:52 Yes, I have that actually.
08:53 And this is a really awesome meal and very tasty.
08:55 So we have some simple ingredients here,
08:57 we have frozen peaches here.
08:58 All right, so you've got the frozen peas,
09:01 and matter of fact,
09:02 does everybody have their pens and papers ready
09:03 'cause I have to give you those recipe,
09:05 you know what I mean, because you're about to
09:06 wrap it up here real quick
09:07 and they don't have it so, let's look at this peach
09:11 and peach and blueberry wrap, all you need is:
09:53 Well, that's a quite a bit of stuff here
09:55 to wrap up here, man,
09:56 you know what I mean
09:58 and so, so we're going to wrap up some fruits.
09:59 And as I was sharing in the intro here,
10:01 normally people wrap up everything else
10:03 but who knew of a fruit wrap, you know.
10:05 So how do we get started with this?
10:07 Well, we're going to start with our peaches,
10:09 you can use frozen or fresh.
10:10 This was actually frozen peaches
10:12 and what we did, we simply ran under hot water
10:14 to simply make it so it can bought out
10:16 so it can cook a little bit faster.
10:17 Okay.
10:19 So we're going and put this into our saucepan here.
10:20 All right, so do we get that fired up there, all right.
10:26 So we're going to put that into the pan here
10:29 and of course fresh or frozen,
10:32 you all decide which works best for you
10:35 whichever you have available.
10:36 Peach is actually is very excellent,
10:38 it's very good for the heart.
10:39 So, this is like a heart healthy food.
10:41 High cholesterol, high blood pressure,
10:42 you name it, this is good.
10:44 People to part,
10:45 a heart is not working probably,
10:47 enjoy some peaches.
10:48 Matter of fact go out in the back,
10:49 dig a hole, drop a seed, make your own peach.
10:51 Own tree, yes.
10:52 Your own tree, we can't depend on the supermarkets anymore.
10:55 Let's just do it ourselves.
10:57 One of my best memories, this is our raw cane sugar.
11:00 Okay, so we have the raw cane sugar.
11:01 We gonna put that inside there.
11:03 All right, so you have your thing there.
11:05 Now raw cane sugar as we see,
11:07 we poured it out a little early,
11:09 so it got a little tight there,
11:10 but this is not white refined sugar.
11:13 Not at all.
11:15 This is cane sugar,
11:16 so basically they allowed it to go ahead
11:18 and just dehydrate there a little bit.
11:22 So we have the cane sugar.
11:24 You know, the regular sugar,
11:25 it's missing out a lot of vitamins
11:27 and minerals as you see there,
11:30 so a lot of people, that may be a good option
11:33 if you have diabetes though, or something of that nature,
11:35 just hold off on any excess sweeteners,
11:38 but if you do have to use something,
11:40 the cane sugar is a good option.
11:41 They have stevia, they have maple syrup.
11:43 Now, can I use maple syrup in this?
11:44 You can use maple syrup, you can actually use stevia,
11:46 you can use honey.
11:47 All right, you can use honey as well.
11:49 You can use, you know different other sweeteners
11:50 is all natural as well,
11:51 and so what's going to happen as it cooks,
11:53 you are going to see it's going to start to boil.
11:54 All right.
11:55 And once it starts to boil, we're going to go ahead
11:57 and mix our next ingredients together.
11:58 So it's goanna take another few minutes,
12:00 it's already kind of starting to boil right now.
12:01 So we're gonna ahead and go to our next ingredients.
12:02 Okay, so...
12:04 And we have here our sea salt, then we put this it in a bowl,
12:06 all three doesn't go inside the bowl.
12:07 Okay, let me just get that there.
12:09 We have a corn starch,
12:11 this is actually non-GMO cornstarch,
12:14 you can find at a health food stores as well.
12:15 Okay, so non-GMO is not genetically modified...
12:18 Exactly.
12:19 Because corn is such a huge grain
12:21 like they make so much of the stuff.
12:23 There's so many different strands,
12:24 so many of hybrids and stuff.
12:26 Exactly, exactly.
12:27 Make sure you get the one
12:28 that has not been genetically modified.
12:30 Man cannot approve upon God.
12:31 So we stick with the simple things.
12:33 Exactly.
12:34 Here we have a great flavoring
12:36 for so much of cinnamon we use coriander.
12:38 All right, coriander,
12:40 so you be able to take a nice look at that.
12:41 Now, we use that in place of cinnamon.
12:44 Cinnamon, exactly.
12:45 As we learned over sometimes
12:46 through our different presentations,
12:48 cinnamon and other different spices
12:51 are very, they are hard.
12:52 Exactly.
12:54 They're stimulated, they're irritating as well,
12:56 and so it messes up some of the situations there.
12:58 So what we want to do instead of using cinnamon,
13:01 what do we want to use?
13:02 Give him something better. Give him something better.
13:04 Something better. Coriander.
13:05 So we use some coriander, very nice.
13:07 Exactly.
13:08 At last we have some pure water,
13:09 some delicious water.
13:11 All right, we are key by that act.
13:12 Aye, man, it's free of charge
13:14 and I know sometimes it's not free of charge,
13:15 sometimes they charge you about a gallon.
13:18 We got to see, did I got to see you mixing this thing up,
13:20 you trying to keep it to yourself over here.
13:22 So we're gonna mix this up, everything's together,
13:24 we're gonna mix all that up thoroughly.
13:26 We use cold water because sometimes hot water tend to,
13:28 has a tendency to thicken
13:30 and it cause it to form, to a constant form.
13:32 Okay.
13:33 You know, so you have to be quick on it,
13:35 you can't be too slow when it comes to this,
13:36 we got to wrap it up.
13:37 All right, you're gonna wrap it up real quick.
13:39 That's it, man. We got to wrap it up.
13:40 Very good, very good.
13:41 So now we've got this mixture a nice simple,
13:44 a spread right here, we're going to put it
13:46 right into our peach mixture here
13:50 and it's going in...
13:51 Say that, will you, Nyse?
13:54 Well, don't worry about mannerism.
13:55 Come on, man, it's gonna thicken up.
13:57 So it's gonna thicken it up.
13:58 Thicken up, thicken up, that's it.
14:00 He has a sound effects and everything,
14:01 I don't know if we're talking about wrap,
14:03 or rap with a R, you know.
14:05 But good news so that's looking pretty good,
14:08 this is getting actually quite thick as well.
14:11 Is it about four to five minutes
14:13 as you mentioned here.
14:14 Yes, pretty much.
14:15 Right now it's gonna take another minute or two
14:17 and we're going to be pretty much done on this.
14:18 Okay.
14:19 You wanted it to be nice and thick,
14:21 because what happens if it's too runny,
14:22 it's going to run out of a wrap,
14:24 you don't want to run it out of a wrap,
14:25 then you gonna really kind of wrap it up at that point.
14:26 Okay.
14:28 You want it nice and thick, this about right.
14:30 All right.
14:31 Little bit more about in another 10-15 seconds.
14:33 Look at that, you got me looking all over
14:35 trying to see how this thing goes, all right.
14:37 So, we got there. And then what's the next step?
14:39 Well, next we're going to get our wrap.
14:41 All right. So that's that.
14:43 Get that going. So now we have right here.
14:47 I'm just gonna move this over,
14:48 you got the skillet there going.
14:51 Right here we have the whole wheat tortilla.
14:54 Yeah?
14:56 So this is what we're going to use for the wrap.
14:58 Exactly.
14:59 So, do we just drop those fruits in here, the peaches?
15:00 Well, not yet, not yet.
15:02 Actually we're gonna go and take one of these wraps,
15:04 the whole wheat tortilla.
15:05 All right.
15:06 We have our good old almond butter here,
15:08 I want to take a little bit of this
15:09 and now we are gonna spread this.
15:11 All right.
15:12 I like to say, this is a peanut butter
15:13 and jelly sandwich on steroids.
15:15 Watch it now.
15:16 Look at that, this man in there
15:18 dumping that we in a kitchen here.
15:21 You know how it is in a kitchen,
15:22 we put this thing on a table and you say,
15:24 you put it on steroids
15:26 now of course we know it's not steroids,
15:27 steroids but he's talking about almond butter.
15:30 Yes, almond butter, man.
15:31 Almond butter is phenomenal, excellent for the cholesterol,
15:33 provides quite a bit of vitamins and minerals
15:35 for children as well, good for the bones,
15:36 and also for those people
15:38 who are worrying about you know,
15:39 the bones starting to crack up on there.
15:41 Exactly. Go ahead, enjoy the almonds.
15:42 Almond butter is a good way to what, is a power move.
15:45 Power move, man. It's a power move, that's it.
15:46 So it will definitely step that up for you.
15:48 Exactly.
15:49 So now we have our fruits here.
15:51 We're gonna go and put our fruits right on here.
15:52 All right. Spread this evenly.
15:53 So I'll push this up here real quick,
15:55 let me just pull that.
15:57 All right. Excellent.
15:59 So we drop that on top of the almond butter.
16:02 Now is almond butter got to melt up on that or something?
16:04 It's actually, we got another problem,
16:06 we want to share in a second
16:08 and you're gonna see what happens,
16:09 almond butter is going to just infuse all the way through it.
16:11 So we have our delicious peach topping right there.
16:13 We're gonna now take some peaches,
16:14 I'm sorry, some blueberries.
16:16 Some blueberries.
16:17 And just put it right on top of that.
16:19 On top, that, that's another problem.
16:20 Another problem is, antioxidants, man.
16:21 Antioxidants also for individuals
16:25 who are dealing with the little blurry vision,
16:27 you know, the glasses starting to come on.
16:28 We're trying to increase the magnification here.
16:32 Enjoy your self some blueberries.
16:34 Blueberry is excellent for the eyes as well.
16:36 Of course, we all know about the carrot and stuff,
16:38 but we don't want to walk around
16:39 looking like Bugs Bunny you know,
16:40 so let's just go ahead and enjoy some blueberries.
16:43 And little bit, last we got some raisins
16:45 and not too much but a little bit for some taste,
16:47 some raisins, it's nice, adds nice little sweet taste
16:49 as to actually easy to go.
16:50 Very nice. That's all we have.
16:52 I think you mention something very important.
16:53 He was talking about the raisins not too much,
16:55 a lot of people are overdoing these raisins.
16:56 Exactly.
16:58 You know normally, you know,
16:59 they go in and they take a whole handful
17:01 and what we don't realize is that
17:03 whole handful of raisins used to be, used to be what?
17:08 Grapes and so sometimes we end up overdoing,
17:11 overdoing these raisins,
17:13 and so anybody's blood sugar would jump up like
17:15 for diabetics as well, the only...
17:17 They can enjoy fruits.
17:18 A diabetic can enjoy this wrap up.
17:21 I know many times we hear, oh, diabetic,
17:23 they should not be eating fruits
17:25 or different items of that nature,
17:27 but actually that is a serious error.
17:29 Fruits is necessary for diabetics,
17:31 it actually slows down the course of the disease
17:34 and it protects the heart from complications
17:38 because you ever notice not many people die from diabetes.
17:41 All right, like when's the last time,
17:42 "Oh, you know, Grandma Sue died from diabetes."
17:44 She didn't die but they die from the what?
17:46 The complications, you know what,
17:48 the heart attacks, the strokes or different items,
17:50 so they can enjoy fruits, they can enjoy this wrap up.
17:53 However, when it comes to dried foods,
17:56 that's the only time we encourage precaution
17:59 because if you use too much now,
18:00 you are eating like a whole bushel of grapes.
18:03 Whose blood sugar wouldn't increase?
18:05 So temperance in all things.
18:07 Yeah, you're gonna say something?
18:08 We even found, we were working on a program
18:10 a little while ago,
18:11 and we had an individual
18:12 who is on our better sugar plan.
18:14 Okay.
18:15 She was eating these same wraps
18:17 and we did her blood work before
18:18 and she saw when she was taking her insulin level each day,
18:20 I'm sorry, taking her blood sugar level each day
18:22 that her actual levels went down dramatically
18:24 even eating things like this.
18:26 Even eating fruits.
18:27 But in moderation though and we saw that it even works.
18:28 So we know, we can say again in moderation
18:31 and very again a very temperate way is the key.
18:33 I think you've mentioned.
18:35 You were mentioning something real quick.
18:36 I know you gotta get your wrap going, yeah.
18:37 Yeah.
18:39 All right, so I'll let you put it on
18:40 but I wanna ask you about those plants,
18:41 so real quick show us the next step here
18:43 to get that going.
18:44 I wanna ask about that better sugar plan, so...
18:45 Yeah, exactly.
18:47 Right here we're gonna form a wrap,
18:48 we're gonna go and make this wrap.
18:50 We're gonna wrap it up. We'll wrap it up.
18:51 This is what we came here for today.
18:52 All right, so we're gonna go ahead
18:54 and just put that together.
18:55 Oh, man, it looks some kind of good, ooh.
18:58 That's it. It's that simple.
18:59 So we're gonna wrap that up.
19:01 Are we done so? Yup.
19:02 So I need to start eating right now?
19:04 Not yet, not yet, we got a power move, man.
19:06 We cannot miss the power move here.
19:08 Well, so many power moves. I don't know.
19:11 We got to get powered out over here.
19:13 But so you gotta wrap it up and then,
19:15 this I think is a crucial step here for the wrap.
19:18 Very crucial step. What do we do?
19:21 We call this Grandma Brown. Grandma Brown?
19:23 Grandma Brown.
19:24 What you mean my grandma? Aye, maybe.
19:27 You know grandma always had good recipes.
19:28 Yes.
19:30 We always loved to go to grandma's house
19:31 to get a good meal.
19:33 So I call this Grandma Brown
19:34 because we're gonna do something very simple,
19:35 we're gonna make it more gourmet.
19:37 All right.
19:38 We're gonna actually call it our Grandma Brown move,
19:40 what we simply gonna do is,
19:41 simply brown the wrap on both sides and what...
19:44 Oh, watch it now, that's a power move.
19:46 Oh, man, that's a power move, man.
19:47 Did you guys get that? Oh, man, power move.
19:49 He call it Grandma Brown,
19:50 'cause he's gonna brown it down for you.
19:51 That's it.
19:53 That's true, grandma will always put...
19:54 She'll take anything and make it taste good.
19:55 Taste good.
19:57 And matter of fact, there's a old saying,
19:58 when grandma cooks up they're so good,
20:00 we say grandma did you put your foot in it.
20:01 Foot in it. That's it.
20:02 Right there because it tastes so good.
20:04 So good.
20:05 And so we're gonna do a Grandma Brown move...
20:06 Grandma Brown move. That's it.
20:08 By browning it up.
20:09 And all you gotta do is do what?
20:10 Put it on a skillet. Put it on a skillet.
20:12 How long?
20:13 About a good minute on each side,
20:15 you know, a little bit longer on this side.
20:16 And once we do this is what's happening
20:17 the fruits and the almond butter,
20:19 everything is just locking together.
20:20 It's gonna come together, yeah.
20:21 And the flavor just increases 10 fold,
20:23 so it's pretty awesome.
20:24 So you got that brown. Oh, look at that Grandma Brown.
20:27 My grandma's doing it up. Where grandma at?
20:30 Look at that, that's powerful
20:31 because a lot of times we hear this is,
20:33 when it comes to wraps,
20:34 everybody is just thinking wrap gotta be cold...
20:35 Exactly, cold, and dry.
20:37 ..and dry, and you just like,
20:39 "Man, can I get some gravy up in here."
20:40 You know what I mean, throw something,
20:42 so this is how we can step that,
20:44 we can wrap it up and put a power move on it.
20:45 Exactly, exactly.
20:47 By just going ahead and put it on that.
20:48 If you don't have this kind of pan,
20:49 you know just put it in the saucepan
20:51 or something like that
20:52 and you go ahead and brown it up, so.
20:54 And we gonna go ahead last step
20:55 and make it give it some good presentation.
20:56 We're gonna go ahead and take the wrap.
20:58 So is Grandma Brown done with that?
21:00 She's done, Grandma Brown's done.
21:01 All right, good, good, good.
21:02 And now what we're gonna do next,
21:04 we're gonna simply just cut this at an angle.
21:06 Watch it, now this is gourmet.
21:09 Who said Taste of Paradise was just a regular food.
21:11 This is healthy gourmet food.
21:13 Oh, man, you gotta show them how this looks, man,
21:14 this is gonna be some...
21:16 Oh, look at that. Go ahead and show it to them.
21:18 No, no, I ain't showing nobody nothing.
21:21 This is for me. Look at this. Oh, man.
21:24 Can y'all take a look at this?
21:26 Now normally when I think of wrap,
21:27 I'm thinking of savory foods and all that stuff.
21:30 Who knew that you can wrap up some fruits?
21:31 Oh, man.
21:33 This is powerful, you see that blueberries,
21:34 you see that peach,
21:36 you see the whole works right there.
21:37 So I'm gonna show you what you do with this one here,
21:41 you put this over to the side.
21:42 Come on now, you better save some for me too, man.
21:44 You know, it is not on your side,
21:45 my side, all right.
21:46 So that's it.
21:48 So we Grandma Browned it,
21:49 that's the whole wheat tortilla,
21:51 we got some fruits, you know,
21:52 we talked about the antioxidants,
21:53 the raisins, and all that stuff is good.
21:55 You did a power move with some almonds.
21:57 Exactly. With some almonds there.
22:00 Now let's say somebody have a problem with wheat.
22:02 Right.
22:03 You know what I mean, oh, you know
22:04 I'm gluten intolerant and stuff,
22:06 of course, we wanna identify
22:07 what is the true cause of that problem,
22:09 is there a milk in the diet,
22:10 is there other dairy products or maybe you know,
22:14 people dealing with stress as well.
22:15 Right, exactly.
22:16 You know what's funniest thing is,
22:18 not funny but you know what I mean,
22:19 when people deal with stress,
22:21 a system of the body
22:22 that is affected like one of the first systems
22:23 is your digestive tract, you know what I mean.
22:25 A lot of times when we sit down with our clients
22:27 and individuals and they'd say,
22:29 "Oh, you know, I'm having digestive tract disorders,
22:31 I'm having acid reflux.
22:32 You know, acid reflux, you can't sleep flat anymore,
22:35 you gotta put like those...
22:36 Remember those commercial with the beds
22:37 that be going like this all the time.
22:39 They gotta sit up and sleep like that.
22:41 And one of the key items,
22:42 before we start talking about food,
22:44 we were talking about what,
22:45 we're talking about where is the stress,
22:47 what is going on in your life,
22:49 because what is the true cause,
22:50 'cause if we give you something,
22:52 "Oh, take charcoal, eat this, eat that."
22:53 That hadn't solved the problem.
22:55 Exactly.
22:56 We gotta get to the source of the problem.
22:58 Exactly.
22:59 So let's say gluten,
23:00 people dealing with gluten intolerance, okay.
23:02 We have to identify if there's some stressors,
23:04 what's going on in our life.
23:05 Also another stressor is how we eat.
23:07 It's true. You know what I mean?
23:08 A lot of spices
23:10 and all of these different items stress out.
23:11 Even learned about the dairy, even you learned about dairy.
23:15 Diary initiates this response, inflammatory response.
23:19 What is that these digestive tract problems?
23:21 It's inflammation, inflammation, inflammation,
23:24 so let's look at that.
23:26 But let's say, okay, 100% gluten-free intolerance.
23:30 How can I take this wrap and we even mentioned it.
23:32 Right.
23:34 There is a certain wrap and it's a gluten-free wrap.
23:35 Rice, a brown rice, we're gonna go ahead
23:37 and put it over here,
23:39 and we're gonna pour this brown rice wrap here,
23:41 and this is actually,
23:42 you can get this at most health-food stores...
23:44 So this is a brown rice wrap? More amount of brown rice.
23:47 Yeah, 'cause I'm using a wheat wrap
23:49 or maybe a corn tortilla.
23:50 And corn could be used also,
23:51 but I like to use the brown rice
23:53 the wrap with what we're doing.
23:55 This got some additional benefits or it's just,
23:57 I guess, 100% or close to 100% gluten-free, yeah?
24:01 It is 100% gluten-free. Exactly.
24:02 So what we're gonna do firstly, these wraps,
24:05 since they do not have the gluteness out of it,
24:07 we have to actually heat it up first
24:08 or will have a tendency to break.
24:10 So we're gonna go ahead and heat this up quickly.
24:12 Okay, let me just show it real quick,
24:14 if everybody says to how it looks.
24:15 Yeah, this is the brown rice wrap.
24:18 It looks like almost translucent.
24:21 Exactly.
24:22 You know, it's interesting, interesting.
24:24 Well, there's something
24:25 for everybody here today, all right.
24:26 So we take that now, now this one I notice
24:29 you're doing something different.
24:30 You already got this going. We'll heat the wrap.
24:32 We're gonna heat the tortilla first
24:34 and what we gonna do by doing that
24:35 is that it softens it up a little bit.
24:37 Makes it so it won't crack
24:39 when you actually try to fold it.
24:40 This one we're gonna do differently,
24:42 we're not gonna make a wrap,
24:43 we're gonna actually make it like a quesadilla.
24:45 Oh, okay.
24:46 Because it's gonna be even more interesting in this one.
24:47 Now that I think that's a very important point there,
24:50 you have to heat this up, it would crack,
24:52 it won't hold like a whole wheat wrap.
24:54 Exactly, we're correcting the crack on the corners
24:56 or in the middle once you try to fold it.
24:58 And the reason in particular is that
24:59 because it's missing the like...
25:00 It's missing the gluten,
25:02 so it doesn't have that exactly.
25:03 ..the gluten you see
25:05 and so I think this is very important point,
25:06 a lot of times when we do gluten-free,
25:07 we have to realize that when you pull out that gluten,
25:09 you're pulling out the good of that green,
25:11 the protein of that item.
25:13 Exactly.
25:14 You're pulling out the sustenance.
25:16 You know what I mean of that.
25:17 And that's why sometimes we find that
25:19 our clients will do 100% gluten-free.
25:21 If they are not following a complete well balanced diet,
25:24 they get hungry very fast.
25:26 The gluten goes ahead and holds you
25:28 a little bit there.
25:29 So this is a interesting item to keep your eye on there.
25:33 So is this the same process, what do we do?
25:35 Same process, we're gonna take our almond butter.
25:37 We're gonna do power move again.
25:39 Power move again, put the almond butter down.
25:42 Man, I like sunflower seed butter,
25:44 this is a new one.
25:45 I think 'cause the sunflower seed has vitamin A and E and...
25:46 Yeah, sunflower seed,
25:48 you can use tahini also is another really good butter
25:52 to put on there as well.
25:53 Wow, tahini.
25:55 Next we're gonna go ahead and do some more peaches.
25:56 So we're going back to the peaches again?
25:57 Let me just move this right there for you.
25:59 There you go. All right.
26:00 All right, put the peaches down.
26:04 So same process. Same process.
26:06 The only difference here is that we went ahead
26:08 and we warmed up,
26:10 we warmed up the wrap first, okay.
26:12 Exactly. Blueberries again.
26:14 All right, so we are boosting our meal.
26:17 That's it.
26:18 Lot of times people buy stuff that's fortified and all that.
26:20 Fortify your own food
26:22 just by studying to find out which foods has which vitamins,
26:25 which minerals and then just add that.
26:26 And you can use other things as well.
26:28 You can use strawberries on there if you want,
26:29 you can put some, you know,
26:30 you can do craisins or you can do currants
26:33 or there's different things that actually that kind of
26:35 take replace with the raisins and stuff like that as well.
26:37 We're gonna go ahead now
26:39 and I'll just fold it to a quesadilla.
26:41 All right.
26:43 How are you gonna make a fruit quesadilla?
26:45 This brother...
26:47 Come on, man, so the cheese is actually the butter,
26:48 the almond butter kind of does its cheese effect, you know.
26:50 Okay.
26:51 Oh, all right so that's actually a good point.
26:54 So Chef, Chef, you are wrapping this thing up.
26:57 You're slapping it up, I mean, you are doing everything here.
27:00 So if we wrap it, we slap it, and then we eat it.
27:03 Come on, now.
27:04 So now we're gonna put that right back on there.
27:08 The almond butter you said works like the cheese,
27:10 you go ahead and you cut that here nicely.
27:13 I think you all can enjoy that there.
27:15 And this is the fruit quesadilla.
27:18 Fruit quesadilla.
27:20 We wrapped it up with some fruits.
27:22 We quesadida...
27:23 I don't know if that's even a word or something like that.
27:26 Anyway, it tastes good.
27:27 I know you will enjoy, because I'm about to as well.
