Paleo starch

Arrowroot is derived from the Maranta Arundinacea tuber, making it suitable for the paleo diet where cornstarch cannot be used because it comes from a grain. Read the instructions on how to use it. Fun fact: a paste made from this tuber was used to treat wounds from poisoned arrows. Its name comes from this: arrowroot means “arrow root.”.

Instructions

Use in place of cornstarch in the same amounts as given in the recipe.
The % of use ranges from 5 to 7% of the total, including liquids.
Between 5 and 7% gives a mayonnaise-like texture.
7 to 12% a rather solid panna cotta-type structure.
Like cornstarch it needs to be cooked to thicken.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Live Better products can also be taken during pregnancy, except for Pure Biltong and Kaminwurz, as they are cured.
Pure Jerky is cooked, not raw meat, so there's no problem.

Better Mayo is made with pasteurized egg yolk. The yolk is pasteurized, undergoing a controlled heat treatment at 64°C for 8 minutes and then refrigerated at +2°C. Under proper storage conditions and shelf-life, the product is generally suitable for consumption during pregnancy. Unless otherwise indicated by a medical professional and in accordance with the storage instructions on the label.

The only caution is Chokkino because it contains caffeine
A cup of Chokkino espresso contains only 11 mg of caffeine (an espresso coffee contains 80 mg)
EFSA's recommended daily limit of caffeine for pregnant women is 200 mg
Caffeine is naturally present in cocoa, and therefore also in chocolate. However, chocolate contains less caffeine than cocoa powder.
Cocoa powder contains less cocoa butter and therefore the caffeine is "concentrated"

All Live Better products can be taken while breastfeeding.

Consult your doctor for special needs

Yes. You can use the same grams given in the recipe for cornstarch.

No. As a matter of environmental sustainability all our bags do not contain a measuring cup. If they did contain it, customers who often buy our products would end up with a collection of measuring cups. This would make no sense, as the Earth is the only planet we have and we need to take care of it by living consciously. Instead, our boxes contain the measuring cup, as it is usually the first purchase a customer makes.

The date shown on NON-fresh products is not the expiration date, but the TMC.

TMC means Minimum Storage Term and is NOT an expiration date. The product is always perfectly edible after this date. When you read “best before...” on a product, it means it is not an expiration date but the TMC minimum shelf life.

PLEASE NOTE: Our products are very stable because they are in powdered form and contain mainly saturated fats, which are naturally very stable. We have tested many of them even more than one year past their TMC date, and they were still in perfect condition, including coconut milk, cocoa powder, erythritol, and arrowroot.

How to tell if a product is still good? Very simple!
Just take a look: are there any signs of mold, insects, or anything unusual?
Smell: smell?
If the answers to these two questions are no, the product is still good.

Think about this: the expiration date was invented 50 years ago. Humankind has existed for 2.5 million years. Your senses are perfectly capable of recognizing a product gone bad. Trust us!

10% of European food waste is caused by the misinterpretation of this date. Tell your friends about this important distinction between TMC and expiration date. Awareness will save the world.

Marshmallow proteici cheto

INGREDIENTS
3 albums (100 g) or 12.5 g of albumen powder
22 g jelly
5 grams Better Sweet
a pinch of salt
ghi to grease the baking pan
12 g collagene (opzionale non necessario)

Per una teglia di circa 30 cm, raddoppiare le dosi

SUBSTITUTIONS
Si può sostituire il Better Sweet con 20/25 g di erythritol
oppure 25 g maple syrup, (la ricetta originale prevedeva 100 g di sciroppo d’acero, quindi se con 25 g non è abbastanza dolce, si può aumentare)
Si può usare simile quantità di miele.
Io preferisco con sciroppo d’acero perché ha un sapore più neutro (soprattutto il nostro Fancy Maple che non sa di caramello)

PROCEDURE
If you're using powdered egg whites, dissolve 12.5 g of egg whites in 87.5 g of water and let it sit for at least 10 minutes
In un pentolino antiaderente sciogli la gelatina in 70 ml di acqua, diventerà duro, non fa nulla. Aspetta 10 minuti
Beat the egg white until stiff peaks form
Metti il pentolino con la gelatina sul fuoco (bassissimo) e falla sciogliere fino a quando inizia fare piccole bollicine (circa 70°C) e poi aggiungerla a filo all’albume continuando a montare
Aggiungi il Better Sweet e continua a montare
Aggiungi il collagene e continua a montare
Grease a baking sheet with butter
Pour in the mixture and smooth it out with a spatula
Let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours
Grease a knife with butter and cut into cubes
Sprinkle with arrowroot or other starch (optional)

You can also add blended fruit or freeze-dried fruit powder.

Lemon chicken

Lemon chicken

INGREDIENTS

500 g chicken breast
Arrowroot q.b.
Lemon juice
Salt to taste.
Ghi o Sego for cooking

PROCEDURE

Cut the chicken breast into chunks of uniform size.

Transfer to a bowl and add just enough arrowroot to coat all the pieces well, mixing with your hands.

Heat a frying pan with ghee or tallow. When the fat is hot, add the chicken without overlapping it and cook it over medium-low heat; it should not brown.

Add the lemon juice and salt only at the end, stir and cover for 1-2 minutes until fully cooked. If the lemon should be too runny, remove the lid and let it dry to the desired consistency.
