]]> Stew is a great meal to make when you need something simple that will feed a lot of people or that will last you a long time. It’s hearty, you can basically throw in any ingredients you find, and you can make it taste however you like. One way to make stew even heartier is to add grains. These will add something to soak up the moisture and make it heavier and chewier so that you also feel like you’re eating a good meal. Here are some of the best to use.

Barley

Barley will soak up the flavor of your stew really well and has a super-pleasing chew to it in addition to being nice and heavy. It’s especially good in salty, meatier stews as the umami flavor works really well with barley’s own taste. Also, it expands quite a bit, so a little will go a long way meaning you can make your barley last longer.

Brown Rice

Brown rice is a rounder, heartier grain than white rice which makes it a great addition to stew. It won’t soak up quite as much flavor as barley, but its own flavor is quite nice and it has lots of nutrients such as fiber thanks to it being a whole grain. It’s great with veggie and chicken stews.

Oatmeal

If you’re going for a thicker, more porridgy texture, then oatmeal is great. We think of oatmeal in the west as a breakfast food, but in fact, it’s often used to make savory porridges like congee in southeast Asia. It’s especially good with lots of garlic, ginger, and chicken stock.

]]> Because of the unhealthy life we live, a lot of people experience digestion problems. Taking proper care of your gut should be of ultimate importance. Today we bring you the five best foods for digestion.

Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are not only delicious but also bring a lot of benefits to the table. They are one of the best foods for digestion, because of the rich fiber content.

Beetroot

Beetroot is an amazing vegetable that can do wonders for your health. When it comes to digestion, it is already proven that this vegetable restores the condition of the gut. It contains fiber, magnesium and more. In other words, if you start including it in your meals, all those problems will go away.

Brown Rice

Whole grain foods are also a great way to restore your digestion. Instead of opting for white rice, simply switch it with brown.

Yogurt

Yogurt will provide you with probiotics, that keep the good bacteria in your gut healthy and happy. It is one of the most important foods for digestion. When the good bacteria is balanced, you shouldn’t be experiencing any problems.

Sauerkraut

Just like yogurt, sauerkraut is a great source of good bacteria. All fermented foods can help you with digestion, so don’t hesitate before putting them on your shopping list.

Homemade Sauerkraut recipe! There’s something about sauerkraut that seems so complex but I've tried and tested a recipe that proves this fermented food is far less complicated than you may think. Actually, this 15-minute process involves minimal effort. Chop up your favorite cabbage variety, add sea salt and let it ferment for a few days (even weeks) for a tangy, probiotic-rich surprise! Jazz up your creation by adding caraway seeds and herbs. Enjoy it as a side dish, sandwich topping or right out of the jar! The beneficial probiotics found in sauerkraut are important for good digestive health, and while more research is needed into the exact types of beneficial bacteria found in sauerkraut and other fermented foods, we do know that they 'feed' the good bacteria in your gut and can help to combat inflammation. 🙌🏻❤ Here is link to this recipe on my @vitacost blog: bit.ly/TEDkraut #theearthdiet #guthealth #earthdiet #vitacost #recipe

Lima Beans

Lima beans are among the most popular high-fiber foods. They are very versatile and you can cook these beans in so many ways. Whenever you need a side to your dish, the first thing you should think of is Lima beans.

Artichokes

Artichoke is the vegetable with the highest content of fiber of all. To some, artichokes are the least-favorite choice. But if you cook them properly, with just enough spices, you will change your mind.

Pears

Pears are the perfect fruit for so many reasons. They are not only packed with fiber but also protein, omega-3 and much more. You can have them as a snack, or add some honey and nuts for the most delicious dessert.

Brown Rice

Brown rice is the healthier alternative to white, with a higher fiber content. It’s really not a surprise that everyone is obsessed with it.
