Answers
- True! Horseradish can be applied externally to help treat rheumatism, back pain, scurvy and insect bites
- True! The leaves of the mustard plant are a source of calcium. Calcium also plays an essential role in blood coagulation, controlling blood pressure and muscle contraction (including the heart).
- True! A 20g spoonful of horseradish has 71 kcal, and only 0.7 g of lipids (fats).
- True! Gherkins have psychobiotic properties. When you eat them, they stimulate production of serotonin in the digestive tract, which then is transmitted to the brain to enhance your mood.
- True! The leaves of the mustard plant are an excellent source of vitamin C. This vitamin, apart from its antioxidant properties, also enhances bone, cartilage, teeth and gum health, while helping to protect against infections, facilitating the absorption of iron contained in vegetables and accelerating skin healing.
- True! Horseradish has remarkable mucus-reduction properties and can be used to treat bronchitis and bronchopneumonia.
- True! Taken at the beginning of the meal, gherkins help digestion and have a slightly laxative effect.
- True! Studies have shown that the consumption of betaine, one of the pigments that gives beetroot its characteristic colour, helps prevent skin, liver and lung cancers in animals. Research also indicates that the carotenoids contained in beetroot leaves could help prevent certain cancers, including breast and lung cancer.
- True! Horseradish and mustard can help prevent food-derived infections as they protect against food-borne pathogens, such as Listeria, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus. Mustard oil and horseradish both contain allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), which has antibacterial properties. Mustard oil contains 93% AITC and horseradish 60%.
- True! Olives are rich in “good fats” as they have a 75% oleic acid content. This is a monounsaturated fatty acid, which unlike the saturated fats we eat most of the time, has a beneficial effect on cholesterol. Olives also have a very low cholesterol content, with only 0.2 mg per 100 g.
