Healthy pastry, our contribution to the Health Hackers Meeting
Does healthy pastry actually exist? At Jordi Bordas we have always been very careful about using this adjective since we believe that in order to be 100% healthy, a recipe needs to be composed only of ingredients beneficial for our health. That is why we typically refer to our products as “healthier”.
For technical reasons, it is often difficult to eliminate from our recipes those ingredients that are detrimental to our health, but it is not impossible! Over the last few weeks, we have been working on two very special products to which, yes, we can attribute the label "healthy!healthy". Thanks to all the knowledge that the B·Concept method gives us, we are able to formulate very specific recipes with the attributes we want.
It all began when our friend Xevi Verdaguer, a specialist in psychoneuroimmunology, asked us to participate in the second edition of Health Hackers Meeting, an event organized by him and his team during 28th and 29thof September in Mas Les Comelles Parc Cultural.
The proposal was to develop recipes with functional and nutritious ingredients that would not only not harm our health, but actually improve it. As you know, we love challenges like this, so, as you might expect, we got straight down to work. The result? A spectacularbuckwheat and seed breadand a deliciouscocoa cake.
We would like to thank Xevi for the opportunity to collaborate. We have learned a great deal about ingredients and their impact on our digestive system. This knowledge is certainly vital when creating our own recipes and continuing to adhere to the three basic pillars of our pastry: healthier, lighter, and tastier.
Here are the two videos we recorded with Xevi, where, in addition to the recipes, you will discover all the technical and functional secrets of each ingredient used. In each of the posts, you will find everything you need so you can consult it whenever you want.
