Vegan "Egg" Scramble | SOYLESS | NO TOFU | PUMPKIN SEEDS

[@Vegan4life11-11]

I had 2 softball size fibroids huge clots would drop out. They suggested a hysterectomy. I was at Loma Linda University. I told them no. I was going vegan & doing some deep detoxs. I was close to menopause. That was 27 years ago. Healed all health problems & still vegan. Love your page! I don't do soy I've known for years soy was not good for me.

[@TheMindfulPlate]

Wow what an amazing testimony! I pray that more people see this, because women especially need to know that their womb challenges, dis-ease and illnesses can be cured with detoxing and shifting diet from processed to nourishing plant-based Whole Foods. Thanks for sharing and may your health continue to thrive!

[@calmlyeverafter3248]

I make mine by first blending the seeds into a powder and then add water. I then add a touch of flax seed power. When you blend first, less water is absorbed and the Flax seed helps to bind. 🙂

[@TheMindfulPlate]

Fantastic tip! Thanks for sharing this Tamika :)

[@firandcurly84]

What do you use to blend to seeds to powder?

[@niknatpattywack4293]

Gurlllll…. That’s a great idea to blend the pumpkin first then add the flax that will gel together 🤯🤯🤯

[@macrumpton]

You could probably soften the green to make it easier to remove by putting some baking soda in the water the seeds are soaking in. Cooking chickpeas in water with a tiny amount of baking soda softens the skins for creamier hummus, so it would probably do the same for the seeds.

[@TheMindfulPlate]

Thanks for the tip

Helllooo!! I must say these eggless eggs were the bomb! Thanks for this recipe. You hit it on the mark! I must say that I was abit skeptical at first but I was amused by the video. I challenged myself to try it out to see if it would intimate eggs. My mother is the egg eater and she loved them! And honestly, I've never been a egg person. I must say this had a egg taste but I felt guilt free not feeling like I was eating a embryo of a chicken. And no. I'm not even a animal lover like that. It was just always the thought for me. Anywho, to keep it short and sweet- Girl, you rocked it with this recipe! Loved it! It had so much flavor too. The combine of the pumkin seed and ackee was brilliant! ! Thanks!

Loved this! Just an easy help is they actually sell Pumfu which is pumpkin seed tofu to cut down on time:)

[@TheMindfulPlate]

I've used PUMFU and it's NOT THE SAME. It's a totally different thing. Making my recipe isn't about saving time, as much as it's about replicating eggs. My recipe is made to replicate the texture of soft, fluffy scrambled eggs. Pumfu is made to mimic a meaty texture. So even if you substitute with it, you're going to get 2 different dishes. Pumfu is amazing for what it does though!

[@jrmint2]

some ppl are allergic to soy which is really unfortunate, but soy is an excellent source of nutrients and phytoestrogens do not act like real estrogens found in dairy. Infact studies found soy to be anticancer and great for building collagen aka gorgeous skin.

[@TheMindfulPlate]

I've heard of the benefits of soy as well . . . . and as you stated, for those who are allergic, they will need alternatives. And it's debatable whether or not the photoestrogens affect the body negatively. For some, depending on their health condition, it's best to stay away from phytoestrogens all together.

[@TheMindfulPlate]

Thanks! It is really tasty. Ackee isn't necessary, the pumpkin seeds will suffice, however I think the ackee adds a fluffiness to the texture. If you can't find it at the international grocers, you can order it on amazon.

[@petrathornewill1761]

What is Aci

[@TheMindfulPlate]

Hi Petra. Ackee is the national fruit of Jamaica. While it's a fruit, it's not sweet. It has a pulpy, creamy, yellow flesh and when cooked is similar in texture to scrambled eggs. It can be purchased in Caribbean markets or International aisles of grocery stores. It's usually tinned in brine. Your best bet is to rinse it from the brine and use as I instructed in the recipe. There are also traditional Jamaican ways of preparing ackee for breakfast. If you google Ackee and Saltfish, you will find a host of recipes.

[@GrowingGoodHair]

I can see how these 2 go together. But i wanted to know how I can yell if the canned akee is not green. I heard its poisonous when its green and not ripe

[@TheMindfulPlate]

You’re right, Ackee can be poisonous if not ripe. I don’t think you have to worry about that once it’s canned. In all my years eating Ackee (canned and fresh) since I was a little girl I’ve never seen unripe Ackee in a can. It’s always yellow. The manufacturers have a responsibility and I’ve never heard a case of anyone being poisoned from the can. I think you’ll be safe with the can version if you can’t access fresh. My only suggestion is to rinse well because it’s very briney inside the can.

[@GrowingGoodHair]

@@TheMindfulPlate ok, thank you 🫶🏽could you tell me what colour is the ackee when it's not ripe? Is it green?

[@ShelleyChapman]

I’ve never seen it unripe nor green because it’s inside a black pod on the tree and the pod doesn’t open up until it’s ripe. Once it opens, it’s yellow.

[@GrowingGoodHair]

@@ShelleyChapman thank you! I was nervous about eating it because I noticed when I do, my stomach hurts after but I LOVE it....I might just need to rinse them off first.

[@pioneerprepper2048]

Can you use pink salt?

[@TheMindfulPlate]

Hi. If you use pink salt it will only serve as a "salty flavor". Black salt aka kala namak has a sulfuric taste and that's what gives it the "eggy" tastes. I use both. Black salt for "egg" flavor and pink salt for "salty taste".

[@giselafiege7169]

What is Aki ? I’m not sure I can get it where I live.

Hi Gisela. Ackee is a fruit from Jamaica. To find it outside of Jamaica, it will be sold where there are Caribbean or International markets. If you live in a major city like London, Toronto, Miami, New York etc where there are large Caribbean populations then it will be easier to find. It is sold canned in brine. The other possibility is to order it online. If you can’t find Ackee, then you can just use the pumpkin seed, however the scramble won’t be as fluffy.

Hey Leonard. It's so interesting when I learn about the results of these studies. I think one of the things that's missing....is that they point to the "eggs" or whatever food, and while I don't doubt that this is true.....what's missing is the chemical makeup of the "eggs" or whatever foods. Because eggs have been consumed for ages without giving humans problems....it's only recently with the chemical food production that we start to see health complications in humans who eat these.
