KIWI THE ONE SUPERFRUIT! Can dogs eat? Just discovered that kiwis, a nutrient-dense fruit packed with vitamin C, fiber, and potassium—three nutrients that are great additions to your dog’s diet—make for a fun, zesty treat for our furry friends (minus the skin and seeds, for small breed of course)! 🍃🐶 3 Beneficial Inclusions in Kiwis for Dogs Consider these nutritional benefits your dog can gain from occasionally enjoying kiwi as a treat: 1. Antioxidants: Kiwi contains high levels of beta carotene, folate, and lutein. These antioxidants protect dogs' cells from free radicals and boost their immune systems to fight infections. 2. Essential vitamins and minerals: Kiwis contain nutrients that are beneficial to both humans and dogs, such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin K. These nutrients are important for healthy skin and circulatory systems, among others. Additionally, kiwis contain minerals like potassium and calcium. These organic compounds improve muscle growth and maintain dogs’ bone strength and bone density. 3. Fiber: Kiwi has a high fiber content in comparison to other fruits. Insoluble fiber can help regulate your dog's digestive system. Kiwi also contains actinidin, a digestive enzyme that helps dogs break down protein and nutrients in the animal’s regular dog food or kibble. While dogs can enjoy this tropical snack, remember that moderation is key, and a quick chat with the vet is always a smart move. Who knew our pups could enjoy a taste of the kiwi life? 🥝🐾 #petnutrition #comingsoon #nutripe #kiwiforpets Link to source article from dogster.com in the https://lnkd.in/gyzeajxH

~ Purple Dead Nettle ~ Lamium Purpureum ~ Such a beautiful yet understated plant. With her gorgeous orchid like little flowers, delicately detailed furry leaves, and abundance all through winter, this is a lovely garden companion to keep the bees feed over winter. What's more, Purple Dead Nettle (and the closley related Henbit) are both super nutritious plants with a long list of medicinal properties. Stop ripping it out of your garden! Purple Dead Nettle is believed to be highly nutritious, abundant in vitamins, especially high in Vitamin C, Iron & fibre. Medicinally the plant has been used to boost the immune system and is said to have antihistamine anti inflammatory, anti bacterial, antifungal, diuretic & astringent properties. Given the astringent properties, the leaves can be used in first aid as a poultice applied to open woulds to stop bleeding. It’s also used for excessive bleeding during mensturation & hemorrahaging. Dead Nettle can be used as a blood purifier which makes it good for use with skin rashes & eczema. You can enjoy Dead Nettle in a herbal tea, although beware that drinking too much can have laxative effects. Given the antihistamine properties, a Dead Nettle tea can be taken to enhance your bodies resistance to seasonal allergies. Most gardeners rip these gems from their garden, believing them to be 'weeds', but I dare you to have a little nibble, and you'll discover a varying array of flavors. Often described as mushroomy, earthy, grassy, astringent, even minty or spicy, Dead Nettle carries many tastes. I've noticed a lot of difference in flavor through the seasons and have to admit I'm enjoying the taste much more in the fresh, wet season flourishes. Making Dead Nettle Butter has been one of the highlights of my foraging workshops, I was pleasantly suprised when it was a total hit! You'll learn all about Purple Dead Nettle in my online foraging course (last week to enrol with 50% off) and also in my Wet Season Foraging Guide. You'll also find the delicious Dead Nettle Butter recipe in both the online course and foraging guide: https://lnkd.in/gV72pZgd
