Cooking truly healthy means cooking food in such a way that all its nutrients remain intact and free of all kinds of toxins. To achieve this, the first step would obviously be to choose the right ingredients: all-natural, organic, unprocessed, and nutrient-dense. The second step is even more important: cooking these ingredients the right way.
Most people are good at choosing healthy ingredients, but not everyone uses the healthiest cookware, the ones that are 100% non-toxic and preserve delicate nutrients while cooking with food-friendly heat. You should also block the steam coming out of the food because this steam is water soluble nutrients.
Our ancestors used pure clay pots for cooking, no wonder they lived a life with far fewer health problems than we do. Today, conventional metal and ceramic cookware are widely used for cooking, which is becoming extremely harmful to health. Metals and ceramics release chemical and metallic toxins during cooking that react with the nutrients in the food and form compounds that accumulate in the body. When this continues to happen over a long period of time, it affects the body on a cellular level and begins to damage the organs. This contributes to common diseases like diabetes, heart problems, blood pressure, and life-threatening diseases like cancer. This is probably why the wealthiest people face the most health problems, as they have access to the most expensive cookware made of ceramic and non-stick with harmful coatings.
Fortunately, it’s still possible to get cookware that’s as healthy as the ones our ancestors used. Unglazed cookware made from pure, all-natural clay cooks food without contaminating it while preserving all its nutrients. ‘Unglazed’ because all kinds of glazes and glazes are full of chemicals that poison food while cooking.
Pure clay is the best quality of clay, also known as primary clay, which is harvested from uncultivated and non-industrialized land after testing samples for all kinds of toxins. After procuring the raw material, the next step is to make pots without using chemicals. Any mechanized process would require the use of chemicals, so the best way to make pots and pans from pure clay is to use the ancient method of throwing clay on a potter’s wheel and using skilled hands to shape it into usable pots. The process is tedious but worth it because it is the only way to make the healthiest cookware.
The pot made this way is free of toxins and keeps the nutrients of the food intact so that you get the healthiest and most nutritious food every time you cook in a pot of pure clay!
