Okay, I’ll start by confessing that I’m not actually recommending you eat Shamrocks. But it just so happens that one of my very favourite foods looks like Shamrocks. I absolutely LOVE pea shoots, and if you look at the image, you’ll see they aren’t that different from a Shamrock. They are tender with a subtle sweetness to them that makes them a great addition to many dishes. This nutrient-dense, little shoot also happens to contain an enzyme called Diamine Oxidase (DAO), which help to break down histamines in your GI tract (a topic for another time). I like these so much that I eat them almost daily, so today I’d like to share some great ways to add these to your diet - just in time for a Shamrock St. Patrick’s Day meal.
