#Cellcare ingredient health benefits
BROCCOLI | DETOXIFYING & ANTIOXIDANT-RICH
Broccoli is a cruciferous powerhouse loaded with sulforaphane, a compound that supports liver detoxification and cellular repair. It’s rich in vitamin C and K, helping to boost immunity and support bone health.
EGGPLANT | POLYPHENOL-PACKED FOR CELLULAR PROTECTION
The deep purple skin of eggplant contains nasunin, a potent antioxidant that protects brain cells from oxidative stress. Eggplants also support cardiovascular health and provide gut-friendly fiber.
CASHEWS | CREAMY HEALTHY FAT SOURCE
Cashews deliver plant-based protein, zinc, and magnesium—all essential for cellular energy and muscle function. Their healthy monounsaturated fats help balance hormones and support brain health.
GINGER | DIGESTIVE FIRE & INFLAMMATION REDUCER
Ginger enhances circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports digestion by stimulating digestive enzymes. It’s a key Ayurvedic ingredient for balancing metabolism and immunity.
WELLKHANA KITCHEN RECIPE
Ingredients:
For the Stir-Fry:
1 tablespoon coconut or avocado oil
1 red chili, thinly sliced (adjust to spice preference)
1 cup carrots, julienned
1 cup yellow squash, sliced
2 cups broccoli florets
1 small purple eggplant, cubed
1 cup baby spinach or bok choy (optional, for greens boost)
1 tablespoon tamari or coconut aminos
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (for finishing)
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Cashew Ginger Sauce:
½ cup raw cashews (soaked for 2–3 hours or boiled for 10 minutes)
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
1 tablespoon maple syrup or date syrup
2 tablespoons tamari or coconut aminos
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
¼ cup warm water (add more for thinner consistency)
Instructions:
Prepare the Sauce | Blend all sauce ingredients in a high-speed blender until creamy. Adjust water for desired consistency. Set aside.
Sauté the Veggies | Heat coconut oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add red chili and carrots; stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add yellow squash, broccoli, and eggplant. Continue to stir-fry for 5–7 minutes until the veggies are crisp-tender.
Add the Flavor | Drizzle with tamari and toss to coat. Remove from heat, then stir in baby spinach or bok choy if using—allow residual heat to gently wilt the greens.
Combine & Serve | Pour the Cashew Ginger Sauce over the stir-fried vegetables and toss well. Finish with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil for that final umami touch.
Garnish & Enjoy | Serve immediately over quinoa, brown rice, or noodles. Top with crushed cashews, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro for added crunch and aroma.
Optional Garnishes:
Toasted cashews or sesame seeds
Fresh cilantro or scallions
Lime wedges
Chili flakes for heat
