Averrhoa Bilimbi a.k.a Sour Cucumber Tree

Published

on

The Averrhoa Bilimbi species is a fruit-bearing tree of the genus Averrhoa, family Oxalidaceae. It is a close relative of the carambola tree (starfruit), and like the starfruit it does great on the edge of the smoothie glass.

Growing this species, know that the tree likes sun to shoot fruit, so pruning him or her of inner leaves can help get sun to the trunk. This species likes to branch out, I have wanted to try to do some shaping with it.

Sour Cucumber & Miracle Berry

Synsepalum dulcificum (miracle berry) & Bilimbi (sour cucumber)

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), roughly 80% of Africa and Asia use the traditional medicine to address some of their primary health care needs. Certain Egyptian medical papyrus created during the fourteen century show preparations of plant materials in the form of decoction, infusion, powder, or paste that have been used in traditional medicine for prevention and treatment of different diseases and for strengthening themselves as organisms overall. People in Europe, medications Australia, and North America increasingly embrace the use of herbs and all natural sources to compliment the western medicines. In this direction, Averrrhoa Bilimbi is one of the important known medicinal plants of many tropical and subtropical countries that has wide use and history in traditional systems of medicine for the treatment of a spectrum of ailments, particularly in the antidiabetic, antihypertensive, thrombolytic, hepatoprotective and antimicrobial applications.

Leaves

Dedicated Nutritional Diversifists’, know that here are the Panama Nutritional Study we are big on leaves, and leaf consumption when appropriate with certain fruit tree species. A phytochemical screening of the leaves shows the presence of alkaloid, tannins, saponins, flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, glycosides, triterpenes, phenols, and carbohydrate. The isolation of seven compounds from the leaves; using methanol extract of squalene, 3-(6, 10, 14-trimethylpentadecan-2-yl) furan-2 (5H)-one, 2,3-bis (2, 6, 10-trimethylundeca-1, 5, 9-trienyl) oxirane, phytol, 3,4-Dihydroxyhexanedioic acid, malonic acid, and 4,5-Dihydroxy-2-methylenehydroxybenzaldehyde. The leaves would have to be young, and 90 percent, I think should be cooked. I need to more work with this species, notably the leaves. I have yet to really experiment with the edibility or use of these leaves.

Rare and exotic, yet well known to many cultures. ..

In Indonesia bilimbi, is often used to give sour flavor to food, like where tamarindo, lime or tomato might be used. In the north western province of Aceh, it is preserved by salting and sun-drying to make ‘asam sunti,’ a seasoning to make a variety of condiments and dishes.

Philippines, where it is commonly found in backyards, the fruits are eaten either fresh of the tree or dipped into rock salt as a street treat. Also is used curried or added as a souring agent for common cooking. It is being sun-dried for preservation. It is also used to make salad mixed with tomatoes, chopped onions with soy sauce as dressing.

Fresh bilimbi is prepared as relish and then served with rice and beans in rare Costa Rican locations.

Here in Bocas del Toro Panama, Isla Colon, I start these guys in my nursery, and use them as a integral part of my all natural pre-workout perfomance smoothie that I make on site, when they are around. I am lucky to have access to them at a friends. With the particular shake I couple it with a berry known here as the miracle berry, a novelty taste bud changer, is also a powerful to the performance drink and turns the super sour into super sweet, and it really does go down as candy. I do my bitter tasting plants, such as dandelion leaf, or gavilana for the day in this blend. Today was the before mentioned and wild zornia leaf and flower, noni leaf, , ktuk, mugwort, and avocado leaf.

In the Far East, where the tree originated – it is sometimes added to curry.

In Malaysia, it is made into a jelly-its good!

In Kerala and Bhatkal, India, it is used for making pickles and to make fish curry, especially with Sardines, while around Karnataka, Maharashtra and Goa the fruit is commonly eaten raw with salt and spice. In Guyana and Mauritius, this is also done. The combination of salt in many cultures, says something about preservation, the important of salt, and may also be telling of a hydration trick. For this reason I do a few salt pinches after my smoothie.I do the same after mango, a like fruit who also sees multi-cultural combination with salt.

In Seychelles, it is often used to fish dishes. It is often used in grilled fish and also (almost always) in a shark meat dish, called satini reken. It is also used with chopped onion, chopped tomato, chopped chili and cooked on low heat in order to make a great sauce.

Bilimbi juice (with a pH of about 4.47) is made into a cooling beverage. It is sometimes used to replace mango in making chutney. Additionally, the fruit can be preserved by pickling, which reduces its acidity.

Mauritius (Creole) is an island nation in the Indian Ocean. The main Island of Mauritius is located about 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) off the southeast coast of the African continent. The Republic of Mauritius includes the islands of Rodrigues, Agalega and St. Brandon. Traditional dishes that include many of the highly potent medicinal exotic foods such as the recipe known by ‘achard bilimbi.’

Abstract

Better Supplement Taking

Published

on

Powdered supplements can bind with real foods in smoothies, and soak and process better this way.

🧬 Why Powdered Supplements Bind and Work Better with Real Foods in Smoothies

Powdered supplements are often isolated compounds — vitamins, minerals, amino acids, adaptogens, enzymes, proteins, etc. — that are highly concentrated but not always naturally bioavailable on their own. Meaning: your body might not absorb or utilize them as efficiently unless they are delivered in a more natural, whole-food matrix.


🥣 What Happens When You Blend Supplements into Real-Food Smoothies

  1. You Create a Natural “Carrier Matrix”
    Real foods — fruits, vegetables, seeds, and roots — are rich in enzymes, fibers, fats, and natural cofactors that help escort nutrients through digestion.
    When powdered supplements are blended into these foods, the compounds get absorbed into the moisture, the fibers, and the fats of the smoothie, mimicking how nutrients appear in nature. This improves uptake.

  2. You Pre-Hydrate and Activate the Powdered Compounds
    Powders in dry form are inert. When you soak or blend them into liquids (especially with plant enzymes), you start the breakdown process. This makes the nutrients more “bioactive,” or ready to be absorbed, especially in the gut.

  3. You Reduce Digestive Stress
    Isolated powders can sometimes be harsh — especially on empty stomachs. But when mixed with food, the digestive system treats the whole mixture more like a meal, not a foreign chemical. This allows for smoother digestion and better assimilation.

  4. You Enhance Synergy
    Some nutrients need companions to be absorbed properly:

    • Fat-soluble vitamins (like A, D, E, K) absorb better when fat is present (like from coconut, nuts, seeds)

    • Minerals like magnesium and zinc are better absorbed with amino acids or acids (like lemon, greens, or fruit acids)

    • Protein and adaptogens are more effective when metabolized slowly alongside real fiber and phytonutrients

    So, adding your powdered supplement to a smoothie enhances the synergy of multiple nutrients working together — just like nature intended.

HEY!!!  CLEAN WATER IS NUMBER 1!!!


✅ Example: Jungle Juice Style Smoothie

  • Water or coconut water

  • 1 scoop powdered supplement (diverse formula)

  • Banana or papaya (enzymes + potassium)

  • Wild greens or herbs (cofactors, chlorophyll)  [!!HIGH DIVERSITY!!]

  • Seeds or nut butter (healthy fats for absorption) (lectins [i] destroyed if pressure-cooked, powdered, or buttered in seeds)

  • Splash of citrus or vinegar (acid for mineral absorption) (or not)

  • Blend = Bioactive powerhouse


🔁 Bottom Line:

Powdered supplements are just the start. The real alchemy happens when they bind with real food.

Blending them into smoothies:

  • Mimics natural digestion

  • Enhances bioavailability

  • Boosts effectiveness

  • Reduces stress on the gut

  • Unlocks the full potential of the formula

Nutritional Diversity Supplements, A New Age of Nutrition is Here

Published

🌿 A New Age of Nutrition Is Here

Most nutritionists don’t know how nutrition is actually cultivated in nature.
They don’t understand ecosystems — they understand isolated compounds.
They don’t build vitality — they prescribe boxes.

Much like modern agriculture, today’s nutrition field is dominated by shortcuts and chemicals. Synthetic vitamins, mass-produced crops, sterile soils, and monoculture mindsets. These systems cheat nature — and nature always pushes back.

The consequences?
Wrecked soil. Broken guts. Fragile immune systems. A sick planet and a sick population.
Not just humans — but animals, microbes, insects, and even fungi are caught in the backlash.


💥 We Are Building a Better Way

At Nutritional Diversity, we don’t accept that.
We’ve outperformed mainstream systems — in the jungle, in the gym, in healing, in every measure that counts.

We are now entering the supplement space not to compete… but to replace.
We will use today’s manufacturing only as a bridge — our long-term mission is to build a completely new:

  • Sourcing network

  • Cultivation ecosystem

  • Ingredient preparation system

  • Manufacturing + probiotic delivery model

Rooted in nature’s complexity, not synthetic simplicity.  [i]


🛠️ From Monocultures to Permacultures

We are converting monoculture zones into regenerative permaculture ecosystems,
restoring biodiversity and unlocking the real medicine — nutrient-dense, wild-aligned food.

We’re not just making supplements.
We’re starting a nutritional revolution that frees people from the centrally controlled food system — one capsule, one field, and one mind at a time.


💚 Join the Movement

This isn’t just about health.
It’s about reconnection.
To the soil.
To the body.
To the Source.

We are recruiting new souls to the love we were separated from.
Our vision is enormous — and enormously important.

Let’s build it.
Together.

  • We could make an extreme picot go down the path of ecological enhancement and create an Avatar Movie-like wonderland paradise.
  • We could come up with an easy-to-make one-issue voter system to where we can take a fingerprint and multi-source verified vote on issues like involvement in conflicts, or new agriculture projects such as a Department of Nature, or genius Diodynamic farming proposals.
  • We could go down the path of industry, tech advancement, interstellar endeavors, and exterior adventures.
  • We could continue to go down the path of selfishness, war, and ego.
