Green peas have the ability to support hair follicle regeneration and hair growth. The chlorophyll in them differs from that in many other vegetables and herbs, as it contains enzymes that stimulate and restore weakened hair follicles. Additionally, green peas are rich in various micronutrients that also contribute to new hair growth.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups green peas (frozen or fresh, shelled)
• ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 clove garlic, finely minced
• 2 tsp finely chopped ripe jalapeño
• ¼ tsp ground cumin
• ¼ tsp ground coriander
• ½ tsp sea salt (optional)
• ⅓ cup chopped tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
• ¼ cup finely chopped onion (optional – white, yellow, or red)
• ¼ cup fresh coriander leaves, coarsely chopped

Method of preparation:

If using frozen peas, place them in a colander and rinse with warm water until thawed.

Then steam the thawed or fresh peas for 3-4 minutes until tender. Cool them under cold running water until pleasantly cool to the touch.

Place the peas, lime juice, garlic, jalapeño, cumin, coriander, and sea salt (if using) in a food processor. Blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the tomatoes, onion, and fresh coriander. Stir gently until evenly distributed.

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Serves 2

Notes:

• If possible, use organic green peas.
• Although adding quality sea or rock salt is optional, the recipe is more healing without salt. If you gradually get used to the taste, you can reduce the amount over time or exclude it completely.
