Food for Thought

Nuts are a good source of vitamin E and unsaturated fats. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from damage, especially in case of prolonged exposure to the sun. If the grape molasses is too thick to be measured, place the molasses jar in boiling water for few minutes before emptying it. Region:Chouf

Ingredients
  1. 4 cups wheat kernels
  2. ¾  cup almonds
  3. ⅓  cup pine nuts
  4. ½  cup walnuts
  5. 3.5 L water
  6. 4 tbsp milk powder (Can be replaced by one cup of liquid milk. In this case, reduce the quantity of water by one cup.)
  7. 1 ½  cups grape molasses
  8. ½  tsp nutmeg
