Hey guys! I am here in Saussignac, in the
region of wine. We're like really, truly
the heart of the polyphenols which I've
spoken a lot to you about, the heart of
where so much of our nutrition can truly
come from, which is like the dark berries.
These are some of the seeds that I want
to talk to you a little bit about that
come from the grape. So for the past
decade I've been fascinated by the
health benefits that we get from not
just berries, but also the seeds. And so
these little seeds are all organic. They
come from my friend,
Thierry's vineyard. He is the wine grower. I
don't know if you want to show some of
the bottles of wine here. We're in
part of his facility and this is all
organic and this is all biodynamic wine.
So what is biodynamic wine? It's really
taking the principles of organics, so the
pure, natural consistency of an
environment and really helping to boost
it and support it. So when you plant, it
depends on where the season is, depends
on what time of the month it is. So that
you get the energy of the cycles of the
earth, you also utilize things like
manure that help to strengthen the soil.
Thierry speaks a lot about the power of
the terroir and the terroir is the
environment, it's the climate, it's the
quality of the soil, it's the nutrients
in the soil. Biodynamic is like taking
organic and supercharging it. It's like
giving it a multivitamin, giving the soil
a multivitamin. Paying attention to all
these different factors and the reason I
bring it up to you is not so that you
find everything that's biodynamic but
that you understand when you consume
something that is biodynamic, you're
getting a supercharged and that's what I
love about it. So these little seeds when
when when Terry presses the wine what
happens is these little seeds are what's
left over.
What's left over is the liquid gold. It's,
it's the skins, it's the pulp that
doesn't become part of the the juice or
the wine, right? And that's what I love to
consume and that's what I want you to
consume. So whenever you are making
something in your kitchen for example,
and you've got the skin, and you've got
the pulp, or you've got the pith, those
are the parts of the plant that I want
you consuming because that's where
you're gonna truly like, supercharge your
health. You're gonna get that nutrient
density and so I just wanted you to see.
You know, so many people will throw these
away. But we know that the science around
grape seeds, grape seed oil. I love to use
grape seed oil in the kitchen. It's so
powerful because it's filled with so
many antioxidants. There's so much
nutrient density in here and the key
message to you is just eat the seeds
incorporate seeds into what you prepare.
You know we eat a lot of seeds anyway.
But there's so much new and exciting,
interesting data around seeds and so in
the link below I'm gonna add some grape
seed recipes that you can enjoy and
benefit from. And again, just wanting to
really share with you a little bit of
what's here. So Thierry,  if you were to
describe... what do you use the grape seeds for?
- I just used that on my skin.
- Directly and without problems. It's very easy to use.
So I love grape seed. I love the grape seed oil. I put it all
over my skin. I just put it on my hands
and it feels so- I put it on my left hand
and it feels so incredibly soft and it's
so nourishing and it's got so many
antioxidants in it and because it comes
from the grape and you've got some very
low levels of resveratrol and you've got
some monomers and you've got some
different polyphenols.
You're literally embracing the youth
that exists within these seeds that
exist with within the as we call it in
France, the moth and that's everything
that's left over after the wine is pressed.
So what Terry does is he presses the
wine and then I get access to all of
this organic Mothe which is the seeds,
the stems, the vines, all of the good
stuff that really is like liquid gold
for our health and our well-being. Thanks
for watching.
I can't wait to share with you more
interesting ingredients from all over
the world that can help you to live your
absolute like best most energized
incredible life.
