Paleo Coconut Pineapple Drumsticks is one of the dishes Shawn enjoys. Shawn loves drumsticks much more than I do, and he eats pineapple. Shawn is not always on the Keto diet, depending on his weight-lifting and running routines. I made up this recipe one evening. I had a 5 pound batch of drumsticks. I went into the cupboard and found a can of whole fat coconut milk and a can of unsweetened pineapple. We both advocate and love Turmeric. I decided to make this recipe with these 3 ingredients. The dish turned out well and super tasty, not to mention quick to make.

Turmeric is so important in our diet. Turmeric is a native plant of south-east Asia. It is also cultivated in India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, China, Taiwan, Peru, Haiti, and Jamaica. The largest production of turmeric comes from Indian. In fact, India grows and consumes about 80 percent of the world’s production.

WHAT IS THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF PALEO COCONUT PINEAPPLE DRUMSTICKS?

These Paleo Coconut Pineapple Drumsticks hit the nutritional spot. The recipe includes Turmeric. Turmeric is a spice that has been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine and cuisine. It contains a compound called curcumin, which has been shown to have powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These properties make turmeric a valuable addition to any diet.

In terms of nutrition, turmeric is a good source of iron, potassium, and vitamin B6. It also contains small amounts of vitamin C and magnesium. Additionally, studies have shown that curcumin may help improve brain function, reduce the risk of heart disease, and even help prevent certain types of cancer.

Overall, incorporating turmeric into your diet can offer a range of health benefits. It can be used to add flavor and color to a variety of dishes, including curries, soups, and stews. You can also find turmeric in supplement form if you prefer not to use it in cooking. As with any supplement, it’s always a good idea to talk to your doctor before adding it to your regimen.

WHAT IS THE TASTE PROFILE OF PALEO COCONUT PINEAPPLE DRUMSTICKS?

Keto Low-carb Coconut-Coated Drumsticks

The predominant taste sensations of Paleo Coconut Pineapple Drumsticks are sweetness from the coconut and pineapple, pleasant bitterness and warmth from the tumeric, and spicy zing from the fresh ginger.

WHAT WINE HARMONIZES WITH PALEO COCONUT PINEAPPLE DRUMSTICKS?

The savoury nature of this Paleo Coconut Pineapple Drumsticks dish reduces the sweetness of the coconut and pineapple. But it’s still sweet. So choose a white, non alcoholic wine with some sweetness. Not a lot. Just a bit. Examples include Riesling or off-dry Gewurztraminer. An off-dry rose also works. This means your wine can contain about 2 to 2.5 grams of sugar per 1 ounce of non alcoholic wine. No more. But also consider this…do you want to add extra sugar to your meal? Monitoring sugar intake is important because it helps prevent blood sugar spikes and crashes, reduces the risk of health issues like obesity and diabetes, and maintains overall well-being. Choose hot tea, I say. You can always pair the flavours of the crumble with those in the tea.

Here are five teas that could complement it:

Lemongrass Tea: Lemongrass has citrusy notes that can enhance the tropical flavors of the dish. Its light and refreshing taste can provide a nice contrast to the richness of the coconut and savory chicken.
Ginger Tea: Ginger’s spiciness can complement the sweetness of the pineapple and the richness of the coconut. It can also aid digestion, which might be helpful after a satisfying meal like coconut pineapple drumsticks.
Hibiscus Tea: Hibiscus tea offers a tart and fruity flavor that can balance the sweetness of the pineapple while adding a refreshing element to the meal.
Green Tea with Mint: Green tea’s grassy notes combined with the refreshing mint can provide a palate-cleansing effect between bites of the savory drumsticks. The mint can also offer a cooling contrast to the warmth of the dish.
Chamomile Tea: Chamomile’s gentle, floral flavor can offer a soothing and calming experience that complements the rich and savory flavors of the drumsticks.

Zero Alcohol Wine Tips:

ALCOHOL AND HEALTH:

Did you know that when you consume alcohol, your liver has to work extra hard to break it down? This can result in damage to your liver. Furthermore, it can elevate your risk of health issues such as inflammation and cancer, particularly with heavy consumption. Additionally, alcohol can disrupt your blood sugar levels, leaving you feeling dehydrated and disrupting your body’s normal functions.

NON-ALCOHOLIC WINE AND HEALTH BENEFITS:

Non-alcoholic wines with minimal carbs and sugar are advantageous for your health. They not only aid in weight management, blood sugar control, and hydration but also contain essential nutrients and antioxidants from grapes that can decrease your risk of health conditions like heart disease. Consequently, since they lack alcohol, they’re ideal for socializing without any adverse effects, promoting feelings of happiness and reduced stress.

Know the sugar content before purchasing.
