Nota: luego de recibir un comentario sobre las supuestas “maldades” de los aceites de palma y coco, incluyo la siguiente información a manera de contribuir un poco en lo que se refiere a educación en nutrición.
——-***——-
Desde el final de la década de los años 50, hemos sido ahogados con el equivocado mensaje de que si comemos “aceites” vamos a engordar y que las grasas saturadas (como las encontradas en la mantequilla, huevos y carnes rojas) no son saludables, y que las grasas y aceites tropicales (como el aceite de coco y de palma) son casi mortales.
A pesar de que algunos hemos unido nuestros esfuerzos para eliminar las “grasas saturadas” de nuestras dietas por miedo a los altos niveles de colesterol y arterias obstruidas—-los niveles de obesidad, problemas del corazón y cáncer en la población siguen en aumento! Cierto?
Literatura recomendada al respecto incluye:
Eat Fat Lose Fat, escrito por la Dra. Mary Ening (experta internacional de bioquímica de los alimentos y grasas) y Sally Fallon (Presidente de la Fundación Weston A. Price)
En el website de la Fundación Weston A. Price podrán encontrar valiosísima info. variada sobre nutrición. La dirección es: http://westonaprice.org

This recipe is very tasty. I used Snapper which has a firm white flesh.
I generally use lemon juice so the juice of the limes was a nice change.
