When it comes to managing your daily methionine intake, apples aren’t really a big concern as they contain such low levels. However, it’s important to try and use activated and organic nuts in recipes whenever possible. The recipe we are providing yields 250 grams of nut butter, but we have based the methionine and calorie calculations on a 50-gram serving. Macadamia nuts are the best choice for those who are keeping an eye on their methionine intake, and they also happen to be filling and highly nutritious. Incorporating these nuts into your diet can add some much-needed calories, which are especially important for those following a low-methionine diet. Macadamia nuts are also low on the glycemic index, meaning they release energy slowly and help to slow down the sugar release from the apple.
If you don’t have any macadamia nuts we have successfully used this recipe with almonds, peanuts and sunflower seeds as well. Top with blueberries or other low-methionine foods that are said to starve cancer.
Disclaimer – Whilst I have taken all the care possible to calculate the methionine to the closest level, I cannot guarantee that this is correct as there is not a lot of data available to support exact methionine content. Please adhere to the weight of food over cup measurements.
