Final Thoughts
You don’t need to love everything to respect its purpose.
But you can honor what cultures have known for generations:
👉 That nothing should be wasted — and nourishment hides where others see trash.
So next time you’re browsing the freezer aisle…
pause.
Pick up a bag.
Simmer it slow.
Taste the tradition.
Because real wellness isn’t about trends.
It’s about wisdom — passed down through broth, memory, and care.
And that kind of depth?
It doesn’t come fast.
It comes from patience — and a pot left gently bubbling on the stove.
