How Does This Ayurvedic Recipe Improve Wellness?
CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
Pecans are high in tannins, which are astringent and hot. Roasting or soaking pecans helps neutralize tannins and mellow the bitterness of pecans, making them more suitable for Vata types with constipation, gas, or bloating.
The sweetness and spices all help to make the pecans more digestible. Nuts are dry and difficult to digest. They must be thoroughly chewed. Vata body types should sip warm water when eating dry nuts to avoid dehydration and dry stomach syndrome.
Nuts are rich in fats and are an important tonic for the fall, when the body needs more fats in order to insulate against the dropping temperatures. WHAT IS GLAZED SWEET & SPICY PECANS?This recipe was modified from the Southern Favorite, Cajun Spiced Pecans. Roasting the nuts brings a deep and satisfying aroma. These nuts can be used as a garnish on pumpkin pie, or as a snack all on their own.

INCREASES![Guna Help]()
Increases These Biocharacteristics (Gunas)
Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics
(gunas).
Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance.
By knowing which characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct imbalances before you get sick.
Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold).
You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite characteristic.

The 6 Tastes
Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and effects of food.
Each taste has a specific medicinal effect on your body.
Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving specific medicinal results from food.
Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your body's reaction to foods.
Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion.
Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste.

LEARN MORE ABOUT SWEET | DOSHAS![Dosha Help]()
The Three Doshas / Body Types
According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine,
people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person.
Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness.
Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency.
Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses.
The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.
The 3 functional body types
(doshas),
are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy. They are easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry.
Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed.
Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.

Try using dark Indian sugar, in this recipe. I've made it with the dark jaggery, with cinnamon and pinch of salt (and cayenne if you like). Then, optionally, a little bit of melted dark chocolate! So yummy! This version of jaggery is not commonly found, and called "refined" i.e. because it is so concentrated with minerals and less sweet. Ayurveda uses it for iron building after childbirth, when we can find it. Good quality Kholapur jaggery is also quite nice. Looking forward to trying your recipe, John. I never had an exact measure to use ;-) Ysha
PS - I would change your recipe servings # though. Easy to eat 1/2 cup, seems pretty heavy dose!
