22 Superfoods To Keep Your Immune System Fighting Fit
Bolster your defences
Washing your hands and keeping away from people who are ill are the most effective ways to stay well – but eating healthily, and thereby avoiding nutritional deficiencies, is another vital weapon in your immune health armory. Tuck into these top foods, suggested by loveFOOD's nutritionist Angela Dowden, to help give your immune system a boost.

Tuck into a daily carrot
Adding a cooked carrot to your daily diet is a great way to boost health. Heat softens the carrot's cell walls, allowing more beta carotene – which helps the body produce vitamin A – to be absorbed. Just one carrot will supply enough beta carotene for your body to convert into just over the recommended daily intake of vitamin A. This is vital for your defences, as it helps to maintain the mucous passages that act as a barrier to viruses and bacteria.

Pile on the peppers
Did you know that just 6oz chopped red or green peppers will provide you with almost three times more vitamin C than an orange? Vitamin C is important for maintaining a healthy immune system, particularly during and after intensive physical activity (exercise fanatics, take note). Red peppers are also rich in vital vitamin A.

Chomp on kale
Another vegetable that packs more vitamin C than citrus fruit, kale is also a marvelous provider of vitamin A (from beta-carotene) and other immunity-boosting antioxidants, including vitamin E. For maximum flavor, try it stir-fried with garlic, or add some to your morning smoothie.

Go for garlic
Research suggests that eating garlic can help reduce your chances of catching the common cold. A freshly crushed garlic bulb is a good source of the health-boosting active ingredient allicin, which fights bacteria. If you're not a fan of the taste of garlic, you could always try garlic supplements instead.

Don’t forget protein
Protein is made up of amino acids – chemical building blocks – which are essential to support the body's immune system, helping with healing and recovery. The recommended daily intake of protein for adults is around 0.03oz per 2.2lb of body weight in Australia and the UK, and ever-so-slightly more in Canada and the US. That's around 1.5oz for the average woman and 2oz for the average man. Protein-rich foods include seafood, lean meat, poultry, eggs, beans, peas, soya products (like tofu), nuts, and seeds.

'Fine tuna' your immune system
Tuna is a protein-rich in the antioxidant selenium, which many people have in short supply in their diet. Studies have shown that a deficiency of this trace mineral may increase the severity of a flu virus. Research also suggests that selenium lowers the risk of heart disease, reduces the symptoms of asthma, and boosts immunity in general.

Try tinned sardines
Sardines can also do wonders for your immune system. Like tuna, they contain selenium – along with a smorgasbord of other nutrients, including vitamin B12, iron, and vitamin D, all of which contribute to building the body's resilience to infections. Sardines are common in the Mediterranean diet, which is lauded for its health benefits.

Make room for mushrooms
It's not just green, red, and orange foods that help your immune system – mushrooms are a decent source of selenium and B vitamins, too. Some supermarkets sell vitamin D–enriched mushrooms, which typically have 100 IU (2.5mcg) of vitamin D per 3.5oz. That's a good chunk of your recommended daily intake, 600 IU (15mcg).

Nibble on cashews, Brazils, and peanuts
All nuts are nutritious – but grab a mixture of cashews, Brazil nuts, and peanuts, and you’ll get particularly good levels of zinc, selenium, iron, and vitamin B6. All of these vitamins and minerals play a key part in keeping your immune system healthy.

Help yourself to the occasional sweet treat
In the past it was thought that sugar suppresses the immune system – however, more recent studies suggest glucose may help viral infections get better (but hamper recovery from bacterial ones). Either way, there’s no evidence that a modest amount of sugar is going to make you more susceptible to illness.

Have some honey
A 2018 study found that in children with a cough, honey relieved symptoms better than diphenhydramine (an antihistamine cough-suppressant). The NHS also recommends drinking hot lemon and honey to ease a cough – but not for children under 12 months. The sweetness of honey helps you produce more saliva, which lubricates your airways and eases cough symptoms. It's thought to reduce inflammation and break up mucus, too.

Get a boost of bacteria from kefir
Kefir provides a whole range of beneficial bacteria and yeasts, which together may help to make your immune system work more efficiently. Studies have shown that some kefir-specific microbes help to prime the immune system against bacterial infections. A product made the time-honoured way, with real kefir grains (cultures), is probably best.

Drizzle some cold-pressed rapeseed oil
A little cold-pressed rapeseed oil has all the heart-healthy monounsaturated fats found in extra virgin olive oil, plus high levels of the antioxidant vitamin E, which helps support your immune system. Vitamin C regenerates vitamin E after it's done its job of protecting cells, so vitamin C–rich vegetables like peppers and leaves are the perfect foods to team with your oil.

Eat a little red meat
Zinc helps the immune system work properly and aids in wound healing, while iron is also important for immune function. The best source of both? Lean red meat. The World Cancer Research Fund recommends that we eat no more than 18oz cooked red meat a week. Nuts contain good amounts of these nutrients, too.

In this article, we’ll dive into an amazing recipe for a creamy and delicate pudim, perfect for any occasion. This sweet delight is not overly sweet, ensuring that every bite is a melting experience. Let's explore the ingredients, method, and tips to create this culinary masterpiece.
Ingredients for the Caramel Sauce
To begin with, we'll need ingredients for the caramel:
1 cup of sugar (refined or crystal)
½ cup of water (to be added gradually)
Making the Caramel
Part 2/6:
Stirring: As the sugar starts to melt, reduce the heat to medium and stir gently with a spatula until it becomes a liquid caramel.
Adding Water: Once the sugar has fully melted, gradually introduce ½ cup of water. It is essential to add the water slowly, ensuring safety as the caramel will bubble and steam.
Thickening: Allow the mixture to boil for about 10 minutes until it thickens slightly. Afterward, pour the caramel into a round pudding mold (about 20 cm in diameter) and set it aside.
Ingredients for the Pudim
Next, let’s gather the ingredients needed for the pudim itself:
4 eggs
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
2½ cups of milk (increased milk quantity ensures a less sweet, smoother pudim)
Blending the Pudim Ingredients
Part 3/6:
Mixing: In a blender, combine the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, and the milk. Blend the mixture for about five minutes until it becomes smooth and frothy.
Combining with Caramel: Before pouring the pudim mixture into the mold, ensure that the caramel has cooled slightly. Then pour the pudim mixture directly into the mold over the caramel.
Preparing for Baking
Covering: Cover the pudim with aluminum foil or a suitable oven-safe cover to prevent drying while baking.
Creating a Water Bath: Prepare a water bath by placing the mold in a larger baking dish filled halfway with hot water. To prevent discoloration, you may add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to the water.
Baking the Pudim
Part 4/6:
Oven Settings: Place the water bath with the pudim into a preheated oven at 250 degrees Celsius (482 degrees Fahrenheit) for about one hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cooling: Once finished baking, allow the pudim to cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
Unmolding and Enjoying
Chilling: After chilling for several hours, it’s time to unmold the pudim.
Presentation: Gently loosen the edges with a knife and invert the mold onto a serving plate.
Serving: Cut into generous slices, and serve. The delicate texture paired with the soft caramel creates an authentic tasting experience that is sure to impress anyone!

A Step-by-Step Guide to Making Traditional Pudding
When it comes to desserts, few are as beloved as a traditional pudding. Its creamy texture and caramel flavor create a delightful treat that is sure to please any palate. In this article, we will guide you through a simple and foolproof recipe for making traditional pudding at home.
Ingredients You'll Need
Before we begin, let’s gather the essential ingredients:
For the Pudding:
3 eggs
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1.5 cups of milk (using the same can from the sweetened condensed milk)
For the Caramel Sauce:
1 cup of sugar
½ cup of hot water
Making the Caramel Sauce
Part 2/5:
The first step in our traditional pudding recipe is to prepare the caramel sauce. Follow these steps to achieve the perfect caramel consistency:
Begin by adding 1 cup of sugar to a saucepan.
Adjust the heat to medium and stir occasionally. You'll want the sugar to melt completely into a golden amber color. It's natural for some sugar to stay solid at first, but that will dissolve later.
Once the sugar has melted, carefully pour in ½ cup of hot water. Be cautious of the steam that rises at this point.
Stir the mixture until the sugar fully dissolves again. Once it reaches a smooth, caramel-like consistency, remove it from the heat.
Part 3/5:
Preparing the Pudding Mixture
While the caramel is cooling, it’s time to prepare your pudding mixture. Here’s what you need to do:
In a blender, combine 3 eggs, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, and 1.5 cups of milk. Blend until the mixture is well combined.
Ensure the caramel has cooled sufficiently, becoming slightly thickened. Then pour the pudding mixture directly onto the caramel in the mold.
Cover the mold with aluminum foil, ensuring the shiny side is facing inward to help keep moisture from the water bath out.
Baking the Pudding
Now that your pudding is prepared, you are ready to bake:
Part 4/5:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Place the pudding mold in a larger baking dish to create a water bath (bain-marie).
Before putting it in the oven, add hot water to the outer baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of your pudding mold.
Bake for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes. The pudding is done when it has set but still has a slight jiggle in the center.
Cooling and Serving
Once the baking time is complete, it’s important to cool your pudding properly for the best texture:
Remove the pudding from the oven and the water bath. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, run a knife around the edges to loosen it from the mold, then invert it onto a plate for serving.
Final Thoughts
Part 5/5:
This easy traditional pudding recipe is one that anyone can master, bringing the sweet taste of homemade dessert right to your table.

The Ultimate Guide to Making the Perfect Pudim
Pudim is a cherished dessert in many cultures, and it consistently ranks as a favorite among sweet treats. Whether at a family gathering or a special occasion, pudim is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. This article walks you through the steps to create a classic pudim, complete with rich caramel sauce, ensuring your dessert becomes the star of any table.
Preparing the Caramel Sauce
To kick off the pudim-making process, the key lies in preparing the luscious caramel sauce. Begin by placing sugar in a wide-bottomed saucepan to prevent burning. It’s crucial to maintain low heat and only stir the sugar once it starts to melt. Your goal is to achieve a smooth, golden-brown caramel; hence, avoid overcooking it as burnt caramel will taste bitter.
Part 2/6:
Once the sugar melts and becomes an elegant deep golden color, it’s time to add water. Allow it to boil until all sugar lumps dissolve and the caramel thickens. This delicious caramel sauce is not only for the pudim but can also be tailored to your liking using alternative styles shown in accompanying videos.
Molding the Pudim
With your caramel ready, pour it into a 19 cm diameter mold with a central hole, carefully covering the base before swirling it on the sides for an even coat. If you wish to create mini pudins, use smaller molds and apply the caramel in the same manner.
Blending the Pudim Mixture
Part 3/6:
Now that the mold is prepared, you can finally start making your pudim mixture. Preheat your oven to 180ºC. In a blender, combine ingredients starting with milk. A standard measure is using two cans of milk, ensuring a creamy outcome. Next, incorporate eggs – cracking each one separately will safeguard the mixture from any imperfections.
The blender should run until the mixture appears smooth and uniform. For a lighter variation, you can substitute regular milk with low-fat options without compromising flavor. For those looking to switch it up, consider a twist: replace a portion of milk with orange juice for a refreshing citrus pudim, or add melted dark chocolate for a rich chocolate pudim. Spice enthusiasts can also enhance the flavor with Nescafé and cinnamon.
Baking the Pudim
Part 4/6:
Once blended, gently pour the mixture into the prepared mold over the caramel. Ensure to pour slowly and through the center hole to avoid disrupting the caramel layer below. Cover the top of the mold with aluminum foil and place it into a larger baking dish.
Fill the larger dish with hot water, ensuring water reaches about halfway up the sides of your pudim mold—this method is known as "bain-marie" or water bath. The use of a water bath is critical as it allows the pudim to cook slowly and evenly, resulting in the beloved texture we all enjoy. Bake in the preheated oven for an estimated time of one hour and thirty minutes.
Cooling and Unmolding
Part 5/6:
After baking, let the pudim cool before placing it into the refrigerator for at least six hours. This cooling period is essential for achieving the right firmness.
Once cooled, it’s time to unmold your pudim. A useful tip is to briefly pass the mold through a flame to loosen the caramel. Run a spatula or a blunt knife along the edges to help separate it from the sides. Then, gently tilt the mold and flip it onto a serving plate, letting gravity aid in the unmolding process.
Conclusion
Part 6/6:
At long last, the pudim is beautifully presented, glistening with its caramel layer intact. The success of homemade pudim is not just in its taste but also in the pride of serving a dessert made with love. This silky, delectable dessert promises to delight everyone, earning you the admiration of your family and friends. Go ahead, indulge in your culinary masterpiece!

Making the Perfect Condensed Milk Pudding for Father's Day
Hello to all my beloved followers! Today, we embark on an exciting culinary journey as we prepare a special recipe perfect for Father's Day. We are going to create a delicious pudim de leite condensado or condensed milk pudding that is not only simple but also foolproof. With the right steps, you can whip up a delightful dessert that your father will surely love.
With the ingredients ready, let’s dive into this festive cooking adventure!
Ingredients Required
To make this wonderful pudding, you will need the following ingredients:
Two boxes of milk (Use the same box used for the sweetened condensed milk, approximately 600 ml)
One can of sweetened condensed milk
Three eggs
For the caramel sauce:
Part 2/5:
One cup of sugar (200 ml)
Three-quarters of a cup of water (it’s essential to add a little more water to get the right consistency of the caramel)
Creating the Caramel Sauce
Start by melting the sugar over medium-low heat to avoid burning. Stir occasionally to help it melt evenly. It may seem daunting initially, but patience will yield a beautifully golden caramel sauce.
Once the sugar is fully melted, gently add the pre-heated water (to avoid a sudden temperature shock) and allow it to boil and dissolve any remaining sugar lumps. After a few minutes, you'll notice the caramel thickening to the perfect consistency, ready to coat the base of your pudding mold.
Preparing the Pudding Mixture
Part 3/5:
Now, let’s focus on preparing the pudding itself. You can choose whether you want a creamier pudding or one with a few air bubbles, commonly called "furinhos". For a creamy version, beat the eggs and sweetened condensed milk together until smooth.
Gradually add the milk while mixing gently to avoid incorporating air into the mixture. If you prefer the texture with air bubbles, you can whisk the mixture in a blender instead. However, for this recipe, aim to keep it as smooth as possible.
Straining and Baking
To ensure the mixture remains uniformly smooth, pass it through a fine sieve before pouring it into the pudding mold. Prepare the mold by pouring in the caramel sauce, then gently add your pudding mixture on top.
Part 4/5:
Cover the mold tightly with aluminum foil and place it into a baking dish filled with water (around three fingers deep) to create a steam bath. Pre-heat your oven to 160 degrees Celsius (320 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake for approximately an hour.
Finishing Touches
Once baked, remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool at room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator for an hour. To unmold the pudding, briefly heat the bottom of the mold over a stove to loosen the caramel, and with a gentle push, invert onto a serving plate.
The Big Reveal
Part 5/5:
As the mold lifts, you'll see a stunning, golden pudding with a glossy finish. Slice into it and witness the creamy texture you’ve achieved. Whether you chose a creamy version or one with bubbles, the end result should be a delightful dessert that melts in your mouth.
A Delicious Experience
Not only is this pudding tasty, but it also serves as a heartwarming gesture for your father on his special day. Everyone in your family is bound to love this treat as it's simple yet rich in flavor.
Remember to share your experience, whether it’s comments on how it turned out or tweaks you made to the recipe.
