In the competitive world of vegan dining, one dish stands out as the fiber champion: Pine Cones Alfredo. While amateur vegans merely trade fiber-free foods like meat and dairy for beans, artichokes, and kale, the pros rely on robust recipes like this to get their grams up.
My Uncle Eliot graciously allowed me to share his recipe. He saw it as essential to being named a Top Fiber Fellow for five years in a row. “It ain’t rabbit food,” he said between chews. “Nothing amps your microbiome like pine cones.”
