{"product_id":"med-154","title":"Stuffed Grape Leaves (Dolmades","description":"\u003ch2\u003e🧠 Brain Health Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStuffed Grape Leaves — known as Dolmades in Greek — are one of the Mediterranean's most ancient and brain-nourishing dishes. Grape leaves themselves are extraordinarily rich in resveratrol, the polyphenol most studied for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, reduce amyloid plaque, and protect neurons from oxidative damage. Rice provides slow-release carbohydrates for sustained brain energy. Fresh mint contains apigenin and luteolin, flavonoids that reduce neuroinflammation and support neurogenesis. Lemon provides vitamin C for neuroprotection. Olive oil delivers oleocanthal, a natural anti-inflammatory with ibuprofen-like effects on the brain. Every tender, lemony roll is a gift of ancient wisdom to the aging mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e🗄️ Cabinet Ingredients Needed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRice — CAB-93 (ing-cab-930)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra Virgin Olive Oil — CAB-54 (ing-cab-540)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalt — CAB-95 (ing-cab-950)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Pepper — CAB-21 (ing-cab-210)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGarlic Clove Minced — CAB-59 (ing-cab-590)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllspice — CAB-4 (ing-cab-040)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e🛒 Fresh Ingredients Needed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Leaves (ing-fr-2390)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItalian Parsley Fresh Minced (ing-fr-540)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e🍋 Not Applicable (NA)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLemon Fresh (ing-na-160)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater (ing-na-200)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMint Fresh (ing-na-080)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e👨🍳 Cooking Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse grape leaves and blanch in boiling water 2 minutes.
