This recipe targets SIRT6 activation and mitochondrial protection through a unique combination of ingredients not commonly found in standard diets. The star ingredient is Black "Forbidden" Rice, which contains the highest levels of C3G (Cyanidin-3-glucoside), an anthocyanin shown to regulate aging pathways. We pair this with King Trumpet Mushrooms, the most potent dietary source of Ergothioneine, a "longevity vitamin" that protects DNA from oxidative damage. Black Garlic adds S-allyl-cysteine for cardiovascular resilience, while organic edamame provides spermidine to induce autophagy. This is a creamy, savory, umami-rich dish that supports longevity at the cellular level.
