What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "May one combine fruit, nuts, seeds, and grains in a meal?"
Answer
Yes, fruit, nuts, and grains can be healthily combined to create nutritious meals that can replace meat. However, it is recommended to keep the number of different foods per meal low (ideally only two or three types) to avoid overloading the digestion. Additionally, when combining, care should be taken to use nuts only in moderate amounts, as an excessive amount can hinder the assimilation of nutrients.
Healthy Combinations from Nature
»Grains, fruits, and some roots can be combined with nuts to produce foods that are healthy and nourishing. However, care should be taken not to use an excessive proportion of nuts.«
Simple Combinations for Dietary Reform
»Simple combinations of nuts, grains, and fruits, prepared with taste and skill, will also be recommended to non-believers. However, generally too many nuts are used in the prepared combinations.«
Simplicity in Meals
»Here is a suggestion for all whose work is sedentary or primarily mental...: Take only two or three types of simple food at each meal and do not eat more than is required to satisfy hunger.«
The Danger of Inappropriate Combinations
»When several types of foods are eaten in the same meal, digestive disturbance often results. Some foods are not compatible with others. Improper combinations of food cause a disorder, fermentation begins, the blood becomes contaminated, and the brain is confused.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
