Cradle Cakes — Healing Spiced Crab Cakes
Crab from the ocean. Roots from the earth. Spice from the story. A savory circle of healing and power.
🪔 What Are “Cradle Cakes”?
These are not your ordinary crab cakes—they are ritual discs of protein, spice, and nervous system support. Infused with **adaptogenic herbs**, **anti-inflammatory spices**, and **gut-friendly flours**, these cakes are sacred and savory. Each bite offers restoration and elemental grounding—**Sea** (crab), **Fire** (turmeric + pepper), **Earth** (ashwagandha, ginger), and **Air** (aroma, breath, light crust).
- Crab: Ocean wisdom, protein of depth
- Ashwagandha: Adrenal calm and root strength
- Turmeric + Black Pepper: Fire clarity and inflammation release
- Ginger + Garlic: Digestive and protective shield
- Coconut Flour + Egg: Low GI binder, warmth, and texture
