Keto Almond Flour Waffles

Strawberries

• Not in the recipe, but grow for a fresh topping to add natural sweetness and a burst of fruit flavor to the waffles.
• Grow in full sun with well-draining, slightly acidic soil; plant bare-root plants in early spring.
• Keep soil consistently moist and mulch to suppress weeds and retain moisture.

Mint

• Not in the recipe, but grow for a refreshing garnish that adds a cool, aromatic contrast to the rich waffles.
• Plant in a pot or with a root barrier to prevent it from spreading aggressively, in partial to full sun.
• Water regularly to keep the soil moist, and pinch back flowers to encourage leafy growth.

• Slugs (strawberries): Set beer traps around plants or use copper tape as a barrier.

• Spider Mites (mint): Spray with a strong stream of water or use neem oil.

• Birds (strawberries): Cover plants with netting as berries begin to ripen.

Strawberries

• Pick berries when they are fully red, firm, and easily detach from the stem; harvest frequently to encourage more production.
• Harvest in the morning after the dew has dried for the best flavor and shelf life.

Mint

• Snip sprigs or individual leaves as needed, cutting just above a leaf node to encourage bushier growth.
• Harvest regularly to prevent flowering and maintain vigorous leaf production.
