the merits of chewing your food/Sara

I was looking for something I read which said that chewing also triggers

pancreatic enzymes but I can't find it again. Loads on the virtues of

chewing beside my view that it keeps the child quiet.

I found that I could substitute buckwheat (not a wheat) for the majority

of flour in the basic rye sourdough and the bread would rise just the

same. Have you made the rye sourdough -- now that really is chewy. I

have also substituted gram. I did it both times after removing the

starter so that the starter stays pure rye. There is also a gram starter

in the book which I made but it didn't seem terribly special for the

effort.
