Guest guest Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hey Sue, yes it's mostly NT, but with the focus on a bit more raw foods. Besides pickles and sauerkraut I ferment mostly raw dairy and create variations thereof and make sure my legumes, grains and seeds are soaked. Although with Monsanto now pushing for GMO Alfalfa to be spread, the future of organic is in big danger, makes me very, very angry and sad...;o( http://action.foodandwaterwatch.org/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=5450 What are people complaining about when not able to tolerate fermented foods? I find if done correctly you don't taste that much difference. But it takes a while to accustom to that new cooking and life style. It's mostly about knowing which ingredients to add last so that you don't destroy their enzyme levels. E.g. a while ago my sister was visiting and cooked something simple planning to sweeten it with honey (thinking it's healthier than using sugar). I only have the highest quality raw, unheated honey in the house and my alarm clocks rang when I saw her mixing the honey in the boiling mass. After explaining to her that she is killing all the enzymes and turning that health giving honey into a sugary mess she understood. You add the honey at the very end when the food has cooled down to body temperature. Most people simply don't think, just follow a concept automatically because they have done it forever and/or learnt/observed certain steps from their parents. I know what I am talking about, I was there as well before I started questioning everything ;o) a > > martina, > > sounds like the NT or weston a price diet, that is basically how we eat > for the most part, although i know a lot of people on this list can't > tolerate fermented foods... > > sue v > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
