Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Just want to remind folks that although I consider Nourishing Traditions and the Weston A. Price web site to have lots of useful information, much of what is recommended is not SCD legal. (Grains, so matter how they are prepared are never SCD legal.) Some people have reported finding nuts to be more digestible when prepared in the WAP/NT manner, by soaking them in warm salt water (don't have my NT book handy for the proportions of salt and water) and then drying them. The key here is DRYING them. Elaine was deeply concerned that soaking nuts in warm water could lead to fostering molds, mildews, and possibly yeasts, and did not like this method of preparation. Her concern stemmed, not unreasonably, from the fact that not everyone has a dehydrator, and not everyone would exercise the care necessary for safety. The least bit of dampness in stored nuts could be very dangerous. So please, if you decide to try this method of preparation, do so understanding Elaine's very real issues with it, and the fact that it is not part of the SCD protocol. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
