Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 , You put the honey in because the starter bacteria need to feed on some form of sugar to feed on (so they can make MORE of themselves... which is what you want ). If you're using pasteurized honey, there shouldn't be any bacteria in the honey. Patti Cashew yogurt I am trying cashew yogurt as the goat yogurt really upset my system. This way, I'll be able to know whether it's the dairy, or just die off. My question is, honey has bacteria in it, which is why (if I understand) you put it in the cashew yogurt.....so that the starter has some sort of bacteria to " digest " . Does that mean that the bacteria in the honey will be gone, or will there just be more of it. I guess i'm not sure if the starter digests it, or if it just feeds off of it and multiplies it.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Oooohhh..ok. Thanks for the clarification. It's extremely watery, but does smell fermented.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 I have to admit I've never made any of the nut yogurts. Maybe someone else can tell you. Not sure dripping will work with nut yogurt. By the way.... cashews are the starchiest of all the nuts, so Elaine cautioned us not to use them much in the beginning, and in small amounts for anyone. But, in your case, I think if we could find ONE food you can tolerate, that has even a little teeny BIT of carbohydrate, I will be doing the Snoopy dance out here!

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Patti, I dripped it and ate about 1/8 of a teaspoon. I can tell you already that I tolerate it MUCH better than the goat. I would have been sicker than a dog by now if I ate that much of the goat.....I was just really sensitive to it. I am having some die off, but all in all, it's way better. Cashews and pecans are the only thing I come close to tolerating as far as nuts go. And I know that cashews are the starchiest..which is why I chose them. :-) So I wouldn't do a Snoopy dance just yet.....but we may be on to something here. My husband just left to get his haircut, and before he left, he told me I was losing weight. I knew this, and trust me, I have NO weight to lose. I was already a few pounds underweight before I started. My size 4 clothes are about to fall off of me! Anyway, he asked me to go off the diet if this cashew yogurt didn't help. It's sort of our last ditch effort.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 ! Can I just do a little " yippee " ?!? This is good! What about the honey by itself? Were you ever able to tolerate just the pasteurized honey? Yeah, I was also fine with you eating the cashew... I basically put that notation in my reply because we have so many other people reading these posts, too. I just always want to clarify that for others. I predict you will be able to put some weight back on soon. Tell hubby that the only hope for you to truly be able to absorb and utilize nutrients is to heal that gut of yours. You'll get there! I hope you'll be able to tolerate more than 1/8 tsp soon! Patti Re: Cashew yogurt Patti, I dripped it and ate about 1/8 of a teaspoon.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Okay. One little yippee.....but that's all! :-) No, I can't do the honey by itself (although I'm still not positive I got a pasteurized honey - I'm ordering some over the internet that Gay orders that we KNOW is pasteurized and free of pollen). There's honey in the cashew yogurt, but you had said the sugars would be eaten up by the bacteria. So...that doesn't really help us, but it tells me that it's the sugars in the honey that bothers me. I am still drinking grape juice, even though there's irritation with it. So it's not like I'm getting 0 carbs. Close, but not quite. It's pretty watered down. Hubby watched me lose almost 50 pounds in four months at the beginning of all of this, so it scares him to see me losing anymore. Plus, it really isn't good for me to lose any. I think he'll be fine as long as I don't lose MORE. I'm just flat not telling my doctor that I lost weight. He'd not be a happy camper. Who knows what he'd tell me to do.... I've had more than 1/8 of a teaspoon today. I just keep taking little licks of it. If I take a full 1/8 of a tsp., I have to go sleep it off. I get very tired and spacey. Some would say that was the normal .....;-) ~ > >Reply-To: pecanbread >To: <pecanbread > >Subject: Re: Cashew yogurt >Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2006 10:43:13 -0700 > >! Can I just do a little " yippee " ?!?

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Trish, I looked at the recipe... I think it really should say " ferment " .... instead of the word " cook " . You'll just put it in the yogurt maker at that point... just like you would for milk yogurt.... plug the unit in and let it ferment for 8-10 hrs. hope that helps... Patti cashew yogurt I got directions to make it but I am not sure how to cook it... Does anyone know at what temperature Im supposed to cook it? It should be the same as making goat yogurt right? Thanks, Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Thank you Patti. I have no yogurt maker but I can still just put it in the oven with a lightbulb right? That's the only option I have. Trish > > Trish, > > I looked at the recipe... > > I think it really should say " ferment " .... instead of the word " cook " .

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 The lightbulb in the oven method is fine. I've never done it but if you have... and it stays in the correct temp range, then that's just perfect. Patti Re: cashew yogurt Thank you Patti.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hi Trish, The temperature range for fermentation/incubation is the same when making yogurt of any kind - whether it is cow, goat, reindeer or nut milk yogurt. The correct temperature range is 100°-110°F (38°-43°C). It is also important to cool the heated milk to room temperature before adding the yogurt starter.
