Re: What are the rules for spices?

Single spices are fine. Just not the blends (such as curry powder, cajun

seasoning, Mrs. Dash, etc.). Read your labels, just to be sure it says just

" cinnamon " , " ginger " , " cloves " , " nutmeg " ...... or " ground cumin " , etc.

And any commercial garlic powder or onion powder is NOT legal.

Any honey that is clear, filtered and labeled 100% pure honey is fine. Whatever

brand name is available in your area. Read the label thoroughly to make sure

it's not got anything added. Either raw honey or pasteurized honey is fine... as

long as it's been filtered.

I saw something on the news the other night that said the honeybee population is

WAY, WAY down this year and the experts don't yet know why. This is expected to

make prices go up on this year's crops of many tree fruits, almonds and other

things that are pollinated by honeybees..... and I imagine the price of honey

is bound to go up, too.

What are the rules for spices?

I'm a big cook and must have 30 spices in my cupboard. Any hints on

what might be legal aside from calling every manufacturer? Also-I will

buy farm fresh honey this spring, but in the meantime, any SCD legal

brands of honey?

Thanks so much

what about fresh/raw parsley? is it really so different from the

dried parsley in terms of digestibility? i would love to add raw

parsley to our diet, as a spice. but we're only on stage 2, doing all

cooked produce at this point.

I was wondering, is garlic SALT illegal too, or is it okay because it is

mixed with salt?

Could not find this info. in the book.

Thank you

Illegal.... sorry. They have to add some sort of anti-caking agent to keep it

free-flowing. Usually some sort of non-disclosed starch.

I've seen garlic salt in several so called SCD recipes. I was pretty

sure it wasn't legal. Glad my instincts were right. If I wanted to

make my own is it a 50/50 mixture? Anyone know?

To make your own garlic salt it is 1 part homemade garlic powder to 3

parts salt. This mixture may cake up over time. In which case you may

need to break it up occasionally to keep it free flowing.
