Goitrogens? I would suggest to make Kombu-Shio ,kelp powder and baked salt. On an iron pan,sea salt baked. and mix both together. It will bring your body...
Or make sure you get plenty of iodine. Goitrogens aren't really an issue for the Japanese or Koreans, both of which eat lots of cabbage and other "goitrogenic"...
In my experience, "raw" doesn't help assimilation much. In experiments, "raw" is, in some foods, harder to digest, not easier. We cook some foods, and some...
I'm interested in supreme digestion and nutrient assimilation for me and my family. Who isn't right? (at least on this board :-)) Would you supplement your...

I have been making kefir for years. Recently I ordered buttermilk culture, and after making it a few times, it tastes like kefir. I seem to have read, perhaps...
I think "sour" is a good key. Syrupiness can be produced by a number of bacteria, including Leuconostoc, which aren't bad for you at all. Glad it turned out...
Hello from Milwaukee, Wisconsin! I'm a duplex dweller and started urban gardening this past season. I just got my first spiima and kefir and excited to...
Dear Heather, I tried the Kraut last night and it tastes very good and sour. I didn't notice the syrupiness much once it hit the plate. No ill effects noted. ...
You can also just toast some Nori sheets, crumple them up into flakes. Then add some freshly toasted sesame seeds (sesame seeds are cheap in bulk at Asian...
I'm afraid not, or at least I've never tried. Once a ferment goes the wrong direction, it's hard to do much with it. Whichever bacteria take over lay out mines...
You can get furikake without fish in it. There are versions with just nori, sesame seed, salt, sugar, etc. Check the labels. Aloha, Alina You can't gain...
I heard about coconut milk yogurt and haven't tried it, but it sounds intriguing. Anyone made this before? Can you do it just like soy/dairy yogurt? Aloha, ...

I've never had anything not ferment and I've fermented every veg I can find. I'm sure Heather is the same. Sourdough bread arrives by leaving mixtures of water...
Sandor Katz has a recipe in Wild Fermentation. You could look on his website. Just google his name and WF and the site should come up. WestonPrice also has an...
Thought you 'all might too. It was a Google ad I got when I was replying to one of this group's emails: http://www.kimchicreator.com/ Now there is an idea! -- ...
Sometimes ferments get polysaccharide-producing bacteria in them, and they get thick, slimy, weird. Well, in the case of viili or natto, that is the desired...
