i had some yogurt made with raw milk last week at a dinner i attended. it was the VERY best. i was told that it was put thru cheesecloth (sort of like kefir...
... My no-fail recipe is from:(look for the raw milk recipe towards the bottom of the page) http://www.fiascofarm.com/dairy/yogurt.htm I bought the starter...
Hi Susan, I do green tomato almost yearly, but I use smaller tomatoes than what you used. I use apple juice and now water kefir grains so that an initially a...
Heather, my understanding with niacin-flush is that is has to 1] be the acid form of niacin [nicotinic acid] 2] a large enough dose [about 15-25mg or so] has...
Heather, I have an oldish article explaining how kefir reduced both nitrites and nitrates in fermenting veggies, and meat too if I recall. Thought you might...
Heather, I'm catching up with the list, hence my many replies to you today. Those bits found settled in aged wine is mostly tartaric acid, where we get "cream...
Yeah, I just wasn't sure what you meant by a "vinegary" taste to kraut. Vs. any other kind of sour in kraut (if it's not sour, it's not sour kraut!). ...
Yeah, alcohol will certainly do that too ... some beers though have a pretty high B content. I was sort of thinking of some homebrew kefir-beers I made, which...
I've just recently started making and drinking kombucha. On days when I've drunk a lot of it (1-2 large glasses), about 12 hours later I've felt shaky and...
Hi Thea, It is recommended that when you begin to drink Kombucha, you should start off slowly with small amounts - maybe 4 oz daily - at least for a week until...
Hi Everyone, I just put together an attempt to recreate ZING Salad with red cabbage, beets, and carrots. They were shredded in my Vita-Mix to about coleslaw...
I never did figure out Sally's injunction to screw the lids on TIGHT. Korean kimchi jars don't have a tight lid: neither do the American kraut barrels. Mason...
Thank you Heather! I was hoping you'd be online! I do have the plastic lids that fit the quart jars, so I will change lids on those, and I will loosen the...
I've made some salt pork -- basically rubbing salt and aromatics into belly pork and letting the salt go in and the juices come out. I've now got some...
when using the mason jars, must they be sterilized? i do not have a pot large enough to do this. thanks, diana ... cabbage, ... question is, ... drink...
... a ... Hi Diana, I sterilized my jars and lids in boiling water for 5 minutes, but I don't know if it is absolutely necessary. I'll let someone else answer...
Hello Thea, From what I read, Kombucha is not recommended while pregnant or nursing, nor is it recommended for babies and infant when developping their immune...
Yeah, I've done some stuff with about that combination. But pretty much anything that includes cabbage has worked well for me. Beets, and red cabbage, make it...
Use it for seasoning soup etc? That bit about salt poisoning the ground though is mainly hyperbole. I took about 10lbs of salt that I had used for some...
Keep it off your lawn though. One time I spilled a bunch of salt on a rug and shook it out back, caused a dead spot on the grass a few feet across. Grew back...
thanks Heather. I did put a spoonful in gravy (I tasted it first and it wasn't as salty as I'd feared). Different plants grow on salt marshes because they don...
I think plants evolve that can deal with it and they grow on salt marshes or where salt is blown inland by the sea. Your average lawn is poisoned by it. That's...
Hi Thea, You also need to increase your intake of water. Plain water, tea, fruit juices, coffee or sodas don't count! You need to drink at least 4 times water...
It's a punctuation problem. The sentence should probably be "increase your intake of water. Plain water. Tea, fruit juices, coffee or sodas don't count"....
would fizzy kefir d avua be about equal to kombucha? The other day i had my first taste of kefir d ava and it made me feel buzzed. I told my hubby about it.....
Thanks for that link! None of the sources I would normally check for nursing advice have anything about kombucha. I think I'll keep drinking it, but in small...
It probably depends on your climate too. Here it rains constantly, so ANYTHING gets washed away. I have goats that pee on the lawn all the time too ... no...
