 ALMONDS

10 almonds and 1 cup of water 

Let the almonds soak overnight in water. The next day discard the water. They may or may not peel. carry the

almonds to the blender with new water. Then strain the mixture through a fine cotton cloth or strainer.

(do not use cloths with synthetic fabric)

Another preparation: leave the almonds in boiling water for 5-7 minutes to facilitate peeling by hand, then

press them between your fingers. The shell comes off easily. Follow the same procedure.
Dates or soaked raisins or stevia can be added for flavor. 

Almond remains are added to preparations such as purees, salads, soups​, or as "cheese".

  CHICKPEA PANCAKES 

 1 cup chickpea flour

 1 egg

 100cm of water

 Opt. salt- pepper- turmeric - ground chili

 The next day, mix with the egg (a semi-liquid mass remains).

In an oiled skillet, bring the batter with a ladle to cook the pancakes back and forth.

OTHER OPTION OF PANCAKES:

 1/2 cup (100gr) of flour of your choice  (chickpea flour or brown rice or peas or TEFF or buckwheat).

 Preferably leave the chosen flour soaking in water overnight. The next day, mix with the egg in a bowl and obtain a semi-liquid dough. Make the pancakes in an oiled skillet.

 1 cup buckwheat groats (olienka brand or gaucho seeds)

Take the dough to an oiled source:

 for cookies: stretch the dough to a height of 1 to 1/2 cm thick. Cook for about 5 minutes, remove from the oven, cut to shape into talitas-type cookies and turn to cook on the other side. Cook about  20 minutes at 170 degrees or until crispy.

Germination - Fermentation - Kefir - Broth

SAUERKRAUT

It is a fermented that promotes the growth of healthy bacteria in the intestine,

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 white or red cabbage

  • WATER 

  • SALT  MARINA

 

PREPARATION
Remove the outer leaves  of the cabbage
Cut into  half a head of cabbage thin strips, salt and place in a bowl (calculate 15 g of salt (1 cda dessert type) per kg of cabbage).  With a pestle or mortar hit  or vigorously massage the cabbage for about 5 to 10 minutes to release its juice_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cfsnaturales (this juices are the brine in which it will be fermented)

Poner la preparación anterior en un  jarro de vidrio y presionar con los dedos o cuchara de madera para que no stay

air between the sheets. 
If the cabbage is not covered with the liquid, add brine (3 tablespoons of salt per liter of water) until the cabbage is covered.

Place outer leaves of cabbage separated at first,  on top of cabbage in jar. These leaves are the ones that if come into contact with oxygen, some black spots can appear. If this happens, they are thrown away.
Since the cabbage needs to be kept submerged in the brine, it needs to be pressed down. On top of the cabbage leaves, place a weight so that the vegetables remain submerged (otherwise they can get moldy).

Store  for 3 days to 1 week  out of the refrigerator. If stored in the refrigerator for around 2 months ferment. Every 2 or 3 days open the lid to release gas.

Once ready, remove the leaves from the top and store the sauerkraut in the refrigerator. It can be stored for months.

 

WATER KEFIR

It has been confirmed in the laboratory and proven in the clinic that kefir represses the development of some pathogenic germs. It has been used with excellent results to support the treatment of dysentery, cholera and

salmonellosis.

The beneficial bacteria that live in kefir are very similar to those of the normal intestinal flora and to the bacteria that protect the mucosa of the genitals. That is why it is so effective in counteracting the damaging effects of antibiotics on

the digestive system.

Kefir is kept in the refrigerator for 7 days.

With the  time one learns to know his colony, to graduate the amount of water according to the amount of kefir that

consumes and adjust the speed by modifying the temperature conditions

It is important not to leave it for more than 4 or 5 days without straining, because  it produces a bitter kefir for several days.

If you don't want to drink so much kefir, you can stop producing it for a few days, leaving the colony in plain water and in the refrigerator for a few days. can also be frozen.

How to prepare kefir

a glass or porcelain jar  that is only intended for that use. The colony will live there.

A medium plastic strainer.

A wooden or plastic spoon.

Special cares:

The colony should never be in contact with metal, chemical products (soaps or detergents), or heat. It must always be submerged in water.

Put in a 700cc or 1 liter glass jar:

3 tbsp kefir dessert 

2 or 3 tablespoons (50 gr.) of brown sugar

2 chopped dried figs or plums or 10 raisins (optional)

1/2 lemon or orange

1 liter of water

Cover the glass bottle and leave 24 hours at rest in a warm place (20 º C). Fermentation time: minimum

2 days- maximum 3 (depends on the ambient temperature: the hotter the faster it will be)

Once ready, strain the kefir with the strainer (find a container for the kefir to fall into and then consume it).

The nodules that remain deposited in the strainer are rinsed with water  and put back in the jar to repeat the procedure. Wash the jar well.

 The kefir that is going to be taken, is stored in a glass container preferably covered (without the nodules) in the refrigerator (it lasts about 5 days)

The colony is reproducing. You have to discard the nodules that can be given away or taken to the pots.

GERMINATED

Sprouts are known because they help prevent different diseases.

They favor detoxification and purification processes. 

They strengthen the immune system. 

They stimulate the secretion of the pancreas. 

They facilitate digestion by activating the processes of regeneration and inflammation of the digestive system. 

They improve intestinal function and strengthen the intestinal flora. 

In general, they favor metabolism due to their restorative action.

 

Process:

Place the seeds to germinate in a container and cover them with water. Let them rest overnight. The next day, drain the water from the seeds. Put them in a glass jar with a wide mouth. Cover the mouth of the jar with gauze, securing it with a rubber band elastic. Turn the jar upside down so that the excess water drains and does not rot the seeds. The cheesecloth will allow the seeds to be rinsed without needing to be removed from the container.

Luego guardar el frasco a una temperatura que esté alrededor de los 20º C,  preferentemente en un lugar oscuro . Remember to rinse the seeds twice a day until the_first stalks appear.

Depending on the type of seed, the sprouts will appear between the second and fourth days, once the sprouts appear, put them in indirect sunlight (indoors) so that the leaves turn green, and they are ready to consume, but first you have to rinse them well with water with the help of a strainer.

These sprouts can be kept for a week in the refrigerator in an airtight glass jar. You can make sprouts from wheat, rye, barley, oats, alfalfa, green soybeans, watercress, radishes, lentils, sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, flax, etc. The seeds used should not be frozen or roasted.
