• why can I not find spelt?
• I bought some hamburger buns because I ddin't have time to make them and they were spelt! Yum! BUt I can't find the flour :scratch:And they say don't kneed it as long as regular dough. So can you make spelt sourdough from a wheat starter? I just like the mildness of it. I sup...
• Why did my fermented drink get moldy?
• I made NT ginger ale a month or so ago. I followed the recipe, except I used two quart-sized jars instead of a one two-quart sized jar. I drank one and opened the other last night and it was moldy. Does that mean there's a problem with the whey? I've also had a batch of ketchup get mol...
• Why did you become a vegetarian/vegan?
• Im very curious....
• why do my pickles keep getting moldy?
• I've made quarts and quarts of pickles this summer, but about 1/3 to 1/2 of the jars end up getting moldy. The last batch I made was in 5 different jars. I put them in the fridge right before we went out of town for 2 weeks--none of the jars had mold on the top when we left, but 3 of them...
• why do people get defensive about eating meat?
• I have noticed that people get defensive about eating meat. No one gets defensive about eating veggies. Why is this?And has anyone else ever noticed the tension between shoppers at the meat section? People are more brusque, less patient, less likely to make eye contact in the meat section of...
• why do raw eaters loose so much weight ?
• all's in the title I guess... I don't know much about raw food, but I can see that people who switch from a traditional way of eating to raw eating, loose weight gradually but in a significant manner. Those I know who are definitely long-term raw eaters are all...skinny.Why is that ??t...
• why do young vegan think breastfeeding isnt vegan?!?
• it seems to be a common misconception amoung younger vegans. maybe they just dont want to BF? they say b/c itcomes from an animal it isnt vegan. WTH?!?! help me understand these youngin's!...
• Why does apple juice water kefir make me light-headed?
• This only happens when I drink the apple water kefir on an empty stomach. Is it the sugar content? Is it alcoholic? I don't think I have this problem with regular apple juice, but I'm not sure because I don't often drink plain apple juice. Also I add 4 containers water instead of...
• Why does my kefir suddenly smell like rotten Band-Aids?
• That's honestly the best description I can come up with. It has that plastic/glue scent of Band-Aids, only much, much worse. The grains themselves smell like that. It's really not pleasant. Worse, it all tastes that way, too. I'm wondering if the grains got contaminated with...
• Why does my soup give my hubby the runs?
• It doesn't matter if I make chicken or beef, he can't eat it without trouble. I make it of course "by the book" (NT). I've read somewhere that some people's bodies have trouble eating the rich traditional type foods when their bodies aren't used to it, or maybe it was...
• Why does NT recommend...
• ...covering veggies with a tight-fitting lid while they're fermenting? I thought they needed to be loosely covered while fermenting. :confused:...
• Why does quality meat have to cost so MUCH?
• My family has made the switch to traditional foods, with the exception of meat. We just have not been able to afford quality meats. Just now I was looking on the site where we plan to buy meat when we can, and just to buy one whole chicken is $14.36!!!!! I bought a grocery store chicken yesterda...
• Why exactly do people think all dairy products are so unhealthy?
• Seriously. I know when I was nearly veggie, I would feel so guilty for eating cheese, like I was this dairy industry dupe and getting too much fat, and it was probably causing zits and havoc on my system (though I wasn't allergic or sensitive) and so on. So many healthy people I know don�...
• Why ferment food? What IS it anyways?
• What on earth is fermented food, and how is it different than pickling or other means of preservation (aside from chemicals). I'm very curious... I can't find a thread, but if someone would either let me know, or link me to another thread or info source, I'd greatly appreciate it....
• why gluten/sugar free preconception diet?
• I have read that some of you are going sugar/gluten free pre conception diet/pregnancy diet. Why is that? Are you eating fruit?...
• Why Im vegetarian now....
• I'm 2 years out from gastric bypass, lost 115 lbs (now weight about 168) and my stomache holds about 4-6 oz depending on the consistency of the food. I've had multiple misscarriages and have anticardiolipin antibodies (clotting disorder that can cause miscarriage). Well the OB did mo...
• Why is Canola Oil bad?
• I was just reading some other posts, and lots of people seemed to think Canola wasn't so good. I read that it's genetically modified, which I guess I already knew, but what about organic canola oil? I thought that if something was classified as organic, it wasn't allowed to be GM...
• Why is it necessary to skim & strain stock?
• I am attempting to inexpertly make stock for the very first time. I'm reading the NT Beef Stock recipe on page 122 (although I'm making lamb stock), and I'm wondering if certain steps in the stock-making process are truly necessary?Why do I have to skim the scum off of my stock af...
• Why is my kefir doing this?!?!?!
• The last two batches of kefir have been doing strange things. I use raw goat milk. I notice that the kefir (while still with the grains) is separating into a yellowish liquid then the white part. This has not happened before. What's up?...
• why is my kombucha brewing so slowly?
• We moved to a new location about 6 weeks ago, and I keep this house a little colder than the other one (70 daytime, 66 night vs. 71 daytime and 69 night). This is the third, maybe the fourth batch of kombucha I've tried to brew at this house. The first one (or two) turned out fine with a...
• Why is my liver turning green within a hour of cooking it?
• O.k. I just cooked my organic pastured buffalo liver in Green Patures coconut oil with onion. It was frozen and I thawed it in the fridge for two days. It tastes fine, but as I went to put the last piece in my mouth I noticed that the sides had turned green. The inside was a nice pink/brown comb...
• Why is my mead syrupy?
• I made mead last week. This is how I made it: I dissolved about 1/4 cup of honey in 3-1/2 cups of water. I let it get to room temperature and added it to kefir grains. I let that sit for 7 days.Now, when I went to bottle it, it was rather syrupy.What gives?...
• why is my water kefir syrupy?
• I made a batch of water kefir with 5 Tbsp. white sugar, 3 c. spring water, some chopped up gingerroot, and my grains. I checked it today and it was sort of slightly thick and syrupy. Could I have left it out too long? I can't remember whether it had been 48 hrs or 72 hrs since I started...
• Why No Milk with Meat?
• I lurve to drink a big fat pint of ice cold raw milk with my meals, but I saw a post that said you shouldn't drink milk with beef. Is it because calcium interferes with iron absorption? I'm confused, help a mama out. :dizzy:...

• Why simmer beef stock so long?
