Sprouted, Raw, and Fermented.

Mmmmm.... This evening I had the treat of tasting some true Russian fare. I indulged on some 'Kislaya Kaputsa' - or Raw Russian Sauerkraut. It was absolutely mouth-watering. Cabbage, Ginger, Apples, Cumin, Cranberries, Carrots, Kosher Salt & Sugar. Delicious and extremely healthy. The fermentation process apparently can take up to 4-5 days (so I don't think this recipe is for the faint of heart's). It is an excellent source of vitamin C, lactobacilli, and other nutrients. Studies suggest that fermented cabbage may be even more healthy than the raw vegetable, with increased levels of anti-cancer agents such as isothiocyanates. It also provides various cancer-fighting compounds including isothiocyanate and sulphoraphane.

I also got to enjoy....

Some Raw-Sprouted Onion Bread! Amazingly delish. It is prepared in a food dehydrator, and it's ingredients are all raw, and sprouted. Flax seeds, sunflower-seeds, julienne onions, salt and more...
