April Fools It’s a Tamarind
Tamarind looks like something you would pick up with gloves and dispose of quickly, but it’s a delightful fruit with a tangy sweet/sour taste. Put one in your kid’s lunch bag and let him/her surprise their friends! Don’t put too many in the lunch, because it has laxitive qualities. Preliminary studies show that tamarind can enhance excretion of fluoride. Yeah!!! It has much more calcium than most fruits and it may also lower blood sugar. http://www.healthline.com/natstandardcontent/tamarind#1 … Read entire article »

How to Prepare Raw Seeds and Nuts
You should always soak your seeds and nuts overnight in salt water to make them more digestable and nutritious. It will also bring out their delicious flavor. Dehydrating them below 115 degrees F (see exception in video) will give them a better shelf life, yet they will maintain their raw state and can be sprouted. You can prove this to yourself by sprouting some raw sunflower seeds after they have been soaked in salt water and dehydrated below 115 degrees F. The seeds will … Read entire article »

December 27, 2012 at 10:58 am See my no-fail mayonnaise recipe, blog and video. Once you see how easy it is to make your own mayo, you will never buy commercial again. Aside from the junk soy oil in the commercial brands, your own mayo will be silky and taste wonderful. You can choose which nice oils to use. The secret is to use a farm-fresh egg and a stick blender. http://www.dianalehua.com/homemade-raw-mayonnaise-1281/

Hi Diana, AJ suggested your FB page. Do you make your own fermented foods? If so, how can I get some? Do you do kimchi?

October 21, 2012 at 6:50 pm If your pine nuts (and other foods too) don't say where they are from, they are probably from China. The USDA Organic sticker does not mean the food is from the US. I'm fine with buying inexpensive items from China, but I draw the line at food. I want to know and support my local farmers. Food is far too important.
