Calcium and Probiotics

Comments

• michigan roman Raw Master

  i buy raw seasame seeds in bulk (cheap) to grind for fruit smoothies or sprinkle on salads as a very good protein and calcium source .
  also almonds are a good source of both calcium and protein .
  and one could make fermented vegis for a probiotic source . i’ll bring back a good link on it in case anyones interested .

  I like using flaxseed It goes on everything I eat.

  I don’t do this now and I am not suggesting you do either ,just wanted to say I really miss drinking kefir!.I gave it up a couple of years ago because of it being dairy. I did for a short time make coconut water kefir and really think I should start again.Bodyecology diet.

  For me I eat a lot of fermented veggies and kombucha for the probiotics but I guess that doesn’t answer your question on protein.

  this may be a dumb question but can you buy probiotics? I have a recipe that calls for it..
• ChelseaMM

  Whole Foods sells probiotics in both pill and liquid form. I’ve never tried them before and don’t know how raw they are.
• kminty3 Raw Newbie

  do you suppose you just open up the pill and use the powder in a recipe?
• Raw_Chocoholic Raw Newbie

  mham, You can always break open a capsule of probiotics onto the veggies you’re fermenting if you’re worried about what kind of bacteria you’re growing.

  kminty3, I think that would work just fine. I made this cheese recipe and it turned out well.
