Fermentation

[Guest guest]

All,

 

It is easy to say that fermented food is not raw and therefore has no

place either in this forum or as a concept worth holding for a raw

foodist. Such simplistic thinking would ignore that biochemistry is

part of healthy digestion and some of that chemistry is such that it is

indistinguishable from fermentation.

 

Of course there can be both " good " and " bad " fermentation; the former

leading to untold benefits and the latter producing putrification, gut

mould and enough to say that we really do not need this stuff in the

forum.

 

The question that arises is: " Should we reject all forms of fermentation

in all circumstances? " or " Is there a place for fermented food in a raw

diet? "

Hi Peter,

 

Fermented foods are living foods! We eat both raw and living foods.

There is definitly a place for fermented foods in our diet. I love

eating fermented sauerkraut, miso, and seed cheese. This is another

reason I love the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation, they teach

people about fermented foods. They are a traditional food in many

cultures.

Here is an amazing article on Miso:

EM and probiotics are a good additions to fermented foods and

drinks. Gabriel Cousens writes that eating EM will help a person

become a " Superperson " and will help to restore and maintain health.
