May 3: Getting the Most from Whole Grains

Are you getting the best nutrition from the grains you eat?

All grains, nuts, seeds and legumes contain natural substances that block mineral absorption.  If you are not soaking, sprouting, sour leavening or fermenting grains and seeds you are not getting the most out of your grains, and may actually be causing harm.

Traditional people took great care in the preparation of grains, nuts, seeds and legumes. Come learn preparation techniques that enhance digestion and increase nutrients!

Join Us for “WAPF-Wednesday” Potluck & Grains Demo!

Hi all,

This is a reminder that our December potluck is this Wednesday!  The snow was fun, but I am glad we can get back to driving easily and carry on with our events as planned, and here is our next event:

Wednesday, December 18, 2013
6:00 to 8:00 PM

Location:

At the home of Jan
1389 Washington St, Eugene
yellow house, east side of Washington
(access 13th, 15th, 18th)

Phone:  Jan’s number is 541-343-4404

Topic & Demo: Preparation of Grains, Nuts, Seeds and Legumes

One of the key principles of the Weston A. Price Foundation principles is the proper preparation of grains, nuts, seeds and legumes.  Traditional people took great care with the preparation of grains and seeds.  The seeds of plants naturally contain “anti-nutrients”.  By neutralizing these before consuming them we can improve their digestion and absorption.

Gluten containing grains (such as wheat and rye), gluten-free grains (such as rice, and corn), as well as nuts, and seeds that are used in place of grains (such as quinoa, amaranth, and teff) all need careful preparation in order to maximize nutrition.

Bring a vegetarian friend!

Although the potluck will hopefully have several non-vegetarian dishes (made with nutrient-dense meats, bone broth and animal fats), this would be a great topic to introduce to your vegetarian friends.  People who avoid the use of animal foods in particular need to make sure they are maximizing their nutrition from the grains, nuts, seeds and legumes they eat, as they tend to rely more heavily on these foods.

Bring a Dish:

Please bring a Nourishing Traditions style dish and join us for some great food and great conversation! Families and guests are welcome. Please bring enough food to feed the size of your party.
