Beets from Sauvie Island's Pumpkin Patch are fermented with whey to make this delicious, savory, blood cleansing, and energizing digestive beverage . Traditionally, kvass was a russian peasant drink full of plenty of lactobacilli cultures and made from rye berries --- great to fortify the blood and your body. I add a pinch of salt before drinking, you may want to add more to taste. Try adding your own flavor with a sprig of rosemary or some juniper berries! **packaged and sold in 16oz bottles **p.s. (cough, cough) i've heard this pairs nicely with a dry gin!!

Beef Bone Broth

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 07:56:10 +0000

Bones from Highland oak ranch are simmered for over 12 hours with carrots and onions and vinegar to flavor the mineral richness that slowly steeps into this rich gelatinous bone broth. It works great as a base for soups, sauces, grains, beans or add some kraut and a bit of miso for a delicious and easy lunch. A warm cup in the morning is a simple and nourishing tonic to begin the day. This is the flavor of love!

Bone broth is the most accessible "cure-all in traditional households and the magic ingredient in classic gourmet cuisine, stock or broth made from bones of chicken, fish and beef builds strong bones, assuages sore throats, nurtures the sick, puts vigor in the step and sparkle in love life--so say grandmothers, midwives and healers. For chefs, stock is the magic elixir for making soul-warming soups and matchless sauces.

Stock contains minerals in a form the body can absorb easily-not just calcium but also magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulphur and trace minerals. It contains the broken down material from cartilage and tendons--stuff like chondroitin sulphates and glucosamine, now sold as expensive supplements for arthritis and joint pain."

Please Note: This broth is very dense and does not need to be eaten at its full concentration. Feel free to stretch this delicious, mineral rice supplement with water, vegetable stock or whatever you choose.
