Cultures for Health Giveaway! Real Food Wednesday

CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.  WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED AUGUST 21ST!

NOW YOU CAN USE THE SAME LINK BELOW (under “how to enter”) TO GET 10% OFF AT CULTURES FOR HEALTH!

Have you been following the Nourishing Traditions way of life?  If so, you’ve probably been experimenting with various fermented/probiotic foods.  As you may know, fermented foods are Superfoods, which are defined by Wikipedia as “a food considered especially nutritious or otherwise beneficial to health and well-being”.  Read these findings from the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) about the benefits of dietary probiotics.  The following is their conclusion:

“Daily dietary probiotic supplementation for 6 months was a safe effective way to reduce fever, rhinorrhea, and cough incidence and duration and antibiotic prescription incidence, as well as the number of missed school days attributable to illness, for children 3 to 5 years of age.”

A SUPERFOODS GIVEAWAY!

Cultures for Health is giving away your choice of three starter cultures.  You may pick any variety—three different ones or three types of yogurt, sourdough starter, etc.

When you enter at the link below, you can read all about the different kinds of yogurt starters and sourdough starters to help you decide.

Here are your options (my comments in italics):

• Yogurt Starter – 5 kinds to choose from!  I’m going to order one of these next – a kind that doesn’t need a yogurt maker.  Maybe then my yogurt won’t be so clumpy (like it is with the starter I bought from the store) and my kids will eat this homemade version!  Until now I’ve only used this in recipes.
• Buttermilk Starter – haven’t tried this yet…
• Water Kefir Grains – I’m having great results using these to make Kefir Soda and will post more soon.  I love having a “pop” that I don’t mind letting the kids drink, since it’s fermented and full of probiotics, and they love it, too, obviously!
• Kombucha (if you live within the US) – I’m having such luck with the Kefir Soda that I haven’t made Kombucha in a while.
• Sourdough Starter – 17 kinds to choose from!  Since my oven fiasco a while back, I haven’t had the ambition to try this again…soon.  Julie even sent me a free replacement, even though I really should’ve had to pay the stupid tax.
