How to Grow Wheat Grass in Pots?

Barry’s introduction for Wheat Grass methods and uses:
Written by Barry Gourmet & Raw © Copyright September 13th 2011

This article is one of the most important health and wellness tips that I am putting on the table for you to date. Many people do not know what wheat grass is , or how to make it, or tasted it , or what it does for your body. Many people I can say are really missing out on a Liquid Mineral and Vitamin supplement that goes directly into your blood stream to support your internal environment in such a positive and profound away. Many people including myself, having embraced this Superfood into our lives have obtained a long grocery list of positive health benefits from its use.

I can say that in the first half of my life ,I never even heard of this deep green liquid beverage called Wheat Grass ,until I tried it one day at my local health food store back in the middle 80s.
No one will ever forget that first gulp that really can stay with you for the rest of your life, and it can send you either way in the taste department . You either LOVE it or you HATE it, because the wheat grass is loaded with Alkaloids,and is a powerful Bitter Sweet tasting, Green Tonic that awakens all your senses in one shot.

Wheat grass is a gift from nature , and can be used in so many different ways to make it more palatable to ones sensitive taste buds as I will demonstrate in this writing.

My first fateful introduction to Wheat Grass happened very innocently as I stood their one early Sunday morning in Sherman Oaks California , waiting for the stop light to turn green .
It was one of those rare days that I actually walked , with my car abandoned at a nearby hospital parking lot,to just escape for a moment from my working life.

As I crossed the street a big sign in front of a store window caught my attention like a magnet drawing me to it with more curiosity.

The words of the sign read, ORGANIC FOOD SOLD HERE , and with no words about wheat grass but I was still compelled to check out this store anyway. Little did I know that my whole life was about to change , and it was like some subconscious force in my mind encouraged me to forge ahead, to find the TRUTH,to discover one of Natures many powerful natural foods, that would help eliminated all the symptoms that I carried around with me inside my body.

What really struck me about this store was first the vibrancy and freshness of the huge selection of produce, and then the smaller section of what I thought looked like the typical processed food illes that I was used to seeing in the other grocery stores that I shopped at.
And then with more careful inspection I soon realized that I was looking at bottled and packaged foods of Vitamin and Mineral Supplements, Super Foods, Herbs ,Tingsters, Herbal Teas,natural personal body care products and food based nutritional extracts to just name a few. After the stores knowledgable clerk kindly explained to me what each product item was, and what it could do for me , I have to admit that at the time ,I was very overwhelmed with information overload, and headed over to the checkout counter with these new strange novelty health items in my arms.

Waiting patiently with other customers inline in front of me, I noticed several racks of free health pamphlets on display and I was again distracted with my curiosity taking in all this material with new strange names that where not part of my vocabulary. Not waisting any time

I quickly gathered up every health pamphlet on display that I could fit into a nearby shopping cart with my purchased items as the rest of the customers where already long gone by then. As I filled my cart up, I noticed out of the corner of my eye,an impressive library of health books in the far corner of the store, but the boat load of freebies will have to do for now, was all I could think.

I can still remember to this day the way my Cashier Lady friend smiled and looked at me knowingly like I was her first Newbie Customer of the day but friendly just the same.
Little did I know at the time that I possessed a Wealth of Health information even though it was condensed down ,and to the point.I had so much of it, that I could have easily wallpapered my small apartment with much to spare.

It was noon now and before I got to my car,I stopped off at my first health food eatery and ordered my first Avocado Whole grain sandwich with herb tea. I really must have lived a sheltered life I thought to myself .Needless to say my first taste of health food was delicious and since then, Avocado the good fat , has been a key ingredient in many of my recipes.

Have you ever seen the movie Forest Gump staring the actor Tom Hanks? If you haven’t it is a must see movie as this main character in the film would innocently stumble upon new situations in his life with out giving up. Back then I had no idea what I was doing, I had no idea that I was later detoxing myself with all the information found in my self help pamphlets.I did not know or understand that I was doing the right thing for my body at the time.Like Forest Gump, I just knew that I was feeling better with time , and my excess weight just dropped off of me.
It took months for me to connected all the dots together ,and to realize later that I was on the right course and later adopted my new found life style, and embraced my discovered Health Freedom.

You have to realize that back then the internet was not so popular, I did not have a computer and everything was in print .As I turned over the bags of health material across my dinning room table, a few spilled out and over onto the floor, and I picked up one pamphlet closest to me.

“It read How to grow your own Wheat Grass authored by Dr. Anne Wigmore.”

For any body that does not know Dr. Anne Wigmore she is and will always be acknowledged by her followers as the “Wheat Grass Lady” and co founder of the Hippocrates Health Institute working with Viktoras Kulvinskas located in, Boston Massachusetts. Anne Wigmores movement opened up centers around the world and her name still lives on today for her research work regarding this powerful wheat grass body cleanser. Hippocrates a Greek Physician living thousands of years ago is the founding father of modern medicine today, and it is his oath that all interns today resit at graduation to become licensed Medical Doctors. Of all the famous quotes made from Hippocrates that speak the Truth for myself and I am sure for many others ,his words would be as follows………..
“ Let food be your medicine,and medicine be your food” …… When I first read this powerful message years ago I naturally carried the thought with me and later adopted the concept ,simply as “Connect with Nature and to do no Harm”.

I felt that Wheat Grass Juice was a powerful element coming from nature , and I started to use it in a complementary fashion with other cleansing whole foods in my life style.

Wheat Grass Juice at a Glance:

Fresh Wheat Grass is extremely Alkaline and Cleansing to your body ,which can help nutralize toxins in your internal digestive environment.

Fresh Wheat Grass juice is rich in natural Chlorophyll (the blood of all plant life) It is the green Chlorophyll that is rich in Oxygen and Enzymes that go directly to your cells minus the fiber that slows down digestion.

Fresh Wheat Grass will improve digestion and help to increase your metabolism and is a good appetite suppressor for people wanting to lose excessive weight.

At one time all grasses used to be fed to our live stock, which produced higher levels of the essential omega 3 fatty acids in there meat and the cuts where more lean. But now this Sustainable Agricultural practice is a rarity these days with more family owned farms being forced out of business. Now today much of our live stock is fed with factory farmed corn . Much of this corn grown today for our beef industry is GMO genetically modified organisms that of course is not labeled for consumer confidence.
Today I elect to eat the cows wheat grass for my self ,and to let the cow have her corn.
“On a nutritional score I will take the Wheat Grass over cows corn any time of the day, Thank You.”

Fresh Wheat Grass is loaded with bioavailable nutrition and very high in the minerals Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium ,Iron and high in the vitamins Beta Carotene (Pro Vitamin A) and C.

All living foods such as Wheat Grass will help feed ,and support our living Bacteria cultures about 5 to 6 pounds of this complex friendly flora bacteria residing in our stomach ,and intestines to support our immune system from invading organisms.

The molecules of Fresh Wheat Grass Juice is very similar to our own human blood chemistry. The only difference is the hemoglobin in Human blood, containing (FE) Iron gives our blood that deep red color.
And the Magnesium molecules (Mg) in the plants Chlorophyll rich blood provides the green color that we see so readily in nature. It is just amazing to me how humans, wild life,and the plant life on Earth share similarities respectfully , and structurally we are so connected with nature.

Wheat is a product that is used in so many of our foods including baked goods , proccesed foods,the supplement industry,beverages,medication,restaurants,fast food outlets you name it.
Wheat Berries are very high in the protein Gluten, that people with Celiac Disease ,or people that have allergies to Wheat consumption cannot not tolerate.

Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes a persons internal environment in the small intestinal tract to be damaged ,creating problems of malabsorption of nutrients that could lead to malnutrition, and whole list of unexplained symptoms in the body.

Other people could simply have an intolerance to Gluten or just have allergic reactions to the offending protein.

The problem with wheat and related Gluten grains are simple. The symptoms are so varied that they can mimic other ailments in the body and never get diagnosed, or even worse the chronic damage to the small intestines could go on with out exhibiting any symptoms at all in the person.
The good news is that Wheat Grass has no Gluten at all as the protein is dissolved into the wheat berries itself and is not found in the grass blades. So it is safe for all to drink Wheat Grass with out the risk of Gluten intolerance or to experience allergic reactions from consuming this liquid sunshine beverage.
To get around this potential problem , I eat a varied diet with some days having no grain at all.
It really is not difficult as there are so many alternative recipe ideas out there that do not include grains of any kind and I make many of them every day in my garden kitchen and they are very delicious. The Gluten grains to eat less of or to eliminate from your diet is Wheat Berries ,Spelt, Rye ,Triticale and Kamut.

The second thing that you can do is go for the non gluten grains ,such as Buckwheat which is really not related to wheat at all but classified as a fruit seed, Amaranth and Quinoa are ancient small grains that look more like seeds, plus Corn ( make sure its organic). Millet is a delicious small nutty tasting grain. Brown Rice including all other varieties of rice that are in the hundreds ,plus my favorite germinated GABA brown rice is also a good choice to make. So there you can see that there is a lot of non gluten delicious choises for you to make and I think it just makes good nutritional sense for your health to include a big variety of grains on rotation with even a few non grain days to give your self maximum nutritional support.

When on occasion I do eat Glutinous Wheat Berries , my method of preparation will take some of the gluten out of the Wheat Berries by sprouting for 2 to 3 days then steaming them there after.
It does seem to most people that it is a lot of trouble to do this,but for me it is not because it only takes me a couple of minutes a day to prepare them out of my schedule.
The big thing that I wish to convey here to you,is that many Processed Foods ,mostly from the Food Giants, have the protein gluten as a main ingredient, a secondary ingredient , or even a hidden unlabeled ingredient and I see this all the time. I do not eat processed food in my life style with few exceptions. It is not difficult to do and it can be done.

By eating nutrient dense foods like this, will help replace the empty calorie foods found in most man made processed packaged foods including heavy starchy cooked meals lacking in enzyme nutrition.

Barry’s Wheat Grass Experience Overseas:

The method for growing Wheat Grass in pots is really easy to do, as any person can learn to do this wonderful act of producing living foods. The great part of this is you do not need a traditional garden ,just a dark area of your kitchen or bath room that takes up a small space.
The important thing to have of course is a reputable ORGANIC seed supplier that has a good track record for delivering seeds that can sprout consistently . If the Wheat Barrie grains don’t sprout for more than at least 80 % of the seed planted then I would reconsider looking for another company for better sprouting results. Also it is important to note that if you see a lot of grains floating on the water surface that this is not a good sign.Wheat Berries that float normally do not sprout. Not all grains of wheat sprout at the same consistency so it is a good idea to start with grains locally to see how it goes with a small batch , and try another. I have had success and less successful results this way.

A good time to start is just before bedtime so allow yourself a few minutes for this.
Once you have your wheat berries then decide how much you would like to sprout ?and store the rest of your grains in airtight glass mason jars in a cool dark storage place.For the first time you may want to start of with a smaller amount of grain to cover ,lets say the estimated surface area of two clay pots 12 inches across? Or for what ever is available for your first time out.

Day 1:Place your wheat berries in a large ceramic or glass mixing bowl, (Never use Plastic) . Then fill with pure filtered water 3 to 4 inches above the surface level of your grains and stir with large spoon mixing the whole mixture. You will probably notice a lot of sediment and coloring in the water. It is important to rinse off all the gray sprouted water by taking a pail and placing a metal colander over top to pour your grains into it as the water collects at the base of the pail. Keep repeating this process until the water is crystal clear to the eyes. It should take about only 3 rinses to achieve this result. This is important because for best results you want to release all the protective enzyme inhibiters that surround each wheat berry grain that has a membrane coating , keeping the grain dormant indefinitely until the right conditions are presented such as water , air, and darkness.

Note about the collected rinse water: The water collected in the pail is excellent nurishment for your house plants or garden outside .

Then fill your bowl of Wheat Berries once more again ,with enough water ,about 3 inches above the grains surface. Lay a kitchen towel loosly over the bowl to create darkness ,turn off all the lights and then go to bed.

Day 2: In the morning check up on your bowl of submerged wheat berries, you may notice a difference in the way they look? Like looking more plump,thats a good sign as they soaked up some of the water.

Repeat Day 1 of rinsing until the water is clear again. Then inside of your metal colander spread a thin layer of all your Wheat Berries using the bottom round side of your big spoon to form a punch bowl shape of grains spreading up and around the colanders insides. You may need 2 stainless steel colanders to finish the job.

NOTE:Why I believe my colander method is a better, than the jar method? First you only attend the sprouts once per day and not 2 times like the jar method. And secondly I find that one day is saved in the total sprouting process, because my method exposes more circulating air and less moister , helping the grains to sprout faster.
Third there is no chance for the grains to spoil or grow mould from having too much moister and not enough air circulation. So in my opinion this method is more efficient and you get faster,and better results.

Put a dinner plate under the colander to collect any residual water ,with your spoon ,again spread the grains across and up the sides walls of your colander. Then cover the colander with a loose towel to put your sprouts in darkness again ,but also they are allowed to breath. Move everything to the darkest part of your kitchen or bathroom with the lights out. Or you can even put them in your kitchen cupboard with the door slightly open for air circulation using any object as a stopper.

Day 3 : In the morning inspect your colander of sprouted wheat , what do you see?
This time your Wheat Berry grains will be even more swelled up, but also a small stem like growth may have appeared and this indicates that your grain is starting to germinate and sprout for planting later.
I still get goose bumps with excitement , even today when I see this miracle of nature happen and I have been doing this for more than 25 years now. I sprout almost everything from different grains,seeds,legumes and nuts and it still fascinates me.

Repeat the rinsing process from day 2 until the water in the bowl is clear again then place a ,spread the grains as you did before along the insides of your colander , Then place a towel over the colander of grains to put into darkness again.

The next step is to go to your local nursery garden shop,where they sell a bag of dark rich organic soil.
And you would need a couple of clay pots with the holes at the bottom and also around the sides if you can find them but don’t worry a normal caly pot will do as well. In the photo you can see that the Wheat Grass roots have actually done by spreading deep through the soil ,and even out through the pots many holes. More air circulation in the soil helps faster growth from using these kinds of clay pots.

Buy a bag of medium size stones or you can even use discarded broken pieces of pottery as a drainage layer placed at the bottom of each clay pot.

The reason that I do not use plastic pots is in the fact that environmentally they are hazardous. Plastic is made with petrol chemicals that leech by product toxins into our eco system. I know we have plastic all around us it is not avoidable, I just think it should not be part of our soil and in the foods that we eat.Did you know that the largest land fill on our planet is not even on land. No its out in the Pacific ocean between the continental United States and the islands of Hawaii. This plastic land fill is the size of the state of Texas. Our unsustainable love affair with plastic pollution cannot be contained , and the marine life such as large filter feeders and smaller marine life is being adversely affected in that area.
Besides I think natural clay pots ,or ceramic as well just look better in the garden.And they look better on your window sill or any place in your home much more then plastic pots.

Day 4: Repeat the procedure again of rinsing and storage of grains in your colanders, and this time have a good inspection of your wheat berries.If you see some good stem growth on most of all your wheat berries at least 80 % of them, then it is a good time for planting.
If not then cover your colender with a towel and store them in darkness for planting the next morning.

Asuming that your wheat berries are all looking good,then bring out your clay pots, and make sure there is about 2 inches of stones ,broken pottery,marbles, or any hard subtances to allow good drainage.
Next add your Organic soil into the pot to leave at least 2 to 3 inches of space between the rim and surface of soil. A good 5 to 6 inches depth of soil is good.

Your wheat berries at this stage should have soft but firm bodies that can be easily sqeezed between your fingers .
Whet the soil down a little with pure filtered water , but not too much to form any puddle.
Spread your sprouted wheat berries in all directions over the surface of the soil,so that the grains are touching next to each other but not piled on top of each other.

Then place a dry news paper on top to cover the surface.
Then using a spray bottle wet the news paper down and you can drape a loose towel over top for darkness. Any seed, grain, legume or nut that is exposed to water and kept in darkness all the time like this , will think that they are actually in the ground ,and will start to sprout.
Your potted grains need to be still inside for the warmth of room temperature to encourage sprouting. Later in the day or just before you go to bed if you see that the news paper has dried out just give it another spray of water to wet the paper down again. No peaking!

Day 5:On this early morning day,all your TLC should be bringing you sure signs of LIFE as you slowly peel away the news papers.

What do you see? If you see most of all your grain sprouts reaching for the sky with longer stems then you have succeeded . They will be a color of pale cream and light green.

Give them some pure filtered water ,just enough to saturate the soil ,with out puddles.
You can leave them uncovered for good air circulation but still in darkness.
Before you go to bed you can give them some more water. “Good Night”

Day 6: On this morning, again inspect your juvenile wheat grass . You should see a lot of pale colored greenish hair growing upwards peaking over the rim of your clay pots.This is a good time to take them out side if it is a sunny summer day . If it is a cold winter then put the pots beside a big window for lots of sunshine . It is still important that the temperature around the wheat grass is still warm or room temperature. Water them, and water them again before bed.

Day 7: In the morning you should see a dramatic difference in your wheat grass by now!
The grasses are now long and green all bunched together ,maybe 5 to 6 inches tall? You can still let your grass grow another day all the way up to 10 days as you harvest what you need for your juicing pleasure. Always water once in the morning and once in the evening. You may have noticed that I purposely had you tend to your growing wheat grass either early in the morning and later in the evening only because this would not interfere with your daily schedule and in this way the program can be fitted in even for the busy person.
To harvest your wheat grass ,just use some scissors,and cut near the roots for the best nutrition.
Cut as much wheat grass as you need to make 4 ounces of juice.

I use a manual hand crank juicer that does a good job and they are affordable.
A slower revolution of the blades preserves more of the nutrition and with less oxidation.
The fibrous pulp will come out one end and the dark green juice will be collected in a container. I compost the fiber or if you don’t have a com-poster then you can mix the fiber in with your potting soil deep as it will all break down eventually and add aeration to the soil.

The Tray Method:
Another popular method among Sproutarians is to us a larger surface area using a shallow square or rectangle shaped tray.

It is the same method as the pots, but this time you just spread only about inch thick of organic peat moss. Another option is using some organic rich dark loamy garden soil .Sometimes I make a soil amendment of adding some pre soaked seaweed ,such as Wakami ,Kelp,or Chinese to my blender with a little pure water and blend into a liquid. This can be added and worked into the soil with a simple kitchen fork for extra fertilization to the soil but don’t overdo it as the wheat sprout is a hardy grain. Water the soil with out forming puddles.Then spread the germinated wheat sprouts across to the edges of the tray,so that the grains are touching but not piled on top of each other.Water the sprouts with out forming any puddle. And with a spray bottle wet them down. Cover them with dry newspaper , and wet the news paper down with out puddling.
Keep the trays inside in a dark room lightly covered with a towel for smaller productions and a bed spread for larger productions. Your trays of sprouts can also be stored in your cabinetry with the door slightly opened for air with darkness for the next 3 days . One time in the morning and one time in the evening give water to your sprouts and on the third day of awakening you should see a forest of pale green colored wheat grass. First move your trays to indirect natural sunlight . Then over the days ,the trays can be further moved to fuller sun light for maximum effect for photosynthesis of your grass blades, to collect energy from the sun.

It was just a matter of time , when after days, then weeks, then months of experimentation I started to see positive results in my health. And during my transition time ,my new way of thinking about food changed dramatically. I was no longer eating food off the canteen truck like I used to ,and instead I was bringing in my clearly marked bagged lunches and green smoothies into work. Looking inside the large studio refrigerator every day, I could not help notice how different the diets where of most of my colleagues in comparison to what I was eating.

I had realized then that I had become a Fruitarian,Vegetarian,Rawtarian,Sproutarian,Medtarian,(Mediterranean)
Macterian,(Macrobiotics)and Vegan days all rolled up into one and my lunches reflected this change in my life.

You have to understand that I was working in a Cartoon Studio in Hollywood California for Hanna -Barbera Studios at that time ,animating the cartoon feature film production ,entitled “Once Upon a Forest” a film about the environment of animals in the forest.
I was drinking so much carrot juice at the time , that my skin was actually taking on an orange color mostly in my hands ,but it was only temporary and it disappeared when I cut back.

I remember it was in 1990 when I got that telephone call at work , from Walt Disney Company to work overseas in Korea for the next 2 years.I know that this may raise a few eye brows among some of you, but I was actually practicing Agriculture in my business hotel room in down town Soul Korea. I had everything covered up in darkness so the maid was non the wiser.I was using the Matt Method,colander staining method ,hidden away in dresser drawers, closets, and under the bed. I had many of my sprouts in jars hidden under several card board boxes as well.

It was usually on the third day,that the gig was up and my secret was out because of course my sprouts needed fresh air and sunlight to grow and prosper.

During those 2 years It was not just the wheat grass growing in the various hotel rooms (the later ones had balconies)with stacks of trays everywhere ,it was everything else too like , Mung, Alfalfa, Pumpkin, Sunflower,Basil,Barley and others.

Eventually I moved into the privacy of my own flat to grow my food, and to live my Sproutarian Life in more privacy. Some times I would go to a nice restaurant , where the management new me, and accepted my patronage for some of my favorite Korean dishes like Brown Rice Bi-Bi m-Bap ,a Salad,with Miso Soup and some Herbal Tea. Occasionally I would slip some of my home made sprouts into my dish served.

But this was a good way for me to supplement my Korean diet and I enjoyed the Korean Red and White Ginseng that was on offer by the store box fulls, and the traditional Kimchi. (Fermented vegetables) Since then I moved around a lot living in different places all over Asia and Europe .I discovered different ethnic ,and cultural cuisines that up to this day has profoundly influenced my way of thinking about food, and the recipes that followed.
For the serious Wheat Grass Grower that happens to live in a tropical climate all year round like myself, an interesting option became available to me. Growing wheat grass outdoors in raised garden beds by the boat load was possible even living here in Phuket Thailand !
I hope that you have enjoyed reading my experience with food ? Especially about growing wheat grass ,as much as I have enjoyed writing about my experience for you.

Nutrition and in this case, more interesting Earth Recipe choices can be easily created by you with color and incredible good taste directly from Nature. Delicious recipes can come from Nature , it does not have to be processed.
For seed companies ,when you are happy with a company then stay with them but always keep your eyes out for competitive offers as well. I use my own supplier in Thailand for now so I do not have any experience with the suppliers on my short list. But I did review their websites and many have good information to give you,for sprouting of living foods. I enjoyed visiting them all. “I wish you all the success for your new healthy lifestyle as a fellow Sproutarian.”

" The blood of plants is green in color , the blood of humans and animals are red in color, this is where the difference ends."

Barry’s Gourmet Sprouting Tip:
When you prepare your recipes using Organic or Heirloom produce,you have a wonderful option to save yourself a lot of money and to put more food on your table for your self and your family and it is all for FREE.

Save your seeds for later use. You can sprout with them, grow fruits and vegetables in your existing garden and a lot more. I don’t know why I did not think of this years ago? I have been practicing this seed saving good for the environment habit for about 4 years now from this writing.
When you think of it our forefathers and family owned farms for generations have been saving their own seeds for the next generation of harvest. So why cant we do the same thing even though it is on a much smaller scale? In my teens I used to work for a grocery store, and it just amazed me how much expired food was being dumped out along with the seeds to our land fills. What a waste of resources.

“Seeds are a gift from nature to be used over and over again, and not to be discarded for ever.”

Seed saving is easy and practical when you schedule in the time to practice this important way of living green.

First you want to save seeds that you grow, and that your garden naturally grows as your existing soil will already be suited for this purpose. For example when I compost my kitchen scraps then later distribute the green manure around my garden , I see in time hundreds of little Papaya trees growing everywhere so in this case I do not have to save seeds for this tropical fruit,as nature does it for me.

It is important to use organic heirloom seeds ( Original seed that has been saved by generations before the industrial revolution)from your produce , as hybrid conventional produce has been denatured and treated by the biotech industry to make the food insect resistant, and like I have been saying all along that plants are systemic meaning that their root systems absorb everything including the pesticide and herbicide chemical applied.

It is important for me to note here ,that you should consider what local foods are grown best in your area as these seeds will do well, and should be your first choice. For example I would not save seeds of apple because they are not grown in my area, but Papaya is. This could be the opposite case where you happen to live?
When you have formulated a list of fruits and vegetables plus herbs that grow well in your area then it is time for you to save seeds of that nature.

I am going to be really general here as the plant kingdom offers many different ways of saving seed that is appropriate for each plant and area. It is best to pick your best looking , plant that is ready to eat for example a tomato. Any fleshy plant with lots of small seeds will be difficult to save so a method of separating most of the pulp and skin by hand must be done first. Then place the flesh and seeds into a glass of water and wait for the seeds to settle to the bottom. Depending on the plant it could take hours to days. Then place the seeds in a colander straining basket and wash off the remaining pulp thourouly. You can now place your wet seeds on a natural fiber towel or floor matt.(a towel that has not been bleached white with the chemical dioxin)

Spread your seeds across half of the towel or matt ,then fold the other half over your seeds, and then again fold again to the size of a quarter of your original matt or towel size. You can also role the your matt loosely into a burrito for air circulation.
The moister from the seeds will be absorbed into the matt or towel and left this way for half a day or more. Uncover the matt or towel, then place your seeds on glass or ceramic dish ware, or on a large window screen that has been converted into a table for drying out your seeds in indirect sun light. When your seeds are perfectly dry and clean with out any moister to the touch, then the seeds can be packaged in non white natural paper envelopes, Next of course it is important to write the date and the name of the seed on the envelope.

I like to put my envelopes in air tight mason jars and store them in my refrigerator or even my wine cooler. Seeds age well under these conditions and they are good for up to 2 years or more.
For a longer time put your stored seeds in the freezer that can keep for up to 10 years or more before use.
In some cases you can go right into food production. For instance the the King of all fruits the Durian fruit which is one of my favorites has a different approach.
A good durian is when you shake the fruit violently close to your ear, and you can hear the bods rattle back and fourth,then you know its a good one. Just make sure you where your heavy protective mitts as the hard spikes of this fruit is fearsome and dangerous if not handled carefully.
Cut the pungent Durian length wise and remove the fleshy meat from the seeds by hand.
Its the Fruity meat that is so offensive to so many people , in the smell department but I feel different about it now as my taste buds and nose has changed over the years.The seeds are large like the size of a golf ball,but of course my garden coconut is the king in the size department.
Soak the Durian seeds in a large bowl of water for 3 days or until you see a growth tip at the end ,then plant them in a pot side ways and cover with soil so that you see just a bit of the seed .In one or two months you have a durian tree about 7 to 12 inches high.
Seeds for sprouting,gardening and saving is a great way to connect with nature.

“Saving seeds is a gift from nature that should not be ignored.”

Hopefully after reading through this article , you may look and think about foods differently then you have previously thought of ? And possible you may decide to implement some of these ideas that I will present to you in this writing?

I will demonstrate the relevancy of this photo of food left overs with the connection of our environment impacting planet Earth today.

In this special report I will show you how to increase your nutritional status and at the same time how to stretch your food bill to save you money. Tips that are practical and easy to do and cost effective for you. I will also demonstrate how our individual food choices and shopping habits create a direct effect on the health of our planet.

All of us are faced sooner or later with this dilemma ? What to do with all the left over food ?
We have many options hear good and bad and I will address many of them in this article.
Since every person has a different taste in foods ,with different shopping habits its fair to say that whats in my refrigerator and kitchen pantry shelves will not be the same as what you have stocked in yours .
So this recipe and the following ideas presented to you will be treated as just a guide to give you some thoughts about how to handle perishables ,and how to come up with your own ideas for individual recipes of your own in creating something from nothing with left overs. You may be surprised at all the options that you have at your disposal , no pun intended.

Recipe ideas that are fast and easy to make , just by working with left over foods that we all have to attend to eventually. Just think of all that accumulated biodegradable human food waste near the end of the fruit or vegetables natural expiry date ? We know that the good guys ,such as living produce foods , do not have a long shelf life so we tend to buy less of them and unfortunately many people will buy much more of the long shelf life packaged process dead foods, (Those are the bad guys)that line most of the grocery store shelves these days.

Subconsciously consumers may feel that by buying a lot of goods and foods in one go will save time money and gas in their vehicle but in reality it may not work out that way at all. Did you know that globally more pollution from world freight transportation ,and storage is produced more from purchasing imported food products than the pollution created from all the cars around the world put together.

So do not feel bad when driving to the store often to buy locally and in season produce ,and locally made processed foods of the country that you live in. Personally I think of most imports as almost a luxury item, with a dark side of the story to it that I will address with you in this writing.
Just do as I do if you can , and buy the imports less often as a last resort and in moderation to save money on your over all food bill .In regards to your health it is fact that all food imports will lose up to 40 percent of their nutritional value compared to your seasonal locally produced foods. Local foods will not be exposed to the same treatments imposed on imports such as Irradiation , Fumigation , Preservatives,and Genetically Modified Organisms, GMO. In addition much of the imported produce is harvested prematurely and picked way to early and un ripe, to make the long journey possible overseas.

So in essence when you support your local organic farmer like at farmers markets ,in purchasing whole plant based foods in the country that you live in ,even with the higher organic price tag on it ,in most cases you still will be saving more of your hard earned currency in the end and your food is cleaner safer and comparatively much higher in nutrition.

The fact is in many cases the processed imported foods are subsidized by the tax money of the country that the food is coming from to compete in price with the locally produced foods in many countries around the world today. But with the cost of packaging shipping storage,oil prices,and retail mark ups the imported food item will still cost you more at the till. It all adds up in the end.

Generally speaking Organic farming practices are more labor intensive and are not government tax payer subsidized in such a high degree as chemical agricultural factory farms. This will reflect on the higher price tag of organic produce , over their conventional chemical farm counter parts.

When you support your local organic farmer with your purchasing power you are making a strong statement that includes the following. (1)You are protecting the top soil , and all the biodiversity of that farms natural environment. (2)You are giving your self higher nutrition , with out the chemical residues found in conventional produce. (3)You are enriching your own garden with safe and clean composted top soil only possible from organically grown produce.(4)You are protecting natures heirloom seeds that unfortunately today are in peril of extinction over time brought on by the bio tech industry.

The one good thing that you can do with your locally produced fruits and vegetables and unfortunately most people don’t think about this to much today, is all the SEED SAVING opportunities that you have .I am not talking about saving seeds from your garden that most all websites are talking about even though you can do this as well ,if you are lucky enough to have enough garden space at your home. I am talking instead of a more direct approach to saving seeds that will add more free foods to your table at no extra cost to you. It just takes a little bit of your spare time to set things up is all that is required.

First it is important to purchase only Organically grown fruits and vegetables for seed saving for the following reasons. This is something they do not want you to know about, but it needs to be told as I believe all consumers have a right to know.

Science knows that plants in nature by design,are very capable of absorbing inorganic minerals through their extensive root systems , and converting the minerals into dietary bioavailable organic minerals starches,carbohydrates,plant enzymes ,cell fibers ,and the green chlorophyl, that would make up the cell walls of the plant through out the stalk , leaves and fruit ,flower and berries. This is the best way for us to get our mineral wealth of nutrition , directly through the plant kingdom and not directly from the ground up rocks or inorganic mineral beds. The Bio Tech industry uses this plant delivery system to gage and to record how much of their chemical pesticide or chemical used to make the plant more pest resistant is taken up through the plants root systems. In other words how much of the pesticide or chemical is the plant absorbing systemically? Most people are under the false impression that the conventionally grown plant only has a residue of chemical that just takes a through rinse and bath to wash off the residues, but this is not true at all. Systemic means that the chemical used is actually absorbed via the plants root systems including the plants cell wall internal parts of the whole plant . So this means that the pesticide toxin becomes actually part of the plant. This is the part that you are not suppose to know, so that said it is always better to buy locally and Organic for your own health
and safety. It is believed by many that systemic insecticides,which poison pollen and nectar in the flowers, may kill bees and other needed pollinators.
With out beneficial insect pollinators like honey bees, butterflies and the like , our fruits and vegetables will not get crossed pollinated like nature intended.
There is a serious shift in world pesticide use from America to developing countries. Currently seventy five percent of all pesticides in the world are now used in developing countries and the use is increasing annually. Of course we know that much of this food is exported back to the US consumer market place.
The problem with agricultural pesticide use is the insidious cycle of the pests built in resistance and ability to mutate , forcing the chemical manufactures to develop even stronger chemicals that on average only has the efficacy of exterminating 2% of the target pest. The whole sale application of these synthetic chemicals take a heavy toll with wind drift, and leaching into our water supply, and assimilating into the fatty tissues of our conventional live stock.
With the lions share of pesticides being used today out side of the United States its really amazing that the Human Health and Environmental cost from pesticide use is a staggering 9.06 Billion US Dollars per year. This is the harm done by agricultural pesticides when broken down into categories reported annually that should raise a few eye brows.

Public Health cost .1 Billion
Pesticide resistance in pests .5 Billion
Crop losses caused by pesticide use 1. 4 Billion
Bird death due to pesticides .2 Billion
Ground Water contamination $ 2.0 Billion
Other associated costs $ 1.4 Billion
Grand total annual cost to the US economy .06 Billion US Dollars

That said if there is any good news to all of this , it is a fact today that the Organic movement in the US is one of the fastest growing sectors with sales increasing substantially every year so people are starting to become informed of their food choices and I find this trend very encouraging for these people.

But still we have a long way to go because globally we are self poisoning our selves , our environment,wild life and its habitat when we as consumers support chemically treated produce. I am not suggesting that we run from our whole living foods to embrace the packaged processed foods ,no way that is the last thing that you should do .
The best thing for your health is to stay on a plant based diet and support your local Organic farmer as much as possible and to save the seeds for sprouting and for planting in your garden. The next best thing is to make a transition over and adapt to a plant based diet even if it includes conventionally sprayed produce . And third stay away from packaged commercially processed foods as much as possible . I am not painting a broad brush across the processes food industry as I do buy a few selected products that are actually healthy and good for you and you can find them in some of my recipes. I plan in the near future to give you my secret short list of processed foods that will help reverse heart disease, increase your metabolism to lose weight, help you with cancer prevention, and to give you many more health benefits that you can utilize in your health program.

And secondly another thing that we are not suppose to know, is the way our foods are treated in overseas retail markets between the more affluent agricultural chemical corporations and much of the third worlds agricultural base. Basically over the years the US Environmental Protection Agency EPA ,has been doing a good job banning many hazardous chemicals from the American market place for public safety which I agree is a good thing. But with all this banned chemical inventory , the manufactures cannot just cut their loses and start over, that would be completely unacceptable to them. So instead they ship all their banned agricultural pesticide chemicals to less developed third world countries for cash crops that in turn are to be exported back to the United States consumer for consumption of their own banned chemical pesticide product that effectively skirts around the EPA,s banned loop hole imposed inside the United States.

One good example , and I am sure that many of the coffee lovers out there will just not want to know about this. But disclosing this information is important for our health and I believe all consumers have a right to know !

According to reports that I read from MSN Health Canada, and the Rodale Organic Institute based in the USA research studies show that the number one imported cash crop for EPA banned chemical pesticide use is you guest it Coffee. Yes coffee crops overseas are sprayed with known toxins that are on the banned chemical list in the USA. And yes they are carcinogenic and take a serious public health toll on people that do not take care of themselves.Studies conclude that Cancer is preventable in most cases.
I know this because I have lived and worked in many third world countries over the years ,especially in the Asian region and I have read several times in the countries newspapers about banned imported agricultural chemicals being found on local produce that should have been used for the export market place instead.

So given the facts , it would be in your best health interest to purchase and drink Organically grown coffee only, even at the higher price tag.It is not cheap for the third world farmer to convert and to make a transition over to organic when the field is by law required to lay fallow and unproductive for 3 years before commencement of organic farm seeding and planting to obtain the Certified Organic label. In Thailand where I live you can enjoy organically grown coffee grown in the hills in the countries northern Chiang Mai province produced by the indigenous hill tribes people that historically grew poppies for the golden triangles drug trade years ago.
I have included for you a free PDF down load that shows the extent of how far a third world country will go to get it right for effective application of chemical pesticides.

Barry’s Gourmet Photo Food Left Overs Ingredients & Method:

First before I start listing the ingredients in this photo it is very important to note that for me the best way to utilize all the perishable vegetables is to make a plan of how you would treat and section them in a tasty and pleasing way.

I like to present the meal as a salad a soup or stew, a raw pudding or dip, and a beverage of tea,broth, or juice so I have options to work with .

In the photo I chose to present a salad ,stew,raw pudding dip, with a broth beverage.

STEW INGREDIENTS :Assortment of root vegetables like carrot ,beat, and turnip.
Legumes such as string bean, sprouted mung and garbanzo (chickpeas)
Some Brown Rice or sprouted wheat berries on hand.
Some cherrie tomato.

SOUP CONDIMENTS for natural flavoring : Dry onion and garlic ,& ground pepper.
I always keep a liquid broth of Shiitake Mushrooms in glass stored in my refrigerator.
Easy to make the soup broth by adding a few dry mushroom caps to a glass jar , fill with pure water seal it securely with the lid and store in the refrigerator.It keeps for a very long time many days as I continue to add water as needed.
For that salty taste for any of the salt lovers out there I use SOLE WATER.
Easy to make just take a pink ( they may be any color) piece of Himalayan Sea Salt crystal ,place it in a glass jar and let the mineral dissolve into the water . Of course different batches will have different salt concentrations so experiment for the taste that you are looking for .
Your other option is granulated sea salt as well. For your health all inorganic salt products should be used sparingly and in moderation only, and I will explained why this matters and address this point in this writing .

VEGETABLE STEW METHOD: Pour in your Mushroom broth ,and add to your liking,dry onion,garlic,and ground pepper. Optional for some people who like it hot and spicy like I do then add some Thai Chili Powder.
then taste the broth as it is heating and then start to make your adjustments. Add some Sole water or sea salt and taste , and if you want it sweeter just add some raw honey or maybe some savory tamarind juice? Tamarind is a long lumpy thin soft but firm thin fruit with a brown shell that can be easily broken with a knife and fingers. The fruit grows in South East Asia and is used in many Thai recipes. Asian stores also sell the raw fruit in different size packages. To make the juice or the sauce is really simple ,just put some in a glass jar ,fill it with pure water , mix it or you can even blend it and store this wonderful condiment in your refrigerator ,it keeps for days. Tamarind sauce or juice is delicious and I use it in all kinds of ways to get that natural sweet sour and tart taste in my foods. If you like the broth more spicy you can add a pinch of Thai Red Chili powder and for curry lovers you could try a bit of curry powder as well. You see how flexible I am with you ? Because not every one will have the same taste in food and really all our taste buds are different even if its subtle. When it comes to food one size does not fit all. Add all your root When your broth finally passes your personal taste test then add all your root vegetables to the broth and let cook on low medium heat do not over cook.
I like my root vegetables a bit soft on the outside but a bit crunchy on the inside ,and make sure before hand that all the pieces are as much as possible the same size for even flavor through out.

SALAD MIX: Any salad greens will do. Including an assortment of leafy greens, celery,fresh green herbs and even a few berries can be used in the salad.Some red bell pepper , a few nuts and any seed that is near by. You can even use presoaked dry fruits in your salad . You see there are no set rules hear , nothing is carved in stone ! You are the Gourmet of your kitchen , and that is the way I like to present many of my recipes to you, so that you can come up with your own creations using my recipe ideas as guides. I do not believe in paint by number recipes , I think creative culinary spontaneity that has surprises along the way ,including the finished main dish is the way to go. But that is just me!

PROTEIN POWDER TOPPING: Seed is better digested when it is Dry Milled to absorb all the essential oils and unsaturated fats.
A good method is to use a dry mill cup that comes with all high quality glass blenders.
Just place the cup on top of the blender unit ,pour in your selected whole dry seeds at any mix that you desire, such as black and white sesame, flax,chia,pumpkin,even a little bit of bee pollen
granules will give some savory sweetness to this protein powder.
Cover with the lid ,turn on the blender and in no time at all you have a very powerful home made protein powder that you can use to sprinkle on your stew and salad.

VINIGARETE :For your tossed salad. For most people a raw salad needs some kind of dressing.
Tip: Sometimes I save and old back some of my smoothie to use as a quick dressing to dress up my food left overs.
For the vinaigrette its fast and simple: One teaspoon of each of the following. Cold pressed Apple Cider Vinegar,fresh Lime or lemon juice, and Raw unfiltered Honey. Optional one grated raw garlic clove. Mix together in a bowl and toss your salad .Then sprinkle your protein powder over top.

Recipe Tip from Barry Gourmet & Raw: Its always easier to get the taste of the broth right first then add the vegetables later ,then to be wrestling with the vegetables in the sauce pan to get the taste right. Also not all the ingredients have to be left over foods , you should and can add some fresh ones into the mix as well.

Turn of the heat and let the flavor of the vegetables steep into the broth for 5 minutes.
Put some boiling water on the stove.
Now strain the liquid broth from the vegetables in your sauce pan into a cup to make your broth beverage and what is left over is your stew.

BARRY’S GOURMET VEGETABLE DIP: While that is going on you can make a simple raw dip or pudding like this!
Take that whole Avocado and de skin it ,discard the pit and with a spoon add the green flesh to your mixing bowl. Add a table spoon of any one of the oils that happen to be in reach and is available to you. Cold pressed Virgin Olive Oil. Cold pressed Coconut Oil, or Cold pressed Flax Seed Oil all organic as much as possible stored in glass or metal.

Mix the oil in and add the following ingredients to taste .Some diced tomatoes,grated garlic, lemon or lime juice,a little bit of raw unfiltered honey , ground pepper and sea salt.
Mix well and put aside.
For a vegetable topping I decided to use fresh broccoli florets , so I cut a few of the flower parts off and placed them in previously boiled water to blanch them.Then I pour a bit of Kikoman Soy Sauce on a plate,then mix in some Wasabi or Mustard powder and with tongs take each broccoli
vegetable out and swish the florets around the dish to cover with the hot and salty sauce . I turn them over and stick them in the my avocado dip and sprinkled with savory bee pollen.

How to share your Left Overs with your Friend for Two?

Of course you may not be alone in the kitchen when all this stuff is going on , and life is all about sharing isn’t it?
An extension of your family will most likely be close by to help you with all this.
Some times we have 2 mouths to feed and your furry friend could be right there johnny on the spot to help you with your left overs.
I am talking about your dog of course !
This is a great opportunity to clean house and to , bond with mans best friend.
Dogs are true omnivores (eating meat and plant ) and Cats are more carnivore (eating mostly meat) so the cat is out of luck this time.

To make a fast and nutritious dog meal for your furry friend just do the following.
Put some of your leafy greens in your blender and if you have some soaked seaweed of any kind stored in your refrigerator add some of that as well .( Seaweed is chalk full of bioavailable minerals and vitamins that you may not find enough in commercial dry dog kibble so go for it.)
Seaweed is a Super Food for both humans and dogs , and this sea vegetable is woefully missing in modern day agriculture. Seaweed is a rich source of the essential trace mineral iodine that is in abundance in this sea vegetable about 5 times more than milk has, with out all the saturated fat.
The essential trace mineral selenium and iodine support each other working together in the body as co factors so it is important to consume foods rich in selenium and iodine together. For example just 2 Brazil nuts a day would provide you more than your RDA of the mineral selenium.
Iodine regulates hormones that are produced by your thyroid gland located in your neck area. Today iodine is put in all of our iodized (sodium chloride) table salt and many processed foods.
But now with the high sodium salt intake in the western diet , more cases of hypertension ,heart disease is on the rise. Seaweed is also high in the mineral sodium with the iodine ,but its organically produced in nature with out the detrimental health effects of the manufactured processed inorganic table salts. Consuming more seaweed of all varieties will help regulate your metabolism ,to help you to all that excess body weight. Seaweed is high in all minerals to support heart health ,where iodized table salt is proven to do just the opposite. With some research we have informed choices that we can make in our lives.

Add some water and blend. The reason that I blend the vegetables for my dog and not serve them chopped is simple. Dogs do not chew their food, like humans can,the canine will bite down and swallow everything whole for digestion to occur in the stomach. Basically a dog drinks and swallows and no chewing of food. And the other reason is many dogs including my own is clever enough to eat around the vegetables to get to the meat first just to leave you with a bowl of uneaten vegetables to clean up.
By contrast humans start with digestion in the mouth to break down complex carbohydrates with the the enzyme amylase , allowing us to chew side to side using the flat molars of our teeth to further break proteins and carbs down producing a food product called chime that finally gets swallowed. This is how we are suppose to eat but today with our busy fast paste life with no time to spare we are starting to eat just like our furry friend does, and this is when we start to get into trouble with our health.
Pour the smoothie into the the dog bowl then sprinkle in some of your seed protein powder and mix it well to form a very nutritious gravy for your dog.
I am sure that we can agree that our dogs protein requirements are much greater than our own, and this is one reason why my dog eats quality proteins from human grade meats and not the carbohydrates and low quality proteins you find in commercially processed dry dog kibble.
Many humans take better care of themselves much more than their own pet and vise versa.
A pet is an extension of our family and all of us should research and find out the truth regarding the politics of food, the business side of food, and the truth about the nutrition of food that goes into our body and even into our pet every day.

I cannot fit all the reasons why I don’t feed commercial Dry Dog kibble to my furry friend named Lucky into this article so I am giving you a link here to find out for yourself to give you more information on the subject at.
:http://www.preciouspets.org/cancer.htm

Stored in the refrigerator I select any one of my previously frozen home made meat packets.
Originally the meat was steamed or boiled. A meat packet could have ingredients like,
Chicken, Liver, Beef, Pork, Duck, Lamb, all mixed with the broth.

If any dog owner is concerned about any cooked bones causing trouble inside the animals larynx or stomach cavity all I can say is my own dog of 7 years never has a problem with this, and did you know that a dogs powerful stomach acids do actually dissolve bones raw or cooked.

Add and stir in your selected meats to your dog bowl and serve. Final note for finicky dogs.
If you are starting out for the first time to help your dog make the transition from devitalized process dry dog foods over to real natures made home made pet food then do it gradually over time.
Dogs are no different than humans when it comes to diet and nutritional changes.
Feed often your human grade meats first using your hand and lead the dog to their bowl and in time your dog will be less finicky with the new natural foods.

From the photo presentation of left over foods I only gave my dog the salad greens and the milled protein powder only. The reason is simple as certain human foods are very dangerous for us to
feed to them and this is why I did not share my root vegetables, avocado and broth that has onions in it. I have a comprehensive food list of what all the human foods that a dog should not eat at the following site at www.flickr.com/photos/54619340@N07/
Just scroll down to the photo that says Barry,s Asian Salmon

I hope that you now see food differently than before , and that you are now thinking about your available options for protection of your good health, and for your pet as well, and for the nutritional support that you can provide for your vibrant good health.

“ Nature does not care what we think, what we do with our lives, or how much money it can get from us .Nature is there for us to connect with and to enjoy her gift of seed baring foods ,to work with her sustainably, she has been around a lot longer then we have,Earth Matters.’"

The Bill Clinton Smoothie?
Written by Barry Gourmet & Raw © Copyright October 12 2011

How President Bill Clinton reversed his own Heart Disease using only Natural foods with a life style change?

The Answer to this can be found here.

What is a Plant Based Diet?
This question gets asked a lot ,and many people have different ideas of what a plant based diet is and so I intend to find out for myself what its really all about.
A good place to look for answers is wikipedia , so I went there to see what this online dictionary had to say , and the answers may surprise you?

According to Wikipedia a Plant Based Diet can mean different things to different people.
Here are the examples of a plant based diet.

Seven variations are mentioned ,but if you combine and mix them with your cultural cuisine then you could potentially have dozens of variables.

These are the seven listed:

HERBIVORE: can be any mammal or human that adapts to eating plants and not meat of any kind.

VEGANISM: Is the ultimate 100 percent plant based diet ,with absolutely no food from animal sources including the bee product honey. How ever probiotic bacterial cultures are generally accepted.

FRUITARIANISM: Is very similar to Veganism , where the meals consist of primarily fruit and their seeds.

RAW VEGANISM: Is a type of Veganism, but with food uncooked in their RAW state with life giving Enzymes , and water soluble vitamins like vitamin C in-tacked and ready for available digestion of the nutrients. Some of their raw food preparations may be dehydrated at very low temperatures that may take hours to prepare to preserve the enzymes of the food. Raw fermented foods are also used.

VEGETARIANISM: Is a plant based diet that may include eggs,milk and cheese.
One important note on Vegetarianism: Many commercially processed foods are labeled as vegetarian as the Processed Food Giants know that this is a huge and growing niche consumer market place for them.

MACROBIOTIC DIET: Macrobiotic cuisine originated in japan ,then expanded world wide .
This diet is plant based and uses all whole foods from nature including vegetables, fruits, legumes,seeds, fermented soy products,sea vegetables, mushrooms, bancha green tea, and other herbs with occasional sea food mostly fish.

SEMI-VEGETARIANISM: Is a plant based diet with occasional meat products from land and the sea.
Resources: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant-based_diet

If you could label your self what would you be?

For myself I would say that I am a combination of some of the above and I practice the following from the most practiced to the least practiced in this order.
Raw Veganism ,Veganism,Fruitarianism ,(Often I eat only fruit at a sitting)
Macrobiotic diet,( I live in South East Asia and use local organically grown and wild crafted produce in season as much as possible with a Thai flavor) I am also a Sproutarian. A process of adding air oxygen and pure water in darkness to germinate seeds , nuts, and grains. This process will Alkalize , and increase the bio available nutrients for my body, and gives me the opportunity to save the seeds for my garden.

I practice Vegetarianism the least . Wild same day seafood from my local Sea Gypsy village. I include on occasion , a free range organic duck or hen egg. Some times on occasion a free range duck or hen that is found in my village. Maybe on occasion some raw organic goat milk that I make cultured Kefir from.
Note that I boycott most all man made processed foods , I look for real food that only nature can provide.
I do not smoke , and I do not take any Pharmaceutical Drugs , including over the counter prescriptions.
I do on occasion drink Organic Red Wine with a meal that includes a small portion of cooked meat with lots of raw vegetables with steamed and cultured foods.
When you prepare your meals at home you are in control of your diet . When you eat out you are out of control of your diet.

For Bill Clinton what kind of Plant Based Diet diet would he be on? The answer will surprise you.

The best choice to have , is to eat foods loaded with life sustaining enzymes like RAW LEAFY GREENS, FRUITS,VEGETABLES,SPROUTED GRAINS,NUTS,SEEDS,HERBS,and Sea vegetables, with the following foods for your Vegetarian Plant Based Diet Plan.

Steamed , baked, or pan fried small cold water fish, such as Wild Seafoods of ,Salmon,Tuna,Mackerel, Sardines,and smaller Tuna directly from the wild , and never from the farm.
Farm raised fish , are penned in and their movement is controlled in close proximity to each other causing stress and disease. Routinely the Fish farms will dose the water with a chemical bath ,including antibiotic treatments.This high protein and essential vitamin B-12 source will also provide essential bioavailable, Omega 3 fatty Acids that the body needs.But many people will think about all the Mercury ,that we hear about all the time from the media.The fact is a person will have much more Mercury in their mouth than a fish would have in their bodies ,if the persons mouth is full of dental mercury amalgam fillings that is getting a lot of press lately.
I recommend to find a good Environmental Dentist and have the toxic fillings removed.
To reduce or even eliminate your exposure to Mercury stay away from large predatory fish like sharks, swordfish ,Large Tuna, and other large predatory seafood species as the mercury load will be much greater.
A good tip to reduce or eliminate Mercury or any heavy metal from consuming fish is to drink Green Tea with the meal. Yes its true .Studies have proven that drinking Green tea with fish creates a chelation effect that only green tea can do, as black tea does not work as well according to the studies. The reduction of mercury can be as high as 95 percent in some of the results. Eat sparingly and in small portions.
If the ducks, chickens, and their eggs are grass and grained fed organically and open range then this food may be considered in your diet. Eat sparingly and in small portions.
Dairy that is grass feed ,organic,and cultured naturally, is good in moderation and sparingly.
Many people may think ,how can I eat this way it looks bland,boring,not tasty,and to difficult to make? This kind of thinking is far from the truth , as many large groups of people today living on planet Earth are eating exactly this way every day of their lives and living happy and healthy to a ripe mature age.

These five groups of people are from,the island of Sardinia Italy, Lorma Linda California,Okinawa Japan,Nicoya,Costa Rica,and the island of Ikaria Greece referred to as the 5 Blues Zones of the world.
The explorer Dan Buettner,worked with the National Geographic Society, in 2004 to identify and research the longest living human beings, on Earth. These sociable ,happy people lived close to Nature and Spirit, with a strong sense of purpose in life. Many of them lived on into their Hundredth Birthday and beyond. Dan Buettner named these five longevity locations the Blue Zones.
In fact today it really is easy to learn to eat this way with all the Food Website information on line these days.Plus with You Tube recipe videos on line ,plus all the books on Raw Plant based dieting out there its easy to find the information you are looking for these days . I live a Plant Based mostly raw diet every day for years now with no problem what so ever , and you can do it to, if you want to ?

To go from the SAD diet, (Standard American Diet )like I did, you would have to slowly transition over into it and I will explain why and in much more detail in another article because,for most people living in the modern world it will not be so easy in the beginning . Some people may fail their first time around especially if they go into it fast and abruptly. They may only succeed the second or third time around . This can happen for a host of different reasons. But for those who have succeeded in the transition over to a plant based diet with lots of living foods will know how they felt then and how they feel today over time.

Their taste buds have changed ,among many other things over time and when they do cheat and go back to their old ways of dieting its not the same as before. Trust me on this one. After eating for years Natures Plant based foods of Natures natural sugars and continuing to do so to this day,I can only give you one incident that under unusual circumstances of myself eating into a sugary processed cookie . It only confirmed the fact in my mind and to my taste buds as well, that there is no longer any appeal anymore to my appetite or even to my palate and taste buds to even want to entertain the idea of going back to consuming processed commercial foods again that is lacking in fiber and real taste that Nature intended.

Ingredients and Method to the Bill Clinton Smoothie:

Bill loves almond milk,in the morning with some fruit and protein powder ,so what kind of smoothie would Bill make in the morning? Or if I was to make a smoothie for Bill Clinton what would it look like, and how would it taste?
I can let Bill decide ?

The Bill Clinton Smoothie Ingredients: Plus Nutritional information in (brackets) showing the highest prominent nutrients for that particular food. Also I am including some of my comments for these important foods through out as well.

Normally many Smoothie enthusiasts like to use bananas for fruit but in this case I would like to make something more special for Bill.

Fruits: One whole organic apple has ( Pectin fiber,Malic Acid, a good source for Vitamin C
( Vitamin C Vitamin K and B-6. Minerals include Calcium,Iron,Magnesium,Phosphorus,High in Potassium, with Copper and Manganese.)
Note that with all fruits and vegetables the nutrients are densely concentrated more towards the skin and on the skins themselves so this is another reason to eat organically, for ultimate nutrition plus the dietary fiber of the skins will help with your transit time ,and help feed the friendly probiotic bacteria in your digestive tract.I also recommend consuming any edible seed from organic produce or save them for growing in your garden which is what I do.

4 plump Dates : Dates is Natures Sweetness for any recipe. All I can say is why in the world would any body need the empty calories and simple carbohydrates like processed white sugar when NATURE provides all the complex carbohydrates that includes dietary fiber , and vitamins and minerals that are missing in the white granulated processed sugar products ? Dates and other naturally sweet foods eaten in moderation can easily ween a person off the addictions of the processed food industries with support from a Natural Path ND, or people close enough to you that you know already that have already kicked the habit can help you only if you want it? Simple processed sugars are one of the biggest contributors to Obesity, Malnutrition, Blood Sugar Spikes, Diabetes, Candida , Tooth decay,and Chronic Illnesses .
Why do I know this? Because more than 2 decades ago I was addicted to processed sugary foods and my weight ballooned to extreme measures , and when I was tested and diagnosed with a barge of weight related diseases and given grim outlooks from my Doctors with no real natural remedy or plan to reverse my condition .I took it upon myself to find Doctors like Bill Clinton did to find out the Truth and to implement a safe and natural protocol to lose my excess weight naturally . And then to my amazement ,after some time mind you, all the chronic symptoms that I was experiencing just went away and never returned after losing half my body weight. I am not alone , and many people out there have went through the ordeal, and have experienced the same thing so its nothing new.But I wish more people would find the way to make the transition over like Bill Clinton did, and this is why I am writing this article I want to give you inspiration and encouragement.
If I can do it, and Bill can do it , and other people in the same situation can do it ,then you can do it as well.

Just one cup of fresh squeezed orange juice supplies more than 200 percent of your daily requirements of vitamin C. It is very important to freshly squeeze the oranges for the living enzymes and flavonoids that only you can get from fresh squeezed , over the carton of store bought boiled devitalized dead products that are passed off as real orange juice.

24 sprouted whole almonds ( Sprouted Almonds are high in protein,and rich in dietary fiber, and rich in mono-unsaturated fatty acids that support the good health of your heart. Almond Is rich in Vitamin E, and are non gluten that makes them perfect for people that have gluten intolerance or Celiac disease. Almonds are rich in the vitamin B-complex that work with enzymes and cofactors to assist in the metabolism of foods . Very rich in the minerals ,manganese,potassium,calcium,iron,magnesium,zinc and the trace mineral selenium.
Sprouting almond is nutritionally important because you release the enzyme inhibitors,and you increase the oil content , with increased omega fatty acids and the almond just tastes better like believe it or not like chocolate or a savory cross between chocolate and cinnamon.
Let them dry out first in a towel to absorb the moister, then on a plate to air dry. Store them in air tight glass jars in the refrigerator. They will keep for days this way up to a week. Make them in small batches for freshness.

Note that for all seeds its healthier to grind them first in a milling machine that comes with all good blenders. The whole seed for many people especially older people with less hydrochloric
stomach acids can pass many of the seeds undigested and therefore nutrients are unabsorbed by the body so its best to mill the seed first in quantities that you plan to use for the recipe. Also sprouting the seeds will take care of this problem of digestion and nutritional assimilation as well.

Black and White Sesame seeds are part of my main diet and are packed with nutrition. Notably Sesame is very high in the minerals Calcium and Magnesium that work together to help to build strong bones and to regulate the heart muscle. This food is also very high in vitamins B-15 and 17 as well. In my opinion sesame is one of the most neglected foods in western cuisine. The famous health food Humus uses a lot of white sesame paste called Tahini that was created originally from the middle east.
I consider Sesame Seed to be one of the Super Foods in my diet plan.
One teaspoon of White Sesame Seed:(Vitamins A,high in Thiamin B-1, riboflavin B-2, Niacin B-3 & B-6, has Vitamin E and is high in Folate. Minerals Calcium very high,has Copper and Iron,Magnesium is very high ,Manganese is very high and very high in Phosphorus, has Molybdenum,Potassium and also is a good source of the trace mineral,very high in Zinc and a good source for the trace mineral Selenium.)

The pollen originated in all the flowers and the honey bees cross pollinate each flower collecting the protein granules as food for the hives inhabitants.
Bee Pollen is reputed to be a Longevity Food, and this food is on my list as a Super Food in my diet plan. Bee Pollen has 22 amino acids at 40% Protein with complex carbohydrates ,and unsaturated fatty acids rounding out this mature made multivitamin. Bee Pollen contains the following Vitamins such as (A,the B complex, C,D and E. Rich in minerals including,Calcium,Phosphorus,Iron,Copper,Iodine,Zinc,Sulfur,Sodium,Chlorine,Magnesium,
Manganese,Molybdenum,Selenium,Boron,Silica,and Titanium. )

Just think about this for a second? What food do you know has all this natural nutrition from one source only like this? I have no need for man made synthetic supplements when nature provides whole food nutrition like this.The only word of caution is for any person that may be allergic to bee venom. In this case it is all ways wise to start off with just a little bit and to wait for any possible negative allergy. For myself I use bee pollen liberally in many of my foods with no problems what so ever. I store the pollen in glass jars in my freezer and this keeps for months just like saving seeds would. Today there is concern about some areas of the world experiencing bee colonies collapsing and it has gotten so serious that in certain parts of China the farmers pollinate their flowers by hand because there are no more bees to do the job. Even today many farmers in the USA must hire bee keepers to load their hives onto trucks to take the bees into the crop lands for pollination. With out Bees it is estimated that we would lose at least 60% of our food supply. A lot of finger pointing is going on, and many groups suspect that the over use of pesticides is killing off many of our honey bee populations.
I know for certain that if I used agricultural chemicals in my organic garden, my own honey bees would not stay around very long. This applies to butterfly’s, amphibians,reptiles,birds and earthworms as well.

One teaspoon of Bee pollen grains:(Natures Complete Vitamin & Mineral Supplement with more Enzymes than most any other food on Planet Earth.

Cinnamon is a very ancient spice collected from the cinnamon tree and is sold as powder and sticks that I use in many of my recipes. This is another very powerful super food in my good health regime and for good reason. Cinnamon is Natures preservative with anti microbial activity, that can keep foods longer in storage and it works great with raw honey ,not to mention the wonderful savory taste when the two are mixed together. Health benefits of cinnamon are many, such as the spices ability to help diabetics with normalizing blood sugar. Minerals include (Calcium , Iron and is very high in the trace mineral Manganese.) Manganese is a super antioxidant that helps to build strong bones,and is important for the function of our brain and our bodies nervous system.I enjoy cinnamon almost every day in my tea, smoothies,deserts, sprouted granola, and fruit salads . In the Bill Clinton Smoothie photo I show a naturally hollowed out useful cinnamon stir stick that can also be used for many liquid beverages as a natural straw.

One teaspoon of Cinnamon powder: ( 2nd highest ORAC value rated antioxidant)
5 capsules of Green Spirulina Powder (Complete protein high in chlorophyl , with vitamins and minerals
Resources: WHFoods Worlds Healthiest Foods www.buzzle.com/articles/bee-pollen-health-benefits.html

SPIRULINA powder is a must for any high plant protein formula. Hawaii and Thailand among other places around the world grow this blue green algae in remote areas of the country in a lake that has high alkalinity. All 8 essential amino acids are in Spirulina making it weight for weight higher in protein than meat and soya. The suns photosynthesis helps to give Spirulina its
rich blue green chlorophyl color,and has an abundance of bioavailable organic minerals that gets readily assimilated into the bodies cells. Rich in the vitamins , (B-6, Biotin,B-12 containing an amazing 250 percent more than beef liver,- the anti stress vitamin Pantothenic Acid, Folic Acid, that supports the formation of the red blood cells hemoglobin,Inositol,Niacin
Spirulina is rich in the minerals,Calcium,Phosphorus and Magnesium.)The mineral content is comparable to milk , but I wish to put to rest the one big difference between the two. For years we where to believe through payed advertizing campaigns from the Dairy industry that milk is High in calcium and therefore is good for bone health. But what they never told us is that Milk is very low or even non existent for the essential mineral Magnesium. Calcium by itself cannot be assimilated into the bones with out the mineral Magnesium ,they bind together in a synergy
effect to help build strong bones. In fact all Calcium supplements today are supported with the mineral Magnesium and the typical standard American diet is woefully deficient in the mineral Magnesium. The best sources for these 2 essential minerals is not from the supplement industry
that sells non-plant sources of inorganic mineral salts ,but instead your best source would be directly from the plant kingdom , as organic dark green vegetables would supply. All dark green leafy vegetables including all sea weeds are very high in the organic minerals calcium and magnesium that your body can use for strong bone health.
SPIRULINA is an ancient food and is the oldest recorded plant food source on Planet Earth.

SEA VEGETABLES ,OCEAN VEGETABLES OR SEA WEED is a Nutritional must for any diet and the health benefits are many.Personally I eat seaweeds of every kind almost every day because I know of the health benefits and what this incredible superfood can do for my body. It is amazing how sea weed can be used in so many different recipes and you don’t even know that it is there, like in my smoothies, puddings, dips, sauces,soups, and YES deserts as well. Sea weed has trace minerals that land based crops are lacking in so my recommendation to start with for any diet or health and fitness program is to include the nutritional powerhouse of Planet Earths gift from Nature to YOU and that would be SEAWEED.I will be honest about this to you.If I start listing all the health benefits and all the trace Vitamins and Minerals that I know of in seaweed then it would start reading like a long grocery list that would take up pages and pages of this writing and I wont do that. Instead I will forward wonderful and informative links to you about this most neglected and underrated SUPER FOOD called SeaWeed.

For a comprehensive breakdown on Seaweeds Nutritional Facts .

Note that the mineral Calcium to Magnesium ratio is about equal making seaweed an excellent choice for bone health and overall support for optimal vibrant health .Even though seaweed is relatively high in sodium it should not be a concern as we need sodium and iodine in our body for good health. Just replace your processed iodized table salt with more seaweed and you will be doing your body much good.
Did you know that organic farming practices routinely use seaweed to amend the top soil for the simple reason that the trace minerals are missing often in todays mono cropping agriculture.
We have many choices of seaweeds to chose from and I recommend eating all the varieties as much as you can. The different varieties of seaweeds are many but here is just a few edibles included such as , Nori,Bull Kelp,Macro Kelp Kombu,Dulse,Wakame,Arame,Sea Lettuce,Hijiki,Bladderwrack,and Alaria.
Seaweed has been eaten by cultures around the world for centuries,and I eat fresh seaweed from the Thai Sea Gypsy Village near our home n Phuket Thailand. For Bill Clintons Smoothie I used Nori Sheets of Seaweed.

Method to making the Bill Clinton Protein Powder:

First I want to point out that you can easily purchase all 8 raw ingredients off line from your neighborhood grocery store,health food store ,and Asian supply food stores in your area.
To make this powder I highly recommend purchasing a good quality glass blender that is equipped with a separate DRY MILL cup that fits on top of your blender unit.

Fit the cup on top of the unit then place the lid securely on top to cover the formula and turn on the blender until you see a fine powder that would not take very long , less than half a minute or a few seconds at best. Now you have your home made protein powder for the Bill Clinton Smoothie that can also be used in so many other recipes as well.
Store all your home made protein powders in a glass jar and place it in the freezer section to preserve all the essential oils.

Method for making the Bill Clinton Smoothie:

In your glass blender pour in one cup of Organic Brown Rice or almond milk.
On your chopping board place the 24 whole sprouted almonds . With the flat of your knife crush them and gather them together then slice and dice them all.
Add them to the rice milk.
Next place the 4 dates on the cutting board and dice them making sure all the pits are removed and discarded.
Add the dates to the rice milk.
Place the lid on top and turn on your blender and blend until smooth consistency then put aside.

Method for Bill’s home made protein powder:

Add your fine protein powder to your blender mix and blend or stir in.

Take one whole organic apple and slice it many times on your cutting board include the skins and seeds as well to your blender mix.
Cover the blender with the lid and turn it on until you have a smooth creamy mixture.
Pour into a glass cup and top it with a mixture of bee pollen ,raw honey and lemon juice to taste. Add your cinnamon stir stick to the smoothie.
