The Health Benefits Of Quinoa Over 5,000 years ago, high in the Andes mountains, the Incas began to cultivate quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) as one of their staple crops, believing that it gave power and stamina to their warriors. Quinoa was also used in their ceremonial rituals. When Spanish conquistadors arrived in South America in the sixteenth century, they burned and destroyed the quinoa fields as part of the effort to annihilate Inca culture. But quinoa survived by growing wild in the mountains or by being cultivated in secret in small quantities. Although it is cooked and eaten like a grain, quinoa is technically a seed, and is related to spinach, chard and beets. Quinoa is a complete protein, which means that it contains all the amino acids necessary for our nutritional needs. Quinoa is naturally gluten-free, making it an excellent food for celiac patients or other people following a gluten-free diet.

Survival Food Doesn't Come Out of a Can By Sandra Weaver Survival food is a pure unadulterated gift from Mother Nature. Storing food on mass is not the answer to surviving the great changes accelerating now and in the near future. If someone is not meant to continue on the Earth plane it won’t matter how much food they store. So why talk about survival food at all? We all live in a nutritional catastrophe, even in America because of mineral depletion from our soils. These survival foods will be even more important if there is a disruption in the food supply for reasons ranging from extended power outages to massive transportation stoppages due to peak oil, which are all very real possibilities. Yes, survival food will be crucial if we go through the earth changes predicted by the Maya for around 2012. Survival foods have to be nutrient dense, highly digestible, mineral rich, store easily, and be relatively inexpensive. They should not require refrigeration, should be lightweight and readily available. Conclusion: Home Page

Garlicky Greens Recipe Do you remember Nikki's sweet potato recipe from a couple weeks back? She recommended serving her sweet potatoes alongside lots of lots of garlicky, sauteed greens. I realized at the moment I went to publish her recipe that I've never posted a simple, tasty, everyday sauteed greens recipe here. I'm not exactly sure how this omission happened, but it did. I use greens quick-cooked like this in dozens of ways. If you are using spinach ignore the stem instructions below. 1 large bunch of kale, chard 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil fine grain sea salt 5 cloves of garlic, crushed and chopped 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (opt) crushed red pepper flakes To de-stem each leaf of chard/kale, grab the main stalk in one hand and strip the leaf from the stem all the way up with the other. Hold off cooking the greens until just before eating. Serves 2- 3. Print Recipe
