Re: additives and their benefits?

I think you want "nutritional yeast": http://invitationfrom-gnewvegan.blogspot.com/2008/01/nutritional-yeast-flakes-vs-brewers.html (be aware that the author doesn't know the difference between "its" and "it's"). I used to use a lot more of it when I was trying to be vegan (I accepted my ovo-lacto status years ago) but I still keep it on hand and especially like it sprinkled on popcorn. DON'T use it in anything sweet--it's nice as a savory but quite repulsive otherwise.

additives and their benefits?

As I get more comfortable with the vitamix- I want to "do more." I am curious about learning how to incorporate simple additives like seeds, nutritional yeast, bee pollen, etc.. to boost up nutrition! maybe someone with more knowledge can start a file with all the benefits of the additives. For example- I did not know that something as simple as sesame seeds were packed with nutrients. I saw them at the produce market I go to and was curious, came home and googled and wow- gotta get some next time! I currently use flaxseed in almost anything I can- but thats about it. I know brewers yeast is good but I don't know how to use it...

[Guest guest]

A common "side effect" of the Vitamix seems to be when you learn that there is a whole new world of nutritional goodies out there that most people have never heard of! The fun side of that is, that it often leads to other things, such as sprouting (my favorite hobby) gardening, and other cool things. I thought "chia" seeds were for chia pets. Who knew they were PACKED with nutrition, can be used in all sorts of things, and work wonders to thicken a smoothie in the Vitamix? I highly recommend that you experiment with various seeds, sprouts and other goodies. I have at least three trays of sprouts or micro greens on the go at any given time, and love to add them to smoothies. Seeds are great ground, or sprouted. Try some fenungreek seed-it is what curry powder is made with. Simple seed to sprout, nice additive to

soups and sauces. (Don't be surprised if you catch the "sprouting bug"!! Fun, inexpensive hobby! As for yeast, I suggest exploring nutritional yeast as opposed to brewer's yeast, which is a by product of the beer industry. Nutritional yeast makes a lovely dairy free "cheese" sauce, and blends up beautifully in the VM.From: Nadine <ncruzsaubert@...>Subject: additives and their benefits?

Funny. I had a sudden urge to start a container herb garden. I have an empty

florida room in need of life! I was gonna start with parsley basil cilantro. I

think I can grow them in the same container? Yes a vitamix side effect for

sure!

Hi-- I was already a healthfood junkie before getting my Vita-mix but it really

amped up that part of my life. I love it! I recommend it to everyone for

improving their overall healthy...

As for nutritional yeast, another yummy sauce is to simply add nutritional yeast

to hummus (homemade or store-bought). I read about it on a blog and she calls it

'Hum-nut' sauce. I add the yeast to hummus and then I thin it with water and use

it as a sauce on stir-frys, etc. My kids love nutritional yeast and they love

hummus---it's the best of both worlds! :-) -amber

Just started using chia seeds myself.

Usually 2 TBS when I remember to use them.

They don't go bad like flax seeds.

There's a small chain here called the Hummus Place and I don't know how they do it but they transform hummus into something sublime. You can get it plain (and cold) or WARM (who'da thunk it?) dressed with...well, here's the menu: http://www.hummusplace.com/?categoryId=45476. Absolutely wonderful and there are times I find myself jonesing for the mushroom option. Zabar's here packs their own which is nice and fresh and authentic (in fact, they do it two ways) but I can't make myself buy it anymore...it's gotta be from "the Place." Oh, and they bake their own pitta--very thick and fluffy, even the whole wheat.

Everyone has their own favorite. I have started adding dill weed to my hummus

and love it that way.

Well, it's not what it was (thanks, Mike Bloomberg) but it's still quite an experience and is worth visiting. However, I have an ultra-rich buddy who tells me that the best food he has ever had was in Australia (and being ish, he was also impressed by the low prices) so I'm guessing you're not seriously deprived of good food.

I recall a few years ago Tony Bourdain saying the same thing, that the best restaurants in the world were in Australia. Of course that changes all the time.Sent from my iPadOn Feb 17, 2011, at 10:25 PM, <kareningotham@...> wrote:

I realize that and everyone's free to do their own thing (heaven knows I tweak almost every recipe that comes my way). However, I'm a traditionalist about certain things and, especially having been married into an Israeli family, I take Middle Eastern food seriously. I don't like and won't consider hummus spiced with anything other than garlic, lemon, and some paprika and the only commercial stuff I'll buy is the kind that's made on the vendor's premises. I don't even have a desire to make my own, despite the fact that it's easy in theory. It's one dish I'm kinda weird about.

The shakshuka's nice, too. I haven't been in a while but they used to serve this really good Israeli non-alcoholic malt beverage (kinda like Malta for those who know what that is); an Israeli friend made it a point to tell me that Romanian construction workers in Israel drink a lot of it. Oh, well--I guess I have lowbrow taste.

Maybe we will make it over there one day! There are a lot of other places I would like to see in the US, so maybe I should add it to the list. Las Vegas is definitely not on the list though.
