Re: cabbage rejuvelac recipe

Dear , Here you go.

Cabbage Rejuvelac, From: The Colon Health Handbook by Dr. Gray

Cabbage is a vegetable that is teeming with lactobacteria. No

starter is needed for making rejuvelac.

- Just start one morning by blending together 1-3/4 cups distilled or

purified water plus 3 cups coarsely chopped, loosely packed fresh

cabbage. Start the blender at low speed and then advance the blander

to high speed and blend for 30 more seconds.

- Pour into a jar, cover, and let stand at room temperature for 3

days.

- After 3 days strain off the liquid rejuvelac. The initial batch of

cabbage rejuvelac takes 3 days to mature, but succeeding batches take

24 hours each.

- Each morning after straining off the fresh rejuvelac, blend

together for 30 seconds at high speed 1-1/2 cupes distilled or

purified water plus 3 cups coarsely ground, loosely packed fresh

cabbage.

- Pour into a jar, add 1/4 cup of the fresh rejuvelac just strained

off, cover, shake, and let stand at room temperature until the next

morning.

- You can also make cabbage rejuvelac without a blender by chopping

the cabbage very fine and using 2-1/2 cups replacing the 3 cups in

the recipe above with the same amount of water.

- Good quality rejuvelac tastes similar to a cross between carbonated

water and the whey obtained when making yogurt. Bad quality

rejuvelac has a much more putrid odor and taste and should not be

consumed. Avoid using tape water because chlorine will interfere

with bacteria production. Boiling tap water for 30 minutes uncovered

will remove chlorine.

- Refrigerate rejuvelac if it is to be kept overnight. Discard any

rejuvelac on hand 24 hours after it is poured off the cabbage.

TAKING REJUVELAC: Drink each day's rejuvelac during the course of

the day by taking 1/2 cup three times per day, preferably with meals.

- To implant a healthy population of lactobacteria in the intestinal

tract take rejuvelac for 1 to 3 months. The value of rejuvelac

should not be confused with that of freeze-dried acidophilus.

Rejuvelac contains live lactobacteria but freeze dried lactobacteria

die in a few weeks' time.

Take good care.
