Oh yes. Some years ago I read that the more Omega 6 you eat, the more Omega 3

you need. I could not afford to supplement with Omega 3, so I decided to give

up as much Omega 6 as possible. I cannot escape some Omega 6 because I am forced

by economic necessity to eat as many meals as possible at the senior center and

they fry everything in Canola oil. Polyunsaturated oils are just pure Omega 6.

But I did give up salad dressing unless I knew it was made with pure olive oil

and as a consequence, my wet macular degeneration quit bleeding into my eyeballs

after about six months. I also ate sardines on weekends.

In Thailand, South Indian, and Sri Lanka, coconuts and their products (like oil)

are used daily and those folks are very thin and generally healthy.They also

traditionally eat sprouts.Â

A little coconut oil added to a sauce or dressing takes it to another level for

me. Happy Sunday!

Happy Sunday to you too. Last night I harvested the broccoli, fenugreek and

radish sprouts. Oh my god, they were THICK, and hearty. No wimpy sprouts at

all.

I love this.

Melody,

You are so generous with the information you sare. Thanks for all you contrbute

to this group (and it looks like this extends to seveal other groups as well).

Just a note, though: coconut oil is very stable. It can keep at room temperature

for a very long time. It is solid up to about 74 degrees. If you keep it in the

fridge, it will be as hard as a rock andyou will haveto chip it out of the jar.

Lol aternatively, put the jar in a bowl of hot water (not boilng hot, just what

you can get from your kitchen sink). After afew minutes, it will melt around

the sides and you can pour off what you need.

Coconut oil is wonderful stuff. It does nice things for my brain injured son's

short term memory. It is supposed to be one of the best oils for diabetics, too.

My favorite place to get really high quality coconut oil is:

http://www.tropicaltraditions.com They support small family operations, who

produce the oil in the traditional way. Get on their mailing list because they

have some great sales.

Hi ann:

How nice of you to say such kind things. I'll chip the coconut oil away if I

have to or put in warm water. So sorry to hear about your son. Glad the oil is

helping him. I'll be sure to check out the website you provided.

Have a nice day hon.

Melody,

You deserve it.

I leave my coconut oil in the cupboard. It is solid most of the time until

summer. It will not go rancid. This I'd an oil that people in the tropics (where

it can get pretty warm) have used since long before refrigeration.

That site has sme really good info on all this.

oil I intend to order for my Grey and Senegal parrots. I am not sure that the

brand I am currently giving them is West African, so this is a great find for

me.Than

Your postings are coming out twice in the message board. I got 2 email

notifications. Maybe it's just at my end. I have no idea. It's not important.

Just wanted to let you know. Is it coming out two times when YOU view the

message board??

Oh, about the coconut oil being left out at room temp, here's a quick question.

Being that I have it in the refrigerator right now, can I take it out and store

it on my shelf. One bottle has never been opened and the other has been opened.

Thanks much

Melody

P.S. Have you ever heard of ghee? My friend uses this instead of oil.

Hi Melody,I just harvested our fenugreek, mung bean, radish, and broccoli

sprouts :)Am looking forward to having some with my freshly made essene bread

(sprouted wheatberries ground with a little agave and salt and water then

dehydrated). I also made some raw pumpkin seed butter and an almond garlic

pate. I am looking forward to lunch!I got the recipes from Mike Synder's Raw

Food Recipes book (in the Everything book series). He has quite a few sprout

recipes and at the moment it is my new favorite book to cook/prepare food from.

Nice guy too-I bought a sauerkraut maker from him and was amazed at how helpful

and sharing of his knowledge he is.More and more i am seeing sprouts hitting the

mainstream. I spent about 2 hours in the local Borders bookstore last night (I

have a VERY patient husband) perusing the cooking section. Lots of healthy

cooking and living food books and many have something on sprouts.

nstaying home today to clean house and

prepare food--bliss!

Melody,

I am not even seeing my posts, except for the notification that they were sent

It should be fine for you to take those out and store them at room temp.

n.

Since I stopped using the Mason Jars for sprouting and I only use the Sprout

Garden green trays, it has made my life SO much easier. I used to only make my

salads with my sprouts. I have been adding some organic spring mix and it kicks

it up a notch. I just love the various colors in the salads.

I have a question about using other sprouts to make my birds nest patties. Now I

have only used bean sprouts to make them. I wonder. If I added some of my

fenugreek, radish and broccoli sprout mixture TO THE BEAN SPROUT mixture, and

added the rest of the ingredients like the panko crumbs, the egg, and various

seasonings, and then make the patty (I call them patties but they are just

clumps of sprouts), and then I fry them and turn them over, well, my question is

" can we cook our sprouts and would doing this take any of the nutrition out of

them? I have never done this.

I have only used my sprout mixture in the raw state. Because they are alive,

having living enzymes, etc. etc.

I was wondering if I could add them to the bean sprouts and get a whole new

birds next experience? Or would that be dumb because it would kill the

nutrition?

Thanks much

Melody
