Guest guest Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 You can brine them for the winter as well - it increases some vitamins when you do that - like C. The traditional method of making sauerkraut is to shred the cabbage, sprinkle it with salt then wait for it to draw out the juices. Sometimes cabbage is dryer and brine needs to be added, and it's hard to know the amount of salt to use. I use the method from making kimchi - that is, make a brine that has 1 tablespoon salt per cup of water, let the salt draw out the juices some (so it's easier to pack into jars) then pack the cabbage (and other vegetables if you like - shredded carrots, sliced onions, garlic, hot peppers, radish, sprouts) into jars and wait at least 10 days. For some reason it sours faster that way, too. I just read directions to brine grape leaves to use making dolmades - you wash, cut off the stems, roll them into cigarette-type rolls, then pack them into a jar that has been filled 1/3 with brine, add more brine to top off and leave for 2 months for the flavor to develop. Later unroll them, stuff with rice, nuts, dried fruit, meat; roll/fold them into packages and simmer them in wine - delicious! > >> > A laxative dose is enough that it exceeds the amount that will be > >> > absorbed. > >> > > >> So magnesium citrate laxative effect is simply dosage > >> related...........hmm, for curiosity, I'll check the mg per dose on > >> those bottles of the citrate laxative next time I'm at the store..... > >> I keep turning up with " symptoms " of magnesium deficiency, though my > >> blood work says its fine, but I just can't take any > >> orally.............then again, I've also read that in itself means > >> deficiency........ > >> Interesting about the horses, and magnesium, I have symptoms of insulin > >> resistance, and am still hypothyroid, though working on that. > >> sol > >> > I have heard that Mag Oxide is the best form for absorption, at least > >> > in horses.
