I have organic millet and couscous but they are expired.

June 11, 2011

Hi All

I was given a container each of Organic Millet and Organic Couscous. Never

opened. I just looked at the expiration date. One expired in 2009 and the other

expired in Aug of 2010.

One is a plastic sealed container and the other (the millet) is by Arrowhead

Mills and is in a regular plastic bag which has never been opened.

Since these items are WAY past the expiration date, would any of you take a

chance and use them?

Thanks much.

As long as they're not buggy and don't have a rancid smell, I would at least try

one serving.

If you think I'm going to open up a container that MIGHT have something crawling

inside, then you don't know me.

They are old, they are expired, they will have to go.

LOL

And as I have decided not to cook into September, well this might be

interesting.

One thing I do have to make are my greens. Gotta have my bok choi, my kale, my

other greens, sauteed in garlic. I mean, I HAVE TO HAVE MY GREENS.

Love them.

More than likely you would see evidence before opening the bags. Bugs

themselves, droppings or bug dust/dander, or spider web looking things.

I personally would NOT use them-not only is there a chance of rancidity, but

also vermin-grains often house them. Not worth it-old grain is nasty, and can

harbor mold. Bin them and buy some fresh. I store all of my grains in the

freezer-makes them last forever, but I wouldn't use expired grain that wasn't

frozen. Keep in mind that grain is often stored for ages before it is even

packaged, so it is way past its prime.

Me too, Melody! But I have to have mine juiced. Since I've been juicing them

instead of doing green smoothies, I find I almost crave the juice. I have an 8

oz glass of green juice nearly every day and I really love it. Usually whatever

I have on hand (of course), but always try to have kale,

collards/dandelion/lamb's quarters/chard or spinach, baby bok choy or romaine,

cucumber, celery, gingerroot, lemon or lime, and sprouts. Then I add a

teaspoonful of Sea Clear, which is fermented kelp and chlorella in a miso base,

and top it off with dulse.

It is so yummy!! The Sea Clear really gives it a lovely flavor. You can get it

at www.rawfoodworld.com and probably many other places as well.

Peggy

Oh...BTW...I planted lemon cucumber heirloom seeds in my 3-pod Aerogarden about

3 days ago, and it is already almost 1/2 " high! I couldn't believe it. I just

planted one pod with the cucumber - the other two are organic stevia. Those

haven't come up yet, but their seeds are SO tiny! I hope they grow. I'll be

transplanting the cucumber as soon as I get my grow boxes prepared.

June 11, 2011

Melody

Have you tried raw kale salad? It is my favorite dish.

Just wash the greens, trim off stems, chop into pieces, toss with a little salt,

lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic.

So good for you. You can top it with sprouts

Hi Peggy,

What kind of juicer do you use for your greens? It is hard to decide which kind

to buy, there are so many.

Thank you,

Hi ,

Â

Due to budget restraints, I went with theÂ manual Healthy Juicer. You can see it

on Amazon or on the Sprout People site. It's not the fanciest, but it suits me

fine. And the price was right, especially compared to what you can pay for other

types of juicers. This was only $49.00! If you look at the reveiws on Amazon,

don't pay any attention to the " nays " - it works fine and is easy to put

together, take apart, and clean, and it is sturdy. Using a little common sense

helps! (e.g., if it becomes very difficult to turn the handle, just turn it the

other direction for a few turns and it will clear any jams. Don't just try to

power through!)

Â

For my 8 oz of juice, I use (approx.) 5-6 leaves of kale/chard/collards, etc.,

1/2 cucumber, 2-3 stalks celery, a handful of sprouts, handful of baby spinach

or 2-3 heads baby bok choy, small slice gingerroot, and 1/2 lemon or lime. I

feel that is good return on the veggies. If I had more available funds, I might

go with the electric version of this one, but really, this one is fine and you

don't get any heat, so no enzymes are destroyed. Lately I've begun to put a

nut-milk bag over the waste spout and then squeeze the bag for a little more

juice, but that's only a tablespoonful or a bit more.

Â

For the money, I don't think you can beat this. Plus, it's a great introduction

to juicing and you can always trade up if you feel the need.

Â

HTH!

Peggy

Â

I haven't used it for fruit, but I'm sure it would work splendidly for that. I

can do carrots or the harder veggies, but they must be cut into small slices or

sticks. I really only want it for my greens.

The only manual juicer I could find for. $49 on Amazon was an OJ extractlor.

Was that what you got? I have a commercial citrus press which is WONDERFUL

Thanks for doing that, Melody. I replied the same to her, but with slightly

different directions before I saw your post. Same thing happened with the

100-year old egg - I replied before seeing EW's post about them. People must

wonder if I'm deliberately parroting their posts! I can assure you all, that's

not the case. But it generally shows that great minds think alike, eh?

Thanks Peggy,

That helps a lot, and I feel foolish that I had forgotten my old manual Health

Fountain juicer purchased for juicing wheat grass over 30 years ago. I will

attempt to use it for leafy greens as well. I have a Champion (also over thirty)

that still works well for the big stuff inc. raw nut butters. Anyway, you

probably just saved me an unnecessary expenditure.

Thanks again,

Oh good, !! It's always good to save money. And I had forgotton to

mention that the Healthy Juicer is touted for wheatgrass - I do that, too, when

I have it on hand. I'm going to try growing my own one of these days, but right

now I'm focusing on getting my heirloom seeds in the grow boxes. I'm so excited

about my heirloom organic lemon cucumber coming up in the Aerogarden in 3 days!!

Today is day 4 and it's already an inch tall. I am so stoked.

Â

Good luck with your older juicer and doing the greens. At least now you know

where to go if your old one doesn't do the trick. But I feel pretty sure it

will, and you'll be so happy!

Take care,

Peggy
