Re: Inhibiting raw meat spoilage ???

[Guest guest]

Raw milk, kefir, EM. I have used EM quite often to do so, still have to try out

using milk. I hear it works very well.

Hi All,

Anyone know the best culture(s) to use

to inhibit raw meat spoilage...

say for the length of a day or so without

refrigeration or salting ?

thx,

Let the meat soak in kefir, strong kombucha, or fermented whey?

Or maybe in any of the organic acids while maintaining a minimum

of 5% acidity.

Either the Weston A Price Foundation or the Price-Pottenger

Foundation, I don't remember which, recommended sterilization

of meat by several methods such as:

- Treating the meat in a bleach water solution. (yuk!)

- Dipping the meat in lightly boiling water for 10-20 seconds.

- Covering the meat with a solution containing grapefruit seed

extract.

Rubbing the meat with an antimicrobial essentil oil such as

greek oregano oil might work, but I've never tried it.

Some of these are good ideas, but I wouldn't try the essential oil. Internally

or even externally, essential oils destroy not only bad bacteria, but good

bacteria in the body as well. Ingesting the meat with the essential oil rubbed

into it, would not be very healthy. I was very heavily into essential oils for

years, but over time realized from personal experience, and a lot of reading,

that they are not good...especially in food use. One thing they tend to do, is

really damage the liver. Grapefruit extract is pretty hardcore too, and it

really taste nasty! When I first tried raw meat, I bought into treating it with

grapefruit seed extract first....yuck! It was really nasty tasting.

Bleach...that one is a trip! Never heard that before!

Hmm,

Food grade hydrogen peroxide might be a good one?? Not sure about that one.

Liquor or wine can be pretty effective.

Apple cider vinegar has more acetic acid (anti-microbial) than kombucha and is

probably more effective. Unpasturised is best.

Kefir is very good against pathogens too of course..
