Main Plate
Pre-soaked Whole Grains and Beans
Why Soak:
Soaking improves flavors and textures, shortens the cooking time, and aids in digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Soaking them beforehand stimulates the sprouting process which allows several important chemical reactions to occur. This makes it easier for the digestive system to handle and also allows you to receive much more nutritional benefit.

Fermented & Pickled Foods

Fermented and pickled foods are alive with beneficial bacterial colonies that enrich and strengthen our digestive tracts, killing off pathogenic strains and establishing a healthy pH balance.
