Дими́трий Jan 26

I've been home-brewing kombucha for a number of years now. I'm the only one in the household that regularly drinks the stuff, so I employ a 'continuous brew' method, whereby I take out a small amount at a time and replace the volume with new fresh tea.

Still, it tends to get a bit sour, so I would add a shot of Pimm’s No. 1, which resulted in a refreshing probiotic cocktail of the highest caliber.

When I gave up booze, I switched to Pathfinder Herb & Root, which is super tasty, but I found it hard to justify the price.

Lately, I've been cutting the booch with some coke zero. Which is actually really nice and is sufficiently reminiscent of the two previous cocktails.

Gut health is mental health, folks!

El Jardí de les Bruixes Nov 16

Saps els gossos, que sempre volen el plat de l'altre? Doncs sembla que els humans fem el mateix.
Ho fem amb les medicines, i ho fem amb els aliments.
Ara mateix hi ha un munt de gent fent Kimchi i kombutxa i koji, i molt poca fent olives.

I no tinc res en contra dels fermentats foranis, però aprendre coses noves, sense conservar els coneixements propis, ho trobo absurd.

No se m'acudeix un aliment més mediterrani que les olives. I a més, com a fermentat, són meravelloses.

A part de ser probiòtiques, les olives en sí són plenes de compostos benèfics, i a més s'adoben amb herbes medicinals, que alhora tenen molts compostos benèfics, que les olives atraparan de forma molt eficient, fent-los disponibles a la nostra digestió.
Perquè hi ha compostos liposolubles (solubles en oli) i hidrosolubles (solubles en aigua), i les olives contenen oli i aigua i per tant els poden extraure tots

I a més a més, són delicioses.
