CHAPTER 8 Preserving Raw Foods with Natural Probiotics Your Goal: To learn about why fermented foods promote excellent gastrointestinal health and begin making and eating them. What You’ll Need: You will need wide-mouth quart or pint jars as well as a wooden pounder for making sauerkraut, and quart or half-gallon jars for making yogurt/kefir. You may wish to purchase kefir grains to make kefir or culture starter to make yogurt and/or fermented vegetables. Find a source under those topics on GreenSmoothieGirl.com under “Robyn Recommends.” When I took the step of making and eating fermented foods, my family and I completely stopped getting sick. Where I used to get sick 10 times every winter throughout my childhood, college, and well into my 20s, I now go year after year after year not getting sick at all. The importance of this step cannot be overstated, especially in a world where harmful viral and bacterial organisms are becoming “superbugs” and antibiotics are no longer the savior they once were. If I had to pick the two most important steps in this course, it would be Step 1 (green smoothies) and this one. Why is this Step 8, then, rather than Step 2? Because it's very unfamiliar to most people. If you are ready for it, you are an advanced thinker and you are a truth seeker willing to do what most in the mainstream won’t. My observation is that even if their lives are at risk, most people will not change their diet. Not that this step is difficult. It’s amazingly easy. But I say that to congratulate you. These are easy, but advanced-thinking, habits. © Copyright Robyn Openshaw 12 Steps to Whole Foods 223
