Tips and Tricks

Making Nut Cream - Milk - Meal – Flour One of the cool things about preparing food RAW is how little waste there is.. Literally everything can be used… In the case of nut products here is the breakdown and why Cashew crème – when making crème the ratio of water to nuts is 1 to 1 (Use for sauces and Ice cream) High Fat Cashew milk the ratio of water to nuts is 1 to 2 (use for cereal and drinking) Like 2% milk Nut flour.. the nuts are soaked and ground to a fine powder – they contain the nutrients, fiber and fat of a whole nut.. This is going to be calorie rich Nut Meal – this is the dried pulp from making nut milk. This is basically fiber.. You can use it as filler .. It will not have very many if any calories and very little flavor. A good way to get bulk without calories. To make the milk: In a high-speed blender, combine the nuts and water and blend until creamy.Strain into a nut milk bag and squeeze the mixture out or… Line a large sieve with a double thickness of cheesecloth and place over a bowl. Pour the nut mixture into the sieve and let drain, then grab the corners of the cheesecloth, hold together securely, and squeeze the cheesecloth to extract all of the milk. Reserve the pulp in the sieve for making the meal. Transfer the milk to a covered container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Instructions to Prepare Irish Moss Paste Things You'll Need

• Irish moss • Alkaline water • Jar with lid • Blender

o 1

Rinse Irish moss three or four times, then place in any container. Let the moss soak in water at least 24 hours in the refrigerator. Because of the abundant cell wall polysaccharides, it will form a jelly and expand to double its weight and size.

o 2 Change the water twice and rinse a final time. Make sure there are no impurities in your moss. Irish moss is a naturally-occurring product, so you may find sand or small stones. When it turns a creamy white color, the moss is ready. Don't worry if you smell a little of the seaweed odor, you won't taste a thing.

o 3 Blend the Irish moss and water together in a blender until it is creamy, forming a paste. Make sure there are no lumps.

o 4 Store this paste in a closed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.

o 5 Use your Irish moss paste in sweet desserts, ice-creams, parfaits, mousse and pies for a healthy alternative to processed foods.

Irish moss is an additive used in a raw food diet in order to create a gelatinous texture. It is utilized primarily in vegan desserts. Not only will Irish moss make any liquid thicker, it also has many health benefits. The key ingredient in Irish moss is carrageen, a dark purple seaweed found off the Atlantic coasts of Europe and North America. Carrageen is used in the mainstream food world as a thickening agent. According to Alex Malinsky, award winning chef and one of the leading experts in the field of raw food, Irish moss contains vitamins A, C, D, E and K, vitamins B1 and B2, and is a source of B12. It contains many elements essential to the human body. Irish moss contains a high content of iodine, calcium, manganese, zinc, bromine, iron and protein, and contains significant amounts of calcium and magnesium.

Organic Dates Alkaline Water

Date syrup – a nice raw whole-food alternative to agave syrup. In my opinion, high-quality organic dates (such as organic sun-dried Medjools or Hunzas) are a quality sweetener – they are extremely versatile and a whole-food (extremely important!).
