Video: Can A Whole Food Plant Based Diet Prevent Cancer, Alzheimers, Multiple Sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s?

Dear brothers and sisters,

Here is a discussion whose time has come. There is no question that America has got to awaken to living, vital foods; the epidemics of cancer, cardiovascular, diabetes necessitate it. There can be no sadder commentary on what we have come to than that nearly 40% of our fellow Americans are obese.

This is all the more poignant as deaths from alcohol, suicide and drugs are at an all time high.

I urge you to follow the sparkling flow in this outstanding video.

Please accept our best wishes for you and family to prosper in good health,

Recipe: Gluten Free Bread

by Plant Based Cooking Show

I can’t wait for you to try this Plant Based Gluten Free, salt, oil and refined sugar free Bread! It is great for sandwiches and even better as toast. Trying to find gluten free bread in the grocery store that is also Vegan and tastes good is almost impossible. I have finally perfected this recipe and have been making it for my family for quite a while now. They all love it and I find that I am making about a loaf every other day!

Ingredients

1/2 cup buckwheat
1/2 cup quinoa
1 1/2 cups Gluten Free Oats
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup psyllium husk
1 tsp aluminum free baking powder
1/2 tsp aluminum free baking soda
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 1/2 cups water

New! Items For March

Black Beans – Organic

Our Local Organic Black Beans are grown by an Elmira farmer and inventor. Although he prefers his privacy and is publicity-shy, his thoughts and discoveries can be accessed online, where he openly shares Appropriate Technology for Small and Subsistence Farms at http://www.efn.org/~itech/.

The website states that his designs are public domain, a gift to humanity, and encompass a wide spectrum of topics, from how to grow organic black beans in the valley, to solutions for weed control and pests, to instructions on how to build a wood dryer, grain huller, grain thresher, and winnower. He has been growing black beans for Hummingbird for so many years, we’ve lost count!

“Whitman” Hazelnut Almond Chocolate Butter – Alive & Organic

Created from almonds grown by California family farmers and hazelnuts grown by Oregon family farmers.
We’ve named it after Walt Whitman who wrote,
I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,
Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong,
The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,
The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work,
The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck,
The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands,
The wood-cutter’s song, the ploughboy’s on his way in the morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown,
The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of the girl sewing or washing,
Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else,
The day what belongs to the day—at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,
Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.

We make our Hazelnut Almond Chocolate Butter in Berkeley; one of the great centers of learning. Twenty-five Nobel prize winners have taught here.

Coconut Flour – Alive & Organic

Coconut flour is a delicious, gluten-free and beneficial alternative to other flours.

It is high in fiber, protein and healthy fats and free from wheat and other grains. It is also low in sugar, digestible carbohydrates and calories. Plus, this flour has a low score on the glycemic index.

This makes it a favorite among Paleo dieters, gluten-free eaters — including those with celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity — those with digestive problems, anyone with a nut allergy, those with diabetes, vegetarians and just about everyone else in between.

In reality, coconut flour is not actually “flour” in the way we normally think of it. It contains zero grains and consists of 100 percent pure coconut meat.

John Muir Almond Butter Bytes – Alive & Organic

Created from almonds grown in California’s great Central Valley by the Koretoff family. They’ve been farming in California for five generations. Each byte is wrapped in gold foil to denote the intentionality they devote to growing the almonds. They are the true husbandmen of their soil and trees.

We make our bytes in Berkeley; a great center of learning. Twenty-five Nobel prize winners have taught there.

Black Sesame Seed Flour – Alive & Organic

According to Dr. Rupali Dutta, Chief Nutritionist, SmartCooky, “Black sesame seeds are a good source of energy due to the high fat content. They contain healthy fats like polyunsaturated fatty acids and Omega-6. They also contain fiber, iron, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus.”

We created a black sesame flour that makes them all the more useful.

Think of it as a doorway to creativity. What casseroles, pies and desserts you will make!

Almond Cashew Brazil Nut Millennial Butter – Alive & Organic

Dedicated to Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, the creative geniuses who have done so much to shape the modern epoch.
Starting with almonds grown by California family farmers, we’ve added Brazil Nuts.
Dr.Mercola tells us,”Brazil Nuts are an important source of selenium.Selenium is a trace element a Swedish chemist, Baron Jöns Jacob Berzelius, discovered almost 200 years ago. Today, modern scientists recognize it as “an essential mineral of pivotal importance for human health,” with anti-inflammatory, antiviral and anti-cancer potential. This mineral is also a powerful antioxidant, which plays itself out in many ways in regard to your health.”

We’ve added cashews for smoothness and spreadability along with California sundried raisins, honey for delight and a pinch of Royal Himalayan Pink Crystal Salt to bring out the flavors.

Walnuts (Halves & Pieces) – Alive & Organic California Grown – New Crop!

We are delighted to bring you the new crop of walnuts grown in the wondrous fertile, alluvial soil of California’s great Central Valley. California walnuts are simply the best! Ours come in halves and pieces for you to enjoy.

Enjoy our New Crop of Walnuts in our Walnut Butter, Oil and Flour!

Pecan Butter – Alive & Organic – New Crop

Our pecans are grown on a family farm in Texas and blended with a little Pink Himalayan Salt. Try our Organic Pecan Butter straight on fresh crunchy vegetables. It’s also delicious mixed with your favorite soup or finely shredded cabbage, zucchini and carrots. Use one tablespoon per serving.

Pecans – Alive & Organic – New Crop!

These beautiful pecan halves are fresh and sweet.The pecan originated here and was the food of Native Americans for millenia. Grown by family farmers in Texas.

One of the most nutritious of nuts, Pecans are loaded with heart-healthy unsaturated fats. Oh the pecan pies you will make!

Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas) – Alive & Organic

Our Organic Garbanzo Beans are grown on a farm that has been in their family for over a century now, in Merrill, Oregon. The family specializes in a diverse crop base on over 2,000 acres of Certified Organic land.

Our Organic Garbanzo Beans are plump, creamy and delicious. An excellent source of protein and fiber, garbanzos supply roughly 27 percent of daily protein and 50 percent of our fiber requirements in one cup. They are especially high in folate, manganese and iron, which are important components in the body’s anti-oxidant activity.

We Welcome Investors

Demand for organic food is booming. Last year sales of organic products jumped 11% to more than $39 billion. Also, the number of US organic farmers and processors has grown by 250% since 2002, when the natural organic program began. Indeed, organic food production has more than tripled since that time.

Thanks to your kind support, we too are growing. We wish to hire more teamworkers and to purchase tools and equipment. We are seeking long term, stable capital. If taking a strategic position in the organic food industry appeals to you, let’s talk!
