Natural Toxins in Sprouted Seeds - International Specialty Supply. By Warren Peary and William Peavy, Ph.D.

Natural Toxins in Sprouted Seeds - International Specialty Supply

Natural toxins in food has become a hot and controversial subject recently. In the last few years, some popular writers have attacked sprouts (particularly alfalfa and legume sprouts) as containing natural toxins. These writers may have heard something about a lathyrogen toxin, saponins, canavanine, and maybe other nasty-sounding toxins, and concluded that the sprouts of legumes are toxic in the raw state and so should not be eaten. These statements are taken out of context. One of the natural toxins that has been mentioned comes from peas of the genus Lathyrus. Non-edible peas of the genus Lathyrus include sweet peas, which are ornamentals grown for their scented flowers.

Outbreaks of lathyrism in India have been blamed on eating large amounts of the non-edible chickpea without proper cooking. There are at least 1,500 species of legumes within one of three subfamilies of the family Leguminosae (Latin for legume). Part II. MUSHROOM CULTIVATION BY PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES - A guide.

It is made from fermenting a mixture of mashed soybeans, salt, and enzymes. It is also made artificially through a chemical process known as acid hydrolysis. History The prehistoric people of Asia preserved meat and fish by packing them in salt. Soy Cultures. Preparation and first fermentation. For the preparation of the soy sauce I used several sources, including the recipes the came with the soy cultures I ordered from Gemcultures.

Preparation and first fermentation

As I want to find a recipe for a good soy sauce, I included many different variations in this first try. Chinese soy sauce is made by fermentation of mostly soy beans, while for Japanese soy sauce equal amount of soy and wheat is used. For extra flavour, the wheat is sometimes roasted as well. I therefore roasted a part of the soy beans in a coffee bean roaster to 190C for several minutes. Tempeh.
