In the Kitchen

The ultimate home fermentation aid is the Harsch Ceramic Crock! Make fabulous sauerkraut for pennies a pint! The exclusive Harsch water seal allows natural fermentation gases to escape, while not permitting outside air to re-enter the crock. This allows for clean and efficient fermentation and eliminates the yeast buildup in both short and long fermentations which can occur in the mason jar method.

Longer fermentations produce incredible, rich flavors and more complete fermentation.

Please note: Crocks are heavy to ship and therefore a shipping surcharge of $29.00 is assessed to the 5 and 7.5 liter sizes and $39.00 to the 15 liter size.

Raw sauerkraut can cost over $7.50 a pint in health food stores! Make your own for less than $20 for two gallons! You save 84%! If your served your family just 8 oz. per day of raw sauerkraut, you would spend around $1370 a year buying it from the store, or just $370 to make it yourself - and that includes the price of the crock! That's a savings of $1000! This is truly an investment that pays for itself!

The Harsch Crock's 2-gallon capacity (7.5L size) allows you to make enough sauerkraut for months at a time, saving you time! Now kraut-making can be a fun seasonal ritual rather than a weekly routine!

Tip: To shred cabbage quickly and easily, use the Family Grain Mill Veggie Slicer.

Making Sauerkraut and Pickled Vegetables is a great little book written specifically for this crock, with pictures, instructions, recipes, and fascinating history.

You want to dehydrate summer's abundance as part of a healthy lifestyle; however nearly all dehydrators are made out of plastic. We looked for years to find a safer alternative, and finally succeeded!

Our stainless steel dehydrators are proudly built here in the USA out of rugged high grade stainless steel, with stainless steel shelves (not chrome or teflon) to ensure high quality dehydrated foods.

Fan/heater blows horizontally for even drying. Both models comes with a timer. Enjoy the fruits of summer all year long!

Item # 05605 and 05606 measure 16 1/4"L x 14 1/2"W. The lip around the edge is 1/2" deep for the regular tray and 3/8" deep for the perforated tray with perforations 3/8" in diameter. Both trays fit either the 5 or 10 tray model. Both trays make excellent additions to your dehydrator.

Item # 05607 also fits both the 5 and 10 tray models. It is very convenient when drying items that are too small to sit on dehydrator shelves such as nuts and berries. The dimensions are 16 1/4"L x 14 1/2"W.

NOTE: These products are drop-shipped directly from the manufacturer and may take up to 2 business days to process the order. Thank you!

Additional note: Dehydrators are heavy to ship and therefore an additional shipping surcharge of $17.50 will be assessed to these items.

by Dr. Francis Pottenger

Dr. Francis Pottenger's experiments with cats in the mid-20th century have stood the test of time as some of the most important health research ever carried out. Dr. Pottenger fed several groups of cats controlled diets that ranged from completely cooked, processed, and devitalized, to raw, fresh, and nutrent-dense. Charting the cats development over several generations was extremely instructive, and led to conclusions about cats that were very similar to those that Dr. Price drew regarding humans, nutrition, and physical degeneration. Like Dr. Price, Dr. Pottenger was not afraid to boldly interpret his findings and apply them to our modern society. In fact, Pottenger's Cats contains 44 pages devoted to his cat studies, while over 67 pages relate to the subject of human nutrition. Pottenger explores the benefits of raw milk to human skeletal development, the importance of breast feeding to facial development, the health benefits of saturated fats, and the false relationship between cholesterol-rich foods and high cholesterol levels - (remember, this was over half a century ago!). Pottenger's Cats is truly a remarkable work and both complements and deepens the research of Nutrition and Physical Degeneration in many important ways. 123 pages, softcover

Whole foods--quality protein from animal sources, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains--have made it possible for humankind to survive, to be healthy, and to procreate through the millennia. Unfortunately, today these nutrient-dense foods are regarded merely as raw materials to be converted into more profitable refined and highly processed products. The potato, for example, is converted into chips and fries, corn-on-the-cob into flakes, and the apple into juice. Similar fractioning of food has occurred throughout all the basic food groups. Food partitioning shortchanges our health by diminishing important nutritional offerings and destroying vital nutrient relationships.

A Whole Foods Primer demonstrates the wisdom of selecting whole foods for optimal intake of nutrients essential for good health. In it, readers will learn about the basic nutritional components of each whole food group and their specific functions and beneficial roles in the body; nutrient profiles and surprising facts about some hundred whole foods; their historical uses as food and medicine; and the latest research that identifies their health-bestowing qualities. To help increase one's intake of this trove of nutrients, A Whole Foods Primer describes the special characteristics that consumers should seek when shopping so they can identify the peak of nutritional value and flavor in whole foods. It also provides instruction on the best cooking techniques and storage conditions to help minimize nutritional losses, as well as the best methods to preserve fresh foods for future use. Useful tips and suggestions to increase the consumption of whole foods easily and to encourage experimentation with unfamiliar ones are included, as are practical resources for recipes, cookbooks, and contact information for hard-to-locate purveyors of quality whole foods. This basic primer makes clear and simple the values of reestablishing our connection to this lost world of whole foods not only for our good health but also for the health of future generations.
