“The problem with killing 99.9 percent of bacteria is that most of them protect us from the few that can make us sick.” – Sandor Katz

Berry Balls – fermented
My cousin makes delicious Strawberry Balls for special occasions so I’ve tweaked the recipe to add fermented ingredients. The Berry Balls are just as tasty but more nutritious and gluten free.

I love that the Balls can be frozen so they can be made ahead and brought out of the freezer at short notice.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup raspberries or other berries
  • 2 cups nut meal – preferably fermented
  • 2 cups shredded coconut
  • 1 cup fruit n nut medley { from Introductory workshop }
  • ½ large roasted beetroot
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Extra shredded or desiccated coconut
Method:
  1. Wash the berries and gently pat dry.  Make sure the beetroot is cooled.
  2. Place all ingredients in a food processor and mix till the mass is smooth and rolling over itself. If the mixture is too wet, add more beetroot or nut meal.
  3. Roll teaspoonfuls of the mixture into balls and roll in the extra coconut.
  4. Place in a sealed container in the fridge for a week or place in a sealed container in the freezer.
The following images shows the Berry Balls being prepared.
A new Spotlight on Yoghurt & Labneh Cheese session

Living a Healthy Life ... "in the news"
 

'Cultured': A Look At How Foods Can Help The Microbes Inside Us Thrive
"a surge in microbiome research over the past two decades has revealed [that the microbes in our gut] do much more than simply digest food. They can mediate weight gain, fight off infection, and even alter our mood."

Consuming fermented dairy products is associated with a healthier life-style and greater adherence to the Mediterranean Diet
"Fermented foods have been used for thousands of years and they come about through extensive microbial growth. These foods are known for improving shelf life, safety and organoleptic and nutritional properties when compared with the original food substrates. Furthermore, fermented foods that retain living cultures (e.g. yogurt and some cheeses) may reduce the risk of some diseases."

The Benefits of Fermenting Foods
"Fermented foods support a huge variety of healthy bacteria that contribute to good gut health. ... Another health benefit comes from the fact that fermentation breaks down food slightly before we eat it. ... There are even some foods that become more nutritionally rich through fermentation."
