Eating More Fat

These are only some of the signs that your body does not have enough of the right kind of fats. Did you know that women should be 28% made up of fats? Men should be about 18% fat. 60% of our fat needs to be constantly replaced. This is why it is important to have fats in our diets throughout the day, every day.

Eating More Eggs

Eggs are an actual superfood, packed with protein, healthy fat, numerous vitamins, zinc, magnesium and more. Not only are they full of nutrients, these nutrients are also easy to digest. Raw egg yolks in particular are often equated with breastmilk in the ease of nutrient absorption basically without any digestion needing to be done first. For people with digestive issues, a food that needs almost no digestion in order to get the benefits is a huge win!

Why Is Everyone Talking About Zinc?

With talk of viruses so prevalent, many people have been introduced to the concept of zinc deficiency. However, this is not a new thing - in the 1930s zinc was found to be essential for humans. In the 1960s it was found that deficiency of zinc can cause several symptoms. More recently we have been finding more and more symptoms associated with zinc deficiency as the world seems in general very zinc deficient. Some estimates show that zinc is involved in more body functions than any other mineral.

Fermented Sourdough Tortillas

,

Ingredients for Sourdough Tortillas:

  • ½ cup Sourdough Starter

  • 3 tbsp Melted Lard

  • 1 tsp sea salt

  • ½ cup Raw Milk

  • 2 cups Einkorn All Purpose Flour (Jovial) + more for dusting

  • Cheese for Quesadilla 

Directions for Sourdough Tortillas:

24 hours before:

Melt lard slightly in a saucepan. Transfer lard to a large bowl. Add in milk and salt. Stir.

When cooled slightly, add in the starter and stir. Add ½ cup of flours until you reach 2 cups.

Remove from the bowl and add to a slightly floured surface. Knead for 3 minutes.

Put in a bowl on the counter. Cover. If you live in a dry climate like me, you may want to put a little bit of filtered water on top of your dough and cover with a wet towel.

After 24 hours:

Divide dough into 8 pieces. Roll into balls and set aside.

Heat a little bit of lard or tallow in a pan, enough to cover the bottom.

Add a light dusting of Einkorn flour to a board or the counter. You can also use cornstarch, tapioca starch, cassava flour, rice flour, or potato starch for this part of the process -anything that you can tolerate if you can’t tolerate un-fermented wheat.

Roll tortilla balls 1 by 1 flat into a circle.

When the pan is hot, add the tortilla.

When there are cooked bubbles and it peels away from the pan easily, you can flip the tortilla and cook the other side.

When both sides are cooked, add cheese and top with another tortilla.
