- Science with Sarah (15:21)
- A question that Sarah gets asked a lot is if soaking, sprouting and/or fermenting makes a difference with the nutrient compounds of nuts and grains
- Soaking and sprouting are the same thing - the variable is how long you go for
- With soaking you take the grain and put them in water for twelve to twenty-four hours
- If you rinse them and put them on a damp paper towel to allow them to sprout and grow, it becomes a sprouted grain - but the things happening in a sprouted grain start to happen when you begin to soak the grain
- The anti-nutrients in grains and if they are or are not impacted by the soaking and sprouting
- Fermentation we are using yeast and bacteria to partially digest the grain
- Digesting the product using bacteria and yeast
- It is the same process as making sauerkraut
- The anti-nutrients in grains and if they are or are not impacted by the soaking and sprouting
- These processes do not make grains a nutrient-dense food, but they do change the food and makes it more digestible for people that do not have overt food sensitivities
- Whether you consume these sprouted or fermented grains is all individual choice, and based on where you fall on an ancestral template spectrum
- Playing around with soaked and fermented grains wouldn't qualify as Paleo
- All the considerations that go into the choices you make, what your goals may be, and understanding the types of options you have
- Questions & Answers (27:01)
- Andrea - what are your thoughts on fermented sourdough bread?
- Stacy recommends avoiding breads, focusing on incorporating nutrient dense items instead
- Looking at what you gain by eating these foods
- Quality of life food versus a nourishing food
- When we cook/bake a food we kill the nutrients that are beneficial when consuming fermented foods
- Chris - is there such a thing as Paleo bread?
- Yes making any recipe with less refined ingredients is a healthier option, but it is deceptive to say that any sort of treat is healthy
- Stacy refers to these foods as grain-free or gluten-free, she doesn't refer to them as Paleo
- Selecting what you eat daily by what adds nutrients, but adding the occasional gluten-free foods is what makes this a sustainable lifestyle
- Its not about deprivation or telling yourself you can't have something - you can choose to eat these things, you just have to decide if they are inline with the goals that you have for yourself and if that is truly a decision that you want to make
- We all have to find our balance
- There is absolutely a place for Paleo bread, or bagels, or whatever it is you want - and you will find many of these Paleo recipes in Paleo cookbooks
- Looking at it as a treat versus this is how I can have toast with breakfast
- There can be a problem with relying on Paleo versions of old favorites
- Figuring out what works for you and implementing strategies around those findings - and this process takes time and baby steps
- Andrea - what are your thoughts on fermented sourdough bread?
- Sarah's nine year old won a blue ribbon at their county science fair
- Thanks for listening, we will be back next week!
