All seeds and grains are useful and beneficial, but some to a greater extent than others.

Rye, for example, has been a staple food for Finns for centuries. They consumed it mainly in the form of rye bread. Finns eat mostly sour rye bread (with yeast). This product hides one of the secrets of their exceptional health.

It turns out that the fermentation of the grains makes many nutrients more easily available for absorption in the intestinal tract. During the natural fermentation process in the preparation of sourdough rye bread, phytin (a substance that reduces physical and mental fatigue and improves physical endurance) is released and valuable minerals and trace elements are absorbed. Rye bread is very good for the health of the digestive and excretory organs.

Here's how to make rye bread:

Ingredients: 8 cups freshly ground rye flour, 3 cups warm water, bread yeast.

Method of preparation: Mix 7 cups of flour with water and yeast. The kneaded dough is covered with a towel and left in a warm place - for about 12-18 hours. Then add the remaining flour and mix well again. Put the dough in a greased pan. Let it swell for half an hour. Bake at 160 ° C for an hour or more, if necessary.

In the original Finnish recipe, sourdough was used instead of yeast. To prepare it at home, you need to mix a little flour with water and leave it to ferment in a covered glass for 10-15 days.

Stir occasionally, adding a little flour. When ready, the yeast has a sweet smell of fermentation, which is the aroma of fresh bread. It can be stored for 1-2 weeks in a dark and cool place in a glass bowl, not plastic.

It should be borne in mind that the fermentation process of the dough, when sour yeast is used, is longer and slower than that which uses the finished chemical yeast.

Research from around the world shows that all people, famous for their excellent health, regularly consume some kind of cereal as a staple in their daily diet. In Russia it is buckwheat and millet, in Mexico - corn and beans, in China - rice, in the Middle East - sesame seeds, in Eastern Europe - barley, and in Scotland - oats.

Cereals, seeds and nuts are the most important and strongest food for human health. Their nutritional value is incomparable with any other food.

Used mostly raw and sprouted, as well as cooked, they contain in the most perfect combination all the nutrients essential for maintaining health and preventing disease.
