We are going back to a simpler time. Back before the food industry came along, our grandparents grew their own food and took time to properly prepare that food. Today, we call that traditional cooking, and that’s what we’ll be discussing today: Traditional Cooking and How To Make Fermented Foods.

***Correction***
On the show, I mentioned that I read somewhere that oxalates are concentrated in the skin of the almond. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find confirmation on that, so if you have an oxalate issue, assume that almonds are high in oxalates even without the skin.
