Modern day food products we find in the supermarkets today are heavily laced with soy. Soy is widely used in the food industry in a majority of baked goods, such as bread, cakes, biscuits and pastries.

The soya bean is quite an amazing bean as it stands out from the rest of the legumes in that it has a higher protein and phytoestrogen count. The soya bean is also a contentious bean. Modern processing methods don’t achieve the best out of soy, although it is widely extrapolated that it is a wonder food, there are just as many negative side effects coming out from this bean.
Soy is a contentious bean.

Soy is very high in phytates and anti-nutrients and these will contribute to negative health factors. Macro minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc are bound up by these phytates and this means that you aren’t absorbing all the minerals in your diet. We are already short on minerals if we live solely on food grown with chemicals. Why make things worse for yourself? It’s more important than ever to rethink your health status and watch what you are putting into your body.
After all, you are what you eat.

Traditionally soy has been fermented into miso, tempeh and soya sauce. These are wonderful life giving products which will help to enhance our immune systems by helping to create healthy bowel flora. Money can’t buy these living ferments and there is nothing like the taste of your own food products.

This one day workshop will teach you how to make your own delicious tempeh at home. Miso, a health giving food has so many different variations and they are all quite easy to make and it will all be unpasteurized. Also learn how to make your own soy sauce. Once you learn how to make these health giving fermented soy products you’ll never look at buying them again as the home made version tastes so much more superior to what you can buy.

The workshop participants will cook up a soy good lunch with home made pasta all made on the day. A manual with the recipes and instructions and the contact details of where to get your starter moulds are included, and miso is given out to all to take home. The cost is $80 and bookings can be made by contacting Elisabeth. If you can gather fifteen people or more then I can come out to you anywhere in South East Queensland.
