INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Many of the questions Alison and I receive on a constant basis relate to topics that we covered in early foundational episodes of the podcast, so we decided to bring a few of those archive episodes to the front and highlight them for new listeners to enjoy. This episode is one of our very earliest - it's only our fourth episode on the podcast; and we were covering five of the most expensive foods to buy that are ironically some of the cheapest foods you can make.
In this episode, we cover bone broth; sourdough bread; kombucha and water kefir; kefir and yoghurt; and sauerkraut. We compare the price of purchasing high quality versions of these foods compared to making them at home, and some of our resources for each of them. This is an excellent episode with a lot of really good show notes, so be sure to check the show notes for all of our many, many, many resources on all of these topics!

In this episode we mentioned the Cultures for Health kefir grains, but more recently we have started sharing about the Yemoos grains instead. These grains are never dehydrated, and they are fed raw milk so you can put them straight into your raw milk at home. Based on much experimentation and experience of our own, as well as patron experiences and a conversation we had with Sandor Katz, we prefer never-dehydrated, raw-milk fed grains.
