That's the same sauerkraut I've been buying from Sainsbury's, Jules. For the amount I eat it's way too big for me, and I end up throwing loads of it away. They sell a 400g jar with dill and garlic for £4.50 which I tried, and wasn't keen on. They also stock a Polish "Sauerkraut With Carrot," but that's in an even bigger 900g jar. I may investigate Amazon at some stage, but it's not urgent for me. Paul, I just got the Vadasz Raw garlic and dill sauerkraut from Waitrose - is that the same one you tried? I rather like it,less bitter tasting than the other one and having live culture in it, is much healthier. Downside is it's more expensive of course and I will be getting through it fairly quickly, whereas the big jar lasts a fair while. Would still like to try some others. Yes, that was one of the Saurkrauts I tried, £4.50 at Sainsbury's. I bought some from Amazon that was "live," but I wasn't keen on that either. It was an expensive experiment.  For the amount I use I've pretty much abandoned it. Come summer and salad time, I might investigate some of these, from Amazon.  |

Tentative at first I now really like the Polish Sauerkraut from Tesco
Latest I read from ZOE was to add as much fermented food as possible to help the biome

We ain't hardly got no Sainsburys or Tescos round here but what we do have is a massive Asian farmer's market that provides the most amazing kimchi I ever et.

Feeling hungry one night.
Odd.
I don't feel hungry after a meal anymore
Puzzled.
Then remembered we had rhubarb after dinner as a new to us rhubarb plant in the garden is doing very well.
Rhubarb good for the biome I'm sure
Except
The boss added honey to it
So eating more than usual but feeling hungry as a result of the sugars
Not what I wanted.
Need to find what else we can do for the future
Biome don't like that sugar

I love honey so much I've got three different types on the go at the moment. I've got a Forest & Flowers honey that I use to sweeten green tea etc., a Greek Blossom And Thyme for toast and crumpets, and I've just bought a jar of Buckwheat honey which boasts the same properties as Manuka Honey i.e. it promotes healing in the body, supports immune functions, and boosts antioxidants, at a much less astronomical price. You can even slap it on cuts/wounds for its antiseptic properties - I'll probably be giving that one a miss - and it supposedly helps to keep cholesterol and blood sugar levels down. I usually pay between £10 and £15 per kilo for my honey in 900g to 1.1 Kg (or thereabouts) jars. Don't buy supermarket crap, it's often blended with fructose and other sugars, plus it's probably heat-treated and filtered so any positive health effects are knocked right out of it. You want the pollen, tiny bits of honeycomb, etc. left in, not " ultrafiltered" out. A lot is also from bees fed on sugar syrup. If you read this, you'll probably never buy honey in a supermarket ever again. latinhoneyshop.com/blogs/news/11-shocking-facts-about-supermarket-honeyIt's obviously written by somebody trying to sell you their own " natural" honey, but all of the things detailed *may* apply to your off-the-shelf supermarket honey. Here's everybody's favourite, Rowse honey, just to prove a point.  |

That 80g of sugars pops out at me!  Ruth makes a very tasty chicken in clear honey and chilli flakes that I can't resist. Yummy. |

Not that keen anyway as it does me in
Borrowed from Washington Post
For some vegans, this extends to honey, because it is produced from the labor of bees. Honey-avoiding vegans believe that exploiting the labor of bees and then harvesting their energy source is immoral — and they point out that large-scale beekeeping operations can harm or kill bees.

There's a point when the silliness should stop. You've just found it. I'm sure I've heard beekeepers say just the opposite. Next, vegans will be saying that we shouldn't 'hurt' plants. |

Include water in that (poor molecules), speed things up for us🙂 |

When you start thinking about the rights and wrongs of " exploiting the labour of bees," you've just about reached the stage where veganism stops becoming something that suits your lifestyle, and encourages better health choices, and starts to become... well... you know the way we look at people who say 5G masts spread COVID, and vaccination is all about injecting tracker chips into our bloodstreams..? |

No decision for me
It does me in
Time after time I find sugar and similar does me no good at all
Sugar in fruit seems ok

...and I've just bought a jar of Buckwheat honey which boasts the same properties as Manuka Honey i.e. it promotes healing in the body, supports immune functions, and boosts antioxidants, at a much less astronomical price... ...and it is gorgeous. It's not as sweet as most other kinds of honey I've tried, it's natuarally crystalised, and a tad richer. It took me a whole crumpetsworth to get used to the differences, but once I did... YUMMMM. If this is " eating healthy," then I can live with it. Luxurious is how I'd describe it. If anyone wants to try it, now would be an excellent time as it's currently on offer. The b*stards have just knocked a fiver off of the price I paid.  smile.amazon.co.uk/stores/page/E67C5D7F-A741-4A0C-869A-17DB4C430030 |
