Unfortunately, there are no short cuts when it comes to getting the most from your food. Oatmeal needs to be soaked and if it’s been heat treated, it should be soaked with a bit of rye, wheat or buckwheat flour which will help to release the enzyme phytase (which will have been eliminated by the steaming).

Comment on Perpetual Soup: The Easiest Bone Broth You’ll Make by Heather H

This may be what my issue is. I’ve done several chicken and beef broths this way but *usually* have emptied the crockpot every 2-3 days. My broth at the end of this time sometimes has that rancid taste previous posters have mentioned. I’ve never had an issue with “too much fat” making it taste burnt. However, I’ve questioned whether I should have removed the skin, meat, etc. earlier in the process. Anyway, I have another batch started so will definitely take to emptying it every day to see if that makes the difference by the end of the week. Thanks!

Hello, I love eating the soaked oatmeal in the morning and understand the reasons to soak. I am wondering, however, if there are vitamins and minerals left in the oatmeal after you drain and rinse the soaking water. Thanks so much. Love your website!

questions about the soaked oatmeal porridge: because the prep for rolled oats involves steaming the whole oats until soft, then drying, then rolling, i wonder if they need to be soaked overnight? the long steaming process causes them to take on enough water to be soft, so, i wonder how much more they need? does the acid soak change the flavor? if so, and if that is a pleasnt change, perhaps that acid could just be added when the porridge is cooked? if steps can be saved, perhaps more folks will find the time to try this out.

i love alter-eco & buy it through my co-op for 1/2 the price of my grocery store (a specialty WF type chain owned locally).
mint & quinoa (OK puffed quinoa is probably really bad for me) are my fav’s.

The volume is so non-equalized. I can barely hear the woman on the left. It’s tiring to be changing the volume control back and forth for 40 minutes.
