Aster Tezare grew up in Eritrea where everyone kept a jar of kemem tsebhi on hand to add to lentils, beans, or rice or to spread on bread such as injera.

It is perfect for stirring into broth or for topping soup, stew, fish, grains, or chicken for added brightness and flavor.

Beets are sliced and cultured in water with yogurt whey and Celtic sea salt to make this traditional tonic drink. Sally Fallon Morell describes this drink as being "valuable for its medicinal qualities and as a digestive aid. Beets are just loaded with nutrients. One 4-ounce glass, morning and night, is an excellent blood tonic, promotes regularity, aids digestion, alkalizes the blood, cleanses the liver and is a good treatment for kidney stones and other ailments..." (Nourishing Traditions, page 608)

This chili starts with grassfed, Regenerative Certified ground beef from Carman Ranch, simmered with California-grown Pleasant Grove black beans cooked in beef bone broth, carrots, celery, onions, tomato paste, garlic and mild savory spices.

Ingredients: grassfed ground beef, beef broth, black beans,* onions,* carrots,* celery,* tomato paste,* garlic,* beef liver, cumin,* oregano,* marjoram,* paprika,* apple cider vinegar,* Celtic sea salt, aji chile paste (aji chiles, citric acid),* chili powder,* black pepper,* coriander,* smoked paprika,* cinnamon,* bay leaves,* chipotle powder,* cayenne* (* = organic)

The Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) considers black beans "legal" while the Gut and Psychology Syndrome Diet (GAPS) considers them "illegal."
For this colorful shrub, we infused Bernie's Best raw apple cider vinegar with zest from local grapefruits and blood oranges. We added fresh juice from those same fruits along with raw local honey for a delicious take on the traditional tang of the oxymel (vinegar-infused medicinal tonic). Our version includes raw honey for sweetness and nutrition, rather than refined sugars.
A shrub is a traditional fruit concentrate, like a syrup, preserved with vinegar and used to make or flavor beverages. A few ounces with bubbly water makes a fabulous drink all on its own, and there's no reason you couldn't use it as a cocktail mixer if that's your thing! Shrubs can also add zing to jam or salad dressing, and make a wonderful glaze for grilled meats.

A wonderfully zesty Indian vegetable dish! Fresh cauliflower florets are roasted with housemade ghee, simmered with tomatoes, onions and spices, then finished with fresh cilantro. Delicious by itself, over rice, or with a dollop of yogurt cream.
Ingredients: cauliflower,* crushed tomatoes,* onions,* ghee (clarified butter),* cilantro,* garlic,* ginger,* coriander,* Celtic sea salt, cumin seeds,* bay leaves,* garam masala spice blend (cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, black pepper, coriander),* turmeric,* cayenne* (*=organic)
Recipe is vegetarian, gluten-free, contains dairy in the form of ghee, and is GAPS Diet-friendly.
This flavorful broth is made from the bones, feet and heads of organic chickens. A splash of Bernie's apple cider vinegar helps draw minerals out of the bones. We simmer it at just the right temperature for 12-16 hours to draw out the nutrients without damaging them by overcooking, and to bring out a lovely flavor.
According to Sally Fallon, author of Nourishing Traditions, "[Bone broth] contains minerals in a form the body can absorb easily—not just calcium but also magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulphur and trace minerals. It contains the broken down material from cartilage and tendons--stuff like chondroitin sulphates and glucosamine, now sold as expensive supplements for arthritis and joint pain."
You can simply heat the broth with a little salt and pepper, tamari, fish sauce, coconut aminos, miso or any flavoring of your choice. Add it to soups and stews, cook your rice or any starches in it, or braise chicken parts and vegetables for dinner. Cook it down for an umami-rich demi-glace! TSH worker-owner Mud Hut loves making Egg Drop Soup, cooking the whites in the broth first with a little salt and pepper, then adding the yolk and turning the heat off after just a few seconds.
We do not recommend that you freeze the beef broth in these jars. One ingenious way to incorporate broth into your life is to freeze it in ice cube trays, then store the cubes in a bag or container in the freezer. Heat a few anytime you want a cup of broth, add a few cubes when you cook rice or any starch, add to a soup or stew...you get the picture.

There are many wonderful ways to add sprouted pumpkin seeds to your diet. They can easily be added to any sweet or savory dish. Some of our favorite uses are on a soup, on a salad, in a pesto, or ground into seed butter. Perfect in school lunch boxes, and as a post workout pick-me-up.

This flavorful gelatin-rich broth is made from Marin Sun Farms beef bones and browned meat, filtered water, and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Our beef broth is cooked for approximately 48 hours before being jarred, lidded and cooled. According to Dr. Thomas Cowan, "In healthy, traditional cultures, when an animal was slaughtered, all the parts were put to use, including the bones, to make mineral-rich broth. Our modern diet, having largely forgotten the use of broth as the basis of our cooking, is estimated to have less than half the mineral content of more traditional diets. This rich mineral content and the fact that soup broths greatly aid digestion are just two of the many reasons why everyone should make soup broth a part of their daily diet."
We do not recommend that you freeze the beef broth in these jars. Although the jars are meant to be freezer-safe, we have found that the beef broth can still crack the jar when frozen. You can transfer the broth to a different container to freeze it. We find that, unopened, the broth lasts for four weeks or more in the fridge.
