    Traditional Cooking Tip: Traditional cooks only use eggs from pasture raised chickens.

    Daily traditional cooking tip: Soaking grains makes them healthier and easier to digest.

    Soaking grains helps neutralize phytic acid and release enzyme inhibitors. This makes them easier to digest and the nutrients more easily absorbed.
