#4 - The 5 Most Expensive (And Yet The Cheapest) Foods

"We make our bone broth almost exclusively out of garbage."What if eating real food didn't have to be prohibitively expensive? The most nutritious, real, nourishing foods have traditionally been the cheapest and simplest - conversely, the expensive, rich meals of the wealthy were often laborious productions involving sweets and refined foods.It's time to take back our ancestral wisdom and reclaim foods and skills that once belonged to the people, and have now been relegated to super-expensive and elite grocery stores at staggering prices.In this episode, Andrea and Alison will discuss five of the most expensive "healthy" foods you can buy - which also happen to be five of the cheapest foods you can make at home!It should be noted these cost assessments all assume you will be purchasing the ingredients - many of these can be easily raised at home OR obtained for free through invested relationships with farmers.We will briefly cover the cost of purchasing versus making at home, processes for making, and our favorite resources for each of the following:Bone broth (12:05)Sourdough bread* (24:22)*For a full episode discussing sourdough, there will be a later episode on the podcast!Kombucha & Water Kefir (35:14)Kefir & Yoghurt (48:40)Sauerkraut (1:04:30)Resources mentioned, in approximate order of appearance:Andrea quoted from the Radical Homemakers book by Shannon HayesFrequently mentioned: The Art of Fermentation by Sandor Ellix KatzBone Broth ResourcesNourishing Traditions by Sally FallonNourishing Broth by Sally Fallon MorellBone broth and boullion cubes on Andrea's blogSourdough Bread ResourcesThe Rye BakerAlison’s BlogHow to Create a Sourdough Starter by AlisonThe Fresh Loaf online forumArtisan Breads Every Day by Peter Reinhart (with sourdough pizza crust recipe)How to restart a sourdoughTraditional Cooking School sourdough postsBriefly mentionedGAPS diet mentioned offhand by AndreaKombucha ResourcesKombucha recipes on Andrea’s blogKombucha flavorings on Andrea’s blog
