The Chikn is dead on. About half the shit you buy in the grocery is full of one poison or another. White sugar is one of the worst, and its in literally everything. Cancer loves it. Every time I get weak and indulge, my arthritis lets me know. I stick to honey and maple syrup. For oils, olive for most things and coconut for frying. With any oil its best to keep the heat as low as possible.
Nothing in this world quite like a fresh from the vine heirloom tomato. Or fresh corn, leave it in the husk and throw it on a hot grill for 10 minutes, flip it for 10, and its cooked in its own juice. Beats boiling all to hell.
Dang, I can hardly wait for planting time...
I am working on my sugar source right now.
A good friend gave me some sugar cane cuttings last fall. I cit them proper and planted them last November. I have 4 nice sprigs about a foot tall right now along a fenceline with rich sandy soil.
Sugar cane properly processed is actually very good for you. It is LOADED with trace minerals.
I already found a source for heirloom cane breeds. I will obtain 4 more varieties in September.
I joke when i call my 6 acres "Chikn's Tea and Fruit Plantation".....but only cause it isn't complete yet.
I have lots of tea on my place too...so its really no joke, either. Yaupon is the only plant in north america that contains caffeine. And i have tons of it.
I ran the zero turn over a pile of it today.
The wife has unfortunately cut off my fruit tree buying, until i open up and clear off the back 3 acres.....women and their flowers.
I told her, if she would plan to sell cut flowers, i could maybe see puttimg in more flowers.
