Hey Mary, there's a "WhatsApp" scammer posing as yourself requesting that your peoples message you. Check the reply to my 'heart' comment I left you, you'll see what I'm talking about. I suggest you report them to RU-vid, and tell your RU-vid community in a video (so they know it's really you) to warn them about these scammers. A lot of people fall for this. And not all scammers will pose as you nor will they be from WhatsApp.
Can you buy the Whole Flax & Golden Flax as meal and store in air tight, or sealed jars? Or are they already depleted by the time I get home from store? Which makes no sense how can the best buy date still be almost as many years out as whole? None have gone rancid, but my storage room/house is never over 76-78 w/low humidity if possible, due to health conditions. They are just part of a yogurt mix I prep weekly. I can't find a way to home grind in bulk, small enough I don't choke, can't chew seeds. Had to loss last attempt.
Another plug for raw honey here. One day my twin nieces both had sore throats. One of them started making what she called honey tea, which was just some warm water with honey mixed in. She had it several times throughout the day. She kept offering it to her sister, who said no every time. The next day they were taken to the doctor to be tested for strep. The one who turned her nose up at the "honey tea" was positive for strep, while the one who drank it several times the day before did not have strep. They shared a room with the head of their beds right next to each other and did everything together. Literally the only difference was the honey in warm water. Raw honey is AMAZING!
You can grind flax seeds and use 1 TBS of ground flaxseeds to 3 TBS water for egg replacement in recipes if you do not have access to eggs and need a substitute.
One thing that I would like to point out about ghee and coconut oil is that they need to be kept clean. Use only a clean spoon to measure it out. Don't dip some out, use the spoon to stir something, then dip the same spoon back in. This introduces contaminants that will ruin your ghee or coconut oil. I made ghee that someone else used and used a dirty spoon. I ended up having to throw out half a pint of ghee because it grew black mold. If you want it to last, keep it clean.
My mom gave my brother and me cod liver oil year round (late 40’s/early 50’s) to prevent rickets. We lived in North Dakota where there’s little sun available in the winter for vitamin D source. One year we all got polio, and my brother and I had only minor symptoms, my mother was really sick but recovered. But my dad had really bad symptoms, including paralysis. He had to be hospitalized for months, and gradually recovered, but was never as strong as he was before. Now with new information about vitamin D, I believe that the cod liver oil may have mitigated my brother’s and my symptoms of polio. 🙏
@@MarysNest love back to you! I love all your podcasts! By the way, I know how to milk a cow, churn butter, and have a lot of the old skills, because I grew up on a farm “back in the day! 😂
I've just started giving my children and myself cod liver oil capsules. I wasn't to up the amount from 2 small capsules to 4 per day and need to push my husband to take them also.
When you mentioned using apple cider vinegar in a beverage, I immediately thought of Little House on the Prairie cookbook. Ma used to make Ginger Water for Pa when he was working outside during the summer. Probably much healthier for replacing electrolytes than some of these processed beverages folks drink today.
Yes indeed! It dates back to the 18th Century - maybe even before - and was called Haymaker's Punch! Wonderfully refreshing!! Love, Mary Oh! PS - here is a great playlist of beverages made with ACV as well as a collection of "Mocktails: ru-vid.com/group/PLkRuW3pBo2U2w2-CiBrkNnZj_IIlqZc9h Love, Mary
Reading a novel today set in 1906 and the characters are drinking switchel after working on a farm. Book describes it as water with vinegar and maple syrup and benefits for digestion.
I love that you chose superfoods to share today! I'm a plant-based eater, so knowing that these are the staples that are good for stocking in a pepper pantry is very helpful! Thank you!🥰
Make your own drink from dried hibiscus flowers (agua de Jamaica). You can get hibiscus at any Mexican or international supermarket. A few flowers will make plenty of agua de Jamaica and you can reuse the flowers 2 or 3 times if they are strong. They are also edible and once they have been used up for agua de Jamaica, you can make taco filling out of them.
WOW!!! My head is spinning from all of the important information!! I think I shall watch this video a few times. There is so much information it is hard to keep up with taking notes of all the valuable infor. You are so pleasant to watch and your voice is pleasant to the ear. Thank you and I'll be watching again.
You've given some great tips for being prepared for any type of emergency. And you've done so in a non-panic-inciting way - thank you for that! I've been a stocker from way back. We're a retired military family who was stationed overseas at a geographically separated area far away from an American commissary. I learned then to stock up. Since retiring and returning to the US, keeping stocked cupboards of food and other supplies has carried us through job loss and illness several times. I've also learned to be creative in where to shop. Living overseas for several years introduced us to other brands and foods available only outside the US that we've grown to love. I've been fortunate to be able to locate those imported goods as well as American goods at places such as Ross, TJ Maxx, Home Goods, and Marshall's - often for less than in our regular grocery stores. I also frequent our area discount grocery stores.
I am so glad that you found the mushrooms at Costco. I recently was in touch with the company (in France), to ask about extending the shelf life of these mushrooms. Specifically, I wanted to know if they dried their mushrooms to less than 10% moisture. They got back with me and said putting them in mylar or glass jar with O2 absorber would be safe. I am very impressed with the types of mushrooms they use, the way they dry them AND their customer service. Hope you enjoy them. ❤️
I’ve kept opened coconut oil for 2.5 yrs, in a stable temperature less than 65 degrees without any changes. My summers in Missouri will melt it. I put it into the fridge for summer. I’ve kept sealed coconut oil for over four years (in a stable temperature). Thanks for the list!
Mary you are my favorite Prepper and Ferment Channel! You have encouraged me to ferment, make ghee and now listening to you on what healthy super foods to stock in my Pantry! 🌺
I used to buy ghee, and it always went rancid fast. Then I learned to make my own. It tastes so much better and stays fresh longer. It’s also great for frying because it doesn’t splatter like other fats
We went to visit my son and his wife in Italy in 2019 while they were stationed there in Aviano in the airforce. When we'd go out to eat they always brought us a "di gest eve" one was a lemoncello and another common one was a liquorice drink, which was my favorite!
3 out of the 5 liquor deliveries I made yesterday openly admitted they were stockpiling for what might be coming. One grocery shop & deliver was clearly stocking up on certain items. The other 90 something percent of my customers just seem to be milling around in a blissful state of denial.
Honey 🍯! I’ve never believed in a superfood so much!! I’m a first time momma and my 2.5 year old has had terrible sinus and throat congestion for the past year. It was only recently that I started giving him PB&HONEY sandwiches for lunch (we were out of jelly) and wow! Within a few days his congestion and drippy nose eased and disappeared. After a week I started making him PB&Jelly sandwiches again and his sinuses started acting up again 😮 I know he has allergies 🤧 I just don’t know what they are yet but I plan on getting him tested. So for now honey has been my life saver 🛟
I love the Chia seed idea to thicken fruits like jelly or jams. You are so spot on in having foods on hand for emergencies. Years ago I did canning, made my own baby food etc to have in hand as my husband had health issues for 6 months and could not work. You go so beyond what little I knew, so very much appreciate your knowledge sharing. I absolutely love watching your videos and being able to take notes to refresh my memory on them. Cherish you!!!
Mary, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I have been watching your videos, taking notes, and my four-corners pantry is getting well stocked. I spied a special item in your video today that reminded me of my sweet mom... It brought a tear to my eye, but filled my heart with wonderful memories. Thank you for that special moment. Much love to you & your family during this upcoming Holy Week. 🤎
Gosh, I have found this video exactly what I needed and didn't know until now. There is so much info and much I can use. So Fun! Blessings everyone : )
Tip for Cod Liver Oil: buying canned Cod Liver is also an option. It's very high in fat so you may not be able to eat all of it in one sitting. But it's soft like pudding and has only a very slight ocean taste. It's a once-a-week treat for me whenever I cannot afford good quality CLO or just cant find any of it :)
Thanks Mary as always you are a weatth of information. You would make a great adoptive mom. I can imagine how much someone would learn from you by chatting with you while you work in your kitchen. You are a natural teacher.
I watched a video just the other day about dehydrating liver to fill your own capsules. They put the beef liver in a blender raw and blended it up. Spread it on a sheet abs dehydrated it till it was crisp. They then blended it into a powder.
as a note: Moringa can be grown in colder climates by protecting the roots (and core trunk/branches) with mulch... can br brought into shelter, and can even be grown as an annual if you are only after leaves.
Mary , I found your channel and I love it !! It's now my favorite healthy , traditional cooking channel . I do cook mostly homemade and use only a few convenience foods. Thanks for this super food video. Making homemade sauerkraut is on my to do list. Thanks for that video too.
Mary, it’s my first writing to you and I would like to say, the demeanor, character and grace you display continually is “Godly.” And much to be admired! I just want to thank you for the example you give on how it’s very possible to take a control of personal behavior: anger, rudeness etc. in the light from the Word of God. With that I will tell you the purpose of writing you. Is there a way of using the basic essentials we have in our kitchen to “dry freeze” foods. You have shown us recently how to make powered chicken, beef and mushrooms that show is certainly a Five Star among other’s of course. Continue on your mission, thank you much!
Oh Yolanda!! Thank you SO much for all the kind words. I wish I knew of a way to freeze dry without a freeze dryer! I’ll have to research that. Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
For Vitamin C, consider growing a SeaBuckThorn bush as it is a simple solution for those that buy vitamin c, have the space to grow (as it grows as far north as zone 3), and like to garden. It’s worth researching, good for Omega’s, saving $$, and more. Thank you Mary for some excellent advice! 😊👍
I have a freeze drier and we do a lot with liver. That freeze drier has been one of the best investments I have made. Nice job. I have all of these top 11.
Another excellent herb book that was just released this week is The Haling Garden written by Juliet Blankespoor, the founder of Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine. Pretty sure this is going o be my favorite herbal remedy book. It is #1 herb book on Amazon at the moment and has already sold out many places.
Hi Mary, I grow holy basil every year and dry it to put in tea throughout the year. Lots of great superfoods on your list and I always appreciate your helpful tips throughout! You are a blessing to many!
This was so helpful, Mary! Thank you for the knowledge, time, and care you pour into helping us! ❤ I'm going to check out your blog now, to learn even more. God bless you!
Your videos are always so informative and appreciated. I didn’t know about black pepper and turmeric being complementary but will definitely remember that! I grow a lot of medicinal herbs and love Rosemary Gladstar’s books. I just tinctured some turkey tail mushrooms from our property and we usually find morels growing around the fire pit this time of year. I definitely need to follow your recommendations for digestive health lol. Thank you for all you do!
Hello! This evening Burnin' Up the Roads & Prepping shouted out your channel in her livestream, and as one of her mods I dropped your link. Thanks for all your info!
Hello! Based on your recommendations, I just added Manuka honey and Bitters tablets to my extended pantry😁👍. Turns out that I already had the other things that you recommended. 😁 Thank-you for continuing your educational presentations.
Hi Mary, keeping sprouting broccoli seeds are a great item to get vitamin C. And the sprouts are great for salads etc. I believe if stored properly they can last years
Thanks pointing out that Ceylon cinnamon is the best I’ve always wondered. Tip from me the TJMaxx , HomeGoods group of stores carry Manuka Honey at better prices.
Hi Mary, I’m slowly getting my stock up pantry full and your videos give me great ideas I haven’t thought of. One includes, dried mushrooms. Where can I find a bulk amount of dried mushrooms like the one you have? Thank you! You are a blessing to our community 😊
The spice blends are wonderful. I just had the breakfast blend over homemade yogurt (thanks for the recipe) & a little bit of raw honey. It's also great in tea with a little honey.
I have Rosemary Gladstar and Kami McBride's books and they are excellent resources for beginners. We really enjoy and learn so much from your videos, thank you Mary.
Thank you Mary, I am now a fanatic about flaxseed and any other anti-cancer plant based organic non GMO foods to add to my arsenal. No more cancer for me, thank you....lol
Very informative video. I'm slowly transitioning to a traditional kitchen. Although it can be a bit of a challenge sometimes , I noticed that with the small changes that I have made so far , my health is improving . I find your videos so motivating and helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share all of this information with us .🙂
Thanks for sharing. We're doing well. Got a cotton quilt in the correct size. Ordered new bras. Allergic to two of them. One is polyester and the other is nylon. Still waiting on two natural fiber ones. I've mostly been eating vegetables to flatten my stomach which is what I did to do so before. It was flat after I was given the okay to exercise after giving birth to Daniel and lost when I got pregnant with Thomas.
Amazing video Mary. You never disappoint. Thank you so much. PS: My husband was asking me if we are growing tulsi this year just as you mentioned Tulsi. He is learning. ;-)
I have a client who buys medical grade M. Honey and it's almost triple the price! I will say that it works wonders on wounds! *I'm not a doctor* but I am a believer.
Mary, I have a question regarding the good cheesecloth & cotton towels, which you use for straining broths & stocks: do you rinse them in the sink & then wash them with the other kitchen linens, or do have a separate treatment, altogether, for them. I have the towels, I love them, and the better cheesecloth which is hemmed, so it seems as if I should conserve it. I’m definitely not a newbie, but I’ve always just used kitchen sieves lined with inexpensive cheesecloth, for straining. I like your approach of waste not want not. Your advice is absolutely invaluable, & your friendly approach & non-judgemental advice is a breath of fresh air, in these days of discord. Thank you for forging on, steady & true. 😊😊
Thank you so much for the kind words. Generally, I rinse my flour sack towels very well. Then I put them in a wash tub in my sink with very hot water and just a little bit of a natural dishwashing liquid. Just a drop. I give them a really good swishing and let them soak for about an hour. Then I ring them out and wash them with the rest of my dish towels. I used to wash them separately with Clorox but then some of the viewers here gave me a great tip. They told me to stop using Clorox because it would cause my flour sack towels to deteriorate quicker. And I think that was a good point because I noticed some of them had a little holes in them. They told me instead to use some white vinegar - about a half cup to one cup mixed with about a quart of water and then dumped into my washing machine along with my washing of my other dish rags and dish cloths. It works great - everything comes out fresh smelling and very clean and bright in color whether white or colored. Keep in mind though most of my dish towels are very old so I don’t need to worry about colors running. However, that said, I do wash all my red dish towels separately. Hope this helps. Love, Mary
I've been stockpiling for two years now. It looks like shortages will start occurring in about 2 weeks, throughout the supply chain. NOT just food. People would be wise to also get batteries, candles, bleach, water purifying tablets, containers to store water, paper towels, soap, laundry soap, toilet paper, tissues, cold medicine, cough drops, and one I also didn't hear you mention in your very good series on prepping, was instant potato flakes. They have a decent shelf life and an fill a belly. Instant gravy packets, Spam, pepperoni, salami, bread crumbs, glass jarred olives, jarred jalapenos, hot chili sauce, pickled beets, pickled vegetables, water glassing FRESH eggs, instant yeast, toothpaste, hand lotion, and an emergency medial kit are all good items, too. Great series, Mary. I listened for hours yesterday as I painted a canvas. I have most of what you mentioned. I will be looking for popping corn! haha I have the bagged corn for microwaving, but the other would be great. Also, just thinking... sweetened condensed milk would be good, too. I think we'll be seeing this last for a good year. I also bought jarred chopped garlic. It has a shelf life in to 2024!
Sweet Mary, thank you for this wonderful list! I get so tired of preppers who say stock spam and canned food. I'm grateful I have almost all of these things in my pantry. I've been teaching people for years so many of the tips you mention! I sold the top high speed blender in the world for 8 years b4 quarantine and am passionate about getting people to make healthier choices that are fast and easy (one of the reasons I adore your channel!) This year I decided to grow my own tulsi/ holy basil, and will continue for future (there's one for your medicinal herbs you should grow list ;) ). I just ordered Moringa last week when they were on sale. I just need the cod liver oil now...will check Vitacost next time they have a sale ;). Oh, and I've started stocking some quinoa too ...it's a gluten free grain and protein rolled into one ;).
Forgot to say I never knew you could get (or make) dehydrated kefir grains! They are definitely going on my list! That's a huge point in my opinion, and should be an item on its own instead of a bonus! Thank you for your vast, amazing knowledge of all these things!!
Dehydrating liver is easy and safe. When it snaps, it’s done. All you need to do is put it in a high speed blender or coffee mill and turn it into powdered form. I encapsulate mine in large batches, then keep only a small amount out in the fridge for everyday doses and freeze the rest. Take 3-6 750mg. capsules daily.
One note to recommendations to keep dried fruits on hand. Most dried fruits are not diabetic safe. Sugar in fruit undergoes crustallization in the drying process, which can take the fresh fruits that are good for z diabetic in moderation and turn them into something that causes your blood glucose levels to spike (go up quickly, and high). One dried fruit that is less prone to cause spikes if you eat a small amount only is apricots. They're absolutely delicious, and two or three of them should be safe for most diabetics.
Glad you mentioned specific variety & reason for it. The "cheap" type of cinnamon recently caused a toxicity reaction with my home health client (she uses a lot of it on her oatmeal). Using the real ceylon type fixed that problem.
I’ve just found your videos and I’m delighted at how wonderful they are. You explain everything so well and it’s so interesting and informative. I will be listening to all of them. Thank you so very much. 💕
