The brownie recipe is up here with a video, and I hope to do the same sometime for these other sweet treats!<br />ADArden Durhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10409740153710504129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380270641846028408.post-34426881920754932932011-03-09T09:36:18.859-08:002011-03-09T09:36:18.859-08:00Arden, what do you use baking soda and unflavored ...Arden, what do you use baking soda and unflavored gelatin for in your cooking.

Legumes are rich in nutrients and enzymes, but they also contain phytic acid.<br /><br />Phytic acid is a type of a phosphorous compound that contains enzyme inhibitors that work to block or inhibit the absorption of important minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc.<br /><br />Besides blocking key minerals from being absorbed into the body, phytic acid can be a great strain on the human digestive system. Removing the acid, makes the starches digestible, therefore your are less apt to suffer from gas.Lady Ryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13282725680828839139noreply@blogger.com
