Probably like eating sawdust...
fyi, sorghum can be fermented and distilled to produce maotai, which is regarded as one of the china’s most famous liquors.
i prefer the version in taiwan however...
Blueberries are so good, they actually reverse the aging process. The body starts rebuilding it's own nerve cells.
Japan did an antioxidant study on blueberries, strawberries, and spinach. To their surprise, the older rats being fed nothing but blueberry extract became youthful again. The Japanese study was on the net for a short while, then pulled. We tried to order blueberry plants in bulk after that, but Japan had bought out every blueberry plant in the U.S. that year. After that, there was no mention of it from Japan.
If you google "blueberries reverse aging process", you'll find numerous links, but the original report can no longer be found. I printed it before it disappeared, so I do have a copy of it.
Perhaps this will get buried by the corn and wheat industries? I thought sorgum was also used as a sweetener.
Perhaps, but I will gladly eat blueberry pancakes.
Sorghum bran pancakes do not sound as appealing.
VERY interesting information.
I hurt my back several years ago. I thought it had healed, but recently, started having trouble again. I went from hiking 6 miles a day to hardly being able to walk with out pain. Out of desperation, I went to a chiropractor who does physical therapy, hoping he could show me ways to build my back muscles up, or something.
He told me to change my diet to an anti-inflammatory diet. I’ve always been a big vegetable eater, so it’s not been too hard (cutting out salt and sugar, not so easy). It’s only been about 3 weeks. If anti-aging, anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory properties are all contained in one little blueberry, I’m in. They taste really good, too. Do they have to be fresh blueberries or can dried blueberries work?
hmmmmmmm BTTT
who knew
It would be more useful than blueberries in that it won't be perishable, like fresh blueberries, or its quality be diminished by long term freezer storage. Probably be cheaper for the same amount of antioxidants, as well.
It might also encourage farmers to start growing food for FOOD, again, rather than for fuel.
Is it available in chocolate?
Fresh or frozen (canned has a lot of sugar). Simmer them slowly in their own juices. The juice is important. Do not add water.
There are very few blue/red colored foods. There is an old tale about king Aurthur traveling deep into the woods. He came across an old man sitting on his porch. The man was crying and in great anguish. Aurthur asked him what his problem was, and the man was upset because he accidentally dropped his grandfather while helping him out of bed. Arthur was, of course, confused. What was the secret of his longevity? According to the old man, it was the elderberries growing through out the forest.
Elderberries, like blue berries, also have that blue/red colored juice.
oh great, here come all the sorghum bran drinks.
So does anyone know where one can purchase high-tannin sorghum bran?
We have blackberry bushes where we live. We didn’t get many this year. Had a late snow and a cool, wet summer. We live in AZ, so we’re not complaining.
In summers past, we had so many blackberries we ran out of things to do with them. Blackberries probably have similar properties due to their color.
We’ve got a friend who discovered he’s in the early stages of dementia. His brain is literally shrinking. Doctor said it’s irreversible. I don’t believe that. I’m passing this info on to him. Thank you for posting it!!
There are other foods that are higher in anti-oxidants. Google strawberries for instance.
Added to packaged multigrain bread would be fine with me.
