WHOLE WHEAT AND OTHER CEREALS – DIET
Our grandparents could certainly tell us a thing or two about the more natural way of life. Their diet, simple though it was, did not produce the deficiencies of today, because it consisted of wholefoods, lacking none of the vital elements. In the country bread was baked in the home and this good, old-fashioned cereal bread formed the basis of their daily diet. We really should abandon the lamentable custom of refining and canning food, a custom of our civilisation that has been nothing but detrimental to Our health, and return to the simple, natural ways of our forebears.
You, the individual, can do something about this for yourself. Eat whole wheat, which is no doubt one of the best foods available, containing just the right amount and combination of elements, and should be used in its entirety. You will find it very tasty and wholesome. Soak the grains, then steam them with a little butter or oil and onions, and season with one of the many culinary herbs. If you prefer not to use onions, they may be omitted. The dish can also be prepared ‘au gratin’ in the oven, or you can add soaked wheat kernels to soups, stews, casseroles, etc. Wheat prepared in the same way as a risotto makes a delicious ‘wheatotto’. Why not use whole wheat in every form possible? If you like, you can even sweeten it with almonds, raisins or currants.
