I had problems digesting wheat even as a child but now it's been completely screwed up. Plant breeding is fine and necessary - but did we have to let a slew of mad geneticists with their gene guns run rampant through the food crops, blending plant animal and fungus families that never mated nor crossed in nature, probably for good reason!? I'm no luddite but you don't jam your hand into a fire just because you think no one else has - there is a reason why people avoid some things! You can get burned. So this is a place for me to keep a stack of recipes that do not use wheat but rely on heritage grains for this Celtic-Germanic-Mohawk chick. I am leaving corn out because currenrly in the Ameircas, as Monsanto has done some vile things to the corn crop involving built in pesticides. None for me, thanks - I'll pass!
Our bodies are adapted to what our ancestors ate. Mine did not dine on almond nor coconut flours. Making breads with those tropical and semi-tropical crops strikes me as utterly daft when there is a wealth of old recipes using non-wheat flours.
Non-wheat grains have been eaten successfully for millenia.
