Raw cultured vegetables - fermented rather than cooked - are a self-rejuvenating non-dairy source of lactobacilli such as acidophilus, which help maintain healthy intestinal flora and alleviate digestive disorders. Based on scientific studies and his own extensive research, Richards introduces this nourishing food tradition as a simple, natural antidote to today's overprocessed foods and hectic, unhealthy lifestyles. He describes the role it has played throughout history and its current popularity, explains how to culture vegetables, and suggests ways to incorporate them into an optimum diet. 96 pp. February.
