Making “Amaranth” a staple food in our diet is a clever choice. This tiny grain contains a high quality protein, an array of “B” vitamins, a big load of iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, zinc, calcium and potassium. Amaranth grain is outstandingly rich in lysine, an amino acid that most grains lack. It is also a gluten-free grain, especially beneficial to people with gluten allergies.

Why buy processed cereals? It’s so easy to make our own from scratch and, in addition, they’re more nutritious. The Mesquite, naturally low in sugars, counterbalances the ratio of the two amino-acids, arginine and lysine.

Minimize our Ecological Footprint!
Most laundry detergents are petroleum-based, using up a non-renewable resource. Many of them are not readily biodegradable and when they are in the waste stream, they may take a long time to break down. One remedy is to make our own laundry soap with eco-friendly products instead of commercial detergents.

Laundry Soap Ingredients:
Soap Flakes: 2 cups
Washing Soda: 1 cup
Borax: 1 cup

Mix all the dry ingredients together and stir well. Ready to use.
For very hard water, add more washing soda.
If someone prefers to add a scent, we suggest to add organic essential oils at the time of washing. So we can change the fragrance of each laundry load if we want to!

Even with the cost of incorporating all of the above ingredients, doing your laundry this way is still more economical than conventional methods! Also, never forget to dry your clothes in the sun whenever possible; on top of being cheaper, the sunshine is the oldest and best natural bleach and disinfectant available.
