Spring is a time of renewal and rebirth. Traditionally it is seen as a time to clean up, re-organize and start fresh. As the re-growth of bulbs and perennial plants start to revive, so should you. Take this time to clean out your pantry and prepare for the growing season.

This year we celebrate mothers everywhere in Canada on Sunday May 8th.  Plan ahead and surprise a mom with something special and show your appreciation.

We owe a lot to our mothers. They provide us with incubation, nourishment, care, and protection. They are profound role models in our lives. When considering the time they spend with us as children, it seems only appropriate that we in turn make simple gestures of gratitude.

This year think of a way you can make a mom feel special.

Fermentation is a process involving a group of microorganisms, primarily bacteria, known as lacto bacilli. These bacteria live in anaerobic environments and go through a metabolic process that converts sugars to lactic acid or alcohol. They are everywhere and humans have a symbiotic relationship with these bacteria. They make it possible to grow food, assist us to digest food and we in turn act as an incubator for these bacteria.
