Kamut Recipes
Roberto Said:
What would be the best healthy flour to use in this cookie recipe?We Answered:
Sweetie,i would suggest using all purpose.Which,would mean you would need to add the salt,baking powder etc etc.I would say all purpose,because then all the ingredients such as salt,you would control.Self rising already includes those ingredients.I would use all purposed,that is generally the flour you use for cookies.Good luck hun and have a good day!Ted Said:
Flour question for muffins?We Answered:
Personally to get a better flavour I would combine all of them that way you cant go wrong. Dont add too much butter or they will fall apart, get crumbly. It has to fairly thick and smooth so It will rise and be nice and fluffy.**Everett Said:
Does anyone know good Kamut recipes?We Answered:
I would imagine you could make kamut for anything you would normally put rice or other grains. Try making a stirfry and put it over kamut instead of rice.Hope that helps!

Odd! In your question you removed your said your doctor had advised you not to eat those foods???Maybe your doctor could put you in touch with a support group!
Foods to Eat For a Healthy Thyroid
Basically, your strategy should be to eat foods rich in iodine. If you eat seaweeds, try making a salad out of that at least twice a week. Or, you could try salad preparations from raw asparagus tips, leaf (not head) lettuce, goat cheese, avocado and green peppers. Add salmon or tuna to give the salad more body.
Kelp is one of the most widely used seaweed species. It is used in a variety of food products. If you can get kelp leaves in your diet, they would give you the iodine that is so necessary for the thyroid to perform its functions.
Your thyroid also needs a number of minerals for its functions, especially copper and iron. Oysters and clams have been found rich in copper and, being seafood, also provide iodine. Sunflower seeds and nuts like cashew and almonds also come with copper, as do foods made from whole grains, like brown rice.
Dark green, leafy vegetables like spinach, horse radish, and watercress are rich in many minerals, zinc, magnesium, calcium and iron. When eating foods rich in iron, you can help your body increase its iron absorption capacity by also eating foods with vitamin C, like citrus fruits, tomatoes and bell peppers.
Foods to Avoid
Some foods contain substances that appear to impede the functions of the thyroid gland. These foods are helpful for some other purposes in the body, but thyroid patients may want to minimise their intake of these foods, at least until their thyroid condition has been stabilized. Foods like cauliflower, broccoli and Brussels sprouts are said to contain these goitrogens. Canola oil, soy and peanuts, as well as cabbage and kale may need to be avoided.
Sparmonic i certainly didnt recommend that you eat fish, the information was taken off a medical site that i found when researching!
Although it does sound contradictory to what you Doctor told you! Maybe do what i suggested on your deleted message and change your doctor!
good luck!

Best gluten-free flour for baking?We Answered:
First of all, kamut, spelt and rye are NOT gluten free. Kamut and spelt are types of wheat and rye is one of the three cereal grains that contains gluten.I am attaching a reference to a very good article about gluten free flours and their properties. My best experiences have been with a combination of brown rice, millet and quinoa flours with some xanthum gum added to help stabilize it. Also almond flour is good to use as part of the flour mix for baked sweet goods for the flavor.
The second reference is one of the best bread recipes I have tried. I use quinoa in place of the oatmeal.
