I always use unsalted butter. You can always add salt, but you can't take it out. I find that recipes (esp. baked goods) made with salted butter are often too salty for my taste.

Because the amount of salt in salt butter far exceeds the amount you would add. Also, unsalted butter has a fresher, more delicious flavor.

There are numerous rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs throughout the Holy Cross District that offer great fishing during all four seasons for cold-water species such as rainbow trout, brown trout, brook trout, and native cutthroat trout. The District office maintains maps and a list of all major bodies of water in the area with details on productiveness, fish species, and access. Local fly-shops are an invaluable source for tips, gear, required fishing licenses and regulation booklets.

Yes, Nancy's Soy is now a fully vegan product. Previously our Plain soy was sweetened with honey, but now we have switched to Organic agave, making the entire line fully vegan.

Agave is the "blue cactus" that is well known as the source of tequila. It's actually from the lily family, not a cactus at all. The plant has a starchy core which, when crushed, releases enzymes that convert starch to a simple sugar. The sugar is then boiled to form a syrup (much like the way maple syrup is made). We use this pure organic agave syrup to sweeten some of our soy yogurts. It has a light taste and registers very low on the glycemic index.

The natural flavor is a starter distillate. Starter distillate is a steam distillate of a culture grown on a skim milk medium which has been fortified with .01% citric acid. The culture could be one of the following: Streptococcus lactis, S. cremoris, S. lactis Subsp, Diactylactis, or Lueconostoc. (These are cultures that can also be found in kefir) According to our butter maker, distillate give the butter an old-fashioned tang, without having to sour the cream to achieve it. [back to top]

Organic waste can be recycled for our benefit, placing it in the landfill only fills up our landfills. We know how costly and complicated it is to site landfills. Organic waste placed in landfills produces methane gas, which contributes to global warming unless it is collected and utilized.

We give our highest possible recommendation to the book Nourishing Traditions, written by Sally Fallon of the Weston A. Price Foundation. This book goes well beyond the conventional cookbook. It is a comprehensive compendium of information about food and health issues, with a focus on the whole, natural foods emphasized by traditional cultures throughout thousands of years. It is a book that may revolutionize all your thinking about diet and health.

Hetch Hetchy could be the more natural twin to Yosemite Valley. Commercial uses could be much more limited than in Yosemite. There will be campgrounds and trails in and near the Valley, such as at the existing City of San Francisco facilities above the reservoir. Access for disabled persons will be provided, and such activities as kayaking, fishing, rafting, rock climbing, and hiking will be allowed and encouraged. Native American cultural interpretive opportunities will also be in place.

Organic foods taste better! Organic plants are grown in soil that hasn't had the natural plant foods leeched out by chemicals and unnatural farming methods. And animals eat only organically-grown feed. Safer, more natural inputs equals tastier, more nutritious food.

Organic fertilizers come from sustainable, renewable sources, such as alfalfa and other natural biological materials, which do not contribute to global warming. When these fertilizers are applied to the soil, they are unlikely to leach into groundwater and are far more likely to improve soil health, fertility, and water retention capacity. Organic fertilizers are like building an annuity for your lawn that will pay you back for many years to come.

Organic food production is based on a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic pesticides and fertilizers. Organic foods are minimally processed without artificial ingredients, preservatives, or irradiation to maintain the integrity of the food. Conventional agricultural methods can cause water contamination.
