Raw Milk - The Best Choice

Raw Milk - The Best Choice. In America over Globally, the unpasteurized milk versus pasteurized milk is hotly debated. Lactose intolerant people who have tried raw milk for the first time have, in some cases, been able to enjoy the milk and studies suggesting consuming raw milk may also aid in the prevention of childhood diseases such as asthma and allergies. Many supporters of unpasteurized milk argue its many health benefits such as milk's valuable nutrients which are destroyed by pasteurization and good bacteria cultures. Pasteurized milk on the other hand requires smaller area of space for cows with grain and no pastures.

In the early 20th century, raw milk was the norm but had fallen out of favour due to the cost to produce it as it requires healthy cows and large pastures. The debate between these two forms of milk has gone on for generations. Cows with other feed such as grains and in less healthy conditions can have milk which is easily contaminated and can cause sickness if consumed raw therefore many of these cows have milk which is pasteurized and therefore kills the bacteria. The key is these cows, and other animals, are kept in good health and have access to grass, their natural diet. As long as the equipment is clean and sterilized and the cows healthy raw milk is not dangerous. The product goes straight from the cow cooled and bottled for distribution. Coming from a variety of milk producing animals (cows and goats), raw milk is unpasteurized milk and comes from animals which are only fed grass and hay (in the winter months when grazing is sometimes not optional). What is raw milk; the term is widespread in use, and likewise its definition varies.

The Myth of Raw Milk

The Myth of Raw Milk. Raw milk is loaded with abundant nutrients including high quality protein, fats, Go figure. A little known fact is that those people who became sick from drinking this type of milk were actually fed clean raw milk from free range healthy cows to ultimately restore their health! At that time, they also didn't understand that the bacteria found in clean healthy raw milk is beneficial to humans, much like the good bacteria, or 'probiotics' found in yogurt.

One thing lead to another, and the consensus of the day was to heat the milk to boiling to reduce the bacteria load. It caused increased infant mortality and created poor health for all who drank it. The whole process of pasteurizing milk only came about because the milk producing cows in the mid to late 1800's were being housed in extremely unsanitary conditions and fed very poor and almost toxic diets which led to milk that was actually blue in color and not fit for consumption. So I'm going to try and shed a little light on the subject, because it is truly one of the healthiest foods you can consume. People have been drinking raw milk from cows, sheep, and goats safely for literally thousands of years throughout human history, many times without the pristine sanitary conditions you will find at America's raw milk facilities.

But don't believe it, because the facts prove otherwise. Many so-called 'experts' say that raw milk is unsafe and drinking pasteurized milk is better for you. It's gotten a lot of bad press over the years, with many people now believing that it is unsanitary and not fit to drink. There is much controversy over the health benefits of raw milk.

In questi giorni, sto provando a cucinare un po' di tutto, dalla pasta alla carne, dalle verdure ai desserts.

Delecius Come si Prepara il Mascarpone 2011

Delecius Come si Prepara il Mascarpone 2011. Le résultat est un régal, un nuage fruité et caressant. Deux conseils classiques mais importants: utilisez des oeufs très frais et laisser reposer le tiramisù plusieurs heures (voire une nuit) afin qu'il se crée un amalgame de saveurs. En outre la particularité de cette recette consiste à préparer un sirop de fruit frais (sans alcool) pour remplacer le café et d'incorporer les fruits directement dans la crème.

On peut aussi réaliser un tiramisù uniquement avec de la ricotta, tout aussi bon mais un peu différent. J'ai préparé plutôt un tiramisù d'été avec les framboises où j'ai mélangé le mascarpone à la ricotta pour plus de légèreté mais en gardant le côté crémeux du mascarpone. En ce qui concerne le nom, qui signifie litéralement remonte-moi », il présente des connotations sensuelles à cause de ses vertus afrodisiaques (?!?) :-D En tous cas, il nous plait sans aucun doute, que ce soit l'original au café ou toutes ses interprétations. Mais il semblerait que le tiramisù en question est plutôt un gâteau moderne inventé dans un restaurant à Trevise après la deuxième guerre mondiale.

Ce type de dessert à base de crème et de biscuits qui lui donnent une structure (comme un peu le trifle anglais), que l'on appelle souvent zuppa (soupe) existe au moins depuis le 17ème siècle. Beaucoup de légendes tournent autour de ce gâteau, on ne sait si ses origines sont toscanes ou de la Vénétie, même si c'est la ville de Trévise (Vénétie) qui revendique sa paternité. Extrêmement gourmand, facile, il se prête à toutes les variations. Enfin un tiramisù, un des desserts italiens, avec la panna cotta, des plus connus au monde.
