Amazake - Fermented Sweetness
My new E Cookbook - Save our Ostriches - Protect the Porkies
One of my favorite sweeteners is Amazake. Made from fermented sweet brown rice, it will satisfy your sweet tooth and fulfill your search for a healthy sweetener. Far superior to intensely sweet alternative sweeteners that are not energetically compatible with our energy. The complex, slowly digested naturally sweet, fermented malted beverage, Amazake, has a peaceful energy that is more compatible with our energy.
What is Amazake?
Amazake is a natural sweetener made from brown rice. It is a slowly absorbed complex carbohydrate fermented food.
It usually takes one or two days to prepare. Sweet brown rice is mixed with water and koji. Koji is brown rice inoculated with Aspergillus oryzae. This mixture is allowed to ferment, then blended, filtered or diluted to make a naturally sweet, somewhat thick, pulpy liquid.
Amazake, like brown rice syrup, is predominantly maltose. Maltose is the type of sugar that is created from whole grains. I use the word ‘sugar’ to describe the sweet substance in amazake. It is not the same as white sugar. Some people get confused about that.
Maltose will never spike your blood sugar levels. Sweeteners made from whole grains, have a gentler, more balanced energy release as they are digested. This does not disrupt your metabolism. Unlike intense sweeteners that are not energetically compatible with our energy and will disrupt your metabolism.
Because amazake comes from brown rice, a complex carbohydrate, it digests slowly, usually one to two hours. This can give your body a prolonged energy source without the immediate blood sugar rush that will happen with other sweeteners.

Update on Save Our Ostriches:
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has ordered the culling of 400 ostriches at Universal Ostrich Farm in British Columbia, citing concerns over H5N1 bird flu. However, this decision is not based on sound science and could have serious consequences for both food security and medical research.
Here is an interview with the owner of the Ostrich farm and explains exactly what happened and what is happening with the Ostriches now.

Update on Protect the Porkies:
Tom Grotewohl (the founder of Protect the Porkies) and his wife, Sol have this amazing, inspiring, awesome book they have been working on for four years. I want to share it with all of you. This is a quote from Tom:
“So, my wife Sol and I are releasing a graphic novel, epic poem, and art book dedicated to the adventures of our border collie mutt Reynard in his quest to find the real world Nature Channel. In addition to being a thinly-veiled metaphor for our actual lives, the book is intended to help young readers, or the child within us all, reconnect with our outer and inner Natures. You can learn all about it here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/.../reynard-the-house-wolf
We're self-publishing the book using Kickstarter to raise funds for printing and shipping. You can pre-order your copy today. The campaign will only run for 35 days — ending on April 22nd, which happens to be both Earth Day and Reynard's 5th birthday — and if we don't reach our goal, we don't receive any funds and the book doesn't get printed. But I'm quite certain we'll reach the goal with your help.”

I'd like to opt out of your "our" ("intense sweeteners that are not energetically compatible with our energy") because amazaké is far too sweet for me. It does give me a "blood sugar rush", even more than white sugar does.
