Halal Vinegar Technology
Procedure:
Extremely simple yet requiring perseverance and patience are the demands of the home vinegar making process. A single batch takes 2-3 months to be made. One of the reasons for introducing “revival of simplicity” was to inculcate general awareness about vinegar making. Vinegar making had been a practice amongst the companions of the prophet. While there has been some slight awareness developing in the western world about benefits of traditional ferments, efforts still need to be made to bring them to forefront. The prejudicial pharmaceutical lobbying and allopathic garb is very difficult to pe*****te. Info:http://www.tibbenabawi.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=239&Itemid=77
Hug To Poor And Hungry:
To a vinegar enthusiast a soft fruit is not a spoilt fruit. The pulp, scraps, skins, cores and even the seeds dip down in the sugar solution. The recipe is extremely forgiving. If there’s no mold on your fruit, it could be used for vinegar making. If natural fruit vinegar is given and its procedure is taught to the poor, they could be saved from extreme hunger and disease if only temporarily. Homemade vinegar has a beautiful taste. If used as a condiment, unlike other curries, a little quantity is enough to bring satiety (approx. 2 tbs per indian chopati). There’s no storage problem since the vinegar doesn’t spoil without refrigeration. Infact it protects other food from spoiling aswell! The mother that forms on live vinegar could be used as culture for making further vinegar. Since, we have abandoned the use of vinegar as an essential condiment in our own homes, the poor suffer the knowledge gap and a “custom” gap. The tradition of taking vinegar with bread has almost become extinct due to which many poor people who could have by simple learning of halal vinegar technology actively fought poverty to some extent, lie dependant on supplies of heavy pills and “normal” food. There’s virtually no awareness of simple to make super foods such as vinegar among the masses for them to benefit from it. Acceptance is a step after awareness! All suggestions about practically introducing the technique of halal vinegar making to those suffering famine and general poverty are sincerely welcomed!
