WEEKLY NEWS
Wholly Macro has recently acquired a new addition to the family. Its name is Irish Moss. And no, we are not referring to the stray cat that we have decided to give safe haven from the mean streets of the city to in our yard.
Some of you have seen the cat when coming by for a consult, a cooking class, a shiatsu session, or to pick up your food.
We like the cat. It is fun and helpful, and yes, even a little bit cute, and it keeps the yard insect and rodent free (we hope).
But no, Irish Moss is a new variety of seaweed that we were recently introduced to and have decided to add to our menus.
And while it does grow in Ireland, thus the Irish, fortunately for all of us, it grows off the coast of the North Eastern United States as well.
You will see it listed in the contents of the miso soups for now, unless and until we figure out additional uses for it, possibly in sauces and desserts.
It is pretty much flavorless in that you won't notice that it is there taste wise.
It was and still is traditionally used as a thickener. A processed (and not nearly as healthy) derivative of it is called carrageenan. You may have seen this listed as an ingredient in some of the products that you buy in the grocery store such as salad dressing, rice dream and regular ice cream, and many other commercial food products as well.
But the Irish Moss that we have acquired is the real deal. It is not processed, and is a whole food, not just a carrageenan derivative.

It melts when cooked, somewhat similar to agar agar. So by the time you receive the soup it will have merged with the soup broth, adding a slightly thickened consistency. But unlike agar agar, it thickens into a creamy velvety texture, while agar thickens into a solid gel.
We decided to incorporate it into our menus after finding out that not only is it available to us via our seaweed connection in Maine, but that it has valuable healing properties as well.
Irish Moss was traditionally used to treat respiratory problems, from as simple as irritating coughs and bronchitis, to as serious and debilitating as TB and pneumonia.
It has also been found to be very helpful in treating digestive conditions such as IBS in all of it's varying forms, such as gastritis, ulceration of the stomach and duodenum, and Crohn's.
We find it interesting that in Traditional Oriental Medicine the lungs and large intestine are an organ pair, and that Irish Moss' healing properties focus on and support both of these important bodily organs.

The soothing action of Irish Moss may also be helpful in treating inflammation of the urinary system.
And if that isn't enough, recent research has found that Irish Moss has immune system boosting and anti-viral properties as well, making it helpful in treating shingles and herpes, possibly some strains of influenza, and who knows what else. More research still needs to be done.
We strive to use as many healing foods as we possibly can here at Wholly Macro, flavorfully and tastefully packing them into each and every Wholly Macro menu that we create each week, which is why we are so pleased with our latest acquisition.

Wakame and Irish Moss |
We just don't see how we can go wrong in using yet another super food / miracle of nature.
It is such fun for us to discover exciting new food items and to be able to share them with you!
Which is why we are so grateful that we have been turned on to Irish Moss' existence and that it is available to us in such a pure and energetic form.
We hope that you enjoy the nice menu that we have for you this week as much as we have enjoyed planning it for you!!
May health, happiness, and prosperity be your unavoidable natural state and your ongoing daily experience.

**Wholly Macro makes every attempt to maintain a totally vegan and allergen free kitchen cooking environment. We make every effort to avoid any type of cross contamination during food preparation. Most foods used in the Wholly Macro kitchen are not packaged, but instead are bought in the produce section or in bulk. But as you know, cross contamination is always a possibility, especially with bulk items. And in the few packaged foods that we do use, such as nut butters for example, it is common to find warnings on the manufacturer label stating that the item was processed in a plant that handles tree nuts, soy, wheat, dairy, gluten, shellfish, and so on.
Wholly Macro cannot be responsible for trace amounts of common food allergens that come from outside (packaged or bulk items), and therefore end up occurring within our prepared foods. Please use your own discretion in determining if our food is appropriate for your consumption, especially if you have severe food allergies.
We are always available to clarify any of the ingredients that we use, and assist you in your weekly selections, but we cannot keep track of your food allergies, sensitivities, likes, dislikes or preferences.
Please call or email prior to ordering if you need further information or clarification.

Here's some feedback from a consultation client..... " three years ago I discovered that I had breast cancer. I had heard of Macrobiotics years ago. I didn't understand the concept but immediately I knew that that would be the route that I would pursue. But where to go and who to see was the question. Thank God for reading the macrobiotic newsletter. For in the newsletter there was an article about Gayle Stolove. I just felt her strength and passion burn through the page that I was reading. I immediately made an appointment to see her and although I was still so frightened, I felt so comfortable talking with Gayle. Gayle guided me through the whole process. I thought that the macrobiotic way of life would be boring and just eating rice. Well, I love the foods that I eat and I just feel good about it all. You see, after the surgery, you are sort of left on your own.You have to make your own decisions, etc. Everyone gives you different advice as what to eat, what to do, etc. Doctors don't understand what the patient is going through nor do they understand what kind of diet they should follow. I adopted Gayle as my guardian angel. You can't find that with any nutritionist or doctor. I love receiving her weekly e-mailed newsletters. They are so full of wonderful knowledge and beautiful healthy recipes. Gayle is a remarkable human being. She truly cares for her clients and gives them her all, one hundred percent of the time. Gayle has been there and therefore she is so compassionate and dedicates her life to helping people like me....." a cancer survivor |
