I did state in the vid that biovela isn’t Latvian, I’ve done lots of other vids of popular products (including Latvian recipes) it’s just what I find new in the supermarket right now.

@@BalticHomesteaders Yep, you did state that. And this is my first time seeing you, so i quickly wrote my piece, not knowing if you have tried other stuff. But 0 hate from me, i'm just passionate about food and when i see someone tasting our food and picking the worst products to represent that, i need to say something. Best of luck!

@Samagoselen maybe this vid is better for you:- 10 Unique Latvian Food & Drink Products You Must Try ruclips.net/video/MLukGuaviXw/видео.html

Yes we’re not far, between Valmiera and Rūjiena :)

If I didn’t like them I wouldn’t feature them, it’s like my seal of approval :) I could probably do a video on my preferences or perhaps my five loves and five ‘no way’ like cold soup 😂 To be honest my ‘no ways’ are more governed by my own weird food preferences rather than Latvian food.

It is what it is but plenty of ‘real food’ recipes on my channel…

Hey that’s great. Latvian countryside summers don’t lend themselves to carnivore so I was more Keto with the odd cheat but am looking forward to getting back into it this winter. I wish there was more beef here in Latvia. I’ve kept my weight loss off though.

Already done a video on it :) Latvian Maizes Zupa Recipe Explained | How To ruclips.net/video/QuWNJnHMmt4/видео.html

Not a dumb question at all. Basically there’s nothing to pollinate over hard winter. All that we grow in there is self pollinating or doesn’t need pollination (brassicas and salads). The problem is more one of lack of light than heat.

@@BalticHomesteaders makes sense! Do you know how you would pollinate over the winter if you had a plant that wasn’t self pollinating?

@@keiferrogers9043 use a fine small paintbrush (art) and rub pollen about.

Have you ever tried it? Actually it not exactly juice, it is like kind of marinade, like pickles have, say cucumbers in marinade, if you like vinegar, this is ok.

@@BoneyMB No, I do not like sauerkraut at all and am not a fan of vinegar either. I’m sure it is good for you, though.

@@BoneyMB There is no vinegar in sauerkraut. it is a fermented cabbage, fermented in its own juice. The ones with vinegar are fake.

This was really salty there was no vinegar in it.

Yes I have some cake / bakery type vids on my list.

@@BalticHomesteaders will have a look

@@laurastrele on my list to do :) But there are a few cake vids.

How long have you been abroad?

it used to be sold as side produkt in market from big barrels of sauerkraut. 10 kopiks per glass. Now it is fancy product.😂

@@BoneyMB it is very smart marketing turning side product to premium

@@craizytvboomb7779 Yes, that's why for me, when I saw this little bottle it was almost hilarious laughing. I would'n say it is bad stuff, I like it myself, but at the end of a day it is what's left in barrel, when you have sold the product, sauerkraut in this case.

It’s the best isn’t it!

best ones

Prefer the classics- vanilla with chocolate coating and chocolate one

Most of central and true eastern Europe eats horse which is why it’s probably mentioned a lot…

@@BalticHomesteaders Theres horse meat floating around for time to time but it MUST be labaled if anything contains it. There has been times where horse meat has been discovered from some products and there were alot of angry ppl around... even got to the news so yes, in general people do not eat horses around here. I feel like its more of a slavic thing!

@@rockmcdwayne1710 France, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Spain etc all eat horse none of them Slavic. I guess the funny thing is the UK where I’m from also doesn’t eat it.

Thank you :)

Interesting, is this a black tea, a. It like bergamot to make Earl Grey? Might give that a try.

@@BalticHomesteaders I cut it into green tea. Thin slices. It gives a great aroma and a lemon taste.

Am not a big fish fan unless it’s in batter and deep fried :)

Godīgi sakot nezinu, bet domāju, ka nē

Did I call the sliced meat salami? Slip of the tongue if I did, I need to come back to get more meats :)

Thanks. Seeds from Estonia or Latvia either online or shops. Most materials you can get locally or online. I do have some electric fencing but it’s not in use at the moment.

Since this video I’ve built a fence around it all. A bear came once and destroyed a bee hive, not seen any wolves but they are about. We don’t have livestock (yet) that wolves would be interested in.

Hi, welcome. I’m married to a Latvian it’s her inheritance. We came here to care for her parents.

I need to do a new vid as I’ve seen new flavours about, what are your favourite chips now?

@@BalticHomesteaders that would be cool :) Estrella sour cream onion and dill ones are to die for. Lays cheese and especially creamy forest mushroom ones are amazing. All these I had in Latvia back then, but now I live in Guernsey and I have to order them online for crazy prices... We have a small Latvian shop here, but there's pretty much only Ādažu crisps here, which I don't like anymore :(

It’s still being used now if that helps.

@@BalticHomesteaders oh nice… certainly going to try making it… I was actually trying to see if I could find homemade suramin for Autism… see if I can make something similar to the ones we’re the children speak in sentences for the first time after trying out the medication… ive 3 severely autistic non verbal grandchildren and 3 mild autistic grandchildren.. 2 of these have adhd aswell as autism - so I’m looking for natural cures…so if anyone has any suggestions or know of anything that may help their moods or calms the frustrations that sometimes comes with a touch of violence, this will help all the families of those with these conditions whether it be mild or severe… much appreciated for any help or advice in advance… and much appreciated for this gorgeous looking recipe which il be trying myself… thankyou for taking the time in replying… enjoy the rest of your day… kind regards to all…🙏

What should be in English?

@@BalticHomesteaders description on package, to get what are you eating :)

@@marekmadisoo9671 oh I see, that’s no fun :)

Not that I’m aware of, they’re pretty sour so need something to sweeten them and the sugar of course is a way to extract the flavour. Salt would have a similar effect but not really edible :) Possibly pickling them?

@@BalticHomesteaders Thank you, I will see what I can do with these.

I don’t see why not but there probably are better ways to consume calcium for humans.

I do have most of the data via independent sensors but the core monitoring stuff had some problems (detailed on another vid) but this winter I’m building a V2 which will solve those problems. I would however be surprised if it’s a low co2 problem. I have SwitchBot temp/himid/vpd sensors and data for this year from inside, outside and inside the other greenhouse. I’ve not worked out a way to plot it nicely and in a useful way from the csv dump the app gives - any suggestions?

@@BalticHomesteaders I use AC Infinity controllers, they have CSVs to export. But if your not using a controller like that. Pulse pro is awesome it measures temp, humid VPD plotting, co², light sensor, can create ppfd maps on just the single unit. There is a whole pulse eco system for hydromitors etc. Some people even share a live link so people can have a look at your enviroment. Niwa power board controllers are a cheaper handy option. Its a smart multiboard that has two USB ports for probes. I've seen very clever chaps setting up custom SBCs with their own code, by far the cheapest & easiest to power. By far the most advanced. I've never dived into it more than a couple of evenings reading up on it. Depends on what you want to achieve and how much time and money you want to invest. Are you going to: run supplimental light, CO², heating or dehu, automated watering, mechanical ventilation, geothermal (water or air) do you have mains power or solar. Or just want to data log?

@craigdawson7632 sorry for confusion, I have the data logs via csv I need a way to display the data in a way that can be examined like in the app - zoom In and out etc. I’ve looked online and couldn’t find anything that could handle big data (data points every 10 minutes). Lots could display it to look pretty for presentations but not examine it (drill down) in finer detail and add things like moving averages. If you look at some of my smart greenhouse vids you can see my current set up but that’s going to be upgraded with a new setup linked to a raspPI4 and home automation, been using old Rpi and node red but had connection issues as discussed in my failures vid. If you ping me an email (about us tab) I’m happy to share screenshots of the graph data. I always wanted to make the data shared but have struggled to find a way to do that, maybe home automation with some add on will make that doable.

@@BalticHomesteadersI don't have any ideas on apps sorry. It's another cost for something you have setup, but easy. If you get a pulse or pulse pro you can share live the data, hosted from their site so it even insulates your network. Call it a work cost.

I maybe missed it but it’s on screen at 6:20 towards the end of the vid. Thanks, happy baking :)
