I thought this video might be a ‘downer’ but it is not. Your information is right and I’m with you on all of these.
Good job I agree with you one hundred percent on all the foods you mentioned and I’m behind you all the way I stoped buying those too
That jam you pointed out that you buy is so much more expensive but OMG SO WORTH IT! And it lasts long 'cos you don't need a lot per sandwich or toast.
Thank you for this and spreading the word. I stopped buying these things YEARS ago. So easy to make salad dressing and much cheaper. I love Dave's Killer bread when I need a fill in for my homemade bread- I make 3 loaves at a time and freeze the rest. I NEVER buy pre-cut fruit for yhe exact reason you stated. I cut everything myself for my platters- and in season fruit. Thank you for the terrific video!!
I agree with most of these, but find that in general pasta sauce needs a bit of sugar. I actually was bewildered when I first tried Raos because it was all acid and couldn't figure out why everyone raved about it. Depending on how sweet the tomato products you use are, a bit of sugar balances the acidity of the sauce. Of course I prefer to control this on my own vs buying store bought sauces, but zero sugar in a red sauce tastes bad to me in most cases
I've started using sweet paprika as a balancing ingredient instead of sugar. You can stir it right at the end of the cooking too, adjusting the quantity as you like. And it's red 😀👍🇬🇧
Homemade pasta sauce is generally how I go. I rarely buy the jarred stuff, and when I do it’s mostly the convenience factor
Save money on the $8 jar of Rao's and pay for better eco friendly tuna. Unbelievable that tuna is so dirt cheap in the US.
On the cucumber front, we changed to cocktail cukes. Makes it quick to use only what’s needed.
Cranberry sauce is so easy in the Instant Pot. I made mine that way this year and I'll never buy canned again.
Apples: Braeburn and Gala and Pink lady are all full of flavour and juiciness, I know because I'm a Horticulturist b6 trade and the first 2 are very old varieties which I know very well and only buy them unless other old types are being sold, good luck but please try these varieties, they are the best, better than Golden delicious etc 🎅🙂😷, Oh yes, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL
Does Redman have iodine? I just worry about thyroid health without it
I love pickling cucumbers! I peel in strips and they turn out so good!
We make our own tomato sauce for Italian nights, so easy! Tomato puree, diced tomatoes, garlic onion and herbs. Delish!
"this salt actually has minerals, it's very healthy for you" is a myth.
If one prefers one type of salt because of texture or taste ok but to say that they are more healthy is untrue, generally the amount of other minerals in salt are so little that they are nutritionally negligeable. Idk about this salt specifically but stuff like Himalayan salt are a marketing scam.
Some very smart and healthy tips. Thank you for sharing.❤
Great video! I just found your channel and am excited about trying so many recipes. One note from a geeky scientist… be careful to watch your diet for sufficient iodine intake if you aren’t using iodized salt, especially if you are pregnant, vegetarian or vegan. They started adding iodine to table salt in the 1920s because so many people were iodine deficient. Most people do not realize how important iodine is to many aspects of their health.
My thyroid started malfunctioning and I was diagnosed with mild hashimoto's disease (low thyroid). I started doing research and realized that a couple/few years before I switched to sea salt as a healthier option to iodized salt - which sounds great until I realized I wasn't getting iodine anywhere else in my diet. I have since switched back to iodized salt and now have healthy numbers in my thyroid panel again. :)
@@beths8998 Why not just add seaweed to your dishes or just eat some seaweed. Most seafoods also have iodine, esp. shrimp. Eggs are another good source.
@@2bczar4u thank you for the idea. I did not consider that. I just knew that the iodized salt contained it and was readily available/cheap.
I made a double batch of your Instant Pot cranberry sauce......it was gone in four days! Also, another reason for making your on anything, besides the sugar, is that so many items contain more salt than we should have.
I have also either substituted the itmes you listed or I never bought it in the first place....the one item I've thought about are the long slender cucumbers.... Next time I'll try those...thanks for the video
I soooo agree with you on many of these. I wish I had never given in to my kids and husband! I still buy some of these because, well, kids and husband LOL. I try to avoid canola oil, sugar, corn syrup, HFCS/G-F. I was so disappointed to see Campbell's tomato soup has glucose-fructose (HFCS). It's terrible for us, it's really damaging our livers. And it's in everything.
Thanks so much for sharing! It'll am more careful as I'm hearing 70 about what goes in to my body. I try to only eat non GMO foods.
try shopping at Trader Joes, they don't carry GMO products.
The only thing i look for in the ads is bananas. I buy a 40 lb box at a decent price and slice into quart freezer bags, then put those into a gallon freezer bag. A ready dessert or addition to hot Oatmeal. You can mix with fresh frozen apples from your tree and fresh frozen peaches or plums...all from your own trees. We top with a bit of whipped cream or warmed organic nut butter that freezes on impact! You can eat thatnor use as a topping for whole homemade pancakes. Toss in a little tapioca flour to make pancakes a little chewy. That fruit combo alone is especially good in summer. You can blenderized them for a smoothie or just banana for soft ice cream. Thank you for helping so many!
Bananas- lot of carbs & sugar😊
Thanks LiLi. Great video!
I totally get that with the bread. In the US they put super weird stuff in there, if you have ever been to europe and walk through the bread isle just the smell of the the bread there is totally different , american bread isles make me feel nauseous .
These are all good ideas. Yes, the ice cream/Hersheys is a thing. Haha. I would try the English cucumbers if they caused less burping. Regular cucumbers make me burp. Thanks.
Get a Freeze Dryer and you can make your own fruit snacks. I don't buy spaghetti sauce. I make my own which is tons better than store bought.
The Costco Strawberry Jam is ridiculous! So good and only 4 ingredients, to me it tastes like a homemade freezer jam.
What did one pickle say to the other? Dill with it.
I’ve stopped buying 3/4 of my groceries bc of inflation and a disability income 😭😭
I do love your shows though. I won’t cut those out
Apples are often just dipped in salt water for a few minutes. That's what prevents browning. It is supposed to rinse the apples off afterward. If the preparation is lazy, they simply dip them and package them. There isn't any chemical people are using to prevent apples from browning. It's just salt water or a light poaching- a practice used for centuries.
Thank you. This was very helpful
Instead of buying bread, I make waffles. I also have the Presto Stuffler. Many of the reasons I hate white bread. 1. It sticks to the roof of my mouth. 2. No nutritional value. You can actually take a rolling pin and and squash it. It’s full of air. Here on RUclips I found oatmeal waffle recipes.
Oatmeal Waffles
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups rolled Oatmeal
1 ripe banana or any fruit you want
+ 2 1/2 cups of water
Great video, l completely agree with you about this list. Thank you!!
No Frankenstein ingredients. No High Fructose Corn Sweeteners for instance.
I would like to see you go into items that you don’t buy in the refrigerated section😊
I agree with you 100%!! Thank you for this video.❤
Totally agree with you. I love tuna but the store brands are gross. I spend the money to get local canned tuna which is very clean and environmentally good. Although I do like the tuna from Costco. Dave's bread is my go to bread, thin sliced. Even my doctor said that if I need to eat bread that is a good brand. Lots of good stuff in it.
I make my own ketchup, soups, butter, spaghetti sauce, Alfredo sauce, burritos, I buy the basic foods and make my own I try to not buy prepared foods, too many chemicals and sugar, GMO. I make my own jelly too.
I can't stand the smell of canned tuna but my husband and I both love to eat it. I buy the tuna packed in water.
I use Saltines instead of bread . They have a lot less ingredients and no sugar !
Wait a minute if you were buying tuna that was $.69 a can I think I can guess why you don’t like tuna. That is the cheapest most dead dreadful tuna you can buy and yeah it’s going to taste like something that died a week ago. As the old adage says you get what you pay for.
Wow we r same same….I never buy those and not even processed food….
But cab tuna my fav…I make kabab or makes yammy with rice….I buy with water….now expensive…..
i use real salt also...cuz i make ferments
Thanks. Make your own whole wheat bread and use a little molasses....you will NEVER buy bread again. I used a bosch bread maker. I could never get it right before that. But then i discovered i have celiac. I sure miss that great bread. Also getting pre cut foods is a big risk of food poisoning and illness that is currently in your community. Using an instapot pressure cooker kills all the germs. It lasts longer for great left overs and saves vitamins. Salt is a killer for me. When you stop using salted and sugared foods, you do get used to it. Food yeast helps with salty flavoring. Then when you eat processed foods, you do not even like it. If you must, dilute with whole foods to perk the flavor and cut the salt and sugar. I add almond and tapioca flour to packaged gluten free brownies. You are definitely on the right track!
Oh I agree. I only buy & for year's now is Newman's Own dressings and other products are good. & still consistent even though Mr.Newman has been gone for many years now. & it supports charities he believed in .
I would research oils. Canola oil is heated which is not good for your body. Cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, coconut and avocado oil is so much better for your body. ❤
Coconut oil is not particularly healthy to consume. It’s mostly saturated fat which isn’t heart-healthy. Canola oil is actually a much healthier choice, according to dietitians, and a great oil for cooking due to its high smoke point. Look for cold-pressed canola oil, which is a good source of Vitamin E. Other healthier choices are olive, avocado, and peanut oils.
Coconut oil is not saturated fat - comes from a plant not animal fat - misleads people bcs it solidifies at room temperature & people equate that with solid animal fat😊
I used to buy packaged cake & brownie mixes - prices have risen so much for these convenience foods that if u pre make big batches of these mixes yourself ( check RUclips) you can save a lot of money because you have to add milk & eggs to these mixes from yr pantry😊- you are basically paying outrageous prices for mostly sugar & flour !
FCS...is in everything....it s a cheap sweetner...and addictive....took me forever to give up cokes....drinking more water..unsweetened tea...unsweetened gatoraid...
I heard if you mix tuna with vinegar or lemon juice, it helps with the smell
Any quick and easy chicken bone broth in the instantpot videos coming up?
I only buy Victoria, tomato sauces, rather marinaras. I don’t like the other commercial tomato sauces/marinaras because you’re too sweet, Victoria does not add any additional sugar. Of course, I could always make tomato sauce, but I find that I’m just a little bit too lazy.😊
Good reasons not to buy!! We are doing the same!
Good job
Freezer jam?
I found this video interesting, most of the stuff you don't buy anymore I never bought as I'm vegan and make a lot of things from scratch. It's always best to buy wholesome whole fruits and vegetables and not those precut things. We live in a society of quick n fast n that's what the sellers feed off of that. So good for you for improving your buying habits leading to healthier living.
Tomato and spaghetti sauces need some sugar for flavor. Garlic and onion elevates the sauce. I guess everyone seasons to their taste.
When I grocery shopping I like to look for something different to try and eat just be positive and do something new. Most of the time it's good. Not anchovies yuck .
OK either the coffee aisle or the produce section of the grocery store. Because your assumptions everything in produce aisle is healthy? Coffee ☕️ there's so much stuff.
I love your cabinets color
So summary of your video, dont buy the standard American products which are full of stuff thats either banned or just not used in the uk & Europe because we just wouldn't touch the stuff. It amazes me how much chemicals & corn syrup is in nearly all American foods. Did you know that in Ireland the courts rulled that Subway "bread" isn't bread due to the massive amount of suger that's in it? Obvs white bread is far from healthy but ours doesn't contain the sugar and chemicals that American white bread contains. Also I've NEVER seen your "standard" cucumbers in the uk or mainland Europe "English" cucumbers are our standard and are just called cucumbers. I appreciate that it's REALLY difficult to find corn syrup & chemical free foods in the US & due to your FDAs approach of only banning things proven harmful after its potentially affected thousands, the majority of foods are questionable when seen from a European perspective. So your efforts to protect yourself and your family as well as educate others is admirable.
Cheap salt is good to pour down your drains at night because it tends to prevent clogs and kill drain flies; and if you are poor like me, to flavor your pasta water. Just my two bits.
I make a delicious chicken soup with chicken wings 🤤.
I honestly do not understand why you are so against corn syrup. Please could you explain this for me. Thank you.
The salt you are using may taste better, but it is still mostly sodium, and that’s not good for you. So don’t mislead people by telling them it‘s healthy. It‘s not! I agree with you on most other items, especially cranberry sauce. It’s very little trouble to make your own: Cranberries, water, sugar, boil for 10 -15 minutes, done. You can get cranberries frozen now, so you don’t even have to wash and pick them over.
I don't buy kids cereal anymore
Unfortunately, scammers are now flooding the comment sections of people like you who work hard to get good information to us. I appreciate your videos so much. They are well-produced, timed well, and packed with great ideas. I hope that others, seeing “investment” opportunities do not respond to them. If we ignore them, they may not go away, but at least we won’t contribute to their schemes. Lisa, keep on bringing us those great videos. I always get good advice. I have an index card on the inside of my kitchen cabinet. This serves as a cheat sheet for the things I make most from your videos such as hard-boiled eggs, rice, and chicken dishes.
Instead of using Sugar, why not use Honey ?, I'm Diabetic type 2Diabetes, but I'm learning that Sugar is bad news, so is there a way you can cook without using Sugar and make recipes safer for all of us without fears of putting weight o n or becoming Diabetic which can happen at any age, not just when elderly!?
You should get whole grain not whole wheat. Whole grain is so much better for you.
Gaaack. No wonder you don't like tuna. Buy troll caught albacore from the U.S. Not light or anything else. Most canned tuna in the store has been cold stored for 2-5 years, cooked whole wroth the guts in, bleached with peroxide to get the gray color out of the meat then canned in vegetable broth to add back flavor.
I only make my own tomato sauce.
prego traditional tastes werid anyone noticed it plz tell me why
Lol who buys Wonderbread
It might just be a Walmart thing
"cleaner" 🙄 I really hate that term; it's very pejorative and virtue-signal-y to me. I know you don't intend to be judgmental, but... that word isn't the most useful. it's more of a marketing term. I'm sorry; I do like your videos, but this term hits me wrong.
re: prepared foods -- I don't buy many of them because I have time to make my own, but I know many people don't have time to make homemade chocolate syrup (which is fast and easy, but still requires time and clean-up). some people truly need these foods to survive, and I think it's important not to speak about such foods in a judgmental way (which I've for SURE done in the past).
Don't buy Tuna, even in water. Tuna is a big fish and has more heavy metals & PCB in it. Buy Pink Salmon. It is a smaller fish with lot less metals and PCB's
I have read that Yellowfin is a better option in the tuna category
SMUCKERS = Terrible company, they bought a company from the 1800's from the UK Crosse and Blackwell, great old products and then ran it into the ground and cancelled it, so they can make their terrible terrible low rent jam for 4 year olds and their PB&J. Boycott Smuckers! Love your food reviews!
One note about table salt. Per the CDC, 12% of Americans and 20% of people worldwide are iodine deficient and this is the world's leading cause of preventable mental retardation. Americans' and Europeans' iodine consumption is actually falling, maybe because we are eating more processed food which doesn't use it. Table salt is a really easy way to get your needed iodine so most people should be using it. www.cdc.gov/media/pressrel/ad981001.htm
