"Great Depression-era Meals We Will Be Eating Again If Things Don’t Change"
Most of these recipes provide good nutrition, especially relative to modern foods.
However, many of the desserts need serious nutrition upgrade! In this modern era,
new plant-based foods are available that provide less expensive nutrition than
what's touted online as gourmet recipes.

Re: UB Cookin'
Research to find alternatives to expensive probiotics ...
Re: https://www.perplexity.ai/
Q: Which are more important: prebiotics or probiotics?
"Prebiotics are generally considered more important than probiotics for maintaining a healthy gut microbiome. Here's why: Prebiotics act as food for the beneficial bacteria (probiotics) already present in the gut. They help these good bacteria thrive and multiply. Probiotics alone have a hard time surviving and colonizing the gut without adequate prebiotics to feed on.
Prebiotics are also more robust than probiotic supplements. Many probiotic strains get destroyed by stomach acid before reaching the intestines. In contrast, prebiotics pass through the digestive system intact to nourish the existing gut microbiota. While probiotic foods and supplements can be beneficial, their effects are often temporary if prebiotics are lacking in the diet. The probiotic bacteria struggle to establish themselves without a consistent prebiotic food source.
For these reasons, experts recommend focusing on getting enough prebiotics from foods like onions, garlic, bananas, asparagus, and whole grains to support the growth of your body's native beneficial bacteria. Probiotic supplements can then provide an additional boost, but prebiotics are the key to maintaining a diverse and robust gut microbiome long-term."
Q: Are green bananas a good prebiotic?
"Yes, green bananas are an excellent prebiotic food source. Here's why: Green bananas are rich in resistant starch, which acts as a prebiotic by feeding the beneficial bacteria in the gut. Resistant starch passes through the small intestine undigested and reaches the colon intact, where it promotes the growth of healthy gut microbiota.
Studies have shown that the resistant starch in green banana flour can help restore gut microbiota balance and improve intestinal barrier function after antibiotic-induced dysbiosis in mice. The prebiotic effects accelerated microbiome recovery compared to natural recovery alone.
The prebiotic fiber in green bananas also provides food for probiotic bacteria like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli to thrive. This synbiotic combination of prebiotics and probiotics supports a diverse, robust gut microbiome. Additionally, the pectin fiber in green bananas acts as a prebiotic by nourishing the beneficial gut bacteria that feed on it in the colon. This helps maintain a healthy gut environment.
So in summary, the high amounts of resistant starch, prebiotic fiber, and pectin make green bananas an excellent prebiotic food choice for promoting a balanced, well-nourished gut microbiome."

Re: UB Cookin'
Thanks, Rod for the great post on Prebiotic and gut health. I am going to look online for igreen banana flour a little later today.
I'd like to start some asparagus here at the house too. George and I had a little patch at our flat in Australia. We both loved the stuff.
