Konjaku Noodles go well with many of the recipes in this eBook. They are much a  healthier alternative to grain flour-based pastas. Konjaku noodles are gluten-free, calorie-free, low-carb, high-fiber pasta made from yam flour of the konnyaku imo tuber. 

Grains & Seeds

Gluten-Free Organic Buckwheat Flour: Buckwheat is rich in flavonoids like rutin and a
good source of magnesium, and is good for your cardiovascular system. It's a valuable
food for those with diabetes, as it can be helpful for regulating blood sugar. At BEDROK, we soak our flours in water or young coconut kefir before baking, and we use flour very sparingly (for special occasions and transitional periods).

 
Quinoa is great gluten-free source of manganese, magnesium, iron, copper,
phosphorous, and riboflavin (B2). Quinoa may be helpful if you have migraines, diabetes
or atherosclerosis.

Millet is a great gluten-free source of manganese, phosphorus, and magnesium, and
millet is beneficial for your heart.

Oils

Organic Unrefined Gluten-Free Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is the ideal oil for your cooking needs, and one of the healthiest foods on the planet. Organic extra-virgin coconut oil is a prime source of a key disease-fighting substance lauric acid -- the same one found in mother's milk that helps protect newborns against a broad range of pathogens (and, in fact, is now regarded as an important immune-booster for AIDS patients). In addition, various studies have shown heart patients recovering after being fed coconut oil. 

Condiments

Celtic Sea Salt provides minerals and stimulates digestion, and is highly recommended over regular table salt. In fact, this Celtic sea salt is the most alkalizing of all foods.

Body Ecology Stevia is widely renowned as the best stevia available in terms of taste,
functionality, and purity, as it offers the highest quality stevia extract available -- 95%
rebaudioside crystals. Simply put, stevia is a remarkable plant, many times sweeter than
sugar with virtually no calories. In parts of South America, it has been used for hundreds
of years to safely sweeten and flavor beverages. In Japan, stevia has been used by
millions of people for those purposes for over 25 years. But because the marketplace for
stevia is unregulated, you have to be careful about which types you choose to ensure
you are getting the safest, purest and most useful form. Read more about stevia now.
