How to prepare the "Kollath breakafast”

Ingredients per person: 30 to 40 grammes fresh wholewheat flour (the

Kollath breakfast makes the wheat digestible without cooking), 3 to 5 spoonfuls water, 1 to 2 spoonfuls fresh lemon juice, 20 grammes dried fruit, 200 grammes freshly grated apples, or any other (local or seasonal) ripe fruits; 1 spoonful almonds or crushed nuts to sprinkle over the top.

THE EVENING BEFORE: pour the wheat flour (an electric coffee grinder converts the wheat into wholewheat flour in a few seconds) into a bowl and add 3 to 5 spoonfuls of mineral water (NEVER use milk).

Stir and leave at room temperature until the next morning. During the night, the cereals swell and the fermentation process – which gives the “Kollath breakfast” its dietetic value and digestibility – takes place.

Cut the dried fruit (figs, raisins or dates) into small pieces and leave to soak in another container.

THE NEXT MORNING

Mix the contents of the 2 containers using the water in which the dried fruit has been soaked and add the fresh lemon juice. Add the freshly grated apple (or pear) or crushed seasonal fruits (strawberries, cherries, plums, peaches, etc). Sprinkle the mixture with the almonds or crushed nuts.

To vary the recipe, add almond paste or a spoonful of honey to taste. Those with a good appetite can eat some wholemeal bread and low-fat, soft white cheese, for example, AFTER the “Kollath breakfast”. 

Try it religiously for a few weeks and see the results for yourself!
