Tsubu-Tsubu Grains: Japanese Future Foods
Introduction of TsubuTsubu
The general term Tsubu-Tsubu actually refers to a whole range of delicious
grains. In addition to the millet family, tsubu-tsubu includes: soba
(buckwheat), quinoa, amaranth, barley, brown rice, adlay, and more.
They are tremendously flexible, non-allergenic, hearty, and delicious.
Eaten boiled, soaked, pounded, baked, or eaten raw in a variety of recipes,
they taste amazing and will have you forgetting the animal products
you may be used to. The wide diversity of Tsubu-tsubu grains expands
our food vocabulary from the strict rice, potatoes, or white bread diet
now shared by many modern people.
Tsubu-tsubu Grains
Are...
1. Hardy and International. Millet plants are very
strong and will grow even in cold areas or infertile soils. They are
naturally resistant to pests and climactic changes, making it possible
to grow and store them without chemical pesticides. Almost any open
land can support millet, making it independently productive at the
national, regional, and individual levels.
2. Portable and Flexible. Tsubu-tsubu are tiny time
capsules of life. They can be stored for long periods in small spaces,
and eaten anytime with only some water, a pan, and a fire. This makes
them perfect for future-looking survivalists, urban warriors, rural
families, space travelers, and people constantly on the move.
3. Highly Productive. One tsubu-tsubu grain in the
earth will give birth to thousands more edible grains. A handful of
grains from this year’s balcony garden or backyard farm has
the potential to grow an entire harvest next year. The current world
food crisis could be averted if we returned large-scale to the natural
abundance of tsubu-tsubu grains.
4. Nutritionally Balanced. Tsubu-tsubu grains contain
far more dietary fiber and minerals than rice or wheat. Nutritionally
balanced, it is especially rich in protein, calcium, and iron. It
has also been credited with aiding the autonomic nervous system, strengthening
the immune system, regenerating cells, preventing anemia, and suppressing
allergies. The cleansing power of tsubu-tsubu fiber can help prevent
cholesterol deposits, hardening of arteries, thrombosis, and apoplexy.
The amazing abilities of tsubu-tsubu grains to strengthen the mucous
membranes of the digestive system, prevent constipation and protect
against cancer of the large intestine have attracted the attention
of medical experts and doctors worldwide.
