Kitchen Tools For Whole Food and Single Servings.
Whole Foods.
Where To Get Them Online.

-- by Alan Detwiler



Below are descriptions of eight or so kitchen tools. I have used some of the exact items listed, the Oster 10 speed blender, the coffee grinder and the coffee press. Those seem well worth purchasing for how I use them - grinding various types of flours and powders and leaching out the bitterness from powdered or pureed vegetables such as collards, chard, and dandelion. Most of the items below were chosen for inclusion here based on their descriptions listed on websites where they can be purchased. I tried to choose products that have the best combination of price and features for preparing single servings of fresh and dried vegetables and fruits, nuts, seeds, beans, and grain.

I have used some of the exact food items listed. I grow most of my own food. I included food and tools here largely based on their availability at Amazon.com and Walmart.com. I also considered price and specifications given in the retailer's product descriptions. I tried to choose food that is nutritious, healthful, tasty, and economical. I get 4% of the sales at Walmart and Amazon when someone makes a purchase by clicking on a link provided with a product below. I don't recieve anything by purchases from any other sources listed.

Most of the food and many of the tools listed below are not commonly available at local stores. Some of the recipes at this website use those uncommon ingredients and/or tools.
