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

-- by Alan Detwiler

Below are descriptions of eight or so kitchen tools. I have used 2 of the exact items listed, the coffee grinder and the coffee press. Both seem well worth purchasing for how I use them - grinding various types of flours and powders and leaching out the bitterness from powdered vegetables such as collards, chard, and dandelion. I have not used the particular models specified of the other kitchen tools listed. Included are blenders and food processors, scales, garlic presses, and timers. They were chosen for inclusion here based on their descriptions listed on websites where they can be purchased. Those descriptions were used 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 only used a couple 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.
