Usefulness of Whey
I have never thought about whey except that small time in my life when I went to the gym and was in semi health mode. But what I'm talking about is nothing like that. I had no idea how to make it or where to get it from before we started making the raw milk formula for Riley. It calls for 1/4 cup in each batch we make. So, I realized after seeing the post from Cheeseslave today about How to Make Whey, I figured I'd post a few of the many things you can use whey in.
- If you soak your grains, you can put whey in the water that you are soaking your grains in. Here's a link from The Nourishing Gourmet about soaking grains.
- Of course, in the raw cow's milk formula! I've linked to the Cheeseslave post about how to make raw milk formula. It's pretty easy.
- If you ever lacto-ferment any vegetables, you use the whey in those recipes. I know I love love love sauerkraut!!! Other veggies that I can think of are beets, radishes, carrots, etc. Pickles are the BEST!!!
- Lacto-fermented beverages. Think vinegar like. Kombucha is really good although you have to get used to it. I'm not sure anyone likes it at first. Food Renegade has a really good post about the benefits and such of Kombucha and how to brew it.
That's about all I can think of right now.

Hope this post was a little informative!
Later.
