A truly unique and “healthy” cookie…made with millet and topped with pine nuts. All natural, with mostly organic ingredients....
Our own Barby the Baker has created this recipe, and makes these cookies from scratch in our KWF Kitchen. Its a cookie with substance!
A little about millet:
Millet is one of the oldest foods known to humans and possibly the first cereal grain to be used for domestic purposes. It is mentioned in the Bible, and was used during those times to make bread. Millet has been used in Africa and India as a staple food for thousands of years and it was grown as early as 2700 BC in China where it was the prevalent grain before rice became the dominant staple. It is documented that the plant was also grown by the lake dwellers of Switzerland during the Stone Age.
Today millet ranks as the sixth most important grain in the world, sustains 1/3 of the world’s population and is a significant part of the diet in northern China, Japan, Manchuria and various areas of the former Soviet Union, Africa, India, and Egypt.
Millet is full of nutrients your body needs, such as: Magnesium, Calcium, Maganese, Tryptophan, Phoshorus, Fiber, B vitamins, and Antioxidants. The grain acts as a prebiotic to feed important microflora in your inner ecosystem. It also provides serotonin to calm and soothe your moods. It helps hydrate your colon to keep you regular. It is alkaline and is easy to digest.
A little about pine nuts:
Pine nuts can be a potent appetite suppressor. Why? They’re a good source of a polyunsaturated fat known as pinolenic acid. When you eat pine nuts, the pinolenic acid stimulates the secretion of a hormone produced by the intestines known as CCK. CCK sends the signal to your brain that you’re full which turns off your appetite.
Pine nuts are about ten to thirty-four percent protein. They’re also an excellent source of fiber as well as vitamins E, K, niacin, magnesium, and potassium.
Pine nuts are also high in monounsaturated fats, the same “heart healthy” fats that make nuts and olive oil beneficial.
Pine nuts are also high in antioxidants, protecting your cells from damage.

Earth Day Celebration: A Community Partnership between Kimberton Waldorf School and Kimberton Whole Foods
RECYCLE your unwanted electronics!
On April 17, in celebration of Earth Day, KWS will hold an electronic waste collection from 9 am to 12 pm in the front parking lot.
Items to be collected include: computers, cell phones, keyboards, stereos, televisions, monitors, printers, cables, floppy disks, CDs, office machines, calculators, DVD and CD players, and more. Disposal of computer monitors require a $10 fee. The electronic waste will be recycled through A Plus Industries of Allentown, PA. Documentation of secure disposal will be provided upon request.
The E-waste collection will be followed by organic lunch and speakers on green topics like permaculture, living roofs, green building, etc. Local farmers, artists, and earth-friendly vendors, many of whom work with Kimberton Whole Foods, will offer displays and demonstrations. There will be face painting and a raffle for a mountain bike. Afternoon festivities go from 12 pm to 4 pm.
Among the substances of concern in electronics manufacturing are lead, mercury, cadmium and brominated flame retardants. These substances can cause problems if the products are not properly managed at end of life. Recycling reduces pollution and saves energy by extracting fewer raw materials from the earth.
For more information, go to the EPA website.: http://www.epa.gov/waste/partnerships/plugin/index.htm#content. A Short film by Annie Leonard,“The Story of Stuff,” also highlights the problem of waste disposal: http://www.storyofstuff.com/.
Volunteers are needed both for the Ewaste recycling event, as well as for the Earth Day festivities that follow. Contact Pat Andrien at 610-469-0905 or Briana Brant of Kimberton Whole Foods at 610-935-1444.
