Default tincture?

That'll take some trial and error Rosebud. 'Course, time you work it out, the little bottle will be used up and you wiil start over...

Well, if it was easy then everybody would be doing it.

Rick, you may be able to boil the powder in a bit of water...rather than baking it. You could then use that for a smoothie. The amount of mucuna in a single dose is so small that I can't imagine there would be enough toxin to make a diff. Let me talk to my bean guru about the toxins in beans. When you soak beans your softening them up for cooking and ,the excess water is poured off as water leaches out the toxins. But thats not true for all beans. For example we eat Pork and Beans canned with no ill effects, but canned beans like red kidney we are told to rinse thoroughly.

Lots of questions...but we have all the time in the world
