I too, have a recipe for a playdough that calls for Alum. Is there a substitute?
I didn’t see anything listed in your article. Thank You LH There isn’t a substitute for alum in the playdough but you can just omit it. It’s added as a preservative to make the dough last longer but can cause intestinal distress if ingested. Please help! I have a bean sprouter, & always have success with this, except in the case of Fenugreek! I water, shake & drain my sprouting seeds twice a day (my sprouter has 3 layers) but, no matter what I try, Fenugreek will NOT sprout for me, but rather turns into a mucousy gunge! Could I add the dry seeds to soups, & if so, how much would I add? Thank you most kindly, PG Hey, cool! I never thought about sprouting fenugreek. You do want to be sure that you are using seeds specifically bred for sprouting. If you are using those sold as a spice they may be irradiated which could prevent sprouting. The sproutpeople website has step by step instructions for fenugreek seeds. The seeds would be more palatable in recipes if they were ground first. See “
