Fenderbender Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Nope.... The only chorizo I found is Wellshire farms... I make my own ground pork,salt,and really really good Spanish paprika ( not the canned stuff from the super market). Vacuum sealed and cured for three-four days.... I love it crumbled and sauted with eggs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melbournegirl Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 If you have time Robin, I'd be interested in knowing the reason why nitrites are okay but not suphites... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I swear there's a post in here from the Head Diesel herself giving a really detailed explanation, but I cannot find it!! Essentially it boils down to the fact that a) nitrates are naturally occurring compounds and 2) there isn't enough evidence to support the idea that nitrates are big enough meanies to throw of your W30 (like sulfites or carageenan would be). It really does come down to personal preference - if you'd prefer meats without, go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoodles Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I thought nitrates were super baddies, haven't they been linked to cancer or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Simpson Thumann Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 If I am not mistaken, those studies were debunked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praxisproject Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 In summary, there's more nitrates in your mouth than in most products. This is much like the cholesterol egg debate. You can limit your egg intake all you like, but if you have an internal cholesterol problem, it's not going to help and may even make it worse. A lot of the nitrate studies are also skewed in their input data, analysing only fast food or highly processed junk, often combined with high carb, high grain intakes.
