Today’s Reci-
PEE - Goldilocks Bread
Who’s hungry ?
Stream of wheat?
An enterprising French baker
(Wee-Wee ) is switching up her bread recipe, or should we say
reci-pee, by using wheat fertilized with female urine harvested from public restrooms.
“Urine is a great fertilizer,” said engineer and self-proclaimed “ecofeminist” Louise Raguet, who regularly gathers piddle from female urinals in the 14th Arrondissement of Paris, reported RT. She’s the brains behind “Boucle d’Or” — or Goldilocks bread.
Raguet’s goal: To “break taboos over excrement,” and create a sustainable food cycle.
According to a new study published by
the French Urban Planning Agency, some 29 million loaves of urine-utilizing bread could be baked daily, saving farmers 703 tons of nitrogen employed in artificial fertilizers per day. Perhaps it’s true what they say that April showers bringing May flours.
“It’s a neglected liquid, usually dismissed as a waste,” said Raguet, adding that urine harbors nitrogen, potassium and many of the other nutrients that plants extract from the soil. As such, it “should be treated like a gold mine,” she said.
Going to the bathroom is literally flushing food potential down the toilet. “When you pee in water, treatment plants remove the nutrients,” she said. “They do not return to the earth. The system is not circular.”
