Ginger Grater

[Guest guest]

Robin,

There's a special porcelain grater for ginger, usually available at Japanese

stores, but also for $12 at -Sonoma:

I highly recommend it, but when making ginger carrots, you might just chop it

roughly.

Thank you Heidi and . The peppermint tea did not do much to

help, but the ginger tea was helpful. This is strange for me because

I have never suffered from indigestion before. It has only begun

happening since changing over my diet to NT. I'm wondering if part

of the cause has to do with my body adjusting to a new diet. Also, I

started a batch of the ginger carrots to help out. My diet was

lacking in vegetables, especially fermented veggies. I was focusing

on properly preparing grains first because that seems to be the

biggest area of impact on our diet...bread for sandwiches, porridge,

muffins, quick breads, etc. I think that all the carbs we have been

eating, with little vegetables, especially fermented ones, was

messing me up. I don't know. My husband hates ginger though. Is

there something else I can add instead that still compliments

carrots? Also, how do you use fresh ginger? It's so stringy; do you

just mince it real fine and not worry about the stringy stuff? I've

tried grating it and that was a joke. It took forever and lots of

ginger just to get a teaspoon. I used my garlic press and that was a

little better but still not reasonable. It was hard to push through,

with a lot still left in the garlic press that couldn't get through.

It still uses a lot of garlic to get the desired amount. There has

got to be an easy way.

Peace and Love of Christ be with you,

Robin
