Guest guest Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I was at a Tonya Zavasta talk last night (she wrote Quantum Eating). We were served mango/kale pudding. It was very smooth and very tasty. I really love the "black kale" or maybe it's called Jacinto kale more commonly. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Tonya came to Pensacola in February. At that time, she served a green smoothie with swiss chard and mango…the yellow-skinned kind. Anyway, it was REALLY good. Maybe Gayle’s swiss chard will taste better with mango, and no water added. Tonya doesn’t use water in her smoothies, which make them almost pudding-like in thickness. Before you dump all your swiss chard, you may want to try it again, with mango.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 That's what she explained last night. She made one of her concoctions for Boutenko. informed her it was not a smoothie, but pudding. So I guess that means you can have a smoothie for breakfast and pudding for dinner!

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Not to worry - I am not dumping it - I am growing a 90 foot row that I sell at farmers market and eat some of - cooked. I may try it with mango, but getting mangoes here, organic, is like finding hen's teeth. Thanks for the suggestion. Gayla Always Enough RanchAcampo, Californiaaeranch@...

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Gayla - mangos are way down the list for pesticides and whatnot. I don't buy them organic, but I do not like the mangos available right now as they are the stringy ones. I much prefer the Atalfos (yellow, kidney shaped). Went through about 15 cases this past spring/summer and it wasn't enough! Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I never got into mangoes since they are usually expensive and imported unripe. I would not know a good mango if it bit me on the finger. But I will check at the grocery store next time I go. The produce man should know. Thanks. I try to be a seasonal locavore.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Try collard greens. I put them, or kale, in my smoothie every day. I don't think you can really taste them in there, like you can with chard. I tried the chard in a smoothie, too, and didn't like the taste. But I do like it steamed. In my smoothie, I put in banana and blueberries, always. I also use pear, cherries, pineapple, strawberries, raspberries, or whatever else that looks good. Carol > > I grow a 90 foot row of Swiss chard. I guess either you love it or hate it. I can eat it cooked, but yesterday was reading up on all the minerals it has, so decided to try it raw even though it does not smell all that great raw to me. I put it in a smoothie with pears and enough water to process, like I do with kale. YUCK!!! I could choke down 8 ounces. I won't try that again <chuckling>. I need to find another green I can grow here in this heat that is loaded with minerals. > No not chard. Never. Nope.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Gayla - not really the right season for mango. If you do find them and you don't know a good one you will be disappointed. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
