I still have trouble eating greens sometimes. I've worked out my own

way to make them palatable. First, I chop them finely. I can't stand it

when they get " stringy " in my mouth, and cutting them against the vein

helps alot. Steam them. Then I like to eat them with either chopped

nuts, sesame seeds, tahini, or olive oil. The fat helps the flavor alot

for me. When I make them this way they are delicious to me.

If you read what I wrote I actually only cook them 2 minutes with full

pressure (smile). Fifteen minutes was how long from when I walk into

the kitchen until I am eating. My goal is to loosen the cell

membranes,

but not to lose the phyto-nutrient content. I've been told as long as

they remain bright green then I have preserved that phyto-nutrient

content.

Spinach pie is also a good way to eat greens:

Make the pie crust from ghee and rye flour - or mixed rye and rice bran.

It only goes on top.

In oven shallow dish put loads of spinach, plus mushrooms, onion and

feta cheese (leave out feta for nonsecretors but it is not as nice).

Add pie crust on top and bake.

Some spinach haters tend to like this. Even my cats line up for it :-)

You must be very careful that they haven't been sprayed. The other thing is

that you should really harvest them in the early spring before they bloom.

Once they bloom, they're really bitter. You can also eat the flowers or make

wine from them. Lots of recipes, I guess. I've heard of dipping them in batter

and frying. I haven't tried the flowers.

What I do is to pick the leaves in spring - then they will shoot up new

leaves - pick again and so forth - so I have a constant supply of new

leaves.

But I can eat them after blooming as well, they just need to be cooked

just right - not too much or too little - so they darken - then add meat

and lots of other flavours as well, so it is not all dandelion. Go well

with curry, fenugreek, or coriander type spices - with tomato, rice bran

and onion added to sweeten a bit.

Start with a few and work up - they grow on you :-)

Namaste,

Irene

Hey everyone, is there a size or timing on the dandilion leaves that you need to

stop picking them?

You won't have to wait until next year, Max. Check out your yard again in

Just cut the leaves off at ground level and apply water - they will make

How are you preparing your greens? Raw, cooked, fermented? Raw can give

me problems unless I add something fermented to it [kefir salad

dressing, raw applecider and oil, salsa]. Cooking or fermenting helps

with the digestion issue.

Here's my recipe for kefir ranch dressing:

http://www.freespiritliving.com/recipes.html

I go pretty heavy on the dill. I also like to mix the NT salsa recipe

with kefir for a texas salad dressing. Pretty much substitute kefir for

sour cream. Easiest if you kefir cream, but whole milk is good too once

whey is strained. The trick [for me, at least flavor-wise] is not to

leave the kefir out too long, maybe 8-12 hours when it has just

thickened.

I have been steaming them or cooking them in olive oil. I like that

Sally Fallon says in her tape that certain veggies must be cooked.

Things like kale, spinach, green beans, broccoli, etc. I wish I had an

exact list.

I broke down and got a double pot steamer. I used to steam those things

on top of my potatoes or rice or whatever and it was so delicious. But

I realized the bad stuff was dripping down into the other food and not

disappearing just because of heat.

Sally says to put NN sour cream on veggies. I'm not rich enough so just

put sea salt and butter. My vegan son won't let me put butter and would

gag at sour cream or cheese and hates sourkraut (sp?) so I give him

small portions on top of whatever I've cooked in the morning (I'm too

tired to cook at night) and hope he outlives me so that I don't have to

watch him get something awful and wither away.

Well, I guess the main thing I was asking about it is the gas part

of it. I have tried steaming, sauteing, etc. I think it's true some

foods do just give you gas more than others but at one point I

thought that meant staying away from them but I really can't do that

where I am at right now b/c I need things that they will give me

nourishmentwise.

The Greens in my green drink are raw but they provide the body with

a more alkaline environment that is very important to healing.

Whether it's Edgar Cayce or Ray, I keep reading over and

over about the importance of this.

Re: Re: Greens

** Per NT

" While we recommend the inclusion of much raw food in the diet, some vegetables

are best eaten cooked. For example, cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and

kale contain chemicals that block the production of thyroid hormone (known

medically as goitrogens). Beet greens, spinach and chard contain oxalic acid

that blocks calcium and iron absorption and irritates the mouth and intestinal

track. Raw potatoes contain substances called hemagglutinins that sidrupt the

proper function of red blood cells. Cooking destroes or neutrialzes these

harmful substances (as does the fermentation process). Spinach and cabbage are

popular salad foodds but should be eaten raw only occasionally " .

I just realized that as I was typing this that saurkraut would not be that bad

for the thyroid because fermentation would neutrlize the goitrogens. (it is

slowly all coming together ;-)) Anywho hope that helps.

If you are not fond of leafy greens, all of the nutrients in them can

be obtained from other foods. Green drinks aren't necessary

either. JMHO

Well, actually I think they are for me b/c of the alkalizing content

of them. I have been very acidic for a long time. The one I take is

Garden of Life and it's supposed to be fermented from what I just

read today.

You know, it could be a dysbiosis reaction to something healthy in

the greens. It's fairly well-known in the Linus ing type

circles that higher doses of vitamin C will initially cause gas in

people with dysbiosis, especially candida. On the salt/c forum it

comes up from time to time with new people. There it usually seems

to go away on it's own as the balance in the gut gets stabilized,

but I don't know how much the salt affects it as it helps the

stomach/gut maintain it's ideal ph. It can take about a month.

When I started the salt/c protocol, I was tootin' wherever I went,

and no stopping it. Since then, I've rarely had gas, even from

beans, cabbage and other offenders.

If you feel they are benefiting you keep it up, but just to throw a

contrary opinion out, I find it very important to stay the hell away

from green superfoods in green drinks.

I should add to my last post, then, that I react to wheat grass juice

but do not react badly to Primal Defense, which has fermented wheat

and barley grass juice in it, so I think the fermentation process

eliminates or at least reduces the harmful things in the green juices.

I would, just as a general note, apply a healthy dose of skepticism to

anything on the internet regarding pH.

Are you saying as I eat it over time, the greens will stabilized my

gut?

What you wrote was very interesting to me and I believe I made a

mistake by avoiding the greens b/c they gave me gas. I avoided them

b/c I thought if I am not digesting this right, I don't want the

problems that come with undigested food getting into the bloodstream

and causing allergic reactions, etc.

As a mercury toxic person I know I have candida.

I can't believe you can eat beans without gas..wow!

Why should they be avoided? I am very curious. I like to get the pros

and cons of things to make a decision and I haven't heard any cons yet

but I figure, there has to be some. I do think I have been

benefitting but have you ever done something that may not be the best

for you long term but benefitted you in the short term? Well, I am

trying at this point to decide what these green drinks should mean to

me. Sort of like when I date someone who doesn't eat within the weston

price guidelines lol.

Most vegetables contain things that are irritating or toxic that are

neutralized by cooking or fermenting. Grasses aren't human foods at

all, and their juices are often contained in " superfood " drinks.

I tend to get an itchy mouth and sometimes even trouble breathing from

things like wheat grass juice or other grass juices. I don't have a

problem with Primal Defense though, which is made from fermented grass

juices.
