fruits/vegetables -- peeled, no seeds

[Guest guest]

Do we just eliminate certain legal foods in the beginning since it is too hard

to separate the skins and seeds? I discovered that cooked tomatoes lose their

peels easily. Are there other thin skinned foods that can be peeled this way?

My son loves red peppers -- can those be peeled? What about zuchinni -- that's

easy to peel, but half of the inside is seed. I tried to cook and strain

blueberries, but the outcome is not worth the trouble. Can someone post the

foods to just stay away from since they are not possible to prepare properly for

stage 1? Or post the secret method to prepare them! I would really appreciate

this if someone remembers the foods that work well in the beginning. My son

really appreciates variety and loves his veggies.

Although the stages are not an original part of SCD, I found them very

helpful. I think red peppers are stage 2--you can check this on the

stages list. Peppers can be peeled in a couple of ways. Sometimes I

slice and steam them. If you steam long enough, the skins will come

off. Also, if you roast them in the oven until the skins are all

black, the skin comes off, but you need to turn them so they are black

all over. The part that is not black will not be easy to remove.

Regarding zucchini (again, you can check what stage; fairly early, I

think)if the seeds are small, you do not need to remove them. It's

only the really large zucchini that you need to remove seeds from.

I have never used my juicer, but I have read that juicers remove

blueberry skins and seeds. You could boil the juice down and have a

yummy blueberry topping/jam with a little honey added to taste.

I can't think of any more " secrets " but if you post the difficult

foods you're interested in, maybe someone has a way. Did you ask on

the recipe creators list?
