I don't understand why this is such a good thing? Has anyone tried it? Is this really some big innovation?

Udi We ponder this question a lot at the office. Thanks for sharing

brittanymbarton sounds awful. I've heard it described as drinking pancake batter. Not to mention I don't think it's possible to get adequate nutrition from it.

gingerandchorizo I don't think I can ever do that because I love eating too much ;-)

munchiemummy @MargaretG we're trying it and it's effective but still there are too many slugs! It seems hopeless at this point. I've lost all of my lettuce, arugula, radicchio, carrots, and basil so far.
Ramps: Spring gem or overrated?

DietID_TeamDietitians So I love ramps, but a friend who runs the food issues group (which @KimberlyChou is a party of) sent me this explanation of Ramps

unconventionalbaker Wow, that's crazy, Rachna! We had them planted at the last property we were at (by the owner) and she allowed me to harvest some, but warned to pick selectively and spread it out. They grew quite...

Super foods made "super" by the media?
The more I read the more I feel that it's the media / select groups that define super foods year after year & sometimes just out of the blue!!
Even something as basic as an egg or a mundane spinach...

DietID_TeamDietitians It's marketing fluff, but how one thing gets on the list is a matter of hustle. Reminds me of this article from a couple years ago...
-
garv It's strange actually , because on one hand we talk about local produce & on the other hand some food belonging to a country miles away becomes all the rage & moves from being staple to that region...

JenniferEmilson Totally @garv Quinoa is a classic example. It started trending here in NA, and then suddenly the countries where it was a lowly staple started exporting more, and the locals could no longer eat...
Guide to Food, Life After Expiration
40% of food waste comes from our homes. Here is a guide as to how long after the expiration date you can use it. When in doubt, use your nose. How do you rescue food at your home?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians this is awesome!! great #nofoodwaste tips! my big tip for food waste is to use the food that goes bad quickly before food that lasted longer- like greens before potatoes
-
Athina @Rachna I am a fan of vegetable hierarchy.
-
Athina Another #nofoodwaste tip is to chop up wilting vegetables and freeze them to use later in broths. For fruits, I juice them and put them in ice cube trays to use in cocktails.

DietID_TeamDietitians I loved the water episode especially with all the scenes of bowl cooking in India
-
serveMEnow Yes! The water episode inspired me to get up, stop watching, and cook. That one quote summarized, "eat anything you want, you just have to cook it!" #mindblown @Rachna

Toast with goat cheese, topped with radishes!

@rachna great idea!!! I might try grilling them and making a pesto from the greens, too!

Brianne
I learned how to pickle radishes when I was a kid. It made the spicy ones easier to eat.
