Cooking Tips

How to make raw beets more palatable for eating:
  • Grate them, the finer the grating the sweeter the flavor. My favorite size is 1/8 " with a mandolin slicer. Serve them with a sweet and tangy dressing.

How to make beans more digestible: 
  • Cook them with a 1 inch piece of kombu.
  • There is a general belief that kombu helps to improve the digestibility of beans.
  • Kombu is also a natural flavor enhancer and a good source of glutamic acid.
