Oxalic Acid in Spinach
I often receive questions about oxalic acid, an alkaloid in spinach. It is important to understand that all greens have a small amount of alkaloids, and these alkaloids exist to keep edible plants from being eaten into extinction. Spinach has oxalic acid, lettuce has opiates, kale, chard, cabbage, and parsley all have other kinds of alkaloids. In truth, all plants, even the most edible ones, are a tiny bit poisonous.
A Brilliant Life in Darkness
I absolutely have to tell you about Alexander Suvorov, whom I have met several times and who has been my hero and inspiration for many years. Alexander Suvorov became totally blind and deaf when he was three years old. Nevertheless, he was so eager to live his life to the fullest that he learned to speak and to understand what other people were saying by holding their hands.
Who Can Afford Strawberries?
How to Choose a Cherimoya
Cherimoyas are my favorite tropical fruit. Originally grown by Inca farmers in Ecuador and Peru, cherimoyas are now savored throughout the world. Cherimoya is truly one of the most exquisite fruits that exist, and it tastes like a blend of pineapple, mango, and strawberry. On top of exceptional flavor, cherimoyas are also loaded with nutrients.
Green Puddings
Green puddings can enrich and diversify the textures and flavors of your daily green smoothies. Puddings are thicker than smoothies, and you can eat them with a spoon. One advantage of green puddings is that they often have a smoother and fluffier texture, and for this reason may be more palatable to children and other people who have not yet developed a taste for greens.
Green puddings also generally contain little or no water, and therefore have a more concentrated flavor and sweetness, making them taste very yummy.
Sergie’s Emerald Greenplesauce
The other day I asked Sergei to make some applesauce for a potluck we were going to together, and he added a surprising and nutritious twist to this common dish. Inspired by the contents of his refrigerator, Sergei added a considerable amount to spinach to his applesauce, in essence cleverly transforming this ordinary recipe into a decedent green smoothie sauce!
