• There’s a banana coconut cream pie recipe on this website. Also, I’ve read in The Raw Truth that soaking the sweet potato a couple hours in water with salt makes the sweet potato more palatable. I take that to mean it makes it less starchy. Good luc…

• I was reading Jeremy Safron’s “The Raw Truth” last night, and he says taro will cause “intense mouth and throat discomfort” when eaten raw. As for yucca, aka cassava, it’s too dense and starchy to be eaten raw. :)

• I guess mushrooms are not really considered veggies, are they? I think they’re classified as fungi. Anyway, I’ve read they should not be consumed raw. And they’re supposed to be full of mycotoxins. Superfoods mushroom supplements like AgariGold, mad…

• I love sunchokes in my salads, and they’re great in nori rolls. Good substitute for water chestnuts. I use galangal once in a blue moon in my salads, but I don’t have much experience with them. It’s used in a lot of SE Asian (Thai) recipes, I believ…
