I shared with you in this post that I had started a 'greens' jar and that the first thing I put in it was curly kale that I had dried and turned into a powder.
In addition to the curly kale, I've also added the following ...

I have a greens jar I started for my daughter that is fighting ovarian cancer. It has carrot tops, scallion greens, kale, swiss chard, lettuces etc
ReplyDeleteChef Owings, I'm so sorry your daughter is fighting ovarian cancer. Those are good 'greens' to use, I didn't realize there were so many options until I started researching.
DeleteI have my green jar filled with carrot tops, beet tops, chard, kale, parsnip tops, some parsley... everything that is edible but not eaten now. They are grind into a very fine powder, so I can add it to everything (from soups to smoothies to pancake batter...)
ReplyDeleteUlvmor, You can put varying amounts in just about anything can't you!!!
DeleteThis is such a fabulous idea! Can you share the ways you use your greens powder? I can think of adding to green smoothies and to soups but that's as far as my imagination goes :)
ReplyDeleteJenny, in addition to smoothies and soups that you mentioned, I've added it to meatloaf, casseroles and stews. Someone mentioned earlier in a comment that they added it to pancakes. You can really add it to just about anything.
DeleteHer oncologist gave her a list along with telling her 12 oz beet juice a day.
ReplyDeleteChef Owings, I've heard great things about beet juice, there must be some truth to how good it is for you.
DeleteI recently discovered "golden beets". Way yummy and still the goodness of beets. (And they don't stain your hands when processing them. Win-win)
DeleteAre those nettles the stinging variety? If so, doesn’t it hurt your mouth?
ReplyDeleteLace, yes, they are stinging nettles and no, they don't hurt your mouth. When stinging nettles are processed, either by cooking or dehydrating, they lose their sting.
