Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 That is exactly the thing though, Barbara. Kelp is a vegetable, a seaweed, which tastes salty because of its growing environment. In its natural state it is a brownish green thing looking like weird tree branches. Dried and powdered it becomes parkelp and is sold as a salt even though it is a sea vegetable. Its benefit is those trace minerals I mentioned. Similarly, the Braggs is made from soybeans. It is the fermenting process which makes the beans taste salty. Cocoa nibs are the natural bean which grows on the tree before it is processed into commercial chocolate. Ever had, say, a mango pie, made from only a mango or only from strawberries or blueberries and so forth without ANY additives? Absolutely wonderful. I make the crusts from nuts, dates, and raisins. I also make cheezecake from nuts.It gets an A+ on any Ricther Taste Scale. What do you consider a healthy food? I rarely eat meat. I find, for myself, that when I do, it is because i've neglected to feed myself properly or enough for the day. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Kathy, I joined this group because my husband is battling lung cancer but I am interested in your pie crust recipes because my grandson has celiac disease and must eat gluten free foods. If you could email me your recipes for the pies you mentioned and the cheesecake, I'd be very grateful. Thanks, Nili -- ngitig - Kathy oleander soup Thursday, February 04, 2010 2:20 AM Salty That is exactly the thing though, Barbara.
