Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Hi, Lisa Simons <hoper Thank you for introducing the Jello recipe for us. I like it so much. However, I don't know what is Kudzu? And where I can buy it? Thank you for your time! Sherrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2001 Report Share Posted November 1, 2001 Hi,. Kudzu, or Kuzu is a sea vegetable, used as a thickener. It is found with the other sea vegetables in natural food stores. It's popular in macrobiotic cooking. I'm sure it can be ordered if your store doesn't stock it. Hope this helps, Lisa - <swang Wednesday, October 31, 2001 8:54 AM Re: Jello > > Hi, Lisa Simons <hoper > > Thank you for introducing the Jello recipe for us.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 >Kudzu, or Kuzu is a sea vegetable, used as a thickener. No, kudzu is a vine which develops huge root tubers full of starchy material which is used as a thickening agent. The vines were introduced from Japan into the south US as erosion control, now it is wild and everywhere. -- Be kind. Be of good cheer.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 I thought Kudzu was a east Asian vine that was brought over and used in the US (primarily in ths south) and took over. I know this is edible too...is there a sea vegetable that is Kudzu as well? Linda At 06:05 PM 11/1/01 -0500, you wrote: >Hi,. >Kudzu, or Kuzu is a sea vegetable, used as a thickener.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2001 Report Share Posted November 7, 2001 Perhaps calling kudzu a sea vegetable was confusing it with Agar... ( a type of seaweed) which is also used for as a thickener and in various deserts which are similar to the jello most americans know. --- Linda Evans <linda.evans wrote: > I thought Kudzu was a east Asian vine that was > brought over and used in the > US (primarily in ths south) and took over.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Okay, 'Jello' is not vegetarian. that's for sure ;=) I figure it's something we can live without, despite the raves from healthfood folk who think that somehow it is necessary to good health and try to sneak it into veggie diets *lol* As for Splenda - well, I'm a bit leary of sugar substitutes, although I do use them now and then - tho rarely. And I think one should pay close attention to Dr Mercola's warnings about them. There's one thing (which doesn't go against what I said above): the site for Dr Mercola's warning against Splenda said, early on: >Research in animals has shown that sucralose can cause >>many problems in rats, mice, and rabbits, such as . . . Okay, now remember folks that we are not rats, mice or rabbits - and that that is one of the problems with animal experimentation. The other problem of course is ethical. The rest of the article cited some horrendous stories of animal experimentation (starving rats, for eg) which kinda put me off the whole thing. I think I'll just sit in silence for a minute and contemplate those lab animals. And oh yeah, I'll skip the sugar substitutes too - although my doing so won't save them.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 when I went on to the site about splenda I got a pop-up ad about how doctors are the leading cause of death blah blah blah multiple times... but, the guy who wrote the whole thing calls himself Dr. Mercola. Is anyone besides me seeing a problem here? I didn't see anywhere what his degree was in (MD or anything else) but still...

Osteopaths are an offshoot of allopathic medicine. This website will explain a little about DO’s: HYPERLINK " http://www.aoa-net.org/Consumers/omed.htm " http://www.aoa-net.org/Consum ers/omed.htm Just like anything else, there are good DO’s and bad ones; caring ones and shysters.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 It's actually too bad...I kind of like Jello, if I didn't know what was in it....will have to try to make the agar, agar or something when I have a chance! haven't had a chance to read posts in a while (starting Nursing school, actually pre-nursing at the moment) and am overwhelmed! If anyone already posted or has a good agar agar fruity-flavored recipe, I'd love to have it! thanks, melissa p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
