Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 How true, I used to put sugar in my tea I mean lots of sugar. Now I can't stand anything in it. I slowly cut the sugar down and now I love the flavor of plain brewed tea. I was like this with dandilion greens, they are bitter but the more I ate them the more I loved the taste. They are my favorite green now. I wouldn't eat yams without brown sugar and cinnamon years ago. Now I bake them, open and eat plain.

Many times we have had them so altered by the junk food or such a small variety of foods that folks don't like things that are very good for them. Sometimes we might not immediately like new things, but need to keep trying it different ways until we retrain our taste buds to enjoy them..

Not all greens are good, eat only the ones taste right. Ed Recent Activity a.. 62New Members b.. 15New Photos c.. 71New Files Visit Your Group Cat Fanatics on Find people who are crazy about cats.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Yup, I now drink tea without any sweeteners either. Anyone who's known me awhile knows what a miracle that is. Dandelion greens. Yum. One of my favorite greens in my green smoothie. Now, I wish I could learn to love mustard greens. :-) Sharon Donnalilacflower wrote: > How true, I used to put sugar in my tea I mean lots of sugar.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I'm a bit of a vegi-phobe (almost ironic that I became vegetarian, but I digress) so I was amazed when I discovered I actually like raw mustard greens. A little goes a long way but it's like getting mustard and lettuce at the same time. I want to grow a plant this year so I can have a leaf or two at a time, but my usual garden center had neither plants nor seeds. I will continue to keep my eyes open for it, and for farmers' markets that would be willing to sell me less than a humongous bunch. I gather most people cook these, and kale and spinach and whatnot, which reduces the big bunch to a manageable size, but that's still too scary to contemplate actually eating yet. It's a texture thing, I think. -ginger On May 6, 2008, at 11:27 AM, wrote: > Yup, I now drink tea without any sweeteners either. Anyone who's known > me awhile knows what a miracle that is.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Ginger, not sure where you live, but if you have an indian store with fresh spices and you plant the brown/black mustard seeds and also the yellow ones, you will probably get a few plants. I am experimenting with this since I want to grow greens even when it gets really hot here. Lettuce will not be possible in the summer so I like to try other greens. I am also trying fenugreek greens (have not tasted yet). My partner does not like cooked spinach either, and it is hard to get him to eat any greens cooked. We do eat a lot of salads growing our own greens and he really likes that. So you are not alone in the preference....
