A Simple Question

Date: September 21, 2014 05:42AM Do any of you eat raw potatoes?
I eat most anything raw and enjoy it but raw potatoes don't hold any appeal for me. Am I missing out? I know they're a good source of protein but there's something about them I just don't like. Btw, raw squash doesn't do anything for me either. Any thoughts? Re: A Simple Question

Date: September 22, 2014 05:27AM Thanks Prana. I will have a look for raw marinara sauces. Like I've said before, I eat quite a simple diet - pure natural flavor but there are times when I just want something a bit more tantalizing. Maranaras would undoubtedly satisfy.
Utopian Life, here's my problem. I once took a class called World Food Crisis. One day, the chairman of the biochemistry department was the lecturer and he told us that potatoes are an excellent source of protein! Who knew? Then he said that it wasn't that they had so much protein in them but that they contained all of the essential amino acids - one food with all the amino acids. So, you see, I feel like I should try to like them... but I don't!! Re: A Simple Question

Date: September 22, 2014 09:56AM I recently heard that the juice of raw potatoes is very good, you are supposed to drink a small glass first thing in the morning. I don't know more about this, as I never thought of eating raw potatoes. I liked them a lot when cooked though...

That was a fascinating read. I'm glad I've asked this question. I've yet to juice some potatoes but I'm eager. I'll try it alone and then with some carrot juice and then all three - carrot juice, potato juice and grape juice though that sounds a bit weird. In all honesty, it actually sounds like something soothing to the stomach. It might go well with celery too. Re: A Simple Question

Date: September 26, 2014 06:38PM O.K. I finally found some white potatoes and juiced them. It wasn't bad at all. There is lots of pulp though and I hate to toss it out. Maybe I should add some salt and dehydrate it.
Hmmm. Maybe that's how they make Pringles. Maybe not. Re: A Simple Question

Date: September 28, 2014 08:19AM I usually buy at 10 pounds bag per week for juicing.
I would juice about 5 or 7 potatoes at a time. It is best to use a masticating juicer. Also let the juice sit for few minutes, the pulp will settle at the bottom. If you are into skin care and beauty, you can apply the pulp mixed with some juice to your face. [www.stylishwalks.com] [www.arabiaweddings.com] Edited 3 time(s).
