35. Re: What is the enzyme called catalase??

I heard that if you are experience hair loss or premature whitening, eating sea vegetables might help. Not sure why though. Could be the iodine content that helps people with low iodine (and therefore an underperforming thyroid).

39. Do you know of any fruits that taste like vanilla?

I searched online for fruits that taste like vanilla and found a couple of obscure names that have no English equivalent. They are supposed to taste like vanilla pudding. One is the Pocanelle (French name), which is from Madagascar. The other is called Jaba Tacabo from Brazil. Interesting enough, there is supposed to be a banana cultivar that tastes like vanilla ice cream called Ice Cream. Too ba

Thank you Jgunn for the excellent links! I am a bit in shock to find that almonds are NOT alkalizing! Except for the almond butter apparently! The propaganda I read on the web says different! Also why is almond butter only the alkalizing form? All it is is pure crushed almonds... Thank you GoutPal for making such an informative site! GoutPal, I just noticed that you have pine nut and pi

I think that persimmons from asia (khakis) are meant to be eaten when they are harder where as the native persimmon is meant to be eaten soft. Does anyone know if the black sapote is in season?

54. Re: Mushrooms

I remember reading about how chinese organic mushrooms are more "polluted" than regular American mushrooms because the rain washes down all the smog and pollution and the mushrooms end up absorbing and concentrating it. I think it was in "Mycelium Running".

Most mushrooms are decomposers. They are a crucial part of nature. The good ones are also good for you. Different mushrooms have different qualities.

60. Re: Mentally addicted to spices

Most spice have antibacterial properties. Also they are easy to grow. However, the term "spice" does not have to necessarily be used for herbs. Lemons and limes can be used to spice things up. Thant's all I can think of right now.
