Other Foods

Some other ideas to try now and again:

melons - are the most perfectly balanced food for human beings, but should be only eaten on their own or with other soft fruit; Cantaloupe are my favourite, and inspired my piano piece "Melon Variations"
paw paw with lime juice
lychees, pears, pineapples, grapefruits, oranges, tangerines, raspberries, blackberries
avocado salad with mushrooms and lime juice - a simple and delicious raw salad (thanks Jane!)
tapioca - easy to cook (with rice milk); just avoid the tinned stuff with sugar in
brown rice syrup - a good natural sweetener
tamari - the ultimate soy sauce, just fermented soy beans, water and salt, unlike Shoyu which also contains wheat; the best brand is Clearspring Organic Tamari
pistachio nuts - a good nutritious snack, better than peanuts
crisps) - as long as they're just potatoes, vegetable oil and salt, they're OK
grated raw parsnip with olive oil and tamari - fabulous filling for jacket spuds
baked red peppers, onions, apples - remove the seeds/core first, drip oil onto it and then bake
alfalfa and mung bean sprouts are delicious raw and in stirfries, and are very easy to grow
sorrel, rocket, lovage and chives all grow well in English soils and are delicious in salads
herbal tea - I currently have 38 varieties on my shelves! (Come and visit me and help me drink it all!) Favourites are Yogi Bhajan's Ayurvedic "THROAT COMFORT TEA" and Long Life "ORGANIC GINGER BLEND", available from all good health food shops. And if you grow rosemary in the garden, just dunk the leaves in hot water!
fruit juices - if you've never tried freshly juiced carrot and apple, you haven't lived...
