Thank you for your comment. Chocolate and coconut is another combo that is popular. For either of the snacks I made in the video, you could add some coconut to them.

Thank you for commenting. Yes, you can use your Vitamix instead of your processor. I prefer brown rice syrup because it is maltose, the least reactive sweetener on your body. Because it comes from a whole grain, complex carb, brown rice, the sweetener is maltose. Date syrup is better then white sugar. In that regard better then sugar is good. However date syrup is high in fructose. Whole dates would have the fiber and be better then the date syrup. Sweeteners that are high in fructose get digested in the liver, that is why they seem to not mess with people's blood sugar levels and are said to be 'low glycemic' foods. Personally, for me, dates are very, very sweet to me and my body can not handle them or date syrup. I recently wrote my blog about alternative sweeteners.

Hi Brian. Thank you for commenting and watching my LIVE video.

Thank you for your comment and question. Ume vinegar is a salty, sour, pungent vinegar. It is a very unique flavor. You could substitute your favorite vinegar but it will be missing the salty flavor of the ume. If you substitute a different vinegar you may have to add a little more sea salt to create a good flavor. Play with it and taste it with your favorite vinegar and see what you think. And also I highly suggest you look for ume vinegar to try also.

@@chefvaleriewilson8738 thank you for responding. I am definitely going to purchase the vinegar but was wondering what I could use in the meantime. Looking forward to trying the recipe...especially that dressing!

@@sheritaylor7997 Great! Let me know how it comes out for you.

It is a Cuisinart, Pro Custom 11. I love it! I have three of them. However I got them about 9 years ago. They are always upgrading them and coming out with new models, so that model is not available anymore. I do prefer Cuisinart food processor to other brands.

Thank you! I am so happy to hear you enjoy my recipe and food of the month. Thanks for following me and commenting.

Thank you!

Hi Athena. Glad you like the Nori Rolls. Yes, very healthy for you. Thanks for commenting on the video and all your support.

HI Athena. I mentioned you in the LIVE hoping you would watch later. I have tried corn raw off the cob. It is OK, in my opinion, but I find it starchy tasting. The starchy taste goes away when you cook it. Thanks for your comment and your support.

HI Athena. The next Cooking Class will be another Outdoor Grilling class on Wed. August 14th. I am working on the recipes now. It will be on the website by next week.

Thank you.

1/4 tsp. of cream of tartar. Thanks for your question.

Thank you for watching and commenting.

Thank you Athena.

Thank you for asking. During the video I mention, MacroVal.com a couple times. Here is the direct link to register for cooking classes: www.macroval.com/

No I do not have an asparagus patch. I wish I did. I was not chopping willy nilly, the pieces were all relatively the same size which is how you want to chop asparagus. . Yes, the bottom is always tougher then the tops. It depends on the recipe you are doing as to how the asparagus will turn out. Yes, snapping the bottoms is the best, however when you are in the kitchen making large batches of items, cooking for a living, cooking in quantities (such as I do) time is important and I was demonstrating the fastest way to chop the asparagus. If you had the time, snapping all of them would be fine. Thank you for your comment.

I have never peeled my asparagus. If at all possible get organic asparagus to avoid the pesticides. Someone may peel asparagus thinking they are taking off the pesticides that are sprayed on conventional crops. Thank you for commenting and asking the question.

@@chefvaleriewilson8738 I have noticed restaurants serving large stalks of celery. They peel the end thinking they are getting rid of the tough part, but the only way to separate the nice edible part of asparagus with the tough end is to hold it in the right places in bend it. It will snap between the top nice part and tough ends. Chop the ends into the smaller pieces and use those to make vegetable stock.

I do not eat at restaurants, so that is interesting to hear they peel their asparagus. Maybe they are also peeling it to get the coating off when the vegetables are sprayed because most restaurants are not using organic asparagus. Thank you for your comments. @@karenscribner7031

Great! Thanks for you comment. Glad you enjoyed my class on Onions and Garlic. The Bundle is full of interesting, wonderful things.

Thank you for commenting. I have been doing this for years. It makes it easy to put minced greens into your dishes all the time.

Everyone really likes that tip about wetting the cutting board. It is just habit now for me. Thank you for watching and commenting.

No. I just use the manual when I set my machine.

HI Barb, Queen B. That is great you and your family are making the commitment to start eating more whole foods. Substitute the white rice for brown rice.

Thank you for your comment.

You can find out more about 'Apeel' by reading my blog. I have written 4 blogs about it so far. Each one has more information. Thanks for your comments. valeriewilson.substack.com/p/apeel-keep-talking-about-it-we-are

Thank you for watching and your comments.

Hi JaMare, I was able to get this long burdock from a Oriental food store in Novi, Michigan. Oriental stores seem to have longer burdock that is not cut up. Thank you for asking and commenting.

@@chefvaleriewilson8738live here in western PA. And find it easy to find outside but cant get full root or roots like the ones in vidio. does the store have a website or by chance do you ship herbs?

@@DunFaith The store is called, One World Market, it is a Japanese food market. Their website says they are only in Novi, Michigan. it does not look like they ship. Here is the link to their website: www.oneworldmarket.oneworld-market.com/

Thank you for your comment.

It is truly one of my favorite seasoning. It imparts such a great taste to whatever you use it with. Thanks for you comment.

U.R. Welcome. Thanks for commenting on the video

HI Scott. I talk about putting ume plum paste on corn on the cob in the video. One of my favorite summer time foods to eat. Thanks for your comment.

I agree better than butter on corn! 🌽

Thanks for your comment. Do a google search for them. My copies are from 1995. I hope you find them.

@@chefvaleriewilson8738 I found them on the thriftbook app I just have to commit to getting them

@@Froxyfan13 Awesome! Glad you found them!

Thank you for your comment. I usually put broccoli n the middle, glad you enjoyed it in yours.

Thank you for commenting. Patricia is such a sweet lady I was so happy to have her as my special guest.

thank you 💖 Craig for your support!

Yes, Patricia, I am looking forward to going LIVE with you Tuesday!

Thank you for watching.

Yes, love that character, Starbuck. Thank you for commenting.

HI TS, thanks for commenting. Yes, it has the consistency of jicama root. Look for it to be light brown on the outside. You do not want it to have dark brown spots. It should be firm also, not mushy. Plus I am writing my substack blog all about Lotus Root. Should be done in a couple hours, probably by the time you see this is will be up. Here is the link to my blog, valeriewilson.substack.com/p/protein-beans-and-cystine

Hi Thanks for commenting. I have been using my black garlic machine for 3 years now and have never cleaned the 'condensation collector'. I just went and looked at my instructional manual and it does say to clean it. I did a search to find more information or a video showing how to do it, I could not find one. My machine works great without cleaning this 'condensation collector' and I use my machine a lot. More in the winter then the summer. I would not worry about it and use the machine.

If you mean the plastic cup thing just below the hinge then you just pull it out. I have never seen any condensation in mine.

HI, thanks for commenting. I use to be able to get the lotus root tea at health food stores, but it is getting harder to find it. You can always do a google search and I am sure it is available on amazon.

@@chefvaleriewilson8738 Thank you, I will do a search.

Awesome! Thanks for the comment. Butternut squash is so sweet and delicous!
