RE: Cold Hoops Mid Winter Update - More Insights from The Poly Low Tunnel Experiment
I heard that, just like most wild and indigenous edible plants, bitter flavor means more nutrients. Asian people eat bitter melons for its medicinal effects.
Yep that's what I've read too. But bitter is definitely an acquired taste for most of us. Luckily we can use culinary arts to make things like dandelion, dock leaves, lettuce, etc less bitter by combining other ingredients such as fats, spices, other veggies, etc to dilute, mask or otherwise spoil our delicate palates :P
Haha ... I like it. That's why cooking is a combination of both science and art. By the way, it can be a true enjoyment for family and friends to cook and eat together. :-)
Totally! Good times & good food :)
