Raw Sangha #103 - Pumpkin Flowers for Food?

[monteros]

Squash blossoms, and flowers like that are awesome to eat fresh/raw and stuff and deep fry - amazing earth bounty :)

[RawSangha]

@monteros I dunno about deep frying anything but errr I think stuffing with some sweet corn or mango salsa would RAWk my world! :-)

[monteros]

@RawSangha deep frying is common, not a good thing for health nuts like us to do :) But, I though you asked what people do with blossoms :) I grabbed some fresh squash blossoms from my dad's garden this year,pulled a bee out of it, shook it off, and ate it. Wow was it amazingly good...

[RawSangha]

@monteros ha ha good thing you got that bee outta there you might of got a little surprise. Then again I hear a good bee sting is medicinal! :-)

I always dig the background music you have on the videos, what artists do you usually get the songs from?

[Delishful]

accent sounds frentsh

[RawSangha]

@Delishful Ha ha! :-)

[PBunsee]

Maybe rolled up with some light (not too strong tasting) veggies in nori, with some zucchini paste instead of nut pate.

I guess the flower is light and delicate?

[RawSangha]

@PBunsee zucchini hmmmm I'm liking this! :-)

[mmaannaaddoo]

Wauw that flower is a piece of art on a yummie salad

[RawSangha]

@mmaannaaddoo yeah a little decoration is always nice. I gotta lookup the nutrition on these bad boys, maybe their and aphrodisiac!!!

[mmaannaaddoo]

How about makin' finger foods with em!? Jus open up the bud & stuff w/ sprouts & mint, make a pesto or whatever u like..then tie it off w/ the stem. Makes finger sandwiches or a lite snack for guest who may nt be vegan! :)

[RawSangha]

@melodic21 oooooh that sounds good. Hmmm I could get really creative with this. I had a suggestion earlier to make a salsa... maybe I'll experiment since pomegranates are in season now and make a pomegranate salsa!!!

I know what you could do with the blossoms! You can make burrito blossoms. make your fresh guacamole chunky and stuff your blossom with that ans some sprouts. i like to sprout lentils for that bean effect and a tiny bit of chilly powder mmmmmmmmmm so good. 

[RawSangha]

@Avonlady84 oooooooh a salsa with some homemade guacamole!!! I LIKE!

[HealthForward]

which farmers Market did you go to? and which one is your favorite in So Cal?

[RawSangha]

@HealthForward I went to the Simi Valley one today I like the Camarillo farmers market (Saturdays) and Santa Monica on Wednesdays.
