I like to first rinse my fruits and veggies a couple of times (using my hands to scrub any firmer fruit/vegetable), drain, and then soak with some white vinegar and baking soda. Drain after 5-10mins, and then run under the faucet to rinse off any potential residue. I’ve heard mixed reviews about adding the baking soda, but I like the fizzing effect and in my mind it helps, so I keep doing it 😅😂 but I know for sure the white vinegar is great, so I highly recommend it, especially for berries and leafy greens! (Once washed, I lay out my berries in a towel or a couple of paper towels so they can drain & dry, before storing in the fridge. This has greatly helped extend their life as well!)

For garlic: Use the flat side of a knife to squash/"break" the clove. afterwards peeling should be much easier. I've used this technique and I've also seen professional chefs using them. Also if you don't like beets, shredding and frying them in a pan with just a tiny bit of oil (or no oil if you have something non stick) makes them amazingly palatable. Add salt/pepper/lemon juice.

@aaronbailey9454 4 ай бұрын

If you’re not slicing them right away you can also smash them with your palm, or squeeze them with your finger on one end and your thumb on the other. The reason the jar method didn’t work is because certain times of the year, the skin is harder to remove. I can never remember when that is 😆.

instead of croutons, you can fry a whole box of panko breadcrumbs in about 1/4c of olive oil. That keeps in a quart container for months. It gives you the glassy crunch of croutons without having to figure out how to get them on your fork. (from Brian Lagerstrom's Weeknighting Cesar Salad)

I pickle a lot of my veggies and eat them as a side dish instead of a salad. Great as a snack too. I slice stuff like cabbage, cauliflower, onions and maybe use a potato peeler to make thin slices of carrots. I put it all in a big container and pour a simple pickling juice over it. 2 parts vinegar 1 part water and a little bit of salt and sugar. It goes well with steak and chicken and even in tacos. I also eat a lot of pickled chilies. Just slice them really thin and put them in a bowl with a cup of vinegar 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of coarse salt. When the salt and sugar is dissolved it goes in a jar in the fridge. Great for sandwiches, omelets and so on.

@anduong8669 4 ай бұрын

For the beets, I wash/scrub them, then wrap them individually in foil ( no need to dry). Bake them on a sheet pan for about 40 min. (The bigger the beet, the longer you’ll want to roast it). They’re ready when fork tender. When they’re cool enough to peel (easier to peel when still warm), take a paper towel and use it to start peeling. Once peeled, slice into bite size pieces. My coworker does not like beets but when she tasted my roasted beets, she was pleasantly surprised. Try cooking at least 1 beet this way and see what you think.

Careful with that. Most pre-peeled garlic is produced in China from slave labor sourced from prisoners. Oftentimes their fingernails fall off and must resort to using their teeth to peel them. Better off smashing the cloves to get the peel off, or buy a garlic press if you use a lot of minced garlic.

I used to hate dealing with garlic. Now I freeze whole heads of garlic. When I need a clove I pull one out and stick a paring knife into one and pull at an angle. The clove comes right out whole. Then I use a micro grater to shred it. Frozen garlic grates up beautifully. I've never had an issue with cooking it frozen, garlic cooks quickly. If desired you could let the grated garlic thaw for a minute though. Good luck!

The way my mom taught me how to peel garlic is to smash it with something slightly. The outer layer tends to stick together for the most part and gives you a decent crack to peel the rest of it off with. I use the flat end of a large knife but you could probably just use the jar. Don't crush it so hard that it becomes mush, just give it a good whack and it'll open up a bit and makes it super easy to peel. The super flaky outer layer I still just end up using my fingers but I think the problematic part is that hard shell around the actual garlic clove and this works like a charm

The jar trick is on the right track with the garlic, but what you need are two large bowls (metal or plastic). Put the garlic in one bowl, then put the other bowl top-side down onto the other, forming a dome. Hold the bowls together tight and then shake vigorously for a minute or less. That'll peel the garlic.

The knife smash is good for peeling garlic but the cloves will start to oxidise as soon as they are broken. Not a big deal if you are going to use them up quickly but not optimal (nutrition-wise) if you want to store them. An alternative is to toss the cloves in a bowl of cold water for 3-4 hours. The skins will swell and slip right off without breaking the cloves. Dry on a towel and store. I use this method when I want to prep large amounts of garlic (like 10+ heads at a time). Works a charm!

The title of this video alone ✨ also - for garlic, if you live near an Asian market (like H-Mart, Seafood City, 99 Ranch), they sell jars/containers of peeled garlic cloves in the refrigerated section by the produce.

This is a good video idea for me since I have a hard time buying and using vegetables outside of the basic ones and even then it is still difficult for me.

commercially garlic are peeled using compressed air , so if you have on of those in your garage, u can use it . there is a video about that on youtube also . Otherwise just smash and peel .

seen this on other sites but you can toast some garbanzo beans and use that instead of croutons. season as you like to get that flavor.

I make a similar beet smoothie drink to which I add some fresh ginger. Like the lime juice in yours in cuts down on that weird mud flavor beets have.

I make essentially that exact dressing regularly. It is definitely crave worthy. I do sometimes add egg yolk if my chicken is a little dry.

I wanna try this, but the idea of putting a raw egg yolk into a food that's not getting cooked freaks me out. Is it safe, or are there any tips on how to do this without risking salmonella? Thanks ahead of time!

Wow you and I are crazy similar when it comes to prepping vegetables. I get the same way with discolorations on Lettuce. If I see it end up in a salad of mine, i'll have a little section of the bowl where the discolored pieces are for me to throw out. 🤣

Garlic- you can try two different techniques. 1st is separate the cloves from the head and place them in a bowl and microwave for 10 seconds, allow to cool to touch (you'd be surprised how hot they get) then pinch the non root end and itll slip out. Well it will most of the time. 2nd The way i always resort to is laying the clove on the cutting board and using a large surfaced (i typically use my cleaver for this only and nothing else lol) knife and push down until you hear a pop or crunch. Then soice off the root part and the skins come off easily. I dont use my chef knife fornthe crushing because ive noticed the kife bows after a while. 😊

roasted beets are unmatched, apologies that you don't enjoy them. they are one of my favorites, so sweet and decadent especially topped with a balsamic sauce 😋

Do you still drink the veggie shakes as well? Its the one on your site. Or do you find this to be a better option in terms of overall nutrients?

@kalbokano2330 4 ай бұрын

Totally agree on the beets.

For the crunch w/ the salad in place of the croutons, try walnuts!

For me, to make garlic peeling easier I soak them in hot water (from the sink not boiling) for a couple of minutes. It helps with separating skin. It cook a bit so not sure about refrigerator aferward and it might affect the taste a little bit

💙 try making borscht soup…also a liquid-ish way of consuming beets but trust me…it’s fantastic! Plus, you can use a lot of other veggies in it like those carrots and celery you already prepped

@blackops9696 4 ай бұрын

To peel the skin off garlic easier, do a light blanch. Put the cloves in a pot of boiling water and take it out no more than a minute. It will make the skin come off easily and it won’t cook the garlic making it mushy.

As another adult who has issues with veggies, I go for pickled veggies and for sprouts. Sprouts are underrated

thank you for explaining about removing anything you don't like the look of. when i was younger it was always a hassle explaining to my mom that i do not want to eat X thing because of the way it looks. potatoes sprouting are still super gross to me, even though you can just remove them to a certain extent. any leafy greens that have bruising or discoloration are so off-putting, i end up just cutting them or tearing them off. it sucks, because i'm against food waste, but it makes it a lot easier to eat things when i know i've picked out the best parts of them

Highly recommend the pre-cooked, peeled vacuum-packed beets from costco & trader joe's. no mess, less dirt-y. great with feta. raw in a shake is way worse to me, and I LIKE these ridiculous things.
