Yes, it's great for stocks!

Oh wow! That's right, I forgot about that! :D Thanks for the reminder :)

Good idea! I absolutely hate wasting anything.

Jennifer Kepler - Thank you.

That's a great idea!

how do u know

Still a teen, but I can pretend

why😅

im 14 hehehe

😂😂😂

BooS boards are pure Gold. Excellent quality.

I'm so glad you've learned tons of new things here at Downshiftology 😊 I hope you continue to enjoy all my recipes as well!

haha, me too! A work colleague linked to her food prep videos for a health challenge we are doing. Great tips and recipes. yum.

Where can I buy a spiralizer?

💯😅

You're welcome! Hopefully it planted a little seed of future recipes ideas. :) x

Where can you I purchase this brand of Spirolizor? Can you please tell me the cost?

I thought the same thing after filming! Especially as I can sometimes be a klutz. Lol! ;) x

Deadbeets are the worse...

You are lovely. Don't cry onions. A Good Oxygenated washing powder will clean Beet Stains.

Good info ! Thank you ! Who knew that you could spiralize all of these things ! I've been limiting myself.... but no more

Es chola, pues

Yes! And these are my favorite veggies, but there's so much more as well. :)

Had no idea you could spiralize a sweet potato or yam! Wow! I’m purchasing one for myself and family who are healthy eating conscience! Thanks for the great demo!

Me neither! I was the most surprised by the onion. I would never think to try that one.

Its fun but quite an arm workout if you are doing a lot at a time

Ikr I don’t even eat some of these vegetables normally but I just wanna go buy them just to spiralize

Thanks so much for all your support and glad you're enjoying Downshiftology videos 😊

The options really are endless. :) Next week I have a new recipe coming to the blog with spiralized cabbage, so you may be interested in that one. Thanks Mary!

Time for me to buy a "big" spiralizer. My little one does great for zucchini, but was a massive fail on a bell pepper.

Yeah. The little ones definitely have a harder time with odd shapes and harder veggies (like parsnips and sweet potatoes). I think once you buy a "big" one you'll be glad you did. ;) x

Thanks for keeping us posted

Black radish is one of my favorite vegetables. It’s used a lot in Eastern European cuisine.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Downshiftology how long long will these vegetables? After you spiralize these vegetables?

I thought a cucumber was a fruit. It has seeds, so I've been thinking that since forever.

What is the brand name Of the spiralizer you are using please?

That's the best kind of workout. ;) Thanks so much BJ! xo

You're welcome! Glad you got a little inspiration from yet! :) x

Fingers crossed it works for you! My niece and nephew love spiralized veggies. :) x

I'll report back!

pantsongrnd this is the best way, that’s how I was raised and all my siblings love veg

You're welcome! :)

Yes! So true. Real food is quite spectacular. :)

Wonderful! Have fun spiralizing all the veggies! :)

Yes, brightly colored veggies can definitely stain, so it's always best to wash right away. But all that color just means lots of healthy nutrients and antioxidants for the body! :)

Yes, totally worth the immediate cleanup.

Yay! Hope you enjoy it!

I'm happy you enjoyed the video Lisa and thanks so much for you kind words! As long as you have a spiralizer that works for you, that's all that matters. :) x

Great tip about the onions - I'll give that a try. Thanks Diane!

You're welcome! Glad you enjoy them. :)

Happy to hear you're making the most out of your spiralizer Violet!

Maybe a future "what I eat in a day" - with only spiralized veggies. ;) x

@@Downshiftology Did you do a video ?

Thanks Cathy! I'm glad you found my site as well. I hope you enjoy all of my recipes! :)

Think of it like this... our cells are linked rooms with engines running in them. The mitochondria are the engines, and bio-copper and magnesium tune them to max energy and min acidic exhaust. The copper-bases anti-oxidant enzymes are like a catalytic converter. They reduce the acidic exhaust when working correctly. When bio-copper is low, the mitochondria perform like anhootpie on the road pitching out black smoke and chugging along. The Root Cause Protocol focuses on optimizong the engine and the catalytic converter. Vegans and alkalarianism is blind to this component. If these don't work right because bio-copper is low, you will have oxidative stress issues and inflammatory issues no matter what your diet looks like. However, the Root Vause Protocol is blind to the state of the room in which the engine and catalytic converter operate, and how diet can impact that room. On an acidic diet, the body bruns up alkaline minerals, and copper according to Dr. Young, to neutralize thenexcess acid. That's instant bio-copper depletion right there, even if you follow the RCP, which does not take into account this acidic effect of one's diet. So, you need two things working... the room (and interstitial fluid) should be alkaline (or at least not uber acid and on its way towards alkaline), the mitochondria needs to be properly tuned with bio-copper and magnesium, and the copper-based antioxidant enzymes need to be fully energized. ... The solution is to eat alkaline, along with the highest quality natural organ meats and the highest quality cod liver oil.

You're welcome! Have fun with it!

Thanks so much! And that would be fab! ;) But I just honestly eat this way so it's easy to create content. ❤️

Well good on you lady~ This is the only way I can make my boyfriend eat a ton of veggies happily. :/

Haha. And you gotta do whatever works!

Definitely, I subscribed right away. Healthy cooking and she makes the instructions clear and simple.

You're welcome Georgia! x

You're welcome! Happy you found it helpful - and yes, it's so easy to do those other veggies. :)

CleverEwe hey check this easy recipe with the ultra chef blender. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7J_fsaJx57HfHU.html

Glad you found it helpful! And yes, those gloves are key with beets. ;)

It's the best tool! 😊

I tend to take kitchen scissors and snip every few spins

Just cut it with scissor easy as 123

Haha. They all seemed average sized on my end (and they were all organic - so no frankenveggies). Perhaps it's the angle of the video camera? ;) x

Teresa Durham vegetables are normally huge

food at the supermarket is usually under ripe and small

Haha, good question! ;) You'll definitely love the spiralizer for salads (and many other things).

Lots of creative recipes you can make with it!

yes.. looks very time consuming

Me! Haha, I'm super excited to use mine! 😄

Me!! So excited

If they need YT they'll never figure it out.

Yay! Happy to provide a little inspiration. :)

Yes, definitely!

You're welcome Sandrine! ❤️

.uijjn

It really is easy! Which makes preparing healthy meals all the better. :) x

Yes - there's so much you can do with it! And the cabbage is perfect for coleslaw during the summer months. :)

Thanks so much - I really appreciate it! :)

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Thanks Steph! And that's a great idea. Will have to ponder that one. :)

Salads are one of the dishes you can make. You can also use these Spiral Veggies to decorate the Main Course Dishes You Have Made For Lunch and Dinner

@@Downshiftology I Yes please! If these are your most commonly used foods, how would you use them? I was curious about the starchy vegetables like sweet potato and parsnip. Would they work as a semi cooked pasta? Also the apple! Wow! Thanks 😊

Özlem Güler When I’m in a time crunch and I need to cook something quick, I’ll make spaghetti using zucchini noodles for me and sweet potato noodles for my daughter. I love the sweet potato noodles, but I don’t need all those carbs. So yes, they work nicely as a pasta substitute.

Thanks for that tip! Much appreciated :)

Thanks! It's nice to have a little reminder of everything the spiralizer can do. :) x

I definitely think a Paderno spiralizer (or similar) is the way to go. It really opens up the options to larger fruits and veggies...and your wrist will thank you. ;) So happy you found my channel Emily and thanks for subscribing. Welcome to the Downshiftology community! xx

Not only does it save on the wrist, but you get 3 blades which do so much more than the twisting models. When I was reading reviews, many complained the Starfrit model didn't have good suction cups. I see the Paderno does. When I bought my similar model (ThinkKitchen), I mentioned this to the saleslady and she took the display model pressed it onto the counter. Then had trouble releasing it. LOL When I tried it at home, I realized all you need to do is slip your fingernail partially under it and it releases fine.

OOPS, I should also add that if you have the money, Paderno now has a 4 blade model that is getting rave reviews.

Yes - good suction cups are key! I've never had a problem with mine (even after nearly 6 years) and you're right Sue, just stick your nail under to release (my Paderno actually has a little tab you can pull). But easy peasy!

Both models are fab!

Thanks so much! And yes, if you make it fun for kids (my niece and nephew love to spiralize) it's much easier to get them to eat vegetables. :)

That's awesome! And yes, the consistency can be anything from firm to al dente to soft. Good for you! xx

Hi Billy, What is a Zoodle? is it a particular type of veggie or any veggie that has been made to look like a noodle? What veggie did you get your boyfriend to eat?

I'll bet he just pretended to let you trick him.....after that what happened? Oldest trick in the book....probably not his first time either....

kDawnf If he's there that much, he might enjoy joining in the cooking.

@@MDSkarin Zoodle=zucchini noodle

Wow I never even thought of it, thanks for the great idea

Make sure your knife is sharp af, and your onion cold. Makes a world of difference.

I wear my contacts when cutting onions. No tears!

Me too but I have never used them for onions.

Aww, thanks so much for your kind words! And welcome to the community. :) x

It's one of my favorite tools to use ❤️

Hi Donna - I just added it into the description box for you! You can also play around with multiple blades for each vegetable/fruit, so it just depends on your preference. :)

Yes, absolutely! So many delicious options. :)

Downshiftology isn't an eggplant to soft?

abc defg I tried eggplant and it was a disaster. But potato and squash do well

How exciting! Can't wait for you to make all my spiralized recipes now 😊

Yay! Thanks Elizabeth. :) x

Haha. I say go for it! ;)

I can just see how much more enticing a salad will be with onions, peppers and cucs done this way.

wellsparker hey. Easy recipe with the ultra chef blender. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7J_fsaJx57HfHU.html

When cutting onions breathe in thru your mouth and out thru your nose and you will never cry

That's a bummer to hear about your spiralizer. Maybe there was something glitchy with it? The good news is they're only $20 so perhaps a new one will do the trick! Especially now that you've got lots of veggie inspiration. ;)

Those vertical spiralizers are good if you only plan to do zucchini (or narrow veggies). But unfortunately larger veggies like cabbage, rutabaga, sweet potatoes, etc won't fit in the chute unless chopped down first. Just something to be aware of. :)

Downshiftology Thanks for the replies to you both. Yes! That was my first thought about the electric one. That's why I was initially intrigued by this video. Because you were spiralizing cabbage and onions :)

Chowi Simba Did someone say, electric??! Thank you so much for posting this link! I already have a regular spiralizer and I'm not overly happy with it. I don't care if I have to cut my produce down to fit in the shoot. This is more up my alley!

I had one like hers and the darn thing broke bit by bit. Then I invested in the attachment for my kitchenaid stand mixer. It's a beast.

Awesome!

@@carolineobrien6301 IKR

Woot! Congrats!

Yes, you can absolutely do jicama! And rutabaga, celery root, etc. So many options! :) x

Lol now I gotta have one!!!!

Haha. Why yes, you do! ;) x

I haven't. I have a feeling they may too soft, but if you try it let me know how it turns out!

I bought my first slow cooker last spring and am having so much fun with it. Never made more ribs in my life. LOL I decided to Google slow cooker and spiralized vegetables and boy, are there some really good links. Just passing this along in case others never thought to combine the two.

Thanks so much!

Everything is bigger in America, it's bizarre!

@@Pinponpan99 LOL I am here in USA and have NEVER seen such huge veggies!!!

The bigger, the more perfect = less taste and full of chemical.

interesting comment. Here in UK I go for WONKY carrots as they are a lot bigger and although they are cheaper by weight, the size can mean they are more expensive. Had one that weighed 1Kg once

I have more recipe ideas on my website. :)

Wonderful! Happy spiralizing Marcela 😊

Haha. If only. ;)

What about ham? Lol

I did like your demo, what kind if machine were you using?

Yes, but I wash veg because it's neccesary to remove bugs & afids.

It is a great habit to wash your vegetables to clean them, however it is wishful thinking to believe you can sterilize them of microbes like salmonella. Most often when salmonella from livestock runoff infects our produce and there are widespread outbreaks, the salmonella responsible for these outbreaks is deep inside plant structures Called the STOMA. Simply washing the vegetables will not clear the microbes. Cooking the vegetables is the only way to kill the microbes, and that is only if they are heat-labile.

Emm, excuse me, but no one clicks on the "how to spiralize veggies"-video to waste time on seeing how they're being washed. This is ridiculous criticism.

but that's why I went on line to see someone wash and spiralize

Perfect timing! And I've got a couple new spiralizer recipes coming to the channel soon - stay tuned! :) x
