What are elephant ear stems? These are the stalks of: Colocasia esculenta http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colocasia_esculentaThe stems are very spongy and I understand you are supposed to peel them before using. I sometimes wonder if this step is necessary. I use the stems in soups and stir fries. The leaves (I occasionally have these curried.) and tubers are also edible. Tubers are listed in SWAMI under "Taro, Tahitian, Poi, Dansheen" Note: My species identification was called into question in posts below.
This is what I eat looks like this: http://vietherbs.com/herb-directory/elephant-ear/
This Web page claims it is Alocasia Odora

My understanding is that in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran have a variety of carrots that lack pigments. I presume these would rate the same as regular carrots, but maybe not. For those that want to grow white carrots, I did find seeds online: http://www.reimerseeds.com/white-satin-carrots.aspxTurkey I understand has black carrots, which I find not very appealing. But they also have some pretty purple ones. |

Last year I had yellow, orange and white carrots Funny This year I grow regular and some pink ones. The pink ones are rather strong in flavour - works better roasted than raw. |

It can be called balsam apple or pear. SWAMI uses pear. Actually, Now I cannot find where I posted a gourd link.
Since "Malanga, Tannier, Xanthosoma" was added under "carbohydrates", I presume it refers to the starchy tubor and not the stems or leaves. There appears to be three genra of elephant ears: Alocasia, Colocasia and Xanthosoma I did not think I was dealing with Xanthosoma, but I may be wrong. I had thought Xanthosoma had redish or purple stems. But that appears just be the variety people grow here. I see green stems in some online pictures. The plants look right. What I eat is green on the outside, but a white spongy on the inside. Picture: http://vietherbs.com/herb-directory/elephant-ear/ |

Now that we talked so much about Balsam Pear, Balsam apple, Bitter Gourd, Bitter melon, it has got me thinking about the vines of bitter melons.
At the flea market near me, there is a vendor that sells the vines for eating. I got some once and read that you could use the leaves just like spinach.
So I made a smoothie with it. This was a mistake! I used up the rest of what I bought in stir fries--but I did not care for the taste of it.
Maybe I could learn to like the leaves, if I knew they were a diamond. But the fruit is only neutral for me, so I have not bought any more of the vines. |

maybe dried and ground into a powder might work as a spice, if compliant..... |

Yes, it can be. The seller usually provides that information. I use only Birch bark derived Xylitol from globalsweet.com |

I am not sure that Tom ported the list of foods when he migrated the er4yt-UK group to multiply. If he did, I do not see it. "To find out what listed American foods are in English, select the relevant category from the menu on the left." I do not see any menu to use on the left. |

exotic fruits:
1. mangosteens
2. rambutans
3.chickus
4.Water apples (Jambu)
Mangosteens already included If chickus is Sapote it is alrady listed. If chickus is Sapodilla it is listed in vegetable protein If chickus is something else we may need a scientific name or more description to identify what it is. Jambu -- Until it listed I would assume its rating is similar to a Jambolan |

Asian food/drinks such as Chrysanthemum tea, wheatgrass, winter tea, grass jelly, herbal jelly, rose syrup, almond drink, Chinese herbs ( ie cooling tea/ liang cha). condiments such as Rice vinegar, rice wine. Fish such as Toman (Snakehead) Vegetables such as Bamboo shoots, Lotus root, lotus paste (commonly used in mooncakes). Also, Vegetable Oil, Palm oil, coconut milk, chinese five-spice powder, dried shrimp, shrimp paste, fish sauce, Pandan Leaves, century egg, quail eggs.
You may want to look at the existing list before saying that foods need to be added. almond drink - almond milk is alread listed. Almond drink can mean a variety of things. The rating system needs something with a fixed composition. You will probably need to go by the individual ingredients in your beverage product. Rice vinegar presumably covered by "Vinegar, all types" Bamboo shoots currently listed Lotus root currently listed Vegetable Oil for foods to be listed they need to have a fixed composition. Do you mean Soy, corn, cottonsed, something else? dried shrimp, shrimp paste Shrimp is currently listed You may have to rely on that listing for the time being quail eggs-already listed |
