They include Okinawan white bitter melon, beans such as succotash bean, greens such as Katsuona mustard, tatsoi, Castelfranco radicchio, and Nero di Toscana kale; squash such as Kabocha or Lady Godiva; dark tomatoes such as the Black Krim, and whole grains.
So happy to see this video! Dan Buettner has done years of research on the blue-zones & has written several books on it. I’ve actually read so many books & articles about it over the last few years. All five blue zones have certain things in common, one of which is that they all eat primarily plant-based!
Great info! Would love more videos with nutritional information like this.
Where has this channel been?!?! I am SOOO over excited now.😊 Lol I’ll make sure to check often for new videos.👌🏾
My small garden will be filled with all. Thank you.
Most of Asian markets sell Bitter Mellon & been eating for years so good for you 🍎🥬🥒🥦🥑🍆🌶
This helped me pick a few things to start seeds for here in Chicago, Thank you! I'm loving that you guys are making such cool content!Thank you!"Blessings of Bounty and May Your Gardens and your Life always Bring You Joy,Inspiration and Abundance!" - Hope
Just discovered Rareseeds--you guys rock !

You were meant to Teach
As for the Japanese bitter melon, if you remove the seeds and only eat the flesh, it'll taste less bitter and more enjoyable.
I 😍 Black Krim!
Dr.Gundry who resigned from being the head heart surgeon in Lomalinda Ca, and left his practice to help people on the other end of the spectrum and see if he can educate people to live healthier lifestyles and avoid a trip to see a heart surgeon. He has written a couple of books and has a lot of information online explaining Lectins and the affects they may have on our health. Based on his research, All of the foods you mentioned would need certain perperations to break down the lectins before consuming. Some people are in this camp of thinkers, many are not and poo poo Dr. Gundrys work and research.
Thank you for taking the time to produce these videos and provide so much useful information. I've never grown (or eaten) bitter melon. Looks like I'll have to "give it a go" for my 2020 garden. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA -- 7/26/2019.
This was a superb video! Would love to see how you incorporate the bitter melon into your smoothies. Some recipe videos using the foods you showcased would be a great follow-up. Thank you for a job well done.
I really enjoy your videos. I just made my first order to Baker creek and I am look forward to the diversity I can add to my diet. Thanks for your good information.
In Trinidad and Tobago when it's green we cut it into slices,put salt on it and leave it in the sun to dry (I believe this removes most of the very bitter taste) then sauté it with other vegetables and herbs. When it's ripe however you can have its pulp.
Awesome Shannie thank you again...love it.😀
Thank you for taking the time to teach us.
Bitter Melon is actually traditionally eaten sauted with SPAM in a dish called Goya Champur. This is basically a stir fry. If you want to get rid of some of the bitter flavor, do a quick pickle. Slice them up and mix with salt or salt water. After half an hour wash off the salt and they are ready to cook.
So glad that I already have most of these seeds thanks to Baker Creek! I planted Nero do Toscana three days ago into pods and I already have 3/4” tall sprouts for fall! Tatsoi is going in tomorrow and I have seventeen varieties of squash growing now (including all of those listed here). Zone 8b, PNW -everything is growing beautifully (and weren’t at ALL negatively affected by the recent heat spells!)
