They’re quite large and lovely and we sometimes have them at my local grocery. Black on the outside, white on the inside and can be quite sharp tasting. I usually shred them with my little Japanese wonder-shredder and use them for crunch in a salad, but I had a half of one that needed using up one day so I cut it up and stuck it in with the other veggies du jour. It was quite nice.

Good question Roscoe and I don't know the answer. I've read probably 40 books about diet in the past 30 years. Not how to lose weight, but what's the healthiest way to eat: Fit for Life, The Paleo Diet, Eat Right for Your [Blood] Type, The Total Health Cookbook, The Body Ecology Diet, etc. There's a lot of agreement that raw fruits and veggies (and even meats) are best for us. Then Body Ecology says you shouldn't eat raw cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, e.g.). Others say avoid whole grains. Others say they're essential. There's food-combining, which my body likes, etc. In general, I know that fresh veggies are healthier, but they need to be consumed quickly after picking and they need to be grown with organic, or better yet, biodynamic methods. It seems like you're more conscious of healthy eating habits than most Americans. 90% of the money spent on food in this country is for processed foods. I'm starting by bringing awareness to what real food is and trying to make it appetizing and simple to prepare. I'd be happy if I could get 20 people out of the interior of the grocery store and into the perimeter of the store. (Well, happy for a short time. I have bigger goals but I'm starting gently. It's that wily old teacher thing. Draw people in so gradually they don't even know they've made major shifts in thinking by the end of the semester.)

Looks easy enough. Is there a significant loss of nutritional value with roasting versus raw? I like juicing them, but what important food components are you discarding with the leftover pulp after juicing?

Yum. I love veggies, and roasted is easy and delicious. I needed you to remind me though….this technique had half-slipped off my back burner.

I used to do my asparagus this way and then sprinkle them with a bit of balsamic and parmesan.
