Please forgive me if this suggestion is redundant...I'm afraid I lost track
of the 'basil thread'. What I do with my fresh herbs, as recommended in
"American Wholefoods Cuisine", is make herb cubes.
Take your basil leaves and toss them in a blender. Add enough pure water
and blend to make a coarse puree. Turn into ice-cube trays and freeze.
Store in zip-lock bags and add to salad dressings, soups, veggie stews, and
sauces as needed.
Speaking of questions, I have one...that I KNOW has been asked many times
before. <blush> I've been trying to recover the nutritional value of TVP
in the h**burger and c**cken styles. In particular, the calorie value
according to measure as well as the calcium would be a super help. I've
checked different websites for the info, but to no avail. Thank you to
anyone for taking the time...and I promise to pay closer attention in the
future!
