Editing Talk:Make plants digestible (section)

== older version of preliminary outline, i wrote awhile back ==
[page titles i was thinking of at the time: "vegetable puree" or "boil and blend"]
* Why: Absorbability, convenience, getting enough vegetables into your stomach
* What: Carrots, cabbage, ginger, garlic, onions, soybeans, beans, chickpeas, peas, lentils, boiled peanuts/almonds, add spices and salt. No fixed recipe required. Pictures.
** things not recommended: potatoes or anything starchy
* How: Clean up the veg (cut of any bad bits if there are) (soak, if beans or nuts) (optional freeze-thaw) (chop probably) and then most importantly: Boil and blend
** idea for a machine that can do some of this automatically. probably can't do the cleaning part but can do the boil/blend part more efficiently, can produce a lot without having to juggle so many containers
** or, just get big pots and containers (so then put in the 'see also' - [[second-hand kitchenware]], which btw should mention about [[home waste]])
* Mention: For beans, keep the cooking water and maybe even the soaking water. Common myth about flatulance from that water - not true; flatulance comes from undercooked beans. You digest beans a lot better when they're overcooked and mushy - and at that point, most of the nutrients are in the cooking water. Don't let looks deceive you - the water might seem unappealing at first, but after you add vegetables and turn it into a soup, it's really good.
