    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!
    Swiss Chard was eaten raw approximately 263 days out of the past year in my home. It has transformed me into a superhuman being.
    When i clicked on that site, the first thing i noticed was the Minute Rice ad at the top of the page. That should give you some clue as to the Food Network's orientation. I wouldn't go looking for raw recipes at mainstream cooking sites. Try www.goneraw.com for more delicious raw recipes than you can shake a leaf at.

      p.s. During the remaining 102 days, kale was eaten raw in my home. That is probably even less likely to be eaten raw by muggles.

          never heard of not eating raw collards. prefer to use them for my wraps over anything else. yummy and meaty.
          i eat raw lacinato kale all the time. makes me feel good and i like the taste.
          raw chard is nasty and burns my mouth.

            I got a belly ache when I ate raw kale... then I tried it in a smoothie to see if that would help, and still had belly trouble. I don't have a juicer. Has anyone else experienced this, without juicing the stuff?? Just wondering.

              Not with kale, but definitely with chard. My raw chard experiences always lead me to many belly problems.

              yes!! but I asked Vicoria boutanko about it and she said it was my 20 year old vitamix blenders fault. ( or any cheap blender would do the same) she said it wasn't breaking down the greens down enough to be assimilatable for me and that i really needed to invest in a newer vitamix. well I did and now the issue is solved.

    Thank you all for your kind replies. I was visiting that particular site because I'm a newbie and I don't have information on what is in season and when, how to store different types of produce, how long it can be stored, etc. Does any one have a good source for this information? I have pieced together some information from several different sources, but I have yet to find one source has everything I need.
