Re: Sugar! Why not???
Hello again Denise,
There is NO sugar added to this drink - only the natural sweetness from the vegetables.
In my other cooking, I do NOT use turbinado nor Rapidura. Are you new to mb? Have you taken cooking classes? When I first started I often used juice concentrates and maple syrup. Then I progressed to rice syrup and barley malt. Now with the help of my order from Gary (on this site, natural discount) I will be using amasake, and hopefully be making amasake. I also use fruit, fresh and dried.
When cooking any vegetables, the less water you use, the more of the taste of the vegetable will be left in the vegetable. (in the sweet vegetable drink you do not eat the vegetables, as all the sweetness has gone into the liquid) Yes, there are more sweeter squashes than others, but I'm not the one to answer you on that. Ask the green grocer that you buy from.
Also, good chance if they are organic, they may have even more flavor. I just came back from a visit to the States and couldn't wait to try all the wonderful organic squashes that I've been hearing about. I made a special trip to Whole Foods and was greatly disappointed to find none of the squashes were organic, and also that they didn't have that large a selection. Perhaps it's the wrong time of the year?? btw, sometimes just a drop of salt as you are cooking can bring out more sweetness, both from fruits and from vegetables.
