My name is Evita Tezeno.
00:00:29.96\00:00:31.66
And my name is Brenda Kemp.
00:00:31.69\00:00:33.29
Thanks for joining us today.
00:00:33.33\00:00:35.06
Brenda, you know
I'm from the south.
00:00:35.10\00:00:37.77
Yes, I do.
00:00:37.80\00:00:39.13
And what is the best thing?
00:00:39.17\00:00:41.07
Apple Pie. Yes!
00:00:41.10\00:00:43.30
And guess what you don't
have to give up apple pie
00:00:43.34\00:00:45.57
when they become raw.
00:00:45.61\00:00:47.01
You're gonna
make apple pie today?
00:00:47.04\00:00:48.38
Yes, I am.
00:00:48.41\00:00:49.74
Let's make apple pie.
00:00:49.78\00:00:51.11
And the ingredients are...
00:00:51.15\00:00:52.65
For the crusts we'll
need 2 cups of raw almonds,
00:00:52.68\00:00:56.08
1 cup of raisins, 1
cup of pitted dates,
00:00:56.12\00:00:59.82
2 teaspoons of vanilla
extract and a pinch of sea salt.
00:00:59.85\00:01:04.93
Let's, gets started...
00:01:04.96\00:01:06.49
Let's, do it.
00:01:06.53\00:01:07.86
Okay, let's start with almonds.
00:01:07.90\00:01:10.07
There you go.
00:01:10.10\00:01:11.43
And raisins and pitted
dates and they have been soaked.
00:01:13.64\00:01:18.11
Vanilla extracts and salt.
00:01:20.28\00:01:24.58
Oh, let's get the...
00:01:26.48\00:01:27.82
The plate ready so we could
go ahead and put the crust.
00:01:27.85\00:01:30.09
This is gonna need a
little stirring around.
00:01:37.49\00:01:40.36
Yeah, I can see
some of the almonds...
00:01:41.70\00:01:43.10
Yes, 'cause this
is not breaking up.
00:01:43.13\00:01:44.87
Just a little encouragement.
00:01:47.07\00:01:49.07
Hmm, smells good.
00:01:49.10\00:01:50.44
Um-hmm.
00:01:50.47\00:01:51.97
It's gotta being stubborn today.
00:02:00.48\00:02:01.82
It's a little stubborn today.
00:02:01.85\00:02:03.69
It's probably got
that stuck into the blade.
00:02:08.89\00:02:10.49
Yeah, that's
what the problem is.
00:02:10.53\00:02:12.66
Here, we go.
00:02:17.97\00:02:19.30
Come, on.
00:02:21.87\00:02:23.20
Okay,
00:02:33.62\00:02:35.72
it's still not.
00:02:35.75\00:02:37.15
It still need to
chop that some more.
00:02:37.19\00:02:38.52
It's been a
little, little stubborn.
00:02:38.55\00:02:40.69
So when you're doing
this in your kitchen,
00:02:43.06\00:02:44.69
you have to be a little patient
00:02:44.73\00:02:46.09
because sometimes
things don't work exactly
00:02:46.13\00:02:48.73
how you want them to work.
00:02:48.76\00:02:50.43
It's because of this.
00:02:50.47\00:02:52.90
You got to
pulse it a little bit.
00:02:52.93\00:02:54.80
It will work a little
bitter when you pulse it.
00:02:54.84\00:02:57.47
Here, it goes.
00:03:01.44\00:03:02.88
Okay, that
looks a little better.
00:03:05.51\00:03:07.68
Yes, a little better.
00:03:07.72\00:03:09.05
It's a little
chunky but that's good.
00:03:09.08\00:03:11.05
Yes, so you press it in the pan.
00:03:11.09\00:03:14.16
It's so nice.
00:03:16.83\00:03:18.16
Um-hmm.
00:03:18.19\00:03:19.53
Are we gonna put it on edges
or we just gonna plate it...
00:03:19.56\00:03:21.90
We are gonna put it
on the edges as well.
00:03:21.93\00:03:24.53
So...
00:03:24.57\00:03:25.93
I would help you but I
don't want to get all gooey.
00:03:25.97\00:03:27.90
Let's do it real quickly.
00:03:30.44\00:03:33.24
So, Brenda,
00:03:33.27\00:03:37.05
what is your favorite fruit?
00:03:37.08\00:03:39.71
Well, I kinda like apples.
00:03:39.75\00:03:42.05
And you know, there are so many
different varieties of apples.
00:03:42.08\00:03:45.32
Oh, that's bright.
00:03:45.35\00:03:46.69
What type of apple did
we use for this recipe?
00:03:46.72\00:03:48.42
We used...
00:03:48.46\00:03:49.79
It looks like
Gala apples, right?
00:03:49.82\00:03:51.16
It didn't say but we
used Gala apples for this one.
00:03:51.19\00:03:55.73
Yeah, Gala apples was...
00:03:55.76\00:03:57.10
But Granny Smith
wouldn't be good for this kind.
00:03:57.13\00:03:58.77
Yeah, it will be a little tart.
00:03:58.80\00:04:01.20
Right.
00:04:01.24\00:04:02.57
Yeah.
00:04:02.60\00:04:03.97
So, Gala apples are
really, really sweet
00:04:04.01\00:04:07.58
and also Fuji
apples are sweet too.
00:04:07.61\00:04:10.48
And Fuji apples and Gala apples
are really good and juicy.
00:04:10.51\00:04:14.08
You smell this?
00:04:17.19\00:04:18.52
Hmm, I smell it.
00:04:18.55\00:04:19.89
This smells so good.
00:04:19.92\00:04:24.26
Let me get that, right there.
00:04:24.29\00:04:25.63
Yes.
00:04:25.66\00:04:27.00
Okay, looking good.
00:04:29.53\00:04:31.57
Looking good.
00:04:31.60\00:04:33.10
When we get through
the patting their crust,
00:04:36.74\00:04:39.67
let's do the syrup now.
00:04:39.71\00:04:41.54
Okay. Okay.
00:04:41.58\00:04:42.91
So, the
ingredients for the syrup are,
00:04:42.94\00:04:45.15
a half cup of pitted
dates or 1 cup of raisins,
00:04:45.18\00:04:48.98
and 1 organic orange.
00:04:49.02\00:04:50.92
So, these are
raisins that have been soaked
00:04:53.25\00:04:58.89
and this orange juice is
a fresh orange that has...
00:04:58.93\00:05:01.96
Been juiced? Been juiced. Yes.
00:05:02.00\00:05:04.47
Okay.
00:05:04.50\00:05:05.83
And we process it.
00:05:08.70\00:05:10.14
Love the Vitamix.
00:05:31.49\00:05:32.83
It blended that in
about, what 30 seconds or so?
00:05:32.86\00:05:34.63
Yeah.
00:05:34.66\00:05:36.06
Wonderful!
00:05:36.10\00:05:37.43
Now, lets get the apples ready
00:05:37.47\00:05:40.14
and this is for the filling.
00:05:40.17\00:05:43.77
And the recipe
for the filling is...
00:05:43.81\00:05:46.11
5-6 whole apples, sliced,
1 cup of organic raisins,
00:05:46.14\00:05:51.25
1 tsp of cardamom
and 1 tsp of coriander.
00:05:51.28\00:05:56.65
Here we go.
00:05:56.69\00:05:58.02
Now, smell this.
00:05:59.59\00:06:03.16
Umm.
00:06:03.19\00:06:05.39
Amazing!
00:06:05.43\00:06:07.56
Need a spoon.
00:06:07.60\00:06:08.93
Okay, yes.
00:06:08.96\00:06:10.43
This is the coriander,
00:06:10.47\00:06:14.20
cardamom...
00:06:14.24\00:06:16.37
and the raisins.
00:06:16.40\00:06:19.07
Do you want to stir it?
00:06:19.11\00:06:20.44
I'm gonna stir it. Yeah.
00:06:20.48\00:06:21.81
Oh, smell that.
00:06:21.84\00:06:23.24
Um, oh my goodness.
00:06:23.28\00:06:26.31
And we're mixing
it really good here,
00:06:26.35\00:06:30.15
getting those apples
00:06:30.19\00:06:31.52
all covered with
that fabulous syrup.
00:06:31.55\00:06:34.22
Wow!
00:06:38.59\00:06:39.93
Look at that,
00:06:39.96\00:06:41.30
we're gonna need a larger spoon.
00:06:41.33\00:06:44.20
That spoon is a
little bit too small.
00:06:44.23\00:06:46.57
It's weak, but it's working.
00:06:46.60\00:06:48.97
Okay, so now we
just scoop it up in here.
00:06:49.00\00:06:54.38
And you know, we can
have pie for breakfast.
00:06:59.78\00:07:02.38
Another pie for breakfast...
00:07:02.42\00:07:03.75
Another pie for
breakfast, isn't that amazing?
00:07:03.79\00:07:06.42
Okay.
00:07:11.39\00:07:13.13
So, we have a little
bit too much for our bowl
00:07:13.16\00:07:16.40
so we are just gonna...
00:07:16.43\00:07:17.77
Just a little bit...
00:07:17.80\00:07:19.13
Just put a little bit more.
00:07:19.17\00:07:20.50
Oops!
00:07:20.54\00:07:21.87
We wanna have a overstuffed pie.
00:07:21.90\00:07:23.24
Yes.
00:07:23.27\00:07:24.61
Let me get some
of these raisins.
00:07:24.64\00:07:26.07
Okay.
00:07:26.11\00:07:28.51
Let's save this for later.
00:07:28.54\00:07:29.88
Yeah, save that for later.
00:07:29.91\00:07:32.45
And there we have it,
00:07:32.48\00:07:34.92
a raw apple pie.
00:07:34.95\00:07:36.99
Veggies best kept secret?
00:07:45.43\00:07:47.66
You're telling me
that the veggie kingdom
00:07:47.70\00:07:49.50
or the plant
kingdom has a secret?
00:07:49.53\00:07:51.43
Why will they
keep a secret from us?
00:07:51.47\00:07:53.17
Well, in all actuality
00:07:53.20\00:07:54.54
they really
haven't kept a secret,
00:07:54.57\00:07:56.87
it's just something that
00:07:56.91\00:07:58.24
we just don't take advantage of.
00:07:58.27\00:07:59.84
And I want to ask
you a quick question,
00:07:59.87\00:08:02.14
I'll give you may be a
second or two to answer it.
00:08:02.18\00:08:04.25
Who can tell me what is
veggies best kept secret?
00:08:04.28\00:08:06.95
Which of the veggies, I know
there's a lot of them around.
00:08:06.98\00:08:09.72
You know, we have
broccolis and you know, carrots
00:08:09.75\00:08:12.35
and we can go on and on
00:08:12.39\00:08:14.52
of all the different types
of veggies that are out there
00:08:14.56\00:08:16.89
and all of them
are good for something.
00:08:16.93\00:08:18.29
Like we just said broccoli,
00:08:18.33\00:08:19.66
good for cancer
and good for the heart.
00:08:19.69\00:08:21.03
The carrots, of course,
00:08:21.06\00:08:22.40
we all know it's
good for the eyes
00:08:22.43\00:08:23.77
and also good for the skin,
00:08:23.80\00:08:25.13
I mean, all of these are great
00:08:25.17\00:08:26.90
but there is a
veggie that I believe,
00:08:26.94\00:08:29.17
now the plants they
don't keep any secrets.
00:08:29.20\00:08:33.04
I just think it's a secret.
00:08:33.07\00:08:34.64
So, I believe it's
the king of all veggies
00:08:34.68\00:08:37.45
or the queen if
you want and I believe.
00:08:37.48\00:08:40.52
Do you know what it
is, have you guessed?
00:08:40.55\00:08:42.58
If not, it's one of my favorite.
00:08:42.62\00:08:45.02
It is the artichoke,
veggies best kept secret.
00:08:45.05\00:08:48.72
I consider it a royalty.
00:08:48.76\00:08:50.93
Why?
00:08:50.96\00:08:52.29
Because look at it, it
even looks like it has a crown
00:08:52.33\00:08:54.46
and for those who
don't know how to use it.
00:08:54.50\00:08:56.70
It's really spiky too
00:08:56.73\00:08:58.53
and the reason I
believe that it's like this,
00:08:58.57\00:09:00.97
it's because it has such gold.
00:09:01.00\00:09:03.41
You know, in Spanish
they would say "Otto"
00:09:03.44\00:09:06.04
such value to it
00:09:06.07\00:09:07.51
because this thing is
almost good for everything.
00:09:07.54\00:09:09.61
But let me stop here real quick
and here my little disclaimer.
00:09:09.64\00:09:13.21
Are we saying that
this is the cure of all?
00:09:13.25\00:09:15.05
No.
00:09:15.08\00:09:16.42
Are we saying that this is only
found in some special island
00:09:16.45\00:09:19.32
and you could
only get it from us?
00:09:19.35\00:09:20.69
No, no, no.
00:09:20.72\00:09:22.06
Everybody has
access to this in general
00:09:22.09\00:09:23.43
in one form or another.
00:09:23.46\00:09:24.79
So, I just want to
encourage you to go out and look
00:09:24.83\00:09:26.46
and a matter of fact I
believe you've seen this before.
00:09:26.49\00:09:29.26
Some of you all even know it.
00:09:29.30\00:09:30.83
I mean, this
thing is so powerful
00:09:30.87\00:09:33.23
if you look at a
lot of multi-vitamins,
00:09:33.27\00:09:35.40
you see something in there
00:09:35.44\00:09:36.77
and I'm gonna tell
you a special carbohydrate
00:09:36.81\00:09:38.51
that it contains.
00:09:38.54\00:09:39.87
But you something in
there that says artichoke.
00:09:39.91\00:09:41.48
You know why?
00:09:41.51\00:09:42.84
Cause even the
people who makes these items
00:09:42.88\00:09:44.58
they know how powerful it is.
00:09:44.61\00:09:46.78
So why can't we just go
00:09:46.82\00:09:48.68
and get it from
the source itself.
00:09:48.72\00:09:51.42
This thing is
amazing, like I said,
00:09:51.45\00:09:53.59
I think many of us have even
passed it in the super market
00:09:53.62\00:09:56.16
and you probably would
just walk in and saying, "Man,
00:09:56.19\00:09:58.46
what is that
strange looking veggie?"
00:09:58.49\00:10:00.70
Well, that
strange looking veggie,
00:10:00.73\00:10:03.03
is the artichoke
and as a matter of fact
00:10:03.06\00:10:05.73
a lot of times
you walk by it, why?
00:10:05.77\00:10:07.87
I even walked
by, a long time ago
00:10:07.90\00:10:09.30
because I didn't
know how to cook it.
00:10:09.34\00:10:10.67
How do you prepare this thing?
00:10:10.71\00:10:12.04
It looks so hard and I remember
one time I went to reach it
00:10:12.07\00:10:14.94
and then it struck
me and I was like "ouch!
00:10:14.98\00:10:16.81
I'm not gonna buy you anyway."
00:10:16.85\00:10:18.25
You know, but it's really simple
00:10:18.28\00:10:21.28
and another reason why I
think some of us have passed it,
00:10:21.32\00:10:23.22
is 'cause of the price.
00:10:23.25\00:10:25.19
Man, I was just, while I
was in the store the other day,
00:10:25.22\00:10:27.32
now unless you live in
a California and stuff.
00:10:27.36\00:10:29.56
You know, where they grow it,
the prices are probably cheap.
00:10:29.59\00:10:31.69
I was over there
sometime ago and I saw it.
00:10:31.73\00:10:34.13
I mean, normally this thing,
in New York and stuff like that
00:10:34.16\00:10:37.27
it's $399 for each.
00:10:37.30\00:10:40.14
And you think it's a special one
00:10:40.17\00:10:41.57
when they say
399 or 499 a pound.
00:10:41.60\00:10:44.17
So I usually don't
buy them all of the time,
00:10:44.21\00:10:46.21
I buy them once in a blue,
00:10:46.24\00:10:47.58
as a special
celebration for my body.
00:10:47.61\00:10:49.48
But when I was over there,
00:10:49.51\00:10:50.91
I saw them go for like
four for like a dollar.
00:10:50.95\00:10:53.95
Four for $2 and man, I
didn't have enough luggage
00:10:53.98\00:10:57.85
to buy it all and
bring it back with me
00:10:57.89\00:11:00.02
and then probably if I
did so, they'll go bad on me.
00:11:00.06\00:11:02.66
So, you know what?
00:11:02.69\00:11:04.03
Here's the good news,
00:11:04.06\00:11:05.39
you can find it in
another way as well
00:11:05.43\00:11:08.00
and you can find it in a can.
00:11:08.03\00:11:11.20
You can find it
in a can or a jar.
00:11:11.23\00:11:12.97
The only thing is when
you find it in a can or jar
00:11:13.00\00:11:15.44
and I'm pouring
it out here for you
00:11:15.47\00:11:16.81
so you can take
a quick look at it.
00:11:16.84\00:11:18.47
When you find
it in a can or jar,
00:11:18.51\00:11:20.54
the only catch is,
00:11:20.58\00:11:22.54
make sure that it doesn't have,
00:11:22.58\00:11:27.62
it's not stored in vinegar.
00:11:27.65\00:11:29.28
What I have here from that
can is the artichoke hearts
00:11:29.32\00:11:32.85
and some of the
leaves that go around it,
00:11:32.89\00:11:35.59
make sure it's
not stored in vinegar
00:11:35.62\00:11:37.56
cause what the vinegar would do,
00:11:37.59\00:11:38.93
the vinegar would
start breaking it down
00:11:38.96\00:11:40.30
and we already
know about vinegar.
00:11:40.33\00:11:41.66
We'll talk about
that another time,
00:11:41.70\00:11:43.26
that vinegar may
cause other problems.
00:11:43.30\00:11:45.30
But look at this.
00:11:45.33\00:11:46.67
Out of that little can that
I paid may be let's say 299,
00:11:46.70\00:11:50.17
I think I paid 3$ for it.
00:11:50.21\00:11:51.54
I've got two and four and
six and actually I have seven.
00:11:51.57\00:11:54.61
You all know that
seven is the perfect number,
00:11:54.64\00:11:56.44
so maybe there's a
blessing in the can.
00:11:56.48\00:11:58.28
But you can buy it that way
00:11:58.31\00:12:00.52
but sometimes it's always
good to go ahead and celebrate
00:12:00.55\00:12:03.15
by getting it afresh as well.
00:12:03.18\00:12:05.29
But now I've showed
you two different options
00:12:05.32\00:12:07.09
that you can access them
00:12:07.12\00:12:09.09
and now they're
starting to find that
00:12:09.12\00:12:10.53
this thing is so good,
00:12:10.56\00:12:11.89
you starting to see
even supplements made it,
00:12:11.93\00:12:13.26
you starting to
see drinks with it.
00:12:13.29\00:12:15.06
But get it
naturally from its source.
00:12:15.10\00:12:17.07
But the biggest
problem is not just the price,
00:12:17.10\00:12:19.93
many people would say
00:12:19.97\00:12:21.30
how in the world
do I cook that thing.
00:12:21.34\00:12:24.07
What do I do?
00:12:24.11\00:12:25.44
Number 1, I can't even
touch it cause it's sticking me.
00:12:25.47\00:12:28.91
Number 2, I don't
know what to do with it.
00:12:28.94\00:12:31.45
But even before we do that,
let me tell you real quick.
00:12:31.48\00:12:34.32
This thing is amazing,
00:12:34.35\00:12:35.68
like almost every
part of the body I saw,
00:12:35.72\00:12:37.52
it was good for.
00:12:37.55\00:12:38.89
It's good for the
heart and it helps there.
00:12:38.92\00:12:41.42
It also helps with
the blood pressure.
00:12:41.46\00:12:43.06
Do you know why it
helps with the blood pressure?
00:12:43.09\00:12:44.83
Because it has what is
known as a natural diuretic.
00:12:44.86\00:12:47.46
It has, you know
diuretic properties to it.
00:12:47.50\00:12:50.33
Many times if a person is like
00:12:50.37\00:12:52.17
they have high blood pressure
or something of that nature,
00:12:52.20\00:12:54.04
they'll take medication
00:12:54.07\00:12:55.40
and in that medication,
you'll already know it.
00:12:55.44\00:12:57.77
If you know somebody
that has that problem,
00:12:57.81\00:12:59.97
in that medication,
there's a item called a diuretic
00:13:00.01\00:13:02.84
because they are trying
to get rid of excess fluid,
00:13:02.88\00:13:05.21
you know, to
lower the blood volume
00:13:05.25\00:13:06.78
and stuff like that
00:13:06.82\00:13:08.68
and then lower that
blood pressure eventually.
00:13:08.72\00:13:10.69
But did you know,
00:13:10.72\00:13:12.05
this does that
naturally for you?
00:13:12.09\00:13:13.96
So go ahead and enjoy
it. What else is it good for?
00:13:13.99\00:13:16.42
Diabetics, diabetics
but here's the only thing
00:13:16.46\00:13:19.43
I want the
diabetics to listen out for.
00:13:19.46\00:13:21.46
Are you ready?
00:13:21.50\00:13:22.83
Because write a note,
00:13:22.86\00:13:24.20
don't be taking
this or using this
00:13:24.23\00:13:26.10
if you are not
checking yourself everyday
00:13:26.13\00:13:28.30
and your doctor already told you
00:13:28.34\00:13:29.67
to check this everyday.
00:13:29.70\00:13:31.04
You know why?
00:13:31.07\00:13:32.41
Because this thing works so well
00:13:32.44\00:13:33.78
that your blood sugars
may start to drop a little bit
00:13:33.81\00:13:35.28
and if you don't
know where you're at,
00:13:35.31\00:13:36.88
there's an old saying "how
can you know where your going
00:13:36.91\00:13:39.95
if you don't
know where your at?"
00:13:39.98\00:13:42.02
So let's know where we're at.
00:13:42.05\00:13:43.39
I have a little rule of thumb
that when you drive your car,
00:13:43.42\00:13:46.22
okay, I'm sure you all
drive or some of you all drive.
00:13:46.25\00:13:48.79
When you drive, how do you
know if there's gas in the car?
00:13:48.82\00:13:51.96
All right,
you'll are like, "Duh!
00:13:51.99\00:13:53.33
Obvious you know,
it's just the gas gauge."
00:13:53.36\00:13:55.76
Okay, that's true
00:13:55.80\00:13:57.13
but watch this
let's say God forbid,
00:13:57.17\00:13:59.20
we ran out of
gas one day, right?
00:13:59.23\00:14:01.20
And so we just call AAA
or some road side company
00:14:01.24\00:14:04.84
or you call your
friend or family,
00:14:04.87\00:14:06.21
"Hey, I'm on the
side of the highway.
00:14:06.24\00:14:07.58
Come and pick me up,"
or something like that.
00:14:07.61\00:14:09.08
They come and pick you up
00:14:09.11\00:14:10.45
and they just
bring more what, gas.
00:14:10.48\00:14:12.01
Okay, and your car started
and you go down road again.
00:14:12.05\00:14:15.25
All right, many
of us are doing that
00:14:15.28\00:14:17.82
we are covering the
gagauge of our life.
00:14:17.85\00:14:21.42
We are not
checking our blood pressure,
00:14:21.46\00:14:23.16
we are not
checking our blood sugars
00:14:23.19\00:14:25.26
and we are just
walking on our own on blindly
00:14:25.29\00:14:27.06
and one day we're
gonna bump ourselves
00:14:27.10\00:14:28.66
and we are gonna run out of gas.
00:14:28.70\00:14:30.23
And this time we are gonna
be on the side of the road.
00:14:30.27\00:14:32.10
But we just cant
call roadside assistants
00:14:32.13\00:14:34.10
to come and pick us up.
00:14:34.14\00:14:37.34
We may be in a hospital.
00:14:37.37\00:14:38.71
So please,
please start checking.
00:14:38.74\00:14:41.58
If you have been
diagnosed, check.
00:14:41.61\00:14:43.04
If you haven't been diagnosed,
00:14:43.08\00:14:44.41
just check anyways so
you know where you're at
00:14:44.45\00:14:46.15
so we all can
know where we're going.
00:14:46.18\00:14:47.68
Is that clear today?
00:14:47.72\00:14:49.05
Because this thing, it
has a carbohydrate, right.
00:14:49.08\00:14:51.62
Artichoke has a carbohydrate
called Inulin, okay.
00:14:51.65\00:14:55.89
Just make a note, not
"insulin" but what "inulin."
00:14:55.92\00:15:00.80
And what it does is, it gently
pulls down the blood sugars.
00:15:00.83\00:15:05.30
So, I know you
will be blessed by this
00:15:05.33\00:15:07.90
and here's the good thing.
00:15:07.94\00:15:09.27
When you choose fruit, you see
if you choose like supplements
00:15:09.30\00:15:11.21
or especially drinks or
all of these other items.
00:15:11.24\00:15:14.44
If you have a problem
00:15:14.48\00:15:15.81
it will help the problem, right?
00:15:15.84\00:15:17.18
But if you don't have a problem,
00:15:17.21\00:15:18.55
it will make your
normal health worse,
00:15:18.58\00:15:20.78
but when you choose fruit,
00:15:20.82\00:15:22.62
if you have a
problem, it will help you.
00:15:22.65\00:15:24.19
If you don't have a problem,
00:15:24.22\00:15:25.65
it will only
just make you stronger
00:15:25.69\00:15:27.96
to avoid that problem.
00:15:27.99\00:15:29.46
So I want to encourage people
to start choosing the fruit
00:15:29.49\00:15:32.03
and just because you
don't know how to cook it
00:15:32.06\00:15:34.06
or what to do with it,
00:15:34.10\00:15:35.63
don't stop giving
it a try, all right.
00:15:35.66\00:15:38.17
So let's go ahead
and let's go ahead
00:15:38.20\00:15:39.97
and cook this properly now.
00:15:40.00\00:15:41.54
It is really
simple how you do it.
00:15:41.57\00:15:43.14
There are so many ways to do it.
00:15:43.17\00:15:44.51
Today we are gonna do a
little roasted version of it
00:15:44.54\00:15:47.54
and I'll show you how
to prepare that, right now.
00:15:47.58\00:15:50.41
All you need is 2 artichokes,
1/3rd cup of lemon juice,
00:15:50.45\00:15:55.28
2 tbsps of
extra virgin olive oil
00:15:55.32\00:15:58.79
and 1 tsp of salt, sea salt.
00:15:58.82\00:16:02.89
Then you grab your
two artichokes here,
00:16:02.92\00:16:05.46
really simple and easy
00:16:05.49\00:16:06.83
and I have a
couple of other veggies
00:16:06.86\00:16:08.20
that I will show you
that's actually good as well.
00:16:08.23\00:16:09.86
It's kinda like the
best friends of artichoke
00:16:09.90\00:16:12.63
but I'll show you how
to prepare this first.
00:16:12.67\00:16:14.94
All you do is, you take your,
get yourself a sharp knife.
00:16:14.97\00:16:17.57
And I don't know if
it's a little funny.
00:16:17.61\00:16:20.18
But go ahead and
you will get that ready
00:16:20.21\00:16:23.65
but also, what we
could do first is,
00:16:23.68\00:16:25.15
we can remove some
of these leaves here.
00:16:25.18\00:16:27.58
Just remove the
outer leaves, okay.
00:16:27.62\00:16:29.98
And it's real simple
00:16:30.02\00:16:31.35
but be careful
of the little spines
00:16:31.39\00:16:33.46
and the little
stickers that it has
00:16:33.49\00:16:35.56
because when it stick you,
it doesn't feel good, okay.
00:16:35.59\00:16:39.49
So you could remove some
of it but here's the good news
00:16:39.53\00:16:42.36
a lot of people
like, "Aah, you wasting it,
00:16:42.40\00:16:44.13
I paid $4 for it.
00:16:44.17\00:16:46.00
Why am I getting
rid of all of it?"
00:16:46.03\00:16:47.77
Do you know, even the stems
00:16:47.80\00:16:49.40
and the leaves of this
thing is excellent, excellent?
00:16:49.44\00:16:52.11
So don't throw those away.
00:16:52.14\00:16:53.48
You can take that
00:16:53.51\00:16:54.84
and you can put that in some
broth or something like that
00:16:54.88\00:16:57.65
and then boil out
some of the good nutrients
00:16:57.68\00:17:01.48
and items that it has in there.
00:17:01.52\00:17:03.55
And then after you got
till you reach to that stage,
00:17:03.59\00:17:07.12
you can see that
here, real nice and simple,
00:17:07.16\00:17:09.62
then you go ahead and
you cut the top a bit, okay.
00:17:09.66\00:17:12.93
Make sure that you
get yourself a good knife.
00:17:12.96\00:17:16.00
Just cut the top a bit.
00:17:16.03\00:17:17.37
You remove that,
00:17:17.40\00:17:18.73
remember, every part
of this is good for you.
00:17:18.77\00:17:20.34
Look at that, isn't she pretty?
00:17:20.37\00:17:22.00
Oh, wow!
00:17:22.04\00:17:23.37
And then you would get yourself
00:17:23.41\00:17:25.81
and cut that stem
a little bit as well
00:17:25.84\00:17:28.78
and some of the
bottom parts there.
00:17:28.81\00:17:31.91
Remember nothing
goes to waste here
00:17:31.95\00:17:33.52
but these other parts,
you can't per say eat them.
00:17:33.55\00:17:36.02
So, like as I said you
could put that in a stew
00:17:36.05\00:17:38.75
or you can boil it out
and may be even make a tea.
00:17:38.79\00:17:42.36
Then you take it
just like that there
00:17:42.39\00:17:44.96
and you go right
there in the middle
00:17:44.99\00:17:46.90
and what we want to
do is cut into quarters.
00:17:46.93\00:17:50.17
All right, so
that's one half their.
00:17:50.20\00:17:54.14
Look at that, you see
how pretty it is there.
00:17:54.17\00:17:56.00
It has nice little, like
almost little furry items.
00:17:56.04\00:17:59.34
And a lot of people watch out,
00:17:59.37\00:18:01.61
one lady I
remember I was sharing this
00:18:01.64\00:18:03.85
and she was so
excited about artichoke,
00:18:03.88\00:18:06.21
she went home and she brought it
00:18:06.25\00:18:08.15
and she started
ripping it off and eating it
00:18:08.18\00:18:10.79
and then she
was like "uh-uh-uh."
00:18:10.82\00:18:12.82
She had just like little
something stuck in her throat.
00:18:12.85\00:18:15.66
That's those
little spines in there,
00:18:15.69\00:18:17.33
please don't run
home and eat this.
00:18:17.36\00:18:18.89
The only way you
could possibly eat that
00:18:18.93\00:18:20.73
is, if you have
boiled it properly
00:18:20.76\00:18:22.53
or it has roasted properly
00:18:22.56\00:18:23.90
but if not, that
thing will probably,
00:18:23.93\00:18:25.70
just like those
little stickers there.
00:18:25.73\00:18:27.07
So, please go ahead
and when you use this,
00:18:27.10\00:18:29.44
just use it with caution.
00:18:29.47\00:18:30.81
Okay, so we are gonna cut
it into another quarter here.
00:18:30.84\00:18:33.71
All right, so that's one
quarter and then one more
00:18:33.74\00:18:38.35
and then you have
your four quarters.
00:18:38.38\00:18:39.71
Take this now quickly.
00:18:39.75\00:18:41.22
Quickly, quickly
and you want to go ahead
00:18:41.25\00:18:45.05
and dip that
into some lemon juice
00:18:45.09\00:18:47.16
because it will start to
like oxidize really quick.
00:18:47.19\00:18:50.16
So you could pour that here
00:18:50.19\00:18:52.03
and pour the
lemon juice over it.
00:18:52.06\00:18:54.90
Fresh lemon, it doesn't
matter what ever you have.
00:18:54.93\00:18:57.07
Let it sit there
for a little while,
00:18:57.10\00:18:59.00
soak it a little
bit, be careful again
00:18:59.03\00:19:00.94
because, it's real
sticky on the inside.
00:19:00.97\00:19:03.24
And you let that sit
just for a little bit.
00:19:03.27\00:19:06.34
I'm gonna go ahead,
should we try it one more time?
00:19:06.37\00:19:08.61
Y'all you want to
see it one more time?
00:19:08.64\00:19:09.98
Here it is.
00:19:10.01\00:19:11.35
We're gonna take the
regular artichoke there.
00:19:11.38\00:19:13.92
We're gonna remove
some of the outside of it
00:19:13.95\00:19:17.12
and remember, don't worry,
00:19:17.15\00:19:18.49
your money is
not going to waste.
00:19:18.52\00:19:21.72
Matter of fact, this
is worth every penny,
00:19:21.76\00:19:23.09
every penny that you
spend on it, it is worth it.
00:19:23.12\00:19:25.63
I consider it the
king of all veggies,
00:19:25.66\00:19:28.86
even though all veggies are good
00:19:28.90\00:19:30.70
and I think it's even better
because it takes so much work
00:19:30.73\00:19:33.87
to get to like
this source of it,
00:19:33.90\00:19:36.17
which is the heart, okay.
00:19:36.20\00:19:38.21
And it's funny,
it's like even a message.
00:19:38.24\00:19:41.14
God has to work so
hard to get to our heart
00:19:41.18\00:19:43.28
and He just wants us to
be just open and receptive
00:19:43.31\00:19:46.51
and everything
else will work out
00:19:46.55\00:19:47.88
and healing will
take place as well.
00:19:47.92\00:19:49.98
So here it is,
then I'll cut the top
00:19:50.02\00:19:51.95
so you can still
keep the stem there.
00:19:51.99\00:19:54.72
Cut the top, all right.
00:19:54.76\00:19:57.49
Here's how you could tell
00:19:57.53\00:19:58.86
if you have a
good knife or bad knife
00:19:58.89\00:20:00.76
and cut that top apart, there.
00:20:00.80\00:20:04.50
Make sure all of that is gone,
that's the inside a little bit.
00:20:04.53\00:20:07.80
Then I'm gonna remove
the greater part of the stem
00:20:07.84\00:20:11.51
and some of those outside
items but all of this is good.
00:20:11.54\00:20:15.21
You can even just wash it,
00:20:15.24\00:20:16.78
literally just wash it
and throw it into a oven.
00:20:16.81\00:20:19.28
But I'm just trying to
get to the main point of it.
00:20:19.31\00:20:21.82
Then you take it,
put your knife through
00:20:21.85\00:20:24.09
and cut that in half.
00:20:24.12\00:20:26.05
You all see that
there, really simple.
00:20:26.09\00:20:28.66
Then you have it again,
you can use that as well.
00:20:28.69\00:20:31.79
The cool thing about it,
00:20:31.83\00:20:33.16
you could even
make soup with this,
00:20:33.19\00:20:36.80
you can make a, you can
even do a salad with it.
00:20:36.83\00:20:39.77
So, let me cut this.
00:20:39.80\00:20:41.14
Let me show you
which part in the salad
00:20:41.17\00:20:42.70
if you are gonna do it fresh.
00:20:42.74\00:20:44.07
See this little
part right in here,
00:20:44.11\00:20:46.61
this part, the artichoke,
00:20:46.64\00:20:48.78
this is part of the
heart and this part right here
00:20:48.81\00:20:52.11
is the one that will go
in like salads and stuff.
00:20:52.15\00:20:54.75
Or if you have
the can version of it,
00:20:54.78\00:20:57.35
it's already ready.
00:20:57.39\00:20:58.72
If you take a quick look here,
00:20:58.75\00:21:00.26
you notice when it sits
and when it cooks properly,
00:21:00.29\00:21:03.06
that hard skin or those
leaves and stuff like that
00:21:03.09\00:21:06.36
those here become
even edible, all right.
00:21:06.39\00:21:08.90
So it just needs
a proper cooking.
00:21:08.93\00:21:10.77
So make sure you do that,
00:21:10.80\00:21:12.77
then we'll take
these other parts again
00:21:12.80\00:21:15.00
and we'll take
those and submerse it
00:21:15.04\00:21:16.97
into some lemon juice,
00:21:17.01\00:21:19.61
okay, because it
changes color quite quickly.
00:21:19.64\00:21:23.21
It oxidizes and oh, oh.
00:21:23.24\00:21:25.25
I'm almost missing this one,
00:21:25.28\00:21:26.61
that's almost worth
like a dollar right here,
00:21:26.65\00:21:27.98
that one piece.
00:21:28.02\00:21:29.35
So go ahead and
don't leave no part out
00:21:29.38\00:21:33.42
and I'm just going to
take now, a little baking dish.
00:21:33.46\00:21:38.89
Okay, so I'm
gonna take these items
00:21:38.93\00:21:42.23
and what you can do also,
00:21:42.26\00:21:43.80
is you can take
remember that sea salt there?
00:21:43.83\00:21:47.20
You can take that and
sprinkle out over here
00:21:47.24\00:21:51.14
so it could soak in.
00:21:51.17\00:21:52.54
Another option would be to do
just do it in the lemon juice.
00:21:52.57\00:21:55.88
And you can mix those all up.
00:21:55.91\00:21:57.81
Little salt is good if you have,
00:21:57.85\00:22:01.58
you can use braggs as well.
00:22:01.62\00:22:03.28
And then you take those items
00:22:03.32\00:22:05.25
and you put them on
your baking dish, okay.
00:22:05.29\00:22:08.92
So, I'm just gonna
line that up there.
00:22:08.96\00:22:10.93
Man, these things are
so pretty, look at that.
00:22:10.96\00:22:14.53
This should be a flower,
00:22:14.56\00:22:15.90
well actually the
flower is pretty nice
00:22:15.93\00:22:17.33
and then I'll take my oil.
00:22:17.37\00:22:19.67
Okay and I'll
pour that slightly,
00:22:19.70\00:22:21.27
just drizzle it
over a little bit
00:22:21.30\00:22:23.30
so it could help there.
00:22:23.34\00:22:25.41
Delicious, that
will help it from,
00:22:25.44\00:22:27.61
don't worry about it.
00:22:27.64\00:22:28.98
People say, "ah
look at that oil."
00:22:29.01\00:22:31.21
But the good news is,
you're not actually eating it
00:22:31.25\00:22:33.72
and you can even
mix it in there, get it?
00:22:33.75\00:22:35.95
Because it will
take a little while
00:22:35.98\00:22:37.35
to bake here a little bit.
00:22:37.39\00:22:38.95
All right, so then we
have our artichoke, of course.
00:22:38.99\00:22:42.39
You can do a couple more
00:22:42.42\00:22:44.03
or any way you do it, it's fine.
00:22:44.06\00:22:46.19
It's fine.
00:22:46.23\00:22:47.56
What are some of
its buddies as well?
00:22:47.60\00:22:50.47
Anybody knows what's asparagus?
00:22:50.50\00:22:52.10
Asparagus is fantastic.
00:22:52.13\00:22:54.74
So I could even throw
some asparagus on there,
00:22:54.77\00:22:57.14
get a little oil going so
I could drill that with it.
00:22:57.17\00:22:59.37
But the asparagus,
00:22:59.41\00:23:00.74
you want to take a
little time with that.
00:23:00.78\00:23:02.11
You don't want to put that
directly in with the artichoke
00:23:02.14\00:23:04.35
'cause the artichoke
takes little more time
00:23:04.38\00:23:05.71
and you don't want
to burn your asparagus.
00:23:05.75\00:23:07.28
What else is another friend
of veggies best kept secret?
00:23:07.32\00:23:11.09
Radishes, radishes everybody
know that I love spicy things
00:23:11.12\00:23:14.46
that you don't like
when we put in the salads.
00:23:14.49\00:23:16.46
Well, this is fantastic too.
00:23:16.49\00:23:18.86
Let me explain, why?
00:23:18.89\00:23:20.23
Because it has like fieriness,
00:23:20.26\00:23:21.96
that it gives you, it
helps people with sinusitis.
00:23:22.00\00:23:24.63
You know congestion
and items like that.
00:23:24.67\00:23:26.70
Yes, I do get a cold
and flu every now and then,
00:23:26.74\00:23:29.80
that's the sign that I probably
working too hard or something.
00:23:29.84\00:23:32.27
You know, even helping people,
you can work hard sometimes.
00:23:32.31\00:23:34.84
So I want to encourage people
to start taking some time out.
00:23:34.88\00:23:37.35
Do one day a week, you
know and just focus on yourself
00:23:37.38\00:23:40.72
and on your time of God
00:23:40.75\00:23:42.25
because you will get
sick if you work hard.
00:23:42.28\00:23:44.22
So, radishes
after a cold or flu,
00:23:44.25\00:23:46.22
I get really congested
00:23:46.25\00:23:47.59
so you know who I
run to after prayer.
00:23:47.62\00:23:49.36
I go ahead and I enjoy
myself some nice radishes
00:23:49.39\00:23:52.49
which is very good for that.
00:23:52.53\00:23:54.70
They also help with detoxifying
00:23:54.73\00:23:57.37
but let me tell you something
00:23:57.40\00:23:58.73
about that artichoke real quick.
00:23:58.77\00:24:01.04
Did you know that the artichoke
00:24:01.07\00:24:03.81
also naturally
detoxifies your liver?
00:24:03.84\00:24:08.04
Now you notice people always
trying to clean out the body
00:24:08.08\00:24:10.71
"Oh, I need to
cleanse and I need this."
00:24:10.75\00:24:12.68
It's funny how they
always want to pick one,
00:24:12.71\00:24:14.45
the kidneys and the liver.
00:24:14.48\00:24:16.95
Well watch this,
00:24:16.99\00:24:18.32
no need to buy any
special item for that.
00:24:18.35\00:24:20.56
Just eat the way
the Lord wants you too,
00:24:20.59\00:24:22.69
use this like special fruit
00:24:22.72\00:24:24.59
and this one will
naturally detoxify the liver.
00:24:24.63\00:24:27.93
We worked with individuals
who even have like hepatitis
00:24:27.96\00:24:30.67
and different
items of that nature
00:24:30.70\00:24:32.40
and they started to use
and they started to slowly
00:24:32.43\00:24:34.50
but surely seen improvement
00:24:34.54\00:24:36.10
but the rest and true healing
ultimately comes from God,
00:24:36.14\00:24:38.67
It's not gonna say per
se come from the artichoke,
00:24:38.71\00:24:41.54
so start using that.
00:24:41.58\00:24:42.91
I'm gonna take this item,
00:24:42.94\00:24:44.28
we gonna get that
roasted a little bit there
00:24:44.31\00:24:46.28
and then let me make
sure I find space for it
00:24:46.31\00:24:48.55
and I want to share with you
00:24:48.58\00:24:51.45
the finished product here, okay.
00:24:51.49\00:24:53.09
It takes a little,
little while to get it rolling
00:24:53.12\00:24:55.99
but here's the finished product.
00:24:56.02\00:24:57.79
People say "Okay, what do I
do with the finished product?"
00:24:57.83\00:25:00.26
Well, I'm gonna
show you it real quick.
00:25:00.30\00:25:01.63
This is my favorite part of
teaching people about artichoke
00:25:01.66\00:25:03.90
because I
actually get to eat it.
00:25:03.93\00:25:05.73
Okay and it's
almost time for me to eat.
00:25:05.77\00:25:07.54
Here's how it looks after.
00:25:07.57\00:25:10.11
Okay, you see that
there, the outside.
00:25:10.14\00:25:12.27
This one is still a little hard
00:25:12.31\00:25:14.18
but you still
don't throw this away.
00:25:14.21\00:25:16.28
If you notice
right here on the inside,
00:25:16.31\00:25:18.18
do you see that
little flesh, there?
00:25:18.21\00:25:20.75
All right, I want you all
00:25:20.78\00:25:22.12
to see that
little flesh in there,
00:25:22.15\00:25:23.49
that's all that is
actually good for you.
00:25:23.52\00:25:25.89
All right, so
this is what you do,
00:25:25.92\00:25:27.56
follow me closely.
00:25:27.59\00:25:29.32
You take it and ah.
00:25:29.36\00:25:31.09
You take that
piece of it and you...
00:25:31.13\00:25:33.13
like this you
cut out and pull out.
00:25:33.16\00:25:36.77
So this is what
you're left with now, okay.
00:25:36.80\00:25:39.63
So you're just
left with like the leaf
00:25:39.67\00:25:41.00
and you ate that
inside part of it.
00:25:41.04\00:25:43.34
Do you need to see that again?
00:25:43.37\00:25:44.71
'Cause I would love to show you.
00:25:44.74\00:25:46.07
All right, I heard
somebody say, "yes."
00:25:46.11\00:25:47.61
So you go ahead and you
00:25:47.64\00:25:51.38
"Oh my, this is
dangerously good for me."
00:25:51.41\00:25:53.62
So you enjoy the
artichoke and watch this,
00:25:55.15\00:25:59.05
now after I got
through the hard leaves, right.
00:25:59.09\00:26:02.42
You see that
stuff that fall off.
00:26:02.46\00:26:05.83
When you get to the soft leaves,
00:26:05.86\00:26:09.06
then you can eat all of it.
00:26:09.10\00:26:11.70
Here's the heart,
00:26:11.73\00:26:13.13
remember the
little sticky stuff,
00:26:13.17\00:26:14.50
that little sticky spines.
00:26:14.54\00:26:16.67
Well, they become like fur,
00:26:16.71\00:26:18.11
okay and you can actually
take that whole heart...
00:26:18.14\00:26:21.18
Um, fantastic.
00:26:23.04\00:26:25.08
I should've
never started eating;
00:26:26.98\00:26:28.32
I don't want to stop now.
00:26:28.35\00:26:29.68
Let me give you one other tip,
00:26:29.72\00:26:31.19
cause it doesn't
have a major flavor
00:26:31.22\00:26:33.09
or anything like that
00:26:33.12\00:26:34.46
and it just has
a nice malt flavor.
00:26:34.49\00:26:35.99
What you can even do is,
00:26:36.02\00:26:40.50
you can make a
sauce or dressing, okay.
00:26:40.53\00:26:44.53
And so here we have
the cashew cheese sauce
00:26:44.57\00:26:46.67
or something of that nature.
00:26:46.70\00:26:48.20
Um, okay.
00:26:48.24\00:26:49.57
I'm, I'm losing
concentration here,
00:26:49.60\00:26:51.44
having such a
good time eating it.
00:26:51.47\00:26:53.41
You can take that
00:26:53.44\00:26:54.91
and...
00:26:54.94\00:26:56.28
take the artichoke leaves
00:26:57.98\00:27:00.08
and you dip it, just like that.
00:27:00.12\00:27:01.45
You know, if you
want some more flavor,
00:27:01.48\00:27:02.82
nothing wrong with
flavor, right there and...
00:27:02.85\00:27:05.85
um-hmm.
00:27:05.89\00:27:07.22
Did you need to see
that again, let me try.
00:27:08.49\00:27:11.39
This is actually
fantastic and you dip it here
00:27:11.43\00:27:13.80
and now you have the
blessing of the artichoke
00:27:13.83\00:27:17.70
and the cashew
00:27:17.73\00:27:20.17
andy ou're
actually are enjoying it.
00:27:20.20\00:27:22.00
And this is cool because
it causes you to take time
00:27:22.04\00:27:24.17
and you can just like
eat this and throw it away
00:27:24.21\00:27:26.61
and you know stuff like that.
00:27:26.64\00:27:27.98
You know, this is not fast food.
00:27:28.01\00:27:29.34
One person says,
00:27:29.38\00:27:30.71
you eat fast food,
you live a fast life.
00:27:30.75\00:27:32.11
You eat slow food; you
get to enjoy your life.
00:27:32.15\00:27:34.35
So, lets go ahead and
start enjoying our lives
00:27:34.38\00:27:37.09
and let's start to use
00:27:37.12\00:27:38.45
some of the other
vitamins or veggies
00:27:38.49\00:27:41.46
and get all the
vitamins and mineral from it
00:27:41.49\00:27:44.23
and you will find that
00:27:44.26\00:27:45.66
this will not be
a secret anymore.
00:27:45.69\00:27:47.03
Tell your friends and family.
00:27:47.06\00:27:48.40
I wish I could
buy all of the farms.
00:27:48.43\00:27:49.76
But go ahead
make it for yourself
00:27:49.80\00:27:51.83
and enjoy it
because I surely am.
00:27:51.87\00:27:54.24
Yeah, have a good one.
00:27:54.27\00:27:55.60
