- What varieties should you plant in a garden to promote graceful aging? These superfoods are cherished by some of the longest-living people in the world for their incredible health-promoting qualities. Shannie McCabe shares some of her favorite heirloom varieties for a "longevity garden!"
They include Okinawan white bitter melon, beans such as succotash bean, greens such as Katsuona mustard, tatsoi, Castelfranco radicchio, and Nero di Toscana kale; squash such as Kabocha or Lady Godiva; dark tomatoes such as the Black Krim, and whole grains.
So happy to see this video! Dan Buettner has done years of research on the blue-zones & has written several books on it. I’ve actually read so many books & articles about it over the last few years. All five blue zones have certain things in common, one of which is that they all eat primarily plant-based!
My small garden will be filled with all. Thank you.
Great info! Would love more videos with nutritional information like this.
Thank you!
will try to make more!
Where has this channel been?!?! I am SOOO over excited now.😊 Lol I’ll make sure to check often for new videos.👌🏾
Check out their catalog......mind blowing!
Most of Asian markets sell Bitter Mellon & been eating for years so good for you 🍎🥬🥒🥦🥑🍆🌶
Just discovered Rareseeds--you guys rock !
This helped me pick a few things to start seeds for here in Chicago, Thank you! I'm loving that you guys are making such cool content!Thank you!"Blessings of Bounty and May Your Gardens and your Life always Bring You Joy,Inspiration and Abundance!" - Hope
how about adding a link to each of the varieties mentioned (in all your videos). Keep these great videos coming. Thanks
This was a superb video! Would love to see how you incorporate the bitter melon into your smoothies. Some recipe videos using the foods you showcased would be a great follow-up. Thank you for a job well done.
Thank you for taking the time to produce these videos and provide so much useful information. I've never grown (or eaten) bitter melon. Looks like I'll have to "give it a go" for my 2020 garden. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA -- 7/26/2019.
I really enjoy your videos. I just made my first order to Baker creek and I am look forward to the diversity I can add to my diet. Thanks for your good information.
Please can u post more videos. I love them so much
I 😍 Black Krim!
Thank you Rareseeds , We have learned lots from you guys.
Super great info! Thank you!
Awesome video! Full of great information.
Planted Bittermelon for the first time this year and can't wait to try it. I've had it before in soup!
Bar7RRanch how was it?
Also tastes good stir fried with pork! Gives it more sweetness!
You were meant to Teach

brenda gnias I think she is teaching here. 😊
Fabulous information. Period.
Awesome Shannie thank you again...love it.😀
Love your channel!

Dr.Gundry who resigned from being the head heart surgeon in Lomalinda Ca, and left his practice to help people on the other end of the spectrum and see if he can educate people to live healthier lifestyles and avoid a trip to see a heart surgeon. He has written a couple of books and has a lot of information online explaining Lectins and the affects they may have on our health. Based on his research, All of the foods you mentioned would need certain perperations to break down the lectins before consuming. Some people are in this camp of thinkers, many are not and poo poo Dr. Gundrys work and research.
Thank you for this one too! Adding Godiva pumpkins to the list! :)
Thank you for taking the time to teach us.
Love this piece! tks!!
Great topic!
In Trinidad and Tobago when it's green we cut it into slices,put salt on it and leave it in the sun to dry (I believe this removes most of the very bitter taste) then sauté it with other vegetables and herbs. When it's ripe however you can have its pulp.
love this video, plan on ordering some of these
As for the Japanese bitter melon, if you remove the seeds and only eat the flesh, it'll taste less bitter and more enjoyable.
I don't eat the seeds inside it at all. pick it when it's young thats when it taste the best. The old it gets, the bitter it taste.
how do you prepare it for eating?
So glad that I already have most of these seeds thanks to Baker Creek! I planted Nero do Toscana three days ago into pods and I already have 3/4” tall sprouts for fall! Tatsoi is going in tomorrow and I have seventeen varieties of squash growing now (including all of those listed here). Zone 8b, PNW -everything is growing beautifully (and weren’t at ALL negatively affected by the recent heat spells!)
Superfoods...we grow all of these...latest studies include okra...natural vitamins as minerals in fruits and veggies...everything you mentioned should be 89% of our diet!
That sounds awesome! Nettles are another great aspirin (perennial veg in general are more nutrient dense) I grow Good King Henry, and it's one of the earliest greens to emerge!
I love you guys!
love you videos, the secret to long life is normal practice in China, happy to see somebody showcasing this to the masses, people forget the origins of many things though.
Thanks for the great!!! Videos
Great video thank you for the information.
Thanks Shannie...
Bitter Melon is actually traditionally eaten sauted with SPAM in a dish called Goya Champur. This is basically a stir fry. If you want to get rid of some of the bitter flavor, do a quick pickle. Slice them up and mix with salt or salt water. After half an hour wash off the salt and they are ready to cook.
The leaves are also edible and can be added to soups.
Great info
thanks for tips of the day
I love this video! Thank you so much!
Hola desde México, me encanta el canal y toda la información acerca de sus semillas, estaria muy agradecida si pudieran enviarme su catalogo para poder adquirir un par de ellas. Soy amante de la huerta y me fascina experimentar con nuevas semillas. Tienen un nuevo seguidor desde hoy. Mil gracias.
Hola. Estamos fuera de catálogos para esta temporada, pero enumeramos todas nuestras semillas en rareseeds.com.
Great video!
Our bitter melons are super slow! We have 1 fruit per vine and so anxious to try them out!
We use this vegetables all in Asia.. You use it as snack if you sliced it thinner and fried it.. U will eat it every day
yum!
I always thought it would be great to live past 100 or more. Then I think how heatbreaking it would be to have all your friends and family die before you. Thank you for sharing this very informative vid. Blessings :-)
PIECE of PEACE Homestead someone has to be last no matter the age.
So true - in addition to movement, strong connections with friends and family is one of the pillars of the Blue Zones lifestyle! As one elder friend told me, "you never have old friends unless you keep making new ones!!"
I buy all my seeds from you .I moved to Puerto Rico where it's hot all year round. I love cabbage and calords .I know those vegetables like cold weather. What other kind will grow in full sun all year round.
She did a video called best heat tolerant greens
Great information. Thank you Baker Creek
My Mom and Grrandma grew bitter melon and cooked it with a miso sauce.
thanks for this i am a diabetic and a new gardner looking to eat better, these plants i will grow many thanks from here in South Wales United Kingdom, our weather would equal what in your time zone?
That bitter Melon is not just to those country you mention it’s all over Asia, I grew up in the Southeast Asia and we grew more of that, we love to juice,and eat them!
how about some ashitaba (angelica keiskei) or longevity spinich (gynura procumbens) or dopamine beans (macuna pruriens) ?
knowone-sts interesting as I have never heard of them.
And Yomoji is one used commonly in Okinawa - Artemisia princeps - Japanese mugwort! (I got mine as a plant start) a Leaf can be used in rice, and in Saki!
Is the bitter of the melons sort of like the bitter of dandelion greens? I'm just trying to decide if it's a bitter I'd eat if I grew it. They're very cool looking!
They use a lot of bitters in tinctures for stomach ailments.
I have baker creeks bitter melons growing in my garden, they are doing great!
Remove seeds slice me thinner fry or roast them with some oil till become crunchy you get amazing tasty snack.. And dnt forget to add some seasom powder
do you have seed colletions of this sort that we could order? that would grow to harvest in zone 4?,,, thank you for the video
Black beans are very good. Aid blood health.
i love bitter gourd in soups, sautee and juicing. some people soak it in salt water to remove the bitterness. in my opinion, why eat bitter gourd if the flavor is removed. :( love it with juiced with apples and cucumbers in the morning
That’s it, I am done watching your video….. costing me way to much as I keep ordering after watching. LoL.
Do you know much about Pig Weed which is also known as summer lettuce?
yes we do!
What brand overalls are those? They look heavy duty.
Carrhartt
Try neem, aloe and moringa for blood regulation
Well, that is not the bean used in Nicoya, they use regular beans made by our college research. And the other half of the diet is from purple pujagua corn or white and yellow types, made into many corn products mainly tortilla by the process of nixtamalization
Interesting. I will do some research. Thanks for the comment.
we need baker creek seeds in Brasil.
Do y'all sell the white bittermelon seeds? If so how much are they? I'm diabetic and love to garden
They do! I bought some last season never planted them, but this year I am all in! I too am a Diabetic lost 20 pounds, another 80 to go(Type2). "Blessings of Bounty and May Your Gardens and your Life always Bring You Joy,Inspiration and Abundance!" - Hope
👍thanks for sharing 👍👍
Please bring back Cambodian eggplants seeds!!
Are they those small, round, green eggplants called Bringal? I LOVE cooking with those!
Are they the large green variety listed on their site for this year? If so, would.love to try them, too.
I wonder how bitter melon tastes as pickles?
a presoak in salt helps to remove the bitterness, it may be more palatable as a pickle that way :)
@@RareSeedsBC Ah thank you for the tip!
They said the small one are better
Are you gonna sell paw paw seeds again?
we hope to!
What a naturally beautiful and interesting woman!
These are probably not the American variety of sweet potato. I know the Asian ones are very different
No culture has soybeans as a major part of their diet. Asian cultures use it but as a side or condiment.
Loma Linda? Really? Huh.
it is not going to work because local soils will not have same minerals and local veggies (including those that give health) have evolved in parallel with humans ... evolution of long living humans goes hand in hand with culture ... a culture which does not derive benefits from older individuals and afford younger relatives of long living individuals to be more fertile will naturally start reducing their longevity by evolution process ... just growing veggies from these places is not enough ... also you have to eat them in same culinary tradition way that you are borrowing from ... you just mentioned smoothie ... may be you just need to de-smoothiefy your diet ... eat the way they cook and prefer sodium over sucrose ... sodium or sugar choice is yours ... start with breakfast ... try de-sugarizing breakfast for a week and then you will know where problem is ... in india (as gujarati) my breakfast was almost invariably savoury than sugary ... sometimes i ate unflavored home made yoghurt with indian millet flat bread or overnight stale khichdi with oil ... try that way for even for a day ... your poison is sugar mine is sodium ... try making home made things like yoghurt or millet bread or stale rice / khichdi etc ... stop using blender for a day
Bitter melon is disgusting! If I had to eat that to live to an old age, I’d rather just die young and eat something that doesn’t taste like crap.
I don’t think it’s because of the bittermelon
They don’t eat that much meat such as beef steak in japan that’s why they don’t have that much diabetes
Meat does not cause diabetes. Sugar and carbs
I hate bitter melon
LOL, I understand. The first time I tried it raw, I hated it. Then I fried it and added it to some veggies and I didn't mind the flavor. I got used to it but it is bitter.
Are you married
