Thanks - got it now!
My reasons for doing this are because I've had an arthritic flair and have gone back to eating my 10 safe foods (long grain brown rice, collard greens, kale, onion, broccoli, carrots, apples, raisins, dates, blueberries). I also ate this diet for most of 2011 while I was doing an elimination diet. I wanted to see if I was getting enough nutrients on such a restricted diet.
If I input my greens in the uncooked quantity I was way above on everything! But if I input them in the cooked quantity, I was low in vitamin E. I wanted to be sure I was doing it right before I figured out how to eat more greens or carrots to bring up my E. The good news is that after 2 months the pain and swelling has receded in my wrists and hands. My fingers are better, but not good yet.
