Kale is bad for thyroid issues?



Along with broccoli and a few other veg, let me give you a link

http://thyroid.about.com/od/symptomsrisks/a/All-About-Goitrogens-thyroid.htm

Just my luck that I love spinach, radishes, watercress, peanuts etc.

I know there's a connection with eating cassava and goiters, but it seems like cassava is the primary food source, especially in times of famine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassava

Do you know if it has goitergens like Kale?

I have been sadly left out of the Kale trend because of my thyroid, but I love to find delicious replacements I can eat.

Kali & Chatterbox,

It tastes like very mild celery. In potato form!
I use to use them all the time. They go good in stews.





Might be interesting to try it in potato soup, since it has a celery taste to add interest.
Ive been having fun trying new foods, and seasoning with herbs to develop new flavors. Trying to get out of the old habits of heavier cooking which I grew up with, and need to for health reasons.

Celeriac, or celery root, is a lot like other starchy root vegetables. It makes a great puree, assuming you like celery. It does take longer to cook than potatoes.

Be careful peeling it. It can be kind of slippery if wet.

Sorry for the post and run.
I have a rather large goiter, and I dislike most cooked vegetables (ESPECIALLY GREENS), so I don't eat kale.

But yes, follow the link LC posted above so kindly and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Soy too, I avoid soy, which is getting harder and harder.

I could never get on with celeriac. It takes like perfume to me. Tried it roasted, as chips and as a gratin. Reminds me of biting a cardamom pod.

Another great veg are Jerusalem Artichokes, well worth the effort http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/jerusalem_artichoke


Yes I've heard good things about those. I tried to order some ages ago but got jerked around... It was always out of stock or season or whatever... So I never got a chance to grow them, but I will one day!

Most elderly people here refuse to buy it though because during the war it was the only vegetable they could get hold of.

Definitely use the leaves because they are full of potassium. The leaves in your picture look a bit ropey though!. Chop them up finely and pop them in a salad or steam them like spinach and serve with a slither of butter.

We also eat a lot of celeriac, especially Celeriac soup.

Try diced turnips and summer squash marinated in vinaigrette with garlic and ginger. Toss on a green salad to add a crunchy mouth feel. Almost as good as bacon.

Celeriac is good but is it worth several dollars a pound when there are fresher veggies much cheaper in most areas.

I still lament how the large corporate grocers drove out the local markets. You can only rarely find locally grown produce at the farmer's market. No matter what the grocers say about fresh, if it was grown in Chile I don't consider it fresh.

It's annoying isn't it? I try and find the link, if not (will google-fu) I scan in the list I got from the Cedars Sinai thyroid guy about foods that are actually good for hypo-thyroid patients...

http://voices.yahoo.com/top-5-foods-promote-thyroid-health-7094342.html

(though don't overdo the coconut fat, saturated and can cause other problems)

http://drhyman.com/blog/2010/05/20/a-7-step-plan-to-boost-your-low-thyroid-and-metabolis/

http://hypothyroidisma.com/hypothyroidism-diet.php

Last link is pretty identical to the list I was given, the 2nd link is pretty much also what I was told, with the heat therapy and making sure to avoid all foods you even are mildly allergic (often people don't really know)

I had to do a little test that showed if it isn't an internal yeast infection that might throw the thyroid off base, that is having a glass of water next to the bed, first thing you do when you get up is you spit into the glass, if it swims there, you're fine, if it acts like a little geyser, take care of that first.

I grew up with kohlrabi. Often some was cubed and cooked with savoy cabbage (a middle european/slovak dish). But most of the time it was served raw with other raw veggies on a platter like tomatoes and peppers etc. Similar to but milder than a radish, and my dad always liked it with a sprinkling of salt.

I haven't thought of it in ages :)
