RE: [Aroid-l] Iron Chef - Amorphophallus konjac

From: "W. George Schmid" hostahill at bellsouth.net> on 2005.11.16 at 18:34:27(13543) Hi Alan, Just think I have been taking expensive high blood pressure medicine when I could have just cooked konnyaku and eaten my surplus A. konjac "potatoes," of which I have lots and lots. I spent some time in Japan and I know about the Japanese preparing meals with A. konjak but no one told me about its medicinal properties. I wonder what my doc would say. I think I'll ask him.
