green food natural and easy

Green your food for St. Patrick's day fun.

The easiest most natural way I know how to green food is simply add a teaspoon of liquid chlorophyll to whatever it is you are making.  I put a half spoonful into my husband's drink, added a spoonful into the bread ingredients in the breadmaker, it's also great for green eggs and ham scramble.  If you dare, you could turn chicken meat, cauliflower and/or potatoes green this way, although I don't know if they will get eaten.  It also works great in cakes and muffins, whip cream, sour cream, etc.  Have fun!

What is chlorophyll?
Liquid Clorophyll can be found inexpensively in your local grocery store health section.
Chlorophyll is the part of living plants that make them green.  The liquid chlorophylls I am familiar with are derived from alfalfa and mint.  They have little taste but deep green color.  Beware, they can stain.

Used for?
Chlorophyll is used as a natural internal deodorant.  It is also good for allergies, skin problems, digestion, and many other things.

Happy St. Patty's Day.  Go Green!
