I have been trying to add new foods to my diet in honor of the paleo way and wonder, since I have lived a sheltered life when it comes to eating a variety of foods, a couple of things. I see so many foods I have never heard of, or if I have, never eaten, in the store when I go shopping. I would like to add as many of these if possible. 1. what part of Swiss chard is edible raw? leaves only, stem??? what about collards, dandelion, turnip greens? I see recipes that call for cooking these, but since some of them, especially the chard, look like rhubarb, and the leaves of that are poisonous, I was hesitant to eat these raw. 2. does anyone eat parsnips, beets, turnips raw, do they need to be peeled first? Thanks patiently pondering paleo pickins' Jane
