Almond-Cowitch Matcha Smoothie

Cookbook | Recipes | Ingredients | Equipment | Techniques | Cookbook Disambiguation Pages | Recipes | Beverages | Raw Diet Mucuna pruriens, commonly known as cowitch or velvet bean, is sometimes used as a coffee substitute; however, cooking leaches out chemical compounds such as levodopa (L-DOPA). If consumed unprocessed in large quantities as food, they are toxic to non-ruminant mammals, including humans. This recipe shows how to leech out dangerous toxins while still keeping the nutrient enzymes and L-DOPA that have long been used in traditional Ayurvedic Indian medicine.
