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

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.
Live and learn. George
