As the plants flow with lifeforce, beautiful foods and medicines offer themselves freely, many possessing a bitter edge. In our culture many shy away from the bitter taste in favor of sweet or salty, in particular. But all of the tastes have a role to play in health, and the bitter may be one of the most necessary to bring balance in our culture of excess. For many of us, regularly incorporating more bitter into our days can have profoundly positive impacts. In this class we will discuss the role of the bitter principle in maintaining healthful weight, optimizing digestive function, supporting detoxification, much more. We will taste and explore the virtues of some of our green allies that offer bitter constituents and discuss how to work with them at home. Many of them can be found in our yards and gardens.
