Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 the difference between fresh and dried products obviously depens on the product. for example with medicinal grade shitake mushrooms one dried one can equate to a whole punnet for more culinary grade fresh ones. I just got some daikon greens from a friend's biodynamic garden and tasted a teeny bit raw before i cooked it and wow - did that have some punch. If they are dried though they also become very strong for use in daikon hip baths. as I understand it the pungency of fresh ingredients is more intense - eg radish, ginger etc but becomes more concentrated when dried and goes deeper into the body in its effects. Like fresh daikon helps with melting fats on thw surface and digesting fats that are being eaten at that meal while dried daikon can help melt fats deeper around the internal organs etc. And sometimes it is just a matter of using what you have and can find. Fresh lotis root is rare here so I often use the dried.
