A lot of us crave sweets from time to time. Adding more naturally sweet flavor to your daily diet dramatically reduces cravings for sweets. Certain vegetables have a deep, sweet flavor when cooked. E.g. Corn, carrots, onions, beets, winter squash (butternut, buttercup, delicata, hubbard and kabocha), sweet potatoes and yams.
Other less popular vegetables that are semi-sweet include turnips, parsnips and rutabagas. There are also vegetables that don’t taste sweet, but their effect on the body is similar to sweet vegetables. These include red radishes, daikon radish, green cabbage, red cabbage and burdock. They sooth the internal organs of the body and energize the mind. Since many of these vegetables are root vegetables, they are energetically grounding, and help to balance out the spaciness people often feel after eating other kinds of sweet food.
