MJam Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Making an elk meat stirfry and I am wondering if water chestnuts are compliant. The almighty internet says that they are in the tuber family...help me out paleo family! My rule is when it doubt leave them out so I am leaving them out but now I am curious. My can lists water chestnuts and water as the only 2 ingredients. I love the crunch they give a stirfry but if they are not compliant my stirfrys can survive without them.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted December 21, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 21, 2012 Water chestnuts are okay. I've cooked with them a bit, but they don't do anything for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lwaldo46 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 What about tuna in a can, in water of course. Also, sardines in water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
