  • I have had problems with food going bad at low temp, so I start at 135 for about an hour and monitor the internal temperature of the food with a digital food thermometer. There is also difference of opinion about how high the temp can go before enzy…
    in what's the highest you set your dehydrator? Comment by grassdude
  • I bought some unpasteurized almonds from sunorganics.com. They sell a lot of great organic stuff for reasonable prices and you can call with any questions. The organic Medjool dates are unbelievably tasty. I got some and I just ordered a 10lb.bag.

  • I used to get acid reflux every day. I couldn’t sleep at night without taking a zantax pill. Heartburn was a daily occurance and at night sometimes I would regurgitate acid into my throat and couldn’t breath. It was pretty scary sometimes. After goi…

  • Thanks for the reply, Sounds like you are into it. With all the latest and greatest “superfoods” being marketed, wheatgrass, sprouts and juices are still the best in my opinion. If you google “sprouters” you will get results for Gogreen. They sell t…

  • RishiFromRoshis, I was told by a reliable source that Madhava Agave is not raw. I don’t know what to believe anymore about a lot of stuff being raw.
    in What's wrong with raw cane sugar? Comment by grassdude
  • I think evaporated cane juice is not heated and it would be easy to find out by contacting the company that makes it, but the question remains-why does David Wolfe say that cane sugar is toxic even if it is raw? I don’t think he is just whistling Di…

  • The hulled sunflower seeds I get from Whole Foods are raw because they sprout. Anything that sprouts has to be raw.
    in Need help: Substitute for Agave, Almonds Comment by grassdude
  • I was having the same problem with everything going sour. I threw away 4 projects in a row because they all went sour. The dehydrating temperatures in all the recipe books don’t work. If you read the book from excalibur (optional with the dehydrator…

  • I hope you guys are right and the coconuts are ok. I have heard a lot of conflicting information, don’t know what to believe. I read an article saying that the workers wear glove and handle the coconuts with sticks because they use so many toxic che…
    in Where to buy Young Coconuts in bulk? Comment by grassdude
  • Hi all coconut affectionados, I love them too, but recently I found out that some are dipped in formaldehyde to bleach them white. When you cut them open they will have a blue tinge from the formaldehyde. Be careful where you get them and if they ar…

  • I just bought the Jack Lalanne blender. It’s only $119 on the internet and it’s awesome. I never used the Vitamix so I can’t compare it. The recipe book says you can make nut butter with it although I have not tried it yet. It comes with 100 year wa…

  • I have found a solution. Just made a pumpernickel bread, it came out perfect, just like the manna bread you buy at Whole Foods. I was having the same problem with everything going sour. I threw away 4 projects in a row because they all went sour. I …
    in Why are my breads getting sour? Comment by grassdude
  • I’m going to figure out this problem if it’s the last thing I do. It’s getting personal. I may have the answer. I started a carrot raison bread at 145 for the first 3 hours.. I bought a digital thermometer, I am monitoring the internal temperature o…
    in Why are my breads getting sour? Comment by grassdude
  • omshanti, It’s nice to know I’m not the only one having this problem (misery loves company :-) There must be a way to make it work. I bought a digital thermometer. I am going to keep it at high temperature until the internal temp of the bread gets c…

  • Sweetpea, I just bought your book. Just want to support you and your great recipes.
    in Why are my breads getting sour? Comment by grassdude
  • Sweetpea, I am using recipes from Alissa Cohen’s book, and Juliano’s book. I will check out your recipe. Just checked out rawlifestyle.co.uk. Beautiful recicpes, I love it Thanks Zoe, your suggestions make a lot of sense and I like your recipe.
    in Why are my breads getting sour? Comment by grassdude
  • Thanks pianissima. I did try starting the bread at 145 for about 2 hours and it helped but after about 9 hours, it started to sour a little so I took it out and it was still a bit goowy in the middle. According to the Excalibur book, you can start i…
    in Why are my breads getting sour? Comment by grassdude
  • All the hooplah was caused by some cases of samonella that occured due to contaminated seeds. Steve Myerowitz “the Sproutman” has more information on this. According to him the number of cases compared to the number of sprouts consumed is much less …
    in Sprouts: a super-risk!! Comment by grassdude
  • I’ve been monitoring blood sugar and amazingly fruit and carbs do not cause a rise in my blood sugar. I do not have a fixed routine of what to eat, I eat foods that I enjoy and make me feel good. Number 1 is vegetable juices- kale, carrot, spinach, …
    in Cure Diabetes with raw food Comment by grassdude
  • Vegetable juices, wheatgrass juice, salads and fruit smoothies have been the key for me. You start feeling too good to be sick.
    in Cure Diabetes with raw food Comment by grassdude
  • There are some great books by Ann Wigmore and Steve Myerowitz on growing wheatgrass I would recommend, but here are the basics I use. I grow it on my porch that gets indirect sun, perfect for wheatgrass. You can grow it in the house near a window th…
