• the freshest way is to buy your aloe vera plant. If you pull each stem you use from the root a new one will grow back. put the aloe vera leaf you want to use to soak overnight in fresh water. This draws out the toxic substance it contains. The bitte…

• Hi chicory! Here in Peru they are eaten the same as normal potatoes, so if you eat white potatoes raw, these should be no different… I read on another post about soaking them in lemon juice first to get rid of the starch. Sometimes the have a pale c…

• Hi Winona – this sounds very normal to me. Many of the foods you are eating are very easily digested, particularly if belnded (i.e – the melon). Eating a single food per snack (the peaches) also speeds up metabolism and digestion, which will make yo…

• mmm…..recently I’ve found that the WAY I eat it is as comforting as what I’m eating…so what I am loving right now is a whole avocado, peeled like an apple (looks like a naked avocado) and eaten with an actual apple, one in each hand. The textures ma…

• I’m half-peruvian, living in Peru! At least we are in the same continent? I was wondering the same thing here. Not many people have heard of it, although I am considering setting up a raw-food stand at the farmers market, seeing if I can win people …

• Hi kirsten, I would definitely encourage you to sketch a couple ideas and make some samples yourself – its where it all starts, really! As long as you have solid ideas about the shape, openings/closings, material and accesories any patternmaker shou…

• I have my own business, I design shoes for my shoe line and have them made by artisans in Peru… it was a dream I had many years ago, and I threw myself in the deep end with no training. But after it got off the ground I realized I hadn´t thought it …

• Yes, spinach, as well as kale, swiss chard, collard greens, arugula, bok choy, dandelion greens, and mustard greens…...I like them chopped and marinated in a dressing of lemon and sea salt, or honey and apple cider vinegar. They are good in fruit sm…

• Here in peru people with high cholesterol drink the pineapple skin and core lightly boiled in water to reduce it. I know its not raw, but you wouldn’t be eating the skins anyway and you also get the extra nutrition from the skin. (I would just try a…

• If I could live eating fruit and nuts only, I would, but I have found I don’t look so great when I just eat fruit (sallow skin color). I think the sugar is too much for me. Salads can be very tasty mixed with fruit – like spinach with apples, pecans…

• I do agree that you can get the right amount of calcium through nuts and greens, and is a superior form than cow fluids, although personally I need to pay close attention to it. 5 years ago when I was 100% raw my teeth started to lose their color – …

• Hi Trouble! Just to let you know that I eat raw cheese every once in a while – if I am in the country then I have Organic Valley raw organic cheese which doesn’t use animal rennet so it is vegetarian. It works for me. I grew up with no dairy, but on…

• Hi, I grew up a vegetarian eating no sugar or even vegan junk (soy cheese was a yearly treat!) and was raw as an 8 year old but my mum took me off as apparently my sisters and I had dark circles under our eyes (despite drinking daily veggie juices).…
