so i want to make some candy to share with my family this easter… but here’s the deal with my family:
1) my brother in law is diabetic 2) my niece has just been diagnosed with aspergers so they are dairy/gluten free 3) i am raw 4) my dad has an inflammation of his heart lining, and is bizarrely picky and unpredictable with what he will eat. he mostly eats soup.
so this question is mainly for people with diabetic info (i.e. angie)... if i made truffles and sweetened them with agave, do you think my brother in law could eat them? his diagnosis is pretty recent too, and i have no doubt he will be sad about all the jellybeans etc that he can’t eat. he’s not raw or vegan in the least, but when i brought raw carrot cake for my birthday, he liked it, and ate that instead of the regular cake everyone else was eating.
thoughts? (from anyone, not just angie!)
Comments
also, what are you all doing for easter/solstice? any raw food plans?
i have yacon and stevia… but the yacon has such a strong flavor, and the stevia has such an unpleasant flavor, that i prefer the nice, mellow maplish flavor of the agave.
