Priceless One
Raw Newbie
I can’t stand coconut. There, my dirty secret is out. Can anyone tell me if it is just that I am picking out not so good ones or is it my taste buds changing, again? I loved it before going raw. I ate tons of them the first few months. But I am finding the same thing that happened with avocados. I find that my stomach turns at the thought of them. I bought one and let it go bad because I couldn’t bring myself to eat it. Has anyone else experienced this? Things that I ate all the time before going raw just don’t taste good, sound good, look good to me. And the frustrating thing is that they are staples in a raw food diet.

I don’t like any, young or mature. Actually, I can do some mature but not much. I have tried the water out of one young coconut and it tasted like metal. I might try again with a another young one and see if I just had a bad one. I don’t mind dried coconut and I actually thought last night about drying my own and seeing if I like that. Another thing that I can’t do until our house is done. I am glad to see that I am not the only one. Sometimes I think that I am messing something up simply because all other raw foodies are raving about a particular food or recipe and my body says, “No Way!”.
Hey, that’s really nice of you.
Apples, I LOVE apples, grapes, oranges, grapefruit, banana’s (especially in smoothies or as ice cream), any melon, mangoes, actually almost all fruit are a go. And most veggies though I am obviously eating way more fruit right now. I will have a garden in the summer and add in more veggies when I can grow them. I am not typically a picky eater which is why the whole cocount/avocado thing has really thrown me for a loop.
I love nuts but I really limit them simply because I was putting on weight. And I prefer the way my body feels when it is saturated with water from eating fruit as opposed to water from drinking it, kwim? Too many nuts and I am needing too much water. The high fat content is an interesting thought though.
Avos as a dessert?! Interesting thought. I will have to try that. Thanks!
I really liked coconuts before I went raw, avocados too. It has just been since my taste buds changed that I have struggled with them. That is what I find so strange.
