I decided recently to become a vegetarian for my first step to going raw. I was an on again off again vegetarian since I was 12 then a few years ago just cut out beef and pork.

I was wondering if there was anyone in my area that knows places to buy raw foods and kitchen supplies? Like a dehydrator? I was planning to hunt through the thrift stores for blenders. I live in Lakewood Washington[south of Seattle, by Tacoma] I plan on going completely raw [or as close as possible] gradually. Any help/support/ideas/advice would be so appreciated!

    Thanks! I’ll look at those websites right away. What is a Vitamix? Do you have any suggestions on dehydrator sizes? I saw some at target online for 39.99 with 5 trays. Is that big enough?

    Some of their food isn’t raw? I read the dead food list by Zoe from www.purelyraw.com and there seem to be conflicting views on what is raw and what isn’t. I want to do this right when I decide to go all the way RAW. I sent Zoe a message on her website and am waiting for a reply. I’ve noticed that alot of recipes on here include foods that are on her Dead food list. I guess I’m looking for some clarification.

    I was just concerned with buying raw foods from people who claim dead foods as raw.

    amysue thanks I’ll be keeping an eye out for those!

    I bought the Excalibur 2500 when I first started on a raw diet. I love it! I thought about getting one that was smaller, but now I wish I would have bought one that was larger. You will be surprised at how often you use it and how quickly the trays fill up. I use it for everything, from fruit, granola, dog cookies, etc. Even items that aren’t on the raw diet (like soy products).

    Like some of the other members mentioned, there’s an abundance of sites out there that have raw food items that are much cheaper than places like Wholefoods. I’ve shopped on www.hempsisters.com, www.iherb.com, and they’re both great.

    Thanks for the help! I have a few people on craigslist that might sell me their stuff. A woman wants $200 for her 9 tray Excalibur[I’m trying to talk her down] and I found a magic bullet for cheap too.
