    Sea Salt….

    Celery has organic sodium in it, not really that salty though. I too, would like an alternative to soy sauce, miso, and things like braggs. I do not use it because its soy and its bad for you.

    I guess you can buy chickpea miso….? Do not know how its made or if its raw….but I would love to make some.

    Anyone use chickpea miso?

    i found this info on other raw forums still does anyone have that mushroom one? that really sounds like the right idea… not sure about that celery tomato thing?

    these are all not really raw 1) Bragg’s, has been hydrolized 2) Nama Shoyu,is raw but contains wheat :o 3) Tamari which doesn’t have wheat but is cooked :

    substitutes 1) many types of sea salts, which is an inorganic type of sodium. 2) Take lemons, celery and tomatoes, chop them up and dehydrate them. After they are nice and dry, grind them in a coffee grinder and then place them in a spice jar with a shaker lid. Now you have a natural sodium source for seasoning. :) 3) use the liquid from NFL’s Moroccan Olives. If a recipe calls for 1 tbsp shoyu, I substitute 2 tbsp olive liquid.

    Yeah, I would do organic olive oil and maybe some ground sea vegetables?

    I was thinking of blending raw dulse with water? anyone like that idea? also the lemon,celery tomato idea is interesting and olive juice? I’ll try that.. wouldn’t miso be soy too shgadwa? I’m really trying for a braggs/nama substitute that still allows me to make the yummy onion bread, one of the only breads I like raw

    Hi Marniyael, I asked the same question a few months ago. Here is the thread. Nama shoyu is the same as tamari I think but I have successfully eliminated tamari from my diet. Agave…well almost. Hope it’s helpful.

    Onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt and normal pepper are good alternative for taste sensations mixed with avo and flax oil. this has been the thing that turned me off tamari
