• KirstensRaw, thanks for posting that. I’ve been struggling with what pre-natals to use… for when we do decide. And all those details, birth plan, homeschool, vaccination, etc. We’re travelling to India, so I think we are waiting until after India an…

• Hmmm, I thought the nut in the apricot kernel is poisonous… or maybe it was the peach. Anyone know? Did you eat them before? Assuming it is not poisonous and you have eaten them before, I think you should soak them… like all nuts, they should have e…

• I ran into this recently: http://www.harvestessentials.com/whatjuicisri.html You will need a masticating juicer (probably the cheapest for what you want to do)... except the Champion masticating Juicer is not good for greens. Just out of curiosity, …

• Emlee, the answer to your question about storing them is in my last post. Do you need more details? Typically, two handful of nuts a meal is the limit. But, I heard that from ‘typical’ non-raw, food-combining vegans. Usually, when you germinate, the…

• Good questions Emlee… about Whole Food’s nuts. I didn’t check out the forums people talked about… but I did notice the packaged nuts in Whole Foods say “raw cashews”, “raw sunflower seeds”, “raw almonds”, raw etc… Interestingly, after the Sept 2007 …

• Ewwww, gross! The reason I don’t use probiotics… I’m afraid to spoil my food. Try covering with plastic wrap to keep it from oxidizing in those areas… but you may still need to scrape some mold off. But, don’t take my word for this… I’ve never done …

• Awesome! People want the good food… but nobody is making it or taking it to social events. And, glad you made some money off of it. It’s always nice… especially when they really like the food… they’re sure to come back!

• So, this looks like they will just want to outlaw the supplement. But not produce – am I understanding this right? (I read it several days ago… and I’m just coming back to reply)

• *Winona* Wow, I haven't been on this site often lately... but I did watch that youtube video that someone posted about agave not being raw because of how it's processed. I was soooo disappointed. Anyway, I want to change that recipe... but right now…

• So true skizzy… My life is a whole lot healthier when I take raw food one-meal-at a time. I didn’t realize how stressful eating was for me… I felt everything I ate was bad (I should mention this was after I read Trudeau’s book and months later I tri…

• Well, I think it would have to be hyphenated “purely-raw” or underscored “purely_raw”. I like it… better than “all-raw” Since electricity_free and nut_free are underscored, I think “purely_raw” should also be underscored. With that, is ‘sea salt’ (a…

• Well, when we don’t want to give up our greens, we roll them up in a (cooked) chile-tortilla and add strips of veggies in them… and overload it with greens… and we pack them all in there and serve them with a dip (dressing or sauce). BTW, the wilted…

• Wow, 50lbs in 50 days. That’s amazing… and it sounds like you are still going strong with the raw food diet! Maybe the light-headed-ness was sign of detox. Did you have detox symptoms at the start? I know there are a few phases of detoxing… (I think…

• Wow… even SAD eaters. Kinda makes me want to point fingers back at them for giving us a hard time about B12. ;-)

  in Vitamin B12 Comment by germin8
• (I heard) We need such little amount of B12, that it is barely noticeable in food and cannot be measured in food without the appropriate instrumentation to measure. If you have the right equipment, you will find B12. Plus, cabbage and comfrey is sai…

• This is very thoughtful. Wasn’t Gone Raw going to make a recipe book? I’d buy that… I think it should have an FAQ for beginners since they can’t have an FAQ here on this site. As for the t-shirt idea… I agree with Audrey, “represent in style”.

  in Money for GoneRaw Comment by germin8
• I don’t agree that it is a huge money saver, except that you get your money’s worth. Organic, local, and picked that morning (of your delivery) Our CSA encourages us to go pick our own fruits. It’s good and bad. It’s good to pick our own foods, but …

• I mean it’s a good deal… great price. Just not too many people have 200K to pay it outright. We also saw 400 acres for 400K also in VT. That’s probably the best deal we’ve seen so far. But, we’re not biting… we have to sell first. Can’t wait to eat …

• I should clarify. 2HP is 2 horsepower. It’s Power. 2 speed and 12 speed refers speed… you have finer granularity with the 12 speed. Since VitaMix is variable, you have even more control, even finer granularity.

  in Looking for a Blender... Comment by germin8
• It’s a variable speed. You control its speed. But, it’s 2 HP. Someone posted on this forum their website… I checked it out and found a section on blender reviews where they mentioned their Oster 500 watt blender. It’s cheaper. Can’t blend frozen ite…
