• RawrAdisaurous, If you don’t blanch veggies before freezing they will turn color. Has to do with some enzyme ‘activity’. But, if your book says to blanch if they are not vacuum sealed, then it’s probably because they oxidize. I like what rawmama sai…

• Wow, thanks for that informational post queenfluff. I’ve been wanting to try Irish Moss.

  in What the heck is Irish moss? Comment by germin8
• Well, agar is $60+ per pound. You only need a little bit of Irish moss or agar flakes at a time. I’m not sure how long Irish moss keeps. Lecithin or chia seeds could be another substitute. Cheaper.

• I’ve never used it myself… it’s supposed to make things thicker or more gelatinous. I use agar instead; it’s easier to find.

• Thank you for the recipes! I’m going to have to try both of them! I’m not sure what to use for mixed herbs that will go well with the miso, cumin, and coriander… so I’ll skip it and see if it turns out okay. Ooooo, Indian Flatbread… I love Indian fo…

• Here is where I learned abut the mature/immature seeds. It’s in the video about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way into the video… so you can just “fast forward” to that section… you should see a watermelon. I think fruit should have good mature seeds.

  in Color of Watermelon - HELP!- Comment by germin8
• Is it seedless? Does it have mature seeds? ...or at least plenty of them? (It’s probably okay if they do have mature seeds… guessing)

• I imagine… the same way you do when you make almond milk. Wash, squeeze out the water (almond milk part) with a cheesecloth or sieve. But, I suggested to just throw it out.

  in HELP-Is my almond meal bad? Comment by germin8

• When did you make the almond milk/pulp? It should be ‘okay’ in the fridge for up to 4 days. I haven’t seen what you describe… maybe wash it again. I usually don’t risk “questionable” raw food on guests… don’t want to make them sick or ‘turn them awa…

  in What kind of olive oil? Comment by germin8
• I vary mine… I use Lapas, Bionature, and Rapuzel. All organic kinds… whatever they sell at Whole Foods that’s “cheapest” but 1st cold-pressed. Where on the Bariani website does it say its cold pressed.

• Nut butters in the magic bullet? I didn’t think it was able to handle it! Cool. What attachments do you use? If the magic bullet can do it, it would be great for small amount of nut butters.

  in Food processor?? Comment by germin8
• The magic bullet is more of a mini blender. It is perfect for grinding small amounts of flax, seeds, spices. And, it’s perfect for making small amounts of salad dressings. I suppose you can sort of pulse it to make a chunky type salsa… but I’ve neve…

• The water is in raw foods (undehydrated). I would agree you need half your weight in ounces. I drank 64 oz of water a day for years… and recently cut back. I notice a difference. Water also helps ‘flush’ you… but, I guess in a raw diet with foods co…

• Yeah, I agree with Luna Blu. Basically… you need to be ‘licensed’ to prescribe/sell these things. So, those people are probably doctors and naturopathic doctors (w/ M.D.s/PhD) from schools like Bastyr and the like. (Well, wherever they can call them…

• I used to make an oatmeal with soaked oat groats… and of course, blend it with banana. But, I’ve made other foods that call for oat groats (unblended). Usually, those are easier to chew if soaked longer (48 hrs). But… maybe they just provide fiber/r…
