• Thank you, everyone. Your information is very helpful! Time to make cakes, pies, and cheesecakes! ...oh yeah, and Chef Russell James' raw tofu (using cashews & Irish Moss).

  in How Long does Irish Moss Keep Comment by germin8
• No, I haven't soaked it... So two questions then: How long does it last unsoaked? How long does it last after soaked?

• If I remember correctly, according to Enzyme Nutrition book, eczema is caused by inability for lipase enzyme to digest fat. So, eat/use raw fat which should have the lipase enzyme.

• Hmmm, very good question... and I haven't the slightest idea. I would think a very small percentage... but that's a complete guess. Is the nutrition (protein, vitamins, minerals) mostly in the milk or pulp? Hmmmm. Well, it will definitely have LOTS …

  in Straining Nut Milk = Withholding Nutrients? Comment by germin8
• Thank you for the link. Hazelnuts are not on the list... but it does say not to soak Brazil Nuts. Does less soak time imply less enzyme inhibitor? I guess the question still remains... which nuts have which enzyme inhibitors (and what are the names …

• Wow, I just read the response from Maleko & RRM... "Some nuts contain very little enzyminhibitors (Brazil nuts, macadamia nuts), while others contain more (walnuts) or much more (chestnuts). " ...still so much to learn.

• Please Name the Enzyme Inhibitors! I bumped into this link: http://www.acneboard.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=142 I read that germinating does NOT remove all phytic acid. I thought phytic acid was an enzyme inhibitor? I have to check my Nutrition book.…

• If you don't want to jump into a fast, start eating a vegan diet... first... then a couple days before doing a fast, eat raw foods only. This should help. Gourmet foods is nice... it is good transitional food, however, it does tend to be more work t…

• Where does our spinach mostly come from? My hubby went to Wegman's and saw a sign 'apologizing' for the inconvenience... of lack of food due to the drought in California. He said many 'shelves' were only half full.

• I use those websites too! My problem with such, is that there is no way of knowing if the nutrition data is from raw, dormant, biogenic(?) nuts/seeds... or germinated, bioactive(?) seeds. The nutritional content, acidity, and protein-to-fat ratio ch…

• I would have to agree. Green smoothies does help with the cravings. However, I have done a 10-day raw, vegan diet which consisted of about 10% vegetables (including greens) and the rest were nuts, grains, seeds, and oils... and that diet quenched my…

• You don't need to soak flax seeds, unless you want a "gooey" texture. In that case, "yes" grind them. Regarding "Would the enzyme inhibitors still be intact if we do not soak prior to grinding?"... Are you asking if enzyme inhibitors are intact if y…
