• I got the cards… the pictures are in color, and the back of them tell you what parts are edible, their uses, and characteristics. Very nice.

• RCBAlive, The fat is in the sunflower seeds. The Cucumber Dressing is a recipe from vegan Chef Jurea Dawson. A good friend of mine works with Jurea every-now-and-then. And, I’ve met Jurea and her family a while back. They are nice people and have a …

• I think the VitaMix can do just about the same work that the Champion can do (except, of course juice). I’m referring to making nut butters and ice cream. The Vita Mix can do the same. I use my food processor the most. I see you didn’t list that… so…

• queenfluff, I just read your forum about the small farm in California protected by “some old law”. That’s great news… that we can order raw almonds from them. Thanks for the info.

  in Bad News About the Almond Pasteurization Extension Comment by germin8
• This is not good news. Thanks for the update queenfluff. So, CAN we get raw almonds overseas? Or are they just organic (and pasteurized)? So, all those raw bars with almonds are no longer raw… they probably have to re-label the package to not read “…

• Well, I’m pretty picky about my fruits and veggies… so for those, may I recommend… that if the fruit/veggies are borderline too-ripe or just on the brink of about-to-go-bad (but still edible). Cook them instead and serve those… while you eat the fre…

• Good question. I was on NuvaRing, so I completed the cycle. It may take a month or months before things are “back to normal”. My diet changes a lot… sometimes I’m 90% raw, sometimes I am not-so-raw… and I think this affects my cycle length becuase i…

• wanna_B_raw, congratulations. It’s a brave move. :o) You are right about the lower libido. BCPs affect people in different ways. I used the nuva ring… which was less hormones. However, I read that less hormones have the increased side effects (but, …

• Thanks for your comments. I’ve only heard that a raw diet improves vision & sight… but never met anyone who experienced it. It’s nice to know it can help… even if it is not everyone.

• Well, I just read this article, Eat it Raw! from Lifetime Fitness, where it reads that a “roasted nut is 75 percent fat and 25 percent protein…” but if sprouted ”...that ratio reverses and becomes 25 percent fat and 75 percent protein”. They talk ab…

• The same way you would soak/germinate seeds. Just soak them in water for up to 24 hours, changing the water 3-4 times. You can use cool or room temperature water. However, I prefer to soak oat groats for 48 hours because they are softer and makes it…
