• The site doesn’t says they are unpasteurized. I’ve asked in anther forum if “they” can sell unshelled almonds unpasteurized. I don’t know this new California-almond law… nor the pasteurization process… but, would they really need to pasteurize unshe…

• Thanks for the reply. I’m glad to hear that there is a chance it’s not geneticially modified. My husband thinks the “fine print” read, ”...when compared to California avocados”. whew These were the big more-green avocados.

• The only things not raw about this “Layered Lebanese Salad” is the bulgar wheat. I’m sure the sprouted quinoa would make a great substitute. Oh yeah, and forget the broth, that was just for marinating the bulgur wheat. And of course, use first cold …

• They taste better raw. Actually, I’m thinking of Kale. But, I’ve had the collard greens raw (several times) and I was suprised that I can eat and enjoy them. Try not to get the collard greens with tough stems. Sometimes you can just fold the stem up…

• It’s got to be in the canned tomato. I make a “chile the arbol” and an “enchilada sauce” which is mostly from canned tomato sauce. It tastes good (but haven’t made it in a long time… since (of course) it’s not raw). Most of the salsa recipes here ha…

• Parchment paper works better (for me). It dries food faster than if using teflex. I’ve made several nut patties and cookies… and when I used the teflex, they were always moister at the bottom/center. I had to flip them over! Something I never did wh…

• just thinking aloud I have not googled this… but, we soak to remove enzyme inhibitors like tannin & phytic acid. I don’t think the enzyme inhibitor is only in the peel. If it was, that would mean we could peel the raw, unsoaked, ungerminated, un…

• There is a topic here about soaking the nuts. Read my 2nd post. Germinating/Soaking allows for easier digestion by removing enzyme inhibitors. The almond milk you buy in the grocery store (on the shelf) is NOT raw. Raw food is typically kept in the …

• What’s in your tub??? Well, aside from the good ol’ plunger, strainers, and garbage disposals for bathroom sinks, tubs, & kitchen sinks, I have no idea. Good question. P.S. Don’t let the lemons go down the drain. ;-)

• Baking soda? I’m going to have to try that some time. Lemons just happens to be what I have all the time. We only have one organic cleaner and I want to look for “healthier” cleaners… for now, lemons was the easiest thing for me to try. jkd_soccer80…

• I agree with 123. Avocados, flaxseed, greens, fruit. Plus, some spices if you like to add “other” flavor… and lemons! I use them often. Equipment? Food processor. It can somewhat blend like a blender, but it also does great chopping and shredding. (…

• Enzyme inhibitors are in nuts/seeds which allows for a longer shelf life. When you soak nuts/seeds, you remove enzyme inhibitors such as tannin and phytic acid. You then have “living” nuts/seeds. So, they will go bad/rancid (oxidize) if you don’t ea…

  in can i store sprouted almonds? Comment by germin8
• After germinating, you can store soaked nuts, seeds, grains in the refrigerator covered with water. You MUST change the water daily or once every 2 days… but I recommend daily to 1.5 days. They stay in the fridge for about a week, depending. To keep…
