• Debbietook, yes, in the US, true yams are almost never seen in stores. Sweet potatoes and yams are not the same thing, but in the US, the names are used interchangeably to refer to what should technically be called sweet potatoes. I eat raw rhubarb …

• Hey Germin8, have you noticed a difference based on the fruits you include? I often have problems with stomach acid when I drink green smoothies in which the fruit is mostly bananas, dates, or oranges. Interestingly, I’m totally fine with many other…

• Sadly, I think I recall reading that most frozen veggies are blanched before freezing. I’m not sure if that is the case for fruits, too. But I also recall reading that Cascadian Farms Organics (which is available in the US at health food stores – no…

• I think I posted this on another topic a while back, but I’ve had knock-me-out-for-a-week periods and cramping since my period started at the ripe old age of 10. But when I got my IUD 4 years ago, they became utterly crippling. I tried every natural…

• Depends on where you are—some locally-produced salsas are sold raw, but that probably is more common in areas where salsa is especially common (Texas, California, etc.). It does seem that it’s getting more popular everywhere, though! Co-ops are prob…
