• Whole Foods often carries raw tahini in the bulk bins, but it kind of depends on how large a store your local store is (larger ones in raw-friendly areas are more likely to have it). Though it’s very affordable that way, my experience with the bulk …

• Morning_theft- I hope you don’t have a UTI! I agree with al!- dehydration often feels like a UTI, so it sounds like that might be what it is. However, as someone recovering from lifelong chronic UTIs (I still get them on raw, but not nearly as often…

• I love chipotles, too, but I think a concern with smoking is that you acquire harmful chemicals from the smoke along with the flavor. Even though the food itself isn’t being cooked, I think you’re still kind of getting the worst of cooking via the c…

• I’d love to see this, too! Actually, I was thinking of a similar thing this morning—I’d love to be able to see people’s ideas of their favorite and least favorite recipes from raw recipe books. Perhaps that could be integrated into a book review for…

• Billy, one of the Whole Foods in ABQ should carry organic wine—if you don’t see it, just ask. Some wine producers are organic but don’t necessarily advertise that fact loudly. Organic wines are still kind of a niche market, so many producers opt to …

• The red lentils I used for this recipe also looked like they were split (they had one flat side and one round side), but to my amazement, they sprouted up perfectly! So you might just give it a try to see what happens.

• Magdi, the third paragraph is talking about other producers, not them (to contrast their method). The second paragraph is the one that details what their procedure is. :)

• If you weren’t soaking your nuts and seeks, you could give that a go. I’ve found that it helps a lot. I think fats can really help immensely during the transition to raw, but I know that I went a little overboard with the nut recipes at first and ex…

• This isn’t related to dietary issues, but I’ve found that my Vitamix can be really frustrating with tasks that are thicker consistencies, particularly in smaller quantities. Though the blender mechanism works perfectly, it is such a pain to get the …

• I used to get canker sores all the time, and I never figured out why! I don’t seem to have gotten many since I changed my diet and started taking probiotics regularly. Maybe eating more fruit is helping? I’m just not sure. But I was fortunate to dis…

• Hi writeeternity – just FYI – like cashews, most brazil nuts you find in stores aren’t actually raw. :( I think if you can find them in their shells you have a better chance of them being raw, but the shelled ones are almost always heated during pro…

• I think they do most of their selling online: http://shop.e3live.com/ They are so nice! The first time I ordered a bottle of dried AFA, they sent me a second bottle free. It’s great stuff! I’m using the dried kind because I didn’t want to have to bu…

• I love the ideas here! I’ll second a few suggestions—-My bf (a BBQ-obsessed Texan) has gone crazy for mexican 7-layer dip with flax/corn chips and pad Thai. He’s actually gone so far as to bring home ingredients for the pad thai and request the reci…

• The Cuisinart dual blender/food processor is a great deal at around $100 (amazon even has the “premier” version for $105). The blender container is glass, too. The food processor is on the small side, and it isn’t quite as flexible as a regular food…

• Spiritedmama, I don’t know if you’re still looking for a brewing method, but even before I went raw, I used to use the Toddy cold-brew method. It’s very simple, and though it’s designed for use with roasted beans, I don’t see any reason why it could…

• Clorox isn’t Chlorine—-it’s sodium hypochlorite. I have to say, even though I’ve read about Clorox baths being recommended by several different authors, I just can’t bring myself to use them. I just use apple cider vinegar and water.
