• The “skinny pasta noodle” is most probably wakame or arame. Make sure it’s dried. Zoe is right about hijiki, it’s steamed at a high temperature. Most dressings are not raw, as they all usually contain at least two of the following ingredients: mirin…

• I’ve been eating more fruit in the last couple of days, and I’ve had some tummy aches too. I went back to some of the forums, and I’m assuming it’s the food combination. I’ve for example had papaya followed by a banana and later a grapefruit. Is thi…

• I put mine right away in the fridge when I get back from the store, and when I plan to use one I take it out the day before. I find this works perfectly.

• I actually just looked up jicama because I had no idea what it looked like and I can’t seem to find any where I live, and the description mentions the peel is not edible, therefore to confirm Ray’s assumption, it does need peeling.

• Hi countrygirl! First thing, put your tahini in the fridge! This way, you extend its shelf considerably. I’ve just checked my reference guide, and tahini keeps from 8 to 12 months in the fridge. I actually put everything in the fridge, raw crackers,…

• Papayas, papayas, papayas! Lychees are really good too. But they’re expensive here, so my bugdet prefers sticking to apples. I must admit I am addicted to grapes though…

• I’ve used olive oil before bedtime, and then sleeping with gloves (the winter’s -30 Celsius has really damaged my already fragile hands), but I will try coconut oil, and hope it cures them faster. I’ll let you all know my comparison results.

• I have read that manna bread is not raw, as the cooking temperature is higher than 118 degrees. If I’m not mistaken, I read this on the Rawfoods.com bulletin board.

• Your liver stocks the B12 for up to 5 years, but the stock slowly depletes as time goes by. That’s why, as my doctor explained to me, you can go for a certain period of time without B12, but after a while you need to replenish your stocks otherwise …
