• You can speak to the produce managers of the grocery stores and also any farmer’s markets. A lot of them throw away produce that is not perfect, wilting, or has soft spots on it. They might be willing to give you bags of produce that is not good eno…

• Good tip on the cornstarch, and cleaning the bath tub too :) Who would have known how simple things can be?! :) We used to put our peels into a pot of water with cinnamon sticks on the stove and let it simmer, the house smelled great! I know that a …

• If organic, I use the outside of the cukes, otherwise put them in the compost outside. The juiceman says: lemons and limes can be used whole (rind and all), but oranges and grapefruits should have the rind cut off (only the colored part, thin outsid…

• I soak mine overnight unless I need them for a recipe later that day and then only soak for about 4 hours. I found that if they soaked too long they did not taste as good in nut milks, not as rich in flavor, but maybe that was just a weak batch of n…

• We chop them up into tiny pieces and add on top of salads. Also dehydrating them until soft…dicing them first (to speed up the dehydration process), then adding salt and a touch of lemon juice as sweetpea said.

• I am wondering if it’s like greens…some people at first do not like them, but after awhile their bodies crave them, possibly because it is something that helps their bodies stay healthy?

• mmtol, thanks for that tip! I will try them in citrus AND buy some seeds, had NO idea they would survive around here even with the snow :) Karmyngirl, I wasn’t crazy about them either, but did soak them (a small amount) and used in a smoothie and it…

• I do like the Boutenko DVDs, the Green for Life is very informative, and also love Victoria’s other DVDs. I also like any demo type as Shazzie and info ones as Fred Bisci (very good) and David Wolfe.

• Wow! That is really interesting, thank you for sharing that James, I need to share the depression/cashew coincidence with a friend that eats cashews a lot…just in case that might be a depression link for her too!

• For butter we just combine coconut oil and salt, it will solidify in the fridge. Tastes good on raw corn on the cob :)

• I’ll look thru her book, Green for Life, and see if it says it in there also. I imagine that Vitamix would have some sort of data that would prove this wouldn’t they?
