• The class was GREAT! We had raw tacos – I pointed out that I just made dinner in ten minutes. :) Then I made a simple salad dressing, spring onion cheese to dip veggies in, & chocolate “ice cream” They liked the food, & we all had a good tim…

• I am ready! The class is tonight. I am doing raw tacos instead of zucchini pasta, and I’m going to try to fit in the cheese. :) Superman (my son) will help with fetching the ingredients, and my mom is going to do the “dangerous” stuff (using knives,…

• Okay, so the class is finally going to happen – this Tuesday! I only get 45 minutes. So I’m going to do a salad dressing (Superman’s “Superhero Dressing!”), a main dish (zucchini pasta – probably with two sauce options) and a dessert (probably a fre…

• gorawmom & mamamilk – Thanks for your input! I started with NO equipment, except knives. Then I bought a $20 blender. It miraculously lasted a year, & someone gave me a used food processor after that. So then I could make stuff in the food p…

• I have an Omega juicer, a dehydrator, a Vita-Mix (my Mom’s), a regular blender and a food processor. No spiral slicer. I have talked to a lot of people who have tried raw, but haven’t stuck with it, or who have heard of it & just don’t make it a…

• Thanks for all the ideas so far! Kandace – I guess I only really know what the health benefits have been for me, & that’s not the area I feel really comfortable in, but maybe if I start paying more attention to the posts that talk about what raw…

• pianissima – the website is now jordanalmonds.com & they only sell candy – waaaaah!!! I know that www.realrawfood.com sells all kinds of nuts they say are really raw, but I haven’t ordered from them yet, so I can’t say from experience.

• pianissima – thanks for the link for those raw almonds – $5 a pound, really?! Wow! I’m super excited about that! Throw ideas out the window – so true! Before raw, when I was trying to lose weight, I had to stick to about 1,800 calories per day, and …

• You can sprout buckwheat, blend it up in the food processor with your choice of seasonings, spread it out thin on teflex or parchment paper, & dehydrate it. Just be aware that for some reason, things made with sprouted buckwheat seem to end up w…

• I only use hydrogen peroxide for when I’m getting strep throat – I mix it with water & gargle with it. I’m not an expert, though; I just like using sea salt – btw, it’s what David Wolfe used to use & recommend before he had a toothpaste to s…

• Holy cow! I needed to read this – I have been eating high-raw for almost 3 years. I never had the intention to be 100% raw; I just started to eat what my body wanted & that led to a lot of raw food very quickly. I never went longer than about 3 …

• I just read the post that you want a hot sauce flavor: hot peppers, fresh garlic, fresh ginger, and some apple cider vinegar blended up make a good hot sauce. Then you can just put flax seeds in a bowl, add hot sauce & water to cover the flax se…

• Man! I just looked at the list, and now I don’t know if I should say thanks or not :( I was thinking of the top 10 list, & this one has a lot more – oh, well. I HAVE been wanting to know what more I can do for my health! :)

• rishi – Thanks! I have been wanting that list again, but I didn’t know where to look :) That list is how I get by eating raw on a low budget!

  in Juice Feasting without organic - Is it worth it? Comment by angie207
• Maybe, but look at how long each variety takes to grow, & it depends on your climate. If you get an early variety, you may still get away with it? Or see if there’s a phone # or email link to ask them about it.

• www.therawchoice.com has really raw dried fruit, & there may be some others, but generally, dried fruit is dried aroud 160 F or higher, because it’s faster 7 therefore more economical. So it’s natural that a person will lose the taste for those …
