• Spinach has something in it that can interfere with absorption of calcium, so you may want to try replacing it with other greens if you're concerned about getting enough calcium. A cup of almonds has about one-third of the daily calcium recommendati…

• I DO use massive quantities of agave (about a gallon per month for my son & me), and I feel no need to justify it. It works for us, except when it doesn't, and then I eat other things. :)

• www.thehoneycompany.com sells RAW honey - I've seen the whole process there. He even uses a fine-toothed metal comb thingy to uncap the honeycomb so it won't get the heat that would come from using a hot knife like a lot of beekeepers use. He is als…

• I love agave. I love raw honey. I love dates. I love zucchini, and cauliflower, and almonds, and greens, and avocados, and... I feel good when I eat what's best for me, and that isn't the same things or the same amounts every day or every week. The …

• It seems to me that if you’re ready to eat simple foods, you’ll do it & not be bored? I understand not wanting to spend loads of time or money – I’ve found or invented several recipes that are either simple, or inexpensive, or both, and I eat th…

• Another reason a lot of recipes are made with cashews is that they are recipes that sould originally have been made with dairy, and cashews blend up creamy with water – no gritty texture like when blending all those other nuts. Pine nuts get creamy,…

• Interesting. Some people eat dates, cashews & dehydrated foods because eating those things makes them feel amazing & alive! As for the raw industry, I was out with a friend the other night & I wished there were raw eating places around s…

• rawbryan & carrie6292 – They always start out crunchy, & water won’t soften them. Look at my post above about a sauce to soften them. :)

• I’m going to check with the company to be sure on the refrigeration thing. They’re always refrigerated when I buy them at the health food stores, so I always keep them in the fridge. It would be great if I didn’t have to!

  in Where to buy kelp noodles? Comment by angie207
• The noodles will soften easily if you make a sauce containing garlic, salt & lemon. Just let them sit in the sauce until they’re as soft as you want them (the more lemon/garlic/salt, the faster they’ll soften). I make a nut-based alfredo sauce (…

  in Where to buy kelp noodles? Comment by angie207
• They are GOOD! You can order them online if your health food store doesn’t carry them, but I think you have to buy a case of them at a time. That wouldn’t be a problem for me, because I like them and the expiration date is usually a few months away.…

• Wild rice isn’t raw, so it doesn’t sprout – it splits when soaked, so people thought it was raw & sprouting & it’s now in lots of “raw” recipes. The only rice that is raw (will sprout) is “sweet brown rice” – not the same as regular brown ri…

• Unhulled – so does that mean it still has the hulls on? I’ve bought barley with the hulls removed, and I soak it for 12 hours, rinse, then sprout it for 24 – 36 hours, rinsing twice a day.

• Lately I repeat in my mind “I am building a healthy body” and I make a salad or something else raw. That drives away any temptation. Then, when I wonder again 30 minutes later :P, I get on here and read a new discussion, or look at a new recipe, or …

• I don’t know about your dreams, or about hypnotherapy, but often people have covered up issues with food, so when they eat pure food, it doesn’t cover up emotions like the other stuff used to. Also, I’ve had dreams/perceptions that showed how I felt…

  in New to Raw...Questions! Comment by angie207
• I agree – just do what’s best for you. For me, it was better to eat Manna Bread for a while, until I could make my own raw breads, because it gave me a lot of what my body needed & kept me satisfied so I didn’t eat other stuff that would have be…

• Nutritional yeast isn’t really raw, although many people use it & feel great. Sprouted doesn’t necessarily mean raw – Ezekiel & Manna bread are made of sprouted grains that are then made into bread/tortillas and baked. Manna bread is “baked …

• rawaholic – Yes! I loved the nutmilk, too. :) I usually don’t like them sweet, but the coconut oil & salt made it more grounded or something. Good one! (But then I really like coconut oil already…)
