• FYI on making rejuvelac: “sweet brown rice” is the only kind of rice that is raw & will sprout. A lot of people have rejuvelac go bad because they use tap water when rinsing, soaking or sprouting the grain, and chlorine in the water kills the be…

• Oats usually aren’t raw (even “raw” oat groats), because they’re steamed when hulled. You can order really raw (i.e. unheated & sproutable) oats from www.sunorganic.com – just be sure to order the oats for sprouting. Kasha is roasted buckwheat, …

• TreeOfLife – 80/10/10 is not the only way to heal the body of diabetes (type 1 or type 2), though it works well for some. I am a type 1 diabetic, and I have found great success (I use only one-third of my previous amount of insulin) by eating raw – …

• What? ALL my recipes are good :) But if you ever liked Orange Julius, try my “Orange With Ice” (my son’s name for it) – it’s better than the “real thing”. My favorite on goneraw is Zoe’s “Cheese With Spring Onions”

• Sprouted grains (wheat, buckwheat, quinoa, etc.), nuts, seeds, veggies, fruit, oil, lentil sprouts, avocados, honey, coconut, and sometimes some all natural meat or raw goat milk cheese. There’s lots to eat besides greens, but, like I said, now that…

• Interesting responses! I will add that wild fish also has mercury, so it may be in your best interest to cut that out completely. Also, for the first two years I ate almost completely raw, I ate greens only about once a week! I still had lots of hea…

• Cool – good to know! Additionally, David Wolfe recommends eating sulfurous veggies with some type of fat to aid the digestion.

• Nah, they really didn’t sprout – I peeled them & looked. It was from a health food store here in Utah – we don’t have TJs or Whole Foods here. Winona – The farms can’t ship the almonds without pasteurizing them first. The only way to get them un…

• I don’t usually buy organic nuts & seeds, unless that’s my only raw option or there’s not a big difference in price, because being raw is a higher priority for me than organic, and I don’t have enough money to do both all the time. Ideally every…

• If your tummy is having a hard time, maybe try adding lemon juice with or just before eating your greens. It helps them digest better. Soaking muts & seeds makes them easier to digest, as well as reducing the amount of fat in them. Yeah, burgers…

• pianissima – Hi! Good to see you on here. :) I don’t know – I’ve sprouted them when only soaking for 30 minutes, but I am getting them wet again by rinsing them a couple of times a day. They may be fine after only 40 minutes. I just figured I needed…

• I like to squeeze a little lemon or lime into my water when I’m having trouble getting enough of it – I seem to go through phases when water just tastes gross, and the citrus kick really helps me drink more without getting nauseated.

• People who eat less do so in terms of calories – greens are super low in calories, so I can’t imagine ANYONE getting enough to eat on greens alone. :) For more calories without eating fruit, try buckwheat groats. You can soak them overnight, then ri…

• That’s hilarious! I might just have to include “rotten eggs” in our Halloween diet. ;) My son is excited about the boo nanners, since I showed him the picture. It doesn’t seem to matter that he doesn’t like to eat them. :D

• Sounds fun! :) I’m going to have the kids in my son’s class make the boo-nanners for the class Halloween party (I’m the room mom). My son is picky & doesn’t like bananas, but I will let him just make one for me and he can eat the dried fruit, or…
