  • I agree with the short soak time (30 minutes) and it only takes buckwheat 24 hours to sprout little 1/8” tails. The key is that when you rinse and drain twice a day, do it very thoroughly – you can’t overdo it, but you can underdo it. My method: For…
  • sanprecario – Wow, how cool that there was an article “Raw Until Dinner.” I have come to that conclusion for myself – breakfast and lunch are easy, dinner is harder especially when I have a SAD eating family and I do the cooking. I eat raw until din…
  • Does anyone else have a great version?
  • Thank you Sweetpea!
  • Sweetpea and Rachel – First of all, thank you so much for responding! Rachel – I don’t know where to begin with your submission, so please keep reading this reply. For both of you, will you please be specific on both the quantities and methodology? …
  • It’s too noisy for me to have in my kitchen, so I have it in the garage, BUT do not let the noise stop you from getting an Excalibur. I love it. If I lived in an apartment I’d put it in a closet with good ventilation. Worst case I’d put it in my kit…
  • misty – I’m new to raw (I think it’s day 53 today) and I am finding that I am not ready for 100% raw. I have found a good balance for me. I am eating raw for breakfast, lunch and snacks, and am eating a healthy cooked meal at dinner (fish, chicken, …
  • Hey Blue, I just emailed you all my info. I’m looking forward to this!
  • I was vegetarian for nine years and probably ate only one vegetable a day! So much for healthy eating. Mexican food galore, filled with cheese and carbs. I agree with pianissima – congratulations on connecting health with diet. Celebrate all your su…

  • Want to curb your hunger that hits you midday? This is probably a no-brainer for the long-term raw foodists, but for me it was a great discovery – apple carrot juice in the afternoon as a snack! I juiced 9 pretty big carrots and half of one apple an…
  • Thanks everyone. I ate one today on “Spicy Tortilla” Crackers (I dehydrated them completely and just love them that way, too) w/Mock Tuna, and sprouts. Yum. My daughter ate one last night as guacamole w/flax crackers. So I have 5 left in the frig an…
  • www.sproutpeople.com. Their website tells you just about everything you need to know and you don’t have to buy a thing to get the info. I bought their starter kit which included a sprouter and have had terrific success! I sprout my buckwheat groats …

  • I had an old Ronco in the garage, so I started with that just to try out stuff when I first tried the raw food lifestyle. Within two weeks I knew I wanted to keep eating raw and I knew I wanted a more convenient dehydrator so I bought a 5-tray Excal…
  • Oops! I rearranged msrawdiva’s name as msdivaraw. Sorry about that! My intention was good anyway. :-)
  • I don’t live near any of my relatives, and I am only very new to eating raw so I can’t really relate, except that my caveman husband is a daily resistant factor and I have to cook traditional food for him so I’m faced with it daily. The way I look a…
  • msrawdiva – Thanks for the info on local organic farmers! You’re a wealth of info! I’m going to trial a trial membership if they have room for me. Here’s the link again for others to find local organic farmers in their area. http://www.localharvest.…
  • A jar is fine, but I really like the sprouter that www.sproutpeople.com sell. It’s so easy and self draining (once you shake the bulk of the water out) so no need to find a spot to prop your jar at a 45 degree angle for draining (and possibly fallin…

  • Krystale – hey great idea to use the car dashboard! I live in sunny southern california so we have plenty of sun to warrant dehydrating outside, but I’ve been worried about bugs and ants getting to it, even with a mesh covering. The car is a great i…
  • Kevin – you’re a good googler! Before I posted my question I looked and looked and looked and couldn’t find anything. Thank you! Great link!
  • rawmama – that’s why I said in my question “do I have to buy the book?” I was thinking of copyright laws. But people are posting full recipes out of other books and giving credit to the book, so I dont know on this one… meganthevegan – Thanks!

  • Sorry – I cut and pasted and evidently the format messed up the forum posting. Oops!
  • Great idea to post this! This should be shared with newbies too. I’m a newbie – just crossed the 30 day mark. Here’s what I put in my personal diary after only 9 days raw: 1. My Sjogren's disease symptoms of arthritis in my wrists and knees, dry mou…
  • I’m new too and I NEED to have crunch in my diet that’s not wet and cold, so for me I have to have Grawnola on hand! This is a great recipe … http://www.goneraw.com/recipes/688-Grawnola- Also, I have to have premade almond milk, sweetened with dates…
  • Dinner is the hardest! I still have to cook for my non-raw family and my caveman husband won’t touch a vegetable or drink water – it’s meat, starch, plus beer, soda or wine. Sigh. It’s not what he eats that is hard for me to stay away from, it’s tha…
  • 8 pounds in 32 days. 15 more to go.
  • I just dehydrated outside this last weekend and used my excalibur dehydrators trays and mesh, since there was a little air underneath for circulation when I laid it on the patio table. I put those mesh pop-open picnic food saver type pyramids over e…
  • heartshapedsky – If rosacea is due to inflammation then a good anti-inflammatory to eat is kale. I have made a massaged kale salad a few times and thrown in a few toppings on it that I liked, like tomatoes and marinated mushrooms, and it was really …
  • I think there’s an Encinitas Meetup group already formed. I won’t go further south than that for social things (most of the time) since I spend enough time in the car commuting every day and traffic is getting worse and worse. I’ll bet there are som…
  • Blue – I would love to meet at The Greenery sometime! It would have to be dinner for me since I work in Carmel Valley and couldn’t make it there for lunch. Maybe we could start another post for this invitation or is that more suited for a meetup gro…
