• I was very happy when my supermarket opened a half-dozen self check-out terminals. Now, I only have to deal with a cashier if the produce codes aren't on file or if my bag of carrots is too heavy or too light for the standard weight that's programme…

• The wild jungle peanuts are from the Amazon rainforest, not Africa. They're not bad, but quite expensive. Of all the raw nuts I've tried, they're my least favourite. The taste is more like a sprouted chickpea than a peanut, which is interesting but …

• Mwahahaha! That's what I like. A sense of humour when discussing such crappy topics (excuse the pun). D&Z, you'll have no trouble finding someone good in the GTA (greater Toronto area) to help you out. I must say that you WILL feel and notice th…

• Yup. They are. You alone can't change them. Only they can change themselves. If they wish to learn from you, they will. Lead by example. But, if they want to remain pitifully small-minded consumers who give no thought to how their actions on earth i…

• Buckwheat gets waterlogged really quickly. How long are you soaking it? Also, are you rinsing well then totally draining it? I have a tendency to rinse all of my seeds, but then leave them too wet. As a result, many don't sprout.

• It is safe to dehydrate at 140 or 145 for the first 45 minutes to an hour. The food you're dehydrating won't reach anywhere near that temperature internally. It is a good idea to do this with high water content foods, to avoid them spoiling during t…

• Unless you buy a jar that are clearly marked as raw, assume that they are not raw. The sunfood raw olives are great! They're as good as any un-raw ones or better! I have three different kinds: Greek, Moroccan and Peruvian. The Peruvian ones are unsa…

• I really think that some grains are quite nutritious and beneficial. Unless you are unable to eat them for some reason, I don't think they should be avoided. If you want to keep everything 100% raw, then sprouting is the way to go. You can sprout qu…

• I just want to check in, Rawrecruit. After 3.5 weeks, my itchies finally subsided. I was left with dry skin on my face and the bumps are still on my forearm, even though the itch is gone. I've been using a bath brush in the shower every day to exfol…

• From what I've learned from pet owners on this site and subsequent readings, dogs and cats need a meat-based diet and preferably a raw one. They can eat some raw vegan treats, but the bulk of their diets should be made up of fresh, raw, preferably o…

• Yikes! Sounds awful, but I've read it can be really effective. It will certainly help clean out the large intestine. It'll do nothing for the small intestine, though, so you'll have to up the water intake and keep on powering back all the wonderful …

• It took me nearly a month before I had any symptoms beyond constipation here and there and a runny nose. I had one week where every afternoon around 5 pm a sinus or migraine-like headache would come on. Serious dosing with ibuprofen would have it ab…

• I love coconut water. I like the (really)young coconut meat/jelly, but it sometimes repeats on me for hours. I can't eat mature coconut at all or coconut milk/cream for the same reasons, except the reaction is much more extreme. They all give me wic…

• Any imbalances in your diet and daily routine will trigger the body to try to correct that imbalance by overcompensating the other way. If you're worried about recent weight gain and trying to combat it by eating far less, the body will experience e…

• I'm kind of in the same boat. I kicked bulimia 6 months ago. I started incorporating raw into my life a couple of months ago, after watching the numbers on the bathroom scale climb. I hoped that raw would help me kill my cravings and the desire to o…

• Greeneyedlady, thanks for alerting me to that website. The carrot and parsnip fettucine looks outstanding. I can't wait to peruse the rest of the recipes there.

  in raw parsnips Comment by 1sweetpea
• I've seen a few recipes for parsnips, both cooked and raw and they all indicate that you should cut the parsnips lengthwise and remove the woody interiors. I wish I had known this last April when I made a roasted root vegetable dish (in my pre-raw d…

• GSE was recommended to me by a couple of people on these forums. It is grapefruit seed extract. I mentioned it to my chiropractor and he said as an experiment he put several drops in a large fish tank filled with water, that had a lot of algae and s…

• I use my carrot pulp to make mock tuna salad (Ani Phyo’s recipe). I’ve also used carrot and beet pulp to make dehydrated burgers and doggy treats for my friends’ dogs.

• Here comes WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION: the whole seeds come out the other end quite intact. It's a great way to determine how efficient your eliminative system is. If it takes 3 days for them to make an appearance, you need to up the fibre and water i…

  in Papaya seed question. Comment by 1sweetpea
• If you decide to chew the seeds or grind them up and eat them, they apparently make a decent parasite cleanse. I wouldn’t describe the flavour as anything similar to black pepper, but the reaction in my nose is similar to what I experience with supe…

• They're probably too busy worrying about what you'll think of them or their dish. Most people are pretty self-absorbed and don't take nearly as much time to consider everyone else's actions and motivations. If you don't draw a lot of attention to wh…

• I wouldn’t think that peppermint essence is raw, but what about fresh peppermint leaves? Maybe you could pound a bunch in a mortar and pestle, then extract the oils and liquids. It might work. I suggested the peppermint essence because it is traditi…

• Cocoa butter is essentially white chocolate. If you’re okay with using peppermint essence, you could do this pretty easily with soaked and dehydrated almonds or the nut of your choice, or even dried fruits like cranberries. I don’t have a recipe for…

• Waterlogging and too much light might both be issues. I read somewhere that the commercially grown mung beans are sprouted in near complete darkness and in very tightly packed conditions so that they grow fat and juicy, not long and stringy (kind of…

  in a Sprouted Bean Toxic? Comment by 1sweetpea
• I have only heard that kidney beans are toxic when sprouted. It’s possible that many or all beans and seeds have small amounts of toxins when sprouted, but, eaten in small quantities, we suffer no ill effects. I have read about kidney beans from sev…

• My layperson’s assumption is that the calories in the juice of a fruit or veggies should be roughly equivalent to what the lists say, minus the fibre calories. So, if a medium sized (76g) kiwi fruit (without skin) is 46 calories, with 2 grams of fib…

• I bought mine online from a raw and health food supplier in Canada. It was sold either in powder form or in its whole algae form. I’m sure the powder is what you need for your recipe. There’s a recipe on this site for a Velveeta-esque cheeze. Appare…
