  in Hard to find organic food Comment by 1sweetpea
• You live in the Niagara region yet you can’t find organic produce??? I realize that winter is approaching, but what about farmer’s markets? They may not be certified organic, but local farmers will tell you how they grow their produce, if you inquir…

• Whereabouts do you live, rawcanadian? If you have no access whatsoever to organic produce, then would you consider ordering some organic seeds from a reputable source and sprouting them? You could even get a greens sprouting kit and grow your own mi…

• I’m a Canadian. We most certainly have half and half. It’s been in my parents’ fridge for as long as I can remember. They’re pretty sure they’d die without it. LOL! I couldn’t believe their horror when I bought them the lower fat 5% cream that’s now…

• I either eat a bit of a nut or seed cheeze/pate, or I eat 4 or 5 raw, cured olives. They’re really salty and you can’t eat too many without feeling like you’ve overdone it. It’s good, because you satisfy the craving quickly and can move beyond the c…

  in WHY FATS AND SODIUM! Comment by 1sweetpea
• I hope you’re right, troublesjustabubble:). I have been eating nonstop today. My body is craving fat, salt and sugar. I started with apples, but I’ve eaten a bunch of nuts, seeds and raw raisins and mulberries. I ate 4 raw olives and I had some carr…

• Bi-polar and depression are pretty extreme terms to throw around to describe mood swings caused by internal upheaval. I frequently feel either not hungry or else ravenous, nearly giddy at times or cranky and a bit down in the dumps. Bipolar Disorder…

• Not raw. Sorry. Distilled vinegar is not raw. Why don’t you get yourself some raw apple cider vinegar, mustard seed, turmeric, paprika, cloves and Himalayan or Celtic salt and try to make your own? You’ll probably like the taste even more! Go easy o…

  in Mustard.....RAW?? Comment by 1sweetpea
• If you’re unsure, why not give them a call and ask, nut type by nut type, whether they are truly raw (never heated above 118 degrees, be it in the shell or out)? I’m pretty sure that site is reliable. It’s been recommended by others as a good source…

• Borrowing from RawKidChef’s recipe ideas, why not stuff some pitted dates with it? Or, spread it on a raw bread or cracker and top with fresh fruits. Assuming the stuff still tastes fresh, you could also blend a tablespoon or two with water and the …

• OMG!!! You are positively glowing in the “after” photo! You look outstanding! Congrats! I lost approximately the same amount of weight as you 13 years ago and I felt like a new person. No joke. Of course, I was the same person inside, but with the n…

• Ras-saadon, maybe you should use a teaspoon or half a tablespoon next time and see if it tastes any less overpowering. Just a thought. Thanks lulushka8! You’ve reaffirmed my decision to splurge on the higher quality spirulina. There were 3 offered o…

  in Spirulina Powder Comment by 1sweetpea
• Does anyone notice any effects, both short term and long term? I just bought a bottle of very expensive Hawaiian spirulina. I haven’t tried it yet. Does it have a strong flavour? Will I have to mask it with other flavours?

• I’m in a similar boat. At home, I eat raw all day. My boyfriend isn’t raw and I do the cooking, so we compromise at dinner. Some dinners are raw, some are cooked, but still vegan and the rest are a combination, possibly with non vegan “extras” for h…

• Kwashiorkor is virtually nonexistent in developed societies, with the exception perhaps of refugee or concentration camps. It’s a disease seen more often in desperately poor countries that cannot produce the variety of foods necessary to feed its po…

• RawKidChef, why don’t you post this as a recipe? It would be great to see a photo of your finished product.

  in Raw potato chips: Does anyone have experience? Comment by 1sweetpea
• I thought so too. I used to sample raw potato when my mom was prepping them (as a kid), but she’d go berserk and tell me I’d get sick. I never did, but I never ate more than a nibble or two.

• Do you lay the olive oil-slicked veggies right on the dehydrating screens or could they be on a plate (less cleanup)? I read in another forum here that you can do this with asparagus as well. The recommendation was to trim off the woody ends, then s…

  in dehydrating to soften Comment by 1sweetpea
• Many restaurants will not allow you to bring your own food in and eat it. There are health board issues. When I was in high school, my friends and I often went out for lunch in a group. A few of the others had bagged lunches and no money in their po…

• Someone mentioned in another thread that they make sunflower seed or hemp milk using only 1.5 TB of seeds (sunflower seeds soaked overnight) and 3/4 cup or 1 cup of water. This might be an idea for you. You blend until smooth, then use. No straining…

  in How long does Almond milk keep in fridge? Comment by 1sweetpea
• Sorry. None of those items is raw. I have seen raw recipes for mustards that are similar to Dijon. You could try making your own. Brown rice vinegar is not raw and neither is Shoyu. Nama Shoyu is a better choice, but still is not technically raw. Yo…

• I’m a sucker for good quality balsamic vinegar. I haven’t been able to give it up, yet. A decent substitute might be made with lemon juice blended with a date, to give that sweet-tart taste. That, with a drizzle of Cold pressed extra virgin olive oi…

• No, it isn’t raw. The only raw vinegar I know of is Apple Cider Vinegar, but you’ll have to make sure you find one that is actually raw and organic. Bragg’s makes one, but there are other companies as well. Apple Cider Vinegar is a lot more intense …

  in sushi 'rice' idea Comment by 1sweetpea
• Cauliflower has a really high water content. I have been making couscous with it and it’s obviously much wetter than cooked couscous would be. I think it will work as “rice” for sushi rolls, but you will definitely have to line your raw nori (seawee…

• Thought of one more suggestion: avocado. You’re a runner, so I’m sure the added fats won’t be an issue. Keep it to half or less, if you want. It will thicken a smoothie, for sure.

  in Allergic to Bananas! Comment by 1sweetpea
• Annabelle77, my experience with allergies is that some are discovered early and hang around for life, while others develop at any time and may later disappear as your body develops defenses against them. 9 years ago, I had a summer that was so bad f…

• You might want to try some wake-up/sunrise yoga or T’ai Chi to get the blood circulating better. You should also look into acupuncture or shiatsu, in case something is preventing the blood flow from getting to your fingers. Is it possible that you’r…

• Bah!!! Cleary it was a mistake not to slice each cranberry in half. They are taking forever to dehydrate. The biggest ones are still wet, but the tiniest ones are overdried. Boo-hoo. Next time I’ll take the time to cut them in half, which will speed…
