• What a great idea for a thread!I’ve got a couple… Pineapple, pull the leaves out, if they come off easily in your hand, the ones in the center of the top bit then it is ripe. The easier the leaves come out the riper it is. Sharon fruit – persimmon s…

• An idea for a sure thing for dessert is my walnut cake. Every one I have made it for – maybe 100 people? have gone crazy for it. Also it is very easy peasy to make so you won’t feel at all stressed. Kids love it too here it is: goneraw.com/recipes/5…

• I found it hard to be raw when we went to California to get married a couple of years ago. You see here in the UK vegan food is dire, really, really bad. Just awful fake meat rubbish and ugh soya cheeze, nothing ready made that is edible really. And…

• The cheese recipe we use at Purely Raw is amazing. We sell more of it than anything else, and when we make it in class everyone really pigs out on it! It always wows people, they always say they can’t believe it is not dairy! It looks simple but bel…

• maes me wonder if even heating doesn’t remove all the toxin, then how the heck do the people producing the really raw ones get rid of it?

• They are only raw if you buy the very very expensive ones from a raw food website. The ones from natures first law can be sprouted – it says on their website they have a photo of a sprouted one. All the others are extracted using heat/steam. Althoug…

• My first tip would be to make sure your price cover your costs!! Giving raw food classes is the best thing ever. I have loved every single class we have given over the last year. The people we meet are the most wonderful amazing people from all walk…

• Ha Ha me too, I just switched to ASDA! I think their veggies are far higher quality they seem fresher too, they get things more locally than Tescos.

• If I were you I’d return it to the shop and get a refund. Sounds like it has gone off. It needs to be kept in the fridge. If they had it out on a counter then it is their fault it went off…

• Just a thought, are you sure your flax seed oil was ok? It goes off really, really easily. Maybe if you tried it using olive oil or coconut oil you may have more success? The recipes on goneraw are great, but there is always much to be learned and e…

• It is common to lose weight in the first year of going raw. Toxins are stored in body fat and as your body cleans itself the toxin filled fat has to go. It is common for weight to balance out after the first year. I lost a lot of weight in my first …
