• I hear the vita mix is excellent, and because it is so powerful you process the food for less time which means it won’t heat up. I have a old normal one and sometimes the food gets warm after I have been processing it for ages and ages, but never to…

• Hi Raven, To lose weight I think you need to be sure everything you are eating is raw, truly raw. As you can see there are many discussions here about what is raw and what is not. Here’s a link that might help: http://www.purelyraw.com/deadfoodlist.…

• Yes that’s the one I thought spirited mama wanted. I made it a few times and it is pretty good. I likes it dehydrated a loooong time so it was very crunchy, I had lost the recipe myself so, Thank you Shannon Marie for finding it and posting it.

• They are expensive but they are definately raw, if that kind of thing is of interest to you. Truly raw cashews are even more expensive than pine nuts.

  in Pine nuts?? Comment by Zoe
• From what I have heard, people don’t eat oranges, dates, bananas etc because these fruits have been so heavily hybrdised and over bred. And they say that many of these popular strains wouldn’t be abe to grow in the wild, they need chemical fertilize…

• Wild banana is dark coloured and has big black seeds in it, and I don’t think it is sweet. I eat oranges, dates, bananas all the baddies, I reckon that if need be, one day my body will say no to these things and I will change. I am going to let my b…

• Hi guys thanks for your comments on my last post, I appreciate them. Juleskess, Just to be clear, I’m not saying people should eat a high fat raw food diet, just that I don’t feel people who are 100% truly raw, should restrict themselves, or fuss wi…

  in Low Fat Raw Headaches? Comment by Zoe
• I often wonder why people try a restricted take/method of raw food eating without being 100% for a long enough time to fully detox, re awaken their intuitive eating urges, and just basically balance out on it. Each to their own I guess, I know every…
