• Hi Rawkidchef and (blueberry), I went to look on sunfood.com couldn’t find any unfermented cacao, have you got a link to it? Evergreen I really liked that website, but I couldn’t see where it sold unfermented beans. Thanks for the link.

• I would Love to research it but I can’t find any unfermented beans. They should be purple inside and soft. Been looking for a few years on and off for them.

• I have heard it said that Raw caffeine balances the adrenals and is good for us. Everyone knows that cooked caffeine puts adrenals out of balance and isn’t good for us. I get jittery and wired on cacao, and exhausted. I checked it out and it is reac…

• Dodo, I have found that things often taste better when they’ve been left for a few days, or even a week! As long as there’s no mould or funny smell I usually eat it.

• I have been making delicious cheese for 4 years now, and never used rejuvalac, or any fermenting process, just lemons, salt, oil and nuts and / or seeds. I could never make any rejuvalac that smelt or tasted like anything I wanted to eat!! Click on …

• I went to Florida years ago. I was camping and I set my tent up right on top of a fire ant hill! In the morning I woke up to a tent full of them and I was covered in bites. Wish I knew about the coffee trick, or even about the ants for that matter, …

• I just blend berries and dates to make jam. The dates help it to thicken up. Your weight will sort itself out if you stay raw. kminty3 – it does go hard when you dehydrate it all the way. You can moisten it by spraying water onto it out o a garden s…

• Hi Branwyn you asked me where I lived, I live in Newton Le Willows which is in between Liverpool and Manchester. In the North West of England. A great place to live actually ;) But we’ll soon be leaving for good to Virginia USA.

• Try my cheese and bread, click on my profile, and there is a thread about the cheese somewhere. Yes it is so good someone started a thread about it! I have a bread recipe on there called ‘Zoe’s Bread’. It uses sprouted wheat, it might be what you ne…

• Buckwheat is much lighter and less oily, so you might want to add extra oil to the recipe if you go down the buckwheat route.

• You know, flax goes rancid very easily, could it be that you had a bad batch of seeds? You could use buckwheat too…it has the gluey thing going on with it that flax does, so it will help the bread to stick together and not crumble. Click on my profi…

• Chris and I have quit nuts. So we now we always make the cheese with all sunflower seeds, and no pine nuts. Me and Chris think it tastes better like that too. It makes it very cheap ;)

  in Zoe's Spring Onion Cheese Comment by Zoe
• Wow, thanks everyone. Yup that cheese does deserve it’s own thread! I only posted it, my husband Chris is the inventor of it. He worked on it for about 1 1/2 years till he got it down. Caleb lasts for about 2-3 weeks. The oil and salt preserve it re…

• I’d say still give it some time. Have you heard about the body’s ‘starvation mode’? If you have fasted then your body may go into starvation mode and hold on to the food you eat following the fast, meaning that you gain weight. Once your body relaxe…

• yes I find that nama shoyu or tamari makes recipes taste too salty. Without it you can make more delicately and freshly flavoured raw food.

• you can try. How successful it is depends on what type of oven you have.If it has a fan then put it on, if it doesn’t, get one and blow it into the open oven, it needs air to help it dry instead of going mouldy.

• Hi there, I have heard so many people tell me that they were cured of the “ADD” because of raw food, and also other “alternative” therapies. You’re great to disregard this label that has been put on you. Just let it go, that isn’t who you are. The m…
