• Here’s my tried and true technique. Soak ___ (whatever you’re soaking) in an airtight jar for the amount of time it needs. Most raw uncook books will have a soaking/sprouting chart. Put it in a plastic strainer. Put the strainer in another bowl, put…

• Sabriya, I had the unfortunate opportunity to consume one of these this summer in VA. It was not good at all. It’s actually a GMO and I wouldn’t have bought it had there been other avos at the store I went. I hope your experience is better:)

• Hi Rawspring, Just wanted to let you know you are not alone in questioning raw foodism! Its so healthy to have critical thinking skills and not just do something because others say “its good for you.” If you do the research and it feels good in your…

• Spiritedmama, Boutenko stressed getting your greens in. Greens should almost be considered another food group in and of themselves, away from vegetables and fruit. Greens should really be the basis for a raw food diet. She said she sips on blended g…

• Hi Electra, This is so relative, you ask a room full of 50 raw foodists what does 90% raw food mean you’ll get 50 answers. I used to say I was a 95% vegan raw foodist, because to the best of my knowledge most the food was raw, because I use “controv…

• Your right Chris, I was vegetarian. I started to qualify the type of vegetarian I was, but then changed my mind. I guess, my overall question is whether 600 calories/day raw food is sufficient either?
