  • I have been trying to find a good raw biscotti recipe with a texture similar to the real one. That would be an interesting experiment!
  • samilicious, i have no idea (sorry!). i don’t do the sprouting in the case of purple kale, i buy them from a lovely woman at the farmers market near my house.
  • mung bean, lentil, and purple kale!
  • I disagree respectfully with Justine. For example, the veganism of honey is arguable. I consider it a vegan food because it was never actually a part of the bee’s body, just like bee pollen. Also, although I cannot make a meal out of olive oil, I c…
  • you can experiment, but generally, the bases for all my raw burgers are walnuts, portabello mushrooms, and sundried tomatoes. I combine these three ingredients wiht various seasonings, such as dashes of nama shoyu, salt, and whatever spices I am in …

  • ooh yum both of those sound so good! i’m going to try the second one (because i have the ingredients) with buckwheat instead of wheat berries and maybe some flax. thanks for posting!
  • i would look into gabriel cousens work.

  • sweet potato spiralized and soaked in water for an hour or two (to remove some of the unpleasant starchy flavor) with tomato sauce makes a delicious pasta substitute. also kelp noodles, if you can find them, are supposed to be very good (i’ve never …
  • when i have the time, i coat my zucchini pasta with olive oil and salt and let it sit in a colander over a bowl for about an hour and a half. it really gives it a great flavour, and dont worry about the salt, most of it comes right out and will be s…
  • I also LOVE salads, but I’m not a fan of greens (which I get through my green smoothies) so often I’ll use sprouts or soaked buckwheat as a salad base, and my basic additions are always cucumber, tomato, and avocado. Honestly, people ask if the raw…
  • drink PLENTY of water, its lack of water that makes you retain, not an excess of it.
  • If the pain doesn’t subside very soon, I would contact a medical professional. Never try to self-diagnose serious medical symptoms.
  • I would say that unless you are diabetic or underweight, a short term (i.e. few day-a week) juice fast is perfectly safe. However, anything longer or more extreme should be supervised by a medical professional. This could be an open minded MD or ND.…

  • some very cost effective raw staples are buckwheat groats (makes a FABULOUS salad base soaked), sprouts, and seeds. also, you can reserve buying organic for very thin skinned fruits and veggies, leaving your avocados, bananas, and pineapple conventi…
  • personally, i reserve raw cacao for very special occasions, as it tends to make me anxious and also prevents me from sleeping through the night. however, it is a very powerful antioxidant cocktail, so if you dont have a bad reaction to it, id say no…

  • i don’t experiment with raw dairy cheese because of the riskiness of it. however, raw vegan cheezes with nuts or seeds or coconut meat as the base, epecially those made with probiotic powder, can be very realistic. check out ani phyo’s book for some…
  • freezing does not in any way chemically change or denature molecules the way heating does, it simply slows down the movement of particles. so no, enzymes (or anything else for that matter) won’t denature when frozen. that being said, many will argu…
  • don’t let your sadness turn into apathy, let it turn into energy for fighting something you don’t like about the world!
  • purple coconut inside=bad throw it out
  • i bought cyanocobalamin

  • I used to suffer from chronic insomnia, (literally since I was 4 years old), and nothing helped. Sleeping pills only seemed to make me hyperactive. After 3 months raw, I started to sleep through the night. After just under a year now, I have not ha…
  • definitely, definitely it exists. i suffered with it myself (probably stemmed from my already existent extremist nature). i think i took care of it mostly by stepping back from 100% raw, having a few drinks with friends occasionally, having some coo…
  • although you should feel good about eating raw, overeating any kind of food is definitely not good for you (raw or not).
    in over eating? Comment by elizabethh
  • evildarkvirus, thanks and thats exactly what i read, but im confused about whether buckwheat “greens” mean the little white sprouts or the full grown grass.
  • The spiciest part of the garlic (and that part that I have trouble digesting, so always remove) is the little vein on the inside. I would cut the garlic in half, and simply pluck out the vein.
  • Bananas are not evil, but I try to limit their consumption because I eat a low glycemic raw diet, for the reason that I am a student stuck at a desk for the majority of the day, and I can’t have my blood sugar going crazy. I believe the raw diet sho…
  • noo problem, glad its back up! thanks=)

  • i’ve never experienced or heard about that. in fact, my hair smells pretty darn good.
