• Well, not so much the grocery store for me, but my college cafeteria. While students load up on a tray with pasta, pizza, and other stuff, I drop like 6 bananas at the counter to pay for my meal. And almost every time (it never fails) the cashier gi…

• I had this same problem. I couldn't eat food at vegan parties cause everything was cooked, and the one time I went to a raw restaurant, everything had salt and agave in it (these things I don't eat). So, I ended up getting a gross casserole thingie …

• Wow, that is a bummer. My dorms are so great because we have like 3 kitchens and one right across from my room (which is hardly used except by me). We are allowed dehydrators, blenders, food processors, etc. No hot plates though, but that doesn’t bo…

• Mine always smells nice and yeasty sweet. Kind of reminds me of the nutritional yeast smell. Okay, so, here’s what I do: 1) Pour about a cup of brown rice into a sprouting jar. 2) Rinse with clean water. Then pour fresh water back in about 3 times a…

• Hey, you know, if you want that poi/taro taste, blend cashews with rejuvelac water (recipe on this site) and let it sit for a while in the fridge and eventually you will get this sweet but tangy kind of taste that really tastes like poi to me. That …

• Omigosh! It sounds like I wrote everything you said! I know exactly where you’re coming from. I’ve been on and off raw for 5 months. Now, it’s my second week totally raw (without breaking) just like you, and yeah…I’m always hungry. So, I figured I w…

• Hey MellieVeggie! Haha, you know that rawsagna picture is not truly raw. When I first went “raw”, I just threw together a bunch of ingredients and I don’t really remember what I did. Well, if you’d like to use the semi-raw recipe and maybe spice it …

• I do have chia seeds, but I don’t know if they’re raw or not. And I don’t know how to listen to my body! That’s the problem! I’m sort of recovering from a malnourished diet, and I can’t tell when I’m full. I saw the raw oats, but it’s so expensive! …

• I’m having issues with raw too. It’s weird though. Every time I get fed up and start eating cooked food, I just come back to raw…I forget the problems and look forward to it. Then, like a day or two in, I remember why I left in the first place. Spen…

• How do you age your own cheese? Do you leave it in the fridge? Cause I tried to leave it out for a couple days (in a container) but it got moldy. Are you supposed to place it in a container in the fridge? Or a cheesecloth in the fridge? Or a cheesec…

• I’ve tried this. It was decent, but I found it way too salty and every time I ate it, I started sweating for some reason. I paid $15 for 1 aged cashew cheese, and it came in the mail in this huge box, and I was so excited. I searched through the box…

• Oh yeah, I know exactly what you are talking about. The first time I bought oat groats, I soaked them overnight and ate them in the morning, and they were God awful! They burned my throat and had a sickening, musty, old, taste. YUCK! Well, for a whi…
