• Aww, that’s so cool. I wonder if they were Bing cherries? I’ve heard those are really sweet.

• Oh man, this topic is making me get all excited about getting a dehydrator in September. I can’t wait. SIGH

• How do you make sun tea? do you soak fresh leaves (like peppermint) in the sun for 8 hours or do you soak actual tea bags?

• I felt the same way when I first started eating raw!! it was like I was ALWAYS in the kitchen, for HOURS, and the time it took to make the recipes was like five times as long as it took to eat them! And then my family started wanting to try the stuf…

• wow, I’ve been wanting to get black sesame tahini. I can only find the white kind, and I LOVE it. I can’t wait till I try black sesame… is it better in sweet or savory dishes?

• Angie, thanks for the info! It’s good to know I can keep using Madhava agave nectar, because the blue agave syrup is way too expensive, like two dollars more. :D

• I’ve been wondering about that too. I’ve read a little about soaking the tea bags overnight instead of heating them, or soaking them outside on a sunny day for 8 hours. I’ve also heard of doing the same thing with actual fresh herbs, like mint leave…

• Yeah, I’ve never been able to find raw olives. They only have the canned ones with added salt and preservatives. :/ I bet the only way to get them raw is right off the tree.

• Yeah, I was sad when I found that out about nuts and seeds, especially since I’d been eating them for a while. I don’t really eat nuts anymore except for walnuts, occasionally, and Maranatha raw sesame tahini. Let’s Do Organic has some good shredded…

• Nope, I don’t. I do take bee pollen, though, because it’s high in protein and has B12.

• Make sure it looks AND tastes good. One thing I’ve learned about bringing raw food to events is if it doesn’t look appetizing, nobody’s going to want to try it. :( If you have a dehydrator, maybe you could make some yummy sweet breads with flax, spr…

• Well, some people say it has lots of minerals and vitamins, and I’ve been using it on the master cleanse. I’m going to substitute it with Blue Agave Nectar because the maple syrup is actually making me GAIN weight, and it’s not even raw anyway.

  in What is the Deal with Maple Syrup? Comment by rachel_akiko
• I’d get one with at least 5 trays. Actually, I want to save up for the nine tray one, because I know if I get the five tray I’ll still be wanting more trays, so I might as well spend the money on the bigger one. If you don’t think you’ll need that m…

• angie, I know what you mean about naturally gravitating to pine nuts, because I was wanting those a lot even though I wasn’t sure whether they were raw or not. Yay! I love pine nuts, so I’m glad I can still eat them without expensive online ordering…

• Sweet! It sounds nice, but that’s not really my style of music. I like fast and loud stuff. I’d probably love it if I liked folk, though. :P

• Well, I think it depends on your metabolism. It sounds like you have a pretty fast one if you can eat lots of nuts and not gain weight, but if I eat too many nuts I put on a couple of pounds. I don’t think avocados would do anything bad, though. The…

• Well, we have the Jack Lalanne juicer, but one thing that kind of sucks about it is that you have to drink the juice right away, and if you wait even a few hours, it oxidizes really fast and tastes gross. Other than that, it’s pretty good.

• Nope. Even if it wasn’t pasteurized, it would be nowhere near as good as fresh coconut water, because it oxidizes really fast.
