  • Welcome! If you’re lucky enough to live in Arizona, I hope you’re going to take advantage of the Raw Spirit Festival in Sedona! I haven’t been raw for very long, but I’ve been vegan for four years. For me, focusing on the ethics of veganism is the b…
  • I agree with you pianissima. I try to buy locally whenEVER possible, even if that means not getting 100% organic produce. I get as much as I can from the few that say they are certified (but how do I really know they are? I just take their word for …
  • I started out making almond milk, but didn’t like dealing with all the almond pulp left over, so I’ve switched to hemp milk, and it’s wonderful! Less pulp, and very tasty, plus it’s got lots of essential fats.

  • Is it because wine is alcoholic, it that why you’re worried? I don’t know if balsamic vinegar is raw, but it doesn’t have alcohol. The alcohol is converted into acetic acid, which is what makes it vinegar. It may have trace amounts, but nothing to w…

  • hm, I wonder if the almonds I buy from my local seller are pasteurized… I’ll have to ask him at the next farmer’s market.

  • how odd, I eat oat groats almost every day for breakfast, but I eat the steel cut oats, which are raw groats that are cut into small pieces. Maybe the whole groats have some sort of skin on them that tastes bad? Why don’t you try steel cut oats, I f…
  • I just looked into this online and found that domestic (sweet) almonds do not have the toxin, only wild (bitter) almonds do. So I don’t think you have to worry. :)

  • I have adult acne, right now it’s on my back, and I’ve mostly cleared it up with Lotus Moon Blemish Control Gel (natural and vegan), but I’m going to try the water cure that lzhpt recommends for the last stubborn red spots that JUST WON’T GO AWAY! :…

  • I went to a raw food mini-lecture last year and the speaker brought in kale chips and sunflower seed dip and the class went crazy for them! The kale chips were whole leaves with oil and spices and dehydrated, but he didn’t give us the recipe!!! So w…
  • Soup in the coffee maker, LOL! OMG yum, sweetpea, that soup sounds so good. I might have to try that tonight! To be careful about keeping everything raw, you could even take the temp of your hot water before adding it, if you have a kitchen thermome…

  • So far I’ve been over 75% raw for a month and I haven’t touched a smoothie, hardly had juice, and barely touched salad. For breakfast I soak steel cut oat groats in water for about 20 minutes, mix in fruit, agave nectar, and nuts, lunches I’ve been …
  • I saw this a little while ago and it really hit home. Now, when I do buy something, I’ve been trying to buy used as much as I can.
  • Sweet brown rice does not actually contain gluten. The term “glutinous” is referring to it’s stickiness, caused by starch, rather than protein like gluten. Check out the wiki page if you’re interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutinous_rice
  • I think it’s wonderful you want to make this change, for yourself and for animals! But I suggest you take it slow, too much too fast often overwhelms people, causing them to get frustrated and give up. Only take on as much as you feel you can handle…
  • I have read that some believe miso and seaweed have B12, but I have read a lot about B12 and the consensus is that there is no reliable source of B12 for vegans. It is believed that the great apes get their B12 from insects (either eaten on purpose …

  • I’ve planted my first garden this spring, but I’m still waiting for my first harvest. I’m using containers, I found most of my info on the web, just do a search for “container vegetable garden” and go from there. A good website I found was http://ww…
  • For those with nut problems, maybe varying the type of nuts you eat will help. Not only can it get boring to only eat almonds all day, but it’s doubtless not as good for your tummy to only feed it a monoculture of nuts. I pack myself a lunch for wor…
  • If you don’t want to drink coffee, why not tea? Herbal, if you’re avoiding caffeine. If you want to be really strict about your “rawness” you could make tea with warm water.
  • There’s a whata whata WHAT in Ojai I live in Santa Barbara, it is near Ojai, and yes, that’s in Southern CA. I have never heard of this raw vegan village… I just googled it, and can’t find anything except something from 2007 calling it a spa. So, I’…
  • Wild rice can be raw, but it will be green, not black. I bought some from Eden Organics online and it smells like green tea, it’s great!

  • I’ve just started oil pulling today, attracted by the prospect of whiter teeth. Whether it works for other ailments, I am skeptical. What oil pulling is: you swish 1 Tbs oil around in your mouth and through your teeth for 15-20 minutes until it beco…
