• If the almonds are completely dry when they're frozen, they're still "alive." I've kept seeds in my freezer that I later successfully grew into plants. I would have no qualms about buying almonds that had been frozen. However, if you soak seeds or n…

• I find that marinating or pickling helps greatly with hard-to-digest vegetables like broccoli. As for nuts, I generally don't have a hard time digesting them, but I do need to be kind of careful about food combining. However, if I make, say, a cashe…

• I think ACV is healthy, and having maybe up to 1/3 cup (as I'm guessing you're having) diluted in water throughout the day shouldn't do you any harm--except perhaps to your tooth enamel, so be sure to rinse your mouth with water after drinking your …

• I wish you the best of luck! Eating raw vegan is great, but be sure to listen to the advice of your naturopath over that of well-meaning laypeople, if it comes down to it. And though I'm not sure what the percentages are, you can be too alkaline. Ag…

• obviously fish can be eaten raw, but it is not vegan, which, as emtpdmom so eloquently stated, is one of the criteria for recipes (and topics) discussed on this board. I'm sure you can find other people who enjoy eating fish elsewhere on the web. Ho…

• You can also cut up the peels and store in a jar of honey for a tasty snack. I bet agave would work too, but you'd probably want to keep it refrigerated.

• My understanding is that people who are allergic to tree nuts can still eat seeds, though I am definitely not an expert. Your doctor/allergist should have some advice for you in this area. As for being raw vegan without nuts (or possibly seeds)--jus…

• Here's a source in the US for (golden?) seeded raisins: http://www.livingtreecommunity.com/store2/product.asp?id=153&catid=18 I'm sure if you chew the seeds you'll be getting at least some of their magic. And I bet cutting grapes in half would h…

• I think you're talking about cellophane--made from plants, and biodegradable. You can seal it with heat. I don't know of any packaging that would be recyclable and appropriate for bars, though. An online search should help you find a supplier.

• I second beany beegan--it sounds like an allergy to me. Reducing the number of ingredients is a great way to help identify the problem. I'm gluten intolerant, and I have found that I can become sensitive to certain foods if I overdo them--though thi…

• You can sometimes get soy-free miso tamari from South River Miso (www.southrivermiso.com). There are several flavors, and they only have one flavor available at a time, when they have it in stock. It's also a living food, unlike Bragg's. However, it…

• Cayenne pepper in water works wonders for me. Make it as strong as you can stand--but not on an empty stomach, or it will hurt (but not cause real harm). Personally I find green tea (or anything with caffeine) makes my allergies worse, but ymmv.

• If you can afford it, Marmoleum is great. It's natural, non-toxic, and can be installed on top of concrete. I have red in my kitchen and it's great. Definitely warmer on the feet than ceramic, and less likely to break things that fall on top of it.
