• :~) Niiiiice! ("now my hair smells like a garden.") I've dropped the using Bronners shikakai rinse, as it was too greasy. But have been doing really well using the Dr Woods with shea, & sometimes using a bar "shampoo" by jrliggett.com. Both are …

• mmmorgans ~ ACV can indeed be found raw. Look on the label for "mother" included. AVC is simply fermented apple juice. Of course, the regular ACV is heated/pasteurized. But not all are. Eden brand makes one that is not.

• Hey sexyraw99, care to share the name of that "super natural, not garbage, eco-friendly shampoo"? I'd like to know! Lately, I have been using Dr woods tea tree castile soap with shea butter (they have one without shea too), followed by Dr Bronners S…

• "all the equipment and expensive powders and supplements are a bit scary." They are not necessary. Don't feel you need those to be raw. I did feel that coconut oil was very necessary for me, in transition. I substituted all oil, butter, etc, with co…

• I don't use sunscreen, so i can't help you there. But bug spray: I've used "Best Yet" (cedar oil and quartz) for over a year now, on my cat (I won't put "drop meds" on my cat, they are toxic!), for myself, and around the house. Great stuff. Check ar…

• For years the only thing I used it for was hummus, regular cooked type. Going raw, I've used it for other things, and I really don't care for it. It was "necessary" for real hummus, but now, ugh...nah, I have no use for it any more. I tried using up…

• Redmond Realsalt is not just a fine "replacement", it is a very good choice! It's my preferred salt. From their site (www.realsalt.com): "Long before the earth knew pollutants of any kind, a huge, ancient sea covered what is now North America. Pure,…

  in Sprouting - seeds turned moldy, what went wrong?? Comment by pixx
• Below 80 degrees would be better (and above 65. Preferably 70 to 80). Buckwheat needs to be rinsed often! Actually, all sprouts should be rinsed 2 to 3 (or even more, depending on temperatures and humidity) times a day. But you need to be religious …

• shortcake~ Why not try marinating something in apple vinegar, or lemon, or lime, and drying it? I have done kale chips in lemon juice and sprinkled sea salt, and it tasted very similar to vinegar chips to me- only not heavy like kettle chips, much m…

• Sorry, nope. To each his/her own. Lime and salt make it guac in my book. Cilantro is nasty in *anything*, to me. ;~)

  in Avocados Comment by pixx
• Myself, I wouldn't put them in a food processor to make guacamole. If they are over processed they brake down to a texture I am not fond of. Kind of like nuts turn oily when processed (into nut butter). I simply use a fork, or potato masher. I found…

  in Raw Honey ---does it have a honey comb in it? Comment by pixx
• "Raw honey has a very dark color while regular honey has a light color." Not accurate, sorry. I currently have several jars of raw honey in my cabinet- ranging from almost white, through a yellow tone to one that's darn near black. Take a look (I th…

• What about ordering online? That's where I get mine. I have tried several, from many different places. (and none of them have comb in it.) I'd offer links, but they are US. Try doing a search. :~)

• I've done the mango & tomato combo, too, but without the ACV. It's one of my favs. My other fav salad dressing is simply the juice of an orange, pulp included (but of course, that's not creamy). Thinkin' maybe you could throw the whole orange (p…

• Probiotics would make yogurt. I'm not real familiar with kefir...isn't it a bit different than yogurt?

• glamazon~ from what I've read (can't remember where- hopefully not this thread! lol~) introducing raw ACV will introduce mother of vinegar (of course!) but it is not the same bacteria as what you want for kombucha. I dunno, just passing on info.

• Thanks for the input Suasoria. I guess I really shouldn't bother then, because I don't need that much...would take me a month or more to use it. Plus having to find (or buy) a jar that large. FYI: I read at the below linked site that you should neve…
