• I just cut it in half and cleaned most of the slimy stuff off. Then I cut it like cantelope into wedges. Next I cleaned it better and cut off the skin. I cut it thin and put in the dehydrator. It was still wet before bed so I let it dehydrate overni…

• I am so sorry you went through this. Those women should not be talking about healthy eating since they eat poorly by even non-raw health standards. I don’t think you can win a fight with them since they don’t listen. I have met people like this when…

• I just bought raw cocao from Wilderness Family Naturals for $19.95. They state that the temperature is never over 120 degrees and usually 104 degrees. This may be borderline but I am not 100%. I noticed the flavor is different from the raw cocao I g…
