• I ate sprouted quinoa in the past few days. It gave me too much gas and I really didn't care for the taste. I think I would rather eat cooked quinoa, sprouted buckwheat oatmeal or sprouted lentils.

• I'm very short, so I eat only around 1200 calories per day. If I eat half an avocado or a handful of nuts, that will bring my fat intake to 17 - 18% of my total calories, so I stick to this rule (either half an avocado or some nuts per day).

• Hi okra, I have both shun and global and have found that shun's quality is much better. The craftmanship is just superb. I used to have wuthof too, but among these three, I would highly recommend shun. It makes chopping vegetables a fun activity.
