  in Grinding Flaxseeds Comment by springleaf
• Flax seeds are tough little guys… If you want them just a bit smashed up then a blender would be ok, but if you want them properly ground then I would use a coffee grinder – maybe a vitamix would get them properly ground up but I don’t know cus I do…

• Like others above I also use hemp seeds and sprouts, a good big handfull of mung bean sprouts on your salad is a very easy way to up the protein content and they taste like peas fresh from the pod in your garden too, – yum! hemp seeds made into milk…

  in Cholesterol too low danger? Comment by springleaf
• Read the China study, I can’t remember numbers off the top of my head, but when they measures cholesterol levels in rural chinese they were about 50 i think. His opinion is that the lower the level the better and is only western doctors who are so u…

• Chris reminded me, the flax seeds I used were always well soaked, usually for about and hour whilst I did other stuff, I never ground them, but that makes good sense as it would open up their tough, shiney little shells for you :-) I never had probs…

  in trouble digesting raw bread Comment by springleaf
• I have trouble digesting raw onion anyway… But when I had a dehydrator I used to make a flax and carrot/sweetpotato craker that was mostly shredded veg. If you make the shreds nice and long (maybe with a spiraliser, but I never thought of trying tha…

• Sweetpea, appart from the fact I never eat fish, this is how I operate. My bf is getting a little more into the raw way of thinking but will never want to “go raw” completly for every meal and I can’t and don’t want to force him. “you can lead a boy…

• Chicory: luckily in england lots of the salads also come as a vegi option – without chicken, for a couple of pounds cheeper. This seens fair to me. Could you ask for something instead of the chicken/meat like a juice or something? I also go for the …
