• robin – it looks to me like they ARE dehydrated. what website was selling them fresh? “Tarazi Garbanzo Beans are pale yellow in color, are sold dehydrated, and shipped in a fifty five pound bag.” http://www.tarazifoods.com/store/home.php?cat=254

• RawKidChef – Do you have any evidence to back up your statements? ‘Nuts and grains are bad’ doesn’t provide concrete information, and isn’t terribly useful.

• It’s best to soak your grains and have them sprout a little. This way, the enzyme inhibitors are reduced – so you can actually digest them. Buckwheat are seeds, by the way, not grains.

• brawyn – i used to live in Atlanta. I tried HARD to make it work but i hated it with a passion. if you’re moving, think about living in Ithaca, NY. You’ll be 4 hours from NYC and Montreal, in case you need the city. But you’ll enjoy the woods in a p…

• pundee – what did you eat as SAD? I just don’t see how it was faster. Unless you bought ready made stuff. I typically ate food made from scratch, so it involved all that chopping and peeling produce, but then i had to take 1/2 hour to cook it too!

• rawflower you’re not alone! there’s no way i’d survive on 2 pieces of fruit and salad. Today I had a cantaloupe, 6 peaches, 2 tomatoes (in tabouli), 4 carrots, 1 1/2 cups cashews, 1/2 a watermelon, 1 head greens, 2 Tbsp dressing, 1/2 head of celery …

• I didn’t know that hulled sesame seeds are raw. Thanks for the information. I’m remembering that unhulled sesame seeds have more nutritional value, is that correct?

• Try to figure out what you’re craving. Sweet, salty, crunchy, fat, chunky, smoothy, chilled, savory? What do you really want? Then just find a raw snack that satisfies it!
