• i’ve heard this: wet food can withstand higher temps without losing enzymes. start the dehydrator at 135 or 145 for a couple hours (depending on how wet the food is, shorter or longer). i usually do 1-3 hours, depending on what the food is. then, tu…

• ChelseaMM- great tip! I hope to purchase fewer raw desserts, and make my own instead. I buy all products in bulk with no packaging. I will soon be the proud owner of a worm composting kit, and i will waste nothing!

• i’ve heard lots of folks go on juice fasts that they really were successful at. Juice fasting can be done for lots of days, a long period of time. perhaps you want to water fast one day, then juice fast for several days? anyway, eating raw has helpe…

• deadline for input on the bill was december, 2007. on april 18, 2008 the bill went to committee. in other words, it’s too late to act – hopefully some raw vegans wrote the gov’t before it was too late. hopefully this bill isn’t passed. IF it is, the…

• juicy – i would look into acid/alkaline balance. for example, if someone was craving meat, they would need to have some apple cider vinegar or other acidic food so their pH is balanced. one excellent books is: Gabriel Cousens Counscious Eating. reme…

• if you buy organic sprouts, or sprout organic seeds/beans – they’re very safe. the company that produces them matters too – my local sprout companies are very trustworthy. the whole ‘food poisoning’ issue was completely blown out of proportion. almo…

• Rawrach and Stefunk – Wishing you all the best on your juicing! I’m sending words of encouragement your way. This is very inspiring to see others attempt it – i’m not ready, as I’m far too attached to my raw meals. But one day I hope to follow in yo…

  in First Juice Feast- Any joiners? Comment by Winona
• I haven’t done the master cleanse – i’ve heard about great success with juice feasting. That’s when you only drink juice (vegetable and fruit) for days (as long as you want). That way, you get all your vitamins/nutrients and have plenty of energy. I…

• I now eat all organic. I figure since I’m making so much of an effort to be healthy by eating raw, I’d better make sure I’m not ingesting any pesticides. I will no longer eat anything that’s not organic. I live in NY State, and I can purchase organi…

• Hi angie – i’ve been meaning to try your mayonnaise veggies! I want to try more desserts like the ones you posted – but for some reason, i am almost always in the mood for savory foods, not desserts. the cinnamon rolls sound worth a try.

• It’s a fantastic dressing. http://www.goneraw.com/recipes/3677-Sesame-Tahi… you can certainly make your tahini- you need a high speed blender probably. just blend sesame seeds, possibly with a little oil. i haven’t done it, so look more into exactly…

• LizK: fruit that comes in a can or plastic cup is not raw. It has been pasteurized (cooked) so that it can be stored on shelves without bacteria developing. I recommend freezing fruit. You can use frozen fruit in delicious smoothies. although some e…

• emmie21 – it’s a great idea to start adding raw foods, instead of taking away cooked foods. once I tried out some recipes on this site, over the period of a year, I eventually found that I had so many exciting raw recipes that I rarely bothered to c…

• Slosh-uh – you don’t change the calorie content by drying it. It always has the same amount of calories. However, you reduce the BULK by removing the water. so it’s easy to eat 20 dried apricots, but eating 20 fresh apricots could fill you up more e…
