• dijon is pasteurized if it comes in a sealed container. but you can make your own, (grind mustard seeds and mix w/ vinegar?). raw honey is available, but again, it must say “raw” honey, if not, and it comes in regular containers at the store, not ra…

  in Newbie question about salad dressing Comment by Winona
• store bought salad dressings are not raw, because they’ve been pasteurized so that they’ll keep in bottles and not go bad. i’ve not found raw dressing at my food coop, and they’re good about carrying raw products. sooo…i doubt it. but… the good news…

• BLAARRRRGH. are you expected to contribute monetarily or by volunteer work in getting this food purchased/setup/prepared? because I COULDNT do it. i think it’s fine if you respectfully decline contributing to the day, and explain why. Perhaps you ca…

• Chris – I’m glad you mentioned the julienne peeler. I should buy one, and compare it to the world cuisine device. It does sound like the julienne peeler is easier to use and clean.

• yes sweet potatoes CAN be eaten raw, but yams are not. now, here’s the confusion: in the US, mostly only sweet potatoes are sold. but they’re CALLED yams sometimes. However, overseas, true yams are sold – and they’re NOT okay to eat raw. “Yams are n…

• zanna – glad to be of help! it’s supposed to be able to cut carrots, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, etc. i can’t wait to make my first pasta dish… zucaroni and cheese, anyone?

• Yeah – i’m with ya there, renoir. now i’m committed to buying only organic. i think the pesticides have been making me sick (digestive stuff) and this is the last straw. organic – or i won’t even bother.

• I was WONDERING why my prepacked organic baby carrots tasted strange. are they coated in something? hmm… i should check. YIPES!

  in Bad Tastes! Bad Ingredients! Comment by Winona
• I’ve had that experience – i tried some not raw salsa, and it was BAD news. tasted yuck. I’ve heard that combining non raw and raw ingredients is a recipe for disaster. Things just don’t come out well. I’ve had this happen before i went all raw. gro…

• Green smoothies helped to curb my hunger. even when i wasn’t hungry first thing in the morning, i had a green smoothie. Before i started this habit, i used to go without breakfast, then i’d need to gorge on food by 10 or 11. and at night i was eatin…

• I don’t use makeup except for a bit of cover up. But I don’t have anything nontoxic! Thanks for the suggestions everyone!!

  in Make-up Comment by Winona
• i agree with pianissima – blended as a dressing or sauce with veggies/herbs, then it’s fine. non-raw walnuts really did a number on my stomach. raw almond milk is okay though (i’m able to purchase raw almonds) i’ll try soaking and drying the truly r…

• Congrats on your garden! You’re lucky to have space for it. I’m moving this year, so I’m doing herbs/grasses in small pots to take to the next apartment. I really feel for you, not having access to organic farmer’s market produce. I don’t know how i…

• good point alix – now that i’m eating more conventional produce, i’m consuming far more chemicals. i should start eating raw – since I’m very fortunate, in that I CAN afford it.

  in Gone Organic - Why Eat organic? Comment by Winona
• Raw_Chocoholic – good to know. I was fed all conventional produce my entire life. I bet i have a million toxins in my body. I’ll probably read rainbow green too. That’s exactly what I’m wondering – is eating organic important at my age (23), or is i…
