• Thanks, spiritedmama. :)

  in Storing raw agave nectar? Comment by raw_earth
• Such a cute idea! I wish they’d do something like that on Sesame Street or other shows for the kids, though I have heard the cookie monster (of all characters!) has been ‘advertising’ fruits and veggies lately. ;) There’s a really cute pic of him on…

• I have noticed that all over the place, but I think I’ll stick with regular mineral salt. Nama shoyu is said to be a raw version of soy sauce, but although it is a ‘living’ food since it’s fermented, technically the soy itself has been cooked even t…

  in Why is sea salt considered not raw? Comment by raw_earth
• As long as it’s low temp, sun dried sea salt (like Celtic), it should be raw. Personally though, I use Redmond’s RealSalt brand from the bulk section of my health food store for a couple dollars/lb because it’s natural, low-temp dried (though it’s f…

• Unless the package specifically says it’s raw, it’s probably not. I think the cheapest source I’ve found is Amazon.com for both raw cacao nibs and powder. (Do a search for ‘cacao’ rather than ‘cocoa’ since cocoa tends not to be raw.) I wish they wou…

  in Raw Cocoa? Comment by raw_earth
• Thanks, smidbrod. :) I’ve been to other forums where suggesting eating non-raw foods (and especially non-vegan foods, even honey) results in getting slammed by various members and often times getting your post deleted. So sometimes I’m a little hesi…

  in Transition Comment by raw_earth
• I think using enzymes are great to transition to raw when you’re eating cooked meals on a regular or semi-regular basis. They can pack a punch to your wallet though, depending on what kind you get and how many you take with the meal. I find the kind…

• I think because it’s starchy it might combine as a grain, but I’m definitely no expert!

• Thanks, coconutty! :)

  in making RAW tahini Comment by raw_earth
• Coconutty, do you soak the sesame seeds before blending in the VM or just grind them up dry? Do you add any water or oil? I just have a cheap-o blender but I might give it a try. Then again, maybe the coffee grinder would work better.

  in making RAW tahini Comment by raw_earth
• Actually, I just did this last night for the first time—BUT with young coconut meat instead of mature coconuts. You might be able to do the same thing if you can separate the meat from the shell. I put the young coconut meat in the food processor us…

• I posted this in another topic, so I hope you don’t mind my re-posting here. I basically drink a salad for breakfast (3-4 cups of green juice containing a head of celery, a few leaves each of kale and chard, a small bunch of parsley, and an apple). …

  in Typical daily diet? Comment by raw_earth
• Yes, raw oils and fats will definitely help your dry skin. I find that flax seeds and flax oil work best for me (taken internally) and give my skin more of a ‘glow.’ You can add the oil to smoothies or over salads—it has a pretty neutral taste so it…

• I have the 5 tray Excalibur and it works great, but it does use quite a lot of electric! If you’re only dehydrating for 1 or 2 people, I’d stay away from the 9 tray unless you want your electric bill to skyrocket. But if you’re ‘cooking’ for a bunch…

  in dehydrator question Comment by raw_earth
• Thanks, Lucy! :) I tend not to eat much until the afternoon either. I’ve never been much of a breakfast person, so juices work great to get me going without slowing me down. Raw omni means eating non-vegan/non-vegetarian foods in addition to fruits …

  in Juicing vs Blending Comment by raw_earth
• I would agree with pretty much everything the above posters said about the benefits of blending. However, your body is better able to assimilate nutrients more quickly and more directly from fresh juices (when you drink them on an empty stomach) tha…

• I eat raw goat cheese (occasionally raw cow’s milk cheese) and raw egg yolks, though I haven’t had eggs for a while. I blend the yolks with fresh oj or whole peeled oranges. It’s delicious! Sometimes I just eat them with a spoon. I’ve never had raw …

• Thanks for all that info, germin8! :)

  in can i store sprouted almonds? Comment by raw_earth
• I think they only store for about 2 or 3 days in the fridge, unless you dehydrate them so they will last longer. It is kind of a pain when you decide you want to use them and you need to wait 8 or more hours to soak! When I make seed/nutmilk, it usu…

• When in doubt, blame the internet. ;)

  in something has gone wrong? Comment by raw_earth
• I’ve definitely noticed a difference. The cooked stuff tends to go right through me, even when only steamed, but I have no problems digesting raw corn at all. (Strangely enough, I have the opposite problem with bell peppers. I can only digest them w…

• If I ever need to take antibiotics, I follow them up with a good pro-biotic. For colds and the like, raw ginger and raw garlic are fantastic. I use them in juices to cut the intensity of the taste. You dog is the sweetest thing ever, by the way! :)

  in Antibiotics Comment by raw_earth
• It often depends on what types of raw foods you are eating. Some lose more weight on 80-10-10 with high fruits and greens, and others can do that eating all the avocados and nuts they want. It all depends on how your body processes what you’re takin…

  in question about going raw Comment by raw_earth
• One of my absolute favorites is the raw brazil nut pancakes: http://www.goneraw.com/recipes/695-Raw-Brazil-N… The only thing I’d change about this recipe is cutting the dehydration time by about 2 hours. Leave them in for 10 hrs on the teflex and th…

• Thanks for the update, writeeternity. :) I was kind of confused about the whole situation.

  in Hello, and HELP!!! Comment by raw_earth
• blindguru, I’m not trying to be rude, but why are you posting on an explictly raw board if you are so anti-raw? Are you simply trying to ‘convert’ people to a non-raw lifestyle? This is hardly going to be your most receptive audience.
