• totally agree. it’s very sad they are getting such hype as a health food. this is totally political. it is one of the US’s biggest crops now, and one of the biggest GMO crops.

• i thought of something else. for inspiration on simple and delicious recipes (they are almost so simple, it’s more like food matching) i recommend a cookbook called “verdura” by viana laplace. it’s SENSATIONAL! it’s not raw or vegan, but most of the…

• hydrogen peroxide gargle, or straight chlorophyll gargle (green juice)... very healing for the mouth. as to why this is happening, i have read that it’s a sign of detox, but i forget why. this happened to me too.

• well great. thanks for the word of caution zoe. i bet many people don’t really know what raw means, or ever thought they should care. yes, it would be a lot of work… if you have any info about products you’ve found out the “raw truth” on, you can ju…

• if rawkid means coconut butter or pulp, you can pretty much use it like you would any fat. coconut pulp mixed with lemon juice and a little water, with some seasonings of your choice (i like thyme, basil) makes an awesome salad dressing. you can als…

  in Anyone wanna give up nuts with me? Comment by pianissima
• i think i actually gave them up without realizing it until you posted this. no big deal. i use sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds and avocado now. i’ll join you if you want some support.

• p.s for anyone trying to get REALLY raw and off nama shoyu, i used 2/3 (dehydrated) mushroom soak liquid to 1/3 seaweed soak liquid, blended it with sunflower seeds, a little water and a sliver of ginger. best asian sauce EVER!
