• Like Morning_theft, I don’t like it combined into smoothies. I just like it plain from the spoon.

• Gosh, I eat quite a bit of the sprouts too. My favorite sprouts! I’d love to see the reply.

  in buckwheat sprout toxicity? Comment by Carmentina
• Everything I’ve ever read is that it potentiates the nutritional value, turning normal food into superfood. Plus sprouting is cheap and allows you to become a kitchen gardner. Check out sproutpeople.com. Buckwheat is my favorite one – I use it as a …

• Morning_theft, my sister lives in Hawaii, and banana trees often pop up spontaneously in her yard, grow, give fruit, then die. Of course these are the “wild” variety, but I assure you they’re delicious! I think the main issue with eating a lot of ba…

• Still ok! About 5 hours after ingesting it. I thought it might be like wheatgrass. I read Why Suffer by Ann Wigmore (the free e-copy that was circulated a couple weeks ago) and it said that no grasses are poisonous. I do seem to have a bit of wind ……

  in River grass - edible? Comment by Carmentina
• I didn’t get any replies, but just in case anyone’s curious, I made a delicious smoothie with the riverside grass and as of yet no signs of bodily rejection. To the contrary – what a buzz! I suppose it could be a slow death by intoxication. Who know…

• Another way to save $ is by eating vegetable parts that we stupidly discard, like carrot and radish tops. Whenever I have “tops” on some veg, I Google it to see if the they’re edible. Google: “carrot tops edible.” We’re so wasteful.

• I always buy walnuts in the shell. I just crack them over conversation or while watching TV. It doesn’t take long at all once you get used to it. I would think pumpkin seeds might be stronger, so maybe less than the walnut amount. Where I live you c…

• I think almond meal is just ground up almonds. You can use your Vitamix or food processor or even a coffee grinder (although be careful not to over process, as nuts start to get oily). Almond flour, on the other hand, will be skinless, meaning it wa…

• Distilled water shouldn’t be drunk for too long cuz it’s depleted of necessary minerals. It might be good if you have kidney stones, I would think, but only for a while. You need those minerals. Reverse osmosis filtered water is the best, I think. M…

  in Fabric for Nut Mylk Bags? Comment by Carmentina
• My mother in law made mine – she’s a seamstress. I bought some fabric at the hardware store – a type of cloth screening for windows…I know that seems odd, but I washed it and had her make about 10 bags for just a couple dollars.

• I’d say the best way to start is one meal at a time. Breakfast is easiest. If you start off with a raw breakfast, that’s one third of the way through the day and a great start. Chop up some apples, sprinkle on raisins, nuts etc. You could also add i…

• Here’s the most recent thread http://www.goneraw.com/forums/6/topics/1837 Hope it’s some help. I tried the salt cleanse 3 times last week and it’s definitely energizing. Just make sure you’re at home near the porcelain throne for a couple hours!!

  in Salt cleanse and liver cleanse? Comment by Carmentina
• I read somewhere that in order to get all the enzymes, vitamines, and minerals you have to drink it within 10-15 minutes. I would recommend saving the frozen fruit for making ice-cream treats (when you can snuggle up under a warm blanket!). I also l…

• There are also other colon cleanses you can read about in this forum like salt cleanses. Apparently it does the whole intestine, not just the bottom part.

• Here’s a fun idea that’s common here in Italy: stuffed zucchini! Carve out the inside and stuff it with some nice pesto. Maybe you should dehydrate it a while to soften it before stuffing.

• Check out SproutPeople.com. It’s got great info on sprouting. Just search the food you want to sprout and it’ll have soaking and sprouting times. One recommendation of mine, keep millet sprouts small. They get bitter and gross if you let them oversp…

• Randall, so sorry about the health issues. It reminds me of a friend who was having a similar problem (the frequent defication) until she got a colonoscopy and a polyp was found. I read everything you wrote, but I didn’t see if you had one done (sor…

• I admit to eating the odd egg, but I get them from one of my friends. Everyone here in Italy keeps hens (I live in a rural town) and most are free ranging. Not factory farmed and kept with 24/7 lightbulbs. Vegetable gardens are also everywhere, so I…

• You can make juices with a blender. Just blend up the veggies or fruit with a little water (if necessary), then squeeze it through a nut bag, just as you would almond milk.

• I buy chicken, duck, beef – you name it. But my cat just refuses to eat a piece whole, so I chop it up small or even grind it, then make balls of it and freeze it. Everyday I take out a ball of raw meat, let it defrost, and she devours it.

• Hi there. I’ve been sprouting for a couple years now, and I definitely agree with IsisDC that the SproutPeople website is great. Everytime I do a different sprout, I search it on their website. Some sprouts, like Quinoa and Amaranth, can get really …

• Almonds get tiny little sprouts that are barely visible. Some one on this website wrote that they soaked their almonds for 4 or 5 days, changing the water 3 times daily, so I gave it a try. By the second day they sprout, and by the 4th day they star…
