• Haha, Joanna, I am also OCD about the white pith. It's nasty. Since I don't have the patience, my technique is cut them into quarters (leaving the peel on) and just bite/suck the juiciness out of it.

  in Best way to eat an orange Comment by Suasoria
• I don't know, but I love 'em too. I wonder what the warning is? Is it like carrots, you'll turn orange (but there's nothing actually wrong with being orange if it's from carrots and not jaundice...)

• Neither sells raw nori in my area. (Note that all WFs have different buyers, so if there's a giant raw food community where you are, they might). I also get supplies and staples online. It's much cheaper. There is a thread with good internet storefr…

  in Trader Joe's Whole Foods.. to find raw Nori? Comment by Suasoria
• Agree with V2R - they are sold in the refrigerated section at my WF, so I keep them refrigerated.

  in Kelp Noodle Smell Comment by Suasoria
• Not counting at least one good knife...blender and spiralizer are the top two that get used around here. Much further down, food processor (easy to find at garage sales etc.) Then coffee grinder, then dehydrator. New favorite is the mandoline :)

  in used unwanted kitchen tools Comment by Suasoria
• Congrats on the move! Have you checked Craigslist or Freecycle in your area? I occasionally see posts on Craigslist by people giving away kitchen stuff (among other things) because they're moving to Paris or Abu Dhabi and need to get rid of everythi…

• It is not a raw food, so my guess is not very many people here eat it. Here are my personal opinions on soy. They may or may not be facts: Soy is a great food with some awesome health benefits if you're not into cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, …

  in Tofu? Comment by Suasoria
• Megan - y'welcome. That was indeed the reason I posted it, because it has some good ideas/info you could adapt for your own purposes - not to push the product itself. Sorry if that wasn't clear, Zin.

  in Raising a raw child. question. Comment by Suasoria
• Six months is generally regarded as safe to start fruit and vegetable juices. I like this company http://www.firstjuice.com/ It's packaged/pasteurized but there is some good general info. They use carrots (orange or purple) with fruit.

• Since I just made a batch of the cashew cheese with probiotics and rejuvelac, my husband has a request for a "fancier," more elegant cracker to go with cheese - a la Carr's water crackers, or poppy seed, that sort of thing. Almond meal a plus - I ha…

  in Hello! Taking Recipe Requests Comment by Suasoria
• Having read an article in the LA Times today on the book "Anticancer: A New Way of Life," I'm more disgruntled about this study than I was yesterday. There's no money to be made in eating well for health, so large-scale studies like this don't usual…

  in Opportunity to Participate in Cancer Research Comment by Suasoria
• What a fantastic suggestion. My husband and I should totally do this.

  in Opportunity to Participate in Cancer Research Comment by Suasoria
• Planning is fine, but be flexible too. Honestly if you aren't in the habit of getting your produce at the farmers' market, that's the best place to do your meal planning. You'll be getting the best, freshest, seasonally appropriate locally grown ing…

  in Raw Food Menus and Rotation Comment by Suasoria
• I don't know what you mean by a substitute for meat, I'm sorry. If you're concerned about protein on a vegan diet, you need to do more research. B12 is available in some plant-based foods (more info on this is coming to light) but to be on the safe …

  in I need some encouragement to become a Raw Vegan/Vegan. Comment by Suasoria
• There's nothing wrong with being orange from carrot juice. In fact, I asked a doctor about that today - a doctor I trust, I should add!

  in Too many carrots? Comment by Suasoria
• I have an unpopular perspective, but it isn't the first time I've mentioned it, so here it is again. I've found that when people go raw for personal reasons - health, weight, vanity - without some sort of background or education in veganism (animal …

  in Had a bit of a slip... Comment by Suasoria
• I've made some great soups and some we could barely choke down. I don't think there's any logic to it except almost all our summer tomato soups have been hits. Most of the "misses" have actually included avocado, actually.

  in Raw Soup - How do you like it? Comment by Suasoria
• I second what Ofthesea and others have said -- SAD eaters can be wowed by anything really flavorful, so make things extra sweet, extra salty, extra spicy, etc. In addition to the fab cheese sauces, a marinara with sun-dried and regular tomato (plus …

  in Raw comfort food for SAD eaters Comment by Suasoria
• Actually I've read many natural/holistic medical opinions that advise a tablespoon or so of a natural salt for sodium and other minerals, which can be hard to get elsewhere in your diet. Like fats, there are good salts and bad salts. Good salt has n…

• On antidepressants, two handful of cashews contain a therapeutic-level dose of tryptophan, a serotonin-booster. Magnesium is also a good supplement for mood. (Try the Peter Gilham Calm stuff.) This is interesting info http://www.foodmatters.tv/_weba…

  in Heavy head/fogginess Comment by Suasoria
• I hate to count calories, but your symptoms sometimes are familiar to me when I simply haven't eaten enough. If you were getting a good percentage of calories from meat and dairy (fatty, dense) and replacing them with plants, that could throw you of…

• "People often tell me things are one thing when they aren't, like, "Is this vegetarian? Yes, yes! But isn't that pork? Oh, but just a little," or, "Does this have sugar in it? No, no sugar. (Sip) Uhh, this has sugar in it. Ohh, but it's delicious, n…

  in Raw Honey ---does it have a honey comb in it? Comment by Suasoria
• I *think* I used 3/4 cup flax seeds and got 1 cup of flax meal.

  in Making flax crackers Comment by Suasoria
• I think if you mixed the ground flax with water until you get a dry paste, add a little nama shoyu or dulse or cilantro or other seasoning, and smeared it on a teflex sheet in the dehydrator, you'd be good to go. Post your results as a new recipe! I…

  in Making flax crackers Comment by Suasoria
• Actually I've seen many recipes using ground flax - maybe try the tag "crackers" when you search?

• On hungry people...when my husband is hungrily awaiting dinner and he sees me fetch the camera, he knows he's about to have a good meal! I had some "food porn" on my camera and was showing a friend some of the recent dishes. He whined, "WHY are you …

• Noted! I try to take pictures of the more attractive dishes. I also would like to post multiple photos (step 1, step 2, etc.) but that will have to wait for a future upgrade!

• It's amazing that we can figure out how to create a human embryo without sexual contact, yet we can't do more for a broken toe besides tape! It may not help, but you could try anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric.

  in Okay, this is really weird, can anyone help me? Comment by Suasoria
• This thread is a good one - lots of rec's http://goneraw.com/forum/favorite-raw-internet-storefronts I wish we could make it sticky!

  in Best online raw product sources?? Comment by Suasoria
• A "water fast" seems extreme and possibly dangerous to me too. There are other philosophies aside from 80/10/10, and probably the only thing we all can agree on is: eat more raw foods.
