• You could test it, it depends upon a number of things, but it's just generally, a little too acidic.

  in Kambucha Comment by have_mersey
• Yes, definitely! The liquid is more acidic than regular Kombucha, and really helps to prevent bad bacteria and mold growth. Just remember to pour it on top of the new tea and scoby as any risk would enter there. I've not had a batch go bad yet (not …

• You do that after it has brewed, when you are bottling it. If you brew it with juice it would be more like wine, and the culture gets out of balance. Also it seems like eventually brews made with alternative sweeteners get mold or don't grow properl…

• Organic white sugar JoannaBanana. The culture, sometimes CALLED a "mushroom" (which is really a zoogleal mat), converts it, and eats most of it, so it's still perfectly healthy. Start a scoby/mushroom/zoogleal mat by adding 1/4 cup of sugar and 2 cu…

• Both are good enough to do the job, but Vita-mix has a better warranty.

• It is better than eating conventional produce from the store. Not to mention cheaper. And better for the environment than having things shipped. You'll also feel relaxed and rewarded and in tune with life. I don't see it as that big of a deal (think…

• Maybe a dehydrator might work because of the extended heat, but plain-soaking in warm water did not help me either. I miss my kelp noodles!

• I have no idea about avocados, but Figs are pretty easy. You can drape a blanket over them in winter, or plant them in a large pot and take them indoors or in a garage during winter as they don't need much if any sunlight during dormancy (just water…

• I've heard carbonated seltzer water takes calcium from your bones.

• I have no idea, other than the fact that some people prefer the taste. If there is a health reason, I'd like to know.

• Mmm Buckwheat granola. Something you should always have buckets of!

• I use seventh generation unbleched recycled paper towels. One on the bottom in the tray, the other on top. The roots cling to the bottom napkin as they grow, the top keeps them shaded until thwey sprout. It prevents the mess if the tray gets knocked…

• Dates, raw honey, lucuma, and bananas. NuStevia tasted soapy to me and it has maltodextrin. I prefer SweetLeaf brand Stevia. At first, it had a bit of a flavor wang to it, but I liked the taste and noticed it less each time thereafter. By the way th…

• Depends on what you are making. Mostly, raw cashews work well, but I can't find or afford either half the time. :-/ Try looking in ethnic stores sometimes they carry them.

• dancing_barefoot, I plan on going to Germany, but hopefully visiting Austria and Switzerland; I've never been and they are both beautiful. The second my feet touched the ground in Germany, I knew deep within me, I was home. I can't express the break…

• I hope to go back to Europe, but as of yet, still in America.

• My sleep does decrease when raw. I am just rested on less. Greens and proper hydration are key. The more greens, the I seem to need. Usually I sleep 5 -6 hours. I used to sleep 7-9 hours.

  in How long is every one sleeping while they are raw? Comment by have_mersey
• Bananas, make-ahead salads, granola. Those are a few things that don't require hand washing. The granola and salads can be very versatile with different ingredients daily, dressings, or in the case of granola- milks and varied dry ingredients. I hav…

• Don't worry about it. Even if you eat something horrible, if you just eat raw afterwards your body will cleanse itself. Stress and worry are unhealthy too. If you do slip, remember 80% still does am immense amount of good. And as far as cooked goes,…

  in help, I cheated! Comment by have_mersey
• I always wait 5-6 hours, because I feel better. But I suppose it depends on what you ate and how it makes you feel.

• Smoothie with enough Spirulina that it turns to a glass of swamp. It feels GOOOOOOOOOOD. "Singing cells", is definitely the way to put it. Also if I have dark green juice on a fairly empty stomache. Or a Goji-Cacao shake. "Sheer liquid wonderment". …

  in Raw food buzz! Comment by have_mersey

• I think green tea is beneficial (so long as you still drink lots of water). I would not worry about it. :) Even when I was a ridiculous nazi about raw food, I still indulged in tea. It's very good for the body, mind, and nerves. Keep in mind you nee…
