• Hi chattanoog, Congrats on your great attitude during your cleanse. I haven't attempted one yet but maybe I can. I know it doesn't help you now but when you do go back to your raw diet the Eggplant Mini Pizza recipe on here is so good. :) http://gon…

• Caleb, do you have a food processor? You could get the nuts started in there. If not there's nothing wrong with keeping it simple w/ a squeeze of lemon or lime, a bit of agave, salt pepper, red pepper flakes. Maybe a high quality (?) bottled dressin…

• Hi maykat, I went to this site, http://www.sproutpeople.com/index.html and the only thing I found was black (turtle) beans should be cooked. I'm not sure if all black beans are similar because you seem to have someone saying those are ok to sprout. …

  in I got a coconut, now what?! Comment by gratefultobe
• Hi pula, No problem. Most of us are used to seeing the regular round brown furry coconuts but the "young or Thai" coconuts are covered in a WHITE husk that looks ground smooth and to a point on top. When you shake them they are REALLY full of water.…

• Hi Aurora, Young coconuts are def one of my fun new favorites. I usually get 3 a week and they get made into smoothies. I started out making choc flavor with coconut, banana, cacao powder & butter, some maca & goji berries. It made me feel a…

  in I got a coconut, now what?! Comment by gratefultobe
• I agree Parsley. Definitely a transitional item, or something to try. Very much like me and cacao. These things are good to have around for when the mood strikes but I think they will last me awhile. Plain food keeps getting better.

  in How much is 80 procent raw? Comment by gratefultobe
• Um, kudos to chris for throwing out there a perfectly good answer to the q. "how many percentage to be considered raw?" The real answer is 100%. Now most people CHOOSE not to go 100% overnight and of course, that's fine. For most its a learning proc…

  in Thinking of Purchasing a Spiralizer? Comment by gratefultobe
• Ohh lucky, how nice to have a gift card from there! I have had the Saladacco since Nov. and use it all the time. It really does make those fat ribbons and thin strings for easy raw pastas. I have used it on veggies from zucchini to beets. Its easy t…

• I'm going to look for them. Thanks for recommending! Are they easy to find at the regular grocery store? Are they in season now? Love to try new stuff!

  in too many dates? Comment by gratefultobe
• Yeah, I think if I noticed I was becoming addicted to something I'd leave it alone too. I've found leaving cooked food alone to be the best thing so far to not eating compulsively. It seems to leave me making really good choices & pretty well ba…

• Hi Glam, Yep, mine does. I'm in CA tho. I've bought deglet noor (pitted & cheaper) there too, not good BTW. I think flavorless. Like sugar balls or something, so I might end up tossing those. And the medjools. They come in little 2lb. containers…

• Hi, The phone # for the date people is at the bottom of their pdf and I think I have seen on other threads that is the only way to order. They will let you know what varieties are available at different times of year too. I have been wanting to call…
