  • hey osoniye I just wanted to throw in my two cents here, cuz I've definitely been in your position. I found this site after being raw for awhile, and got really excited about all the recipes. Once I started to look around though, I noticed a lot of …

  • I collect old newspapers from my campus that are going to be thrown away. When I go grocery shopping I wrap my veggies in a layer or 2 of newspaper. The newspaper absorbs the moisture keeping the veggies fresh and there’s no plastic :). Also, its fr…

  • Hey sweetpea, A lot of people will tell you different things about the malaria pills, but i’ll just tell you that I was in India for 3 months and didn’t take a single medication. I also didn’t get ANY shots before going (nor have I ever had any shot…

    in India Raw..Anytips?? Comment by rishiFromRoshis
  • Also, just one correction to what sweetpea wrote. Jains are NOT vegan. They are vegetarian but also do not eat certain foods like onion, garlic, and green chilies. They also try not to eat spicy food. Non-Jains will refer to this food as “sattvic” (…

  • Only domestic almonds are required to be pasteurized by California law. Imported almonds from Spain, Italy, etc. are probably raw. This is what I was told by my Organic Almond farmer friend in Fresno. Also, even if almonds are pasteurized, its possi…

  • From the reading and research I've done, everyone recommends just doing it once as the first thing when you wake up. If you want to do it at night, just make sure you are doing it one an empty stomach. Thats actually the reasoning for doing it in th…

  • Hey RawNewOrleans, I wrote a whole article on this on my blog at http://roshis.com. Check it out. Everything you need to know. There's also a pretty good discussion on oil-pulling if you follow this link: http://www.giveittomeraw.com/forum/topics/pr…
    in Oil Pulling-information? Comment by rishiFromRoshis
  • According to Ayurveda, sesame oil and sunflower oil are best. If these are unavailable, coconut oil is considered OK. As far as I know, no other oil is recommended.
    in Oil Pulling-information? Comment by rishiFromRoshis
  • Oil pulling should be done as often as possible. It’s not a treatment that you do only when you have a problem (that’s western medicine thinking), its done as a preventative treatment. Oil pulling is included in Ayurveda’s daily health routine calle…

  • Hi brighteyes As you can see, drinking tea is pretty much accepted by most raw foodists. However, if you are in a cold weather setting and don’t want to drink tea, there are several options. According to Indian (Ayurveda) and Chinese medicine system…

  • Hi WailingWoman Freezing food does cause some loss of nutrition. However, it is not so damaging as heating food which denatures enzymes in the food. That being said, I wouldn’t eat any food which I haven’t frozen myself. You can never know what been…

  • tggoesraw – hahah thanks for catching that. I was talking about the Mahabharata with my aunt while I was writing the post, so I think must’ve mixed them up. Corrected it now! Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

  • This may sound strange, but it works. I promise. Take a bath in warm water and pour in some Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar. About 2 cups should be fine, you don’t need to use too much. Just keep your hair in the water while you’re bathing for 5-10 minu…

  • I always just take food with me when I go out to restaurants with friends or family. You might get a few strange looks, but its worth it. One time someone else came up and asked what I had ordered. I laughed.

  • I always get this question about where I get my protein from. PROTEIN IS EVERYWHERE! How would a cow get to be so large and strong if grass wasn’t full of protein? So how should you get protein? Vegetables, sprouted beans, sprouted grains, sprouted …

  • I’d definitely go with the blender. Its much more versatile, and a lot easier to use.

  • Sugar beets will be modified so they are “Roundup Ready”, much like other corn and soy crops have already been. This means that the crops will be resistant to Roundup, the herbicide, so they can be soaked with the poison and not be affected. So what…
