  • Some brands are labeling their herbs and spices raw. At least here in Canada. I’m sure as the demand grows they’ll be easier to find. But fresh will always be best in flavor in my opinion.

  • Hi Sweta, We are a new business that started up in January 2008 supplying Raw Foods and various kitchen equipment especially for Canada. I am sure you’ll appreciate our products, service and fast shipping.
  • Hi Lou, I lived in Georgia for about 4 years and used my dehydrator while there. I never had a bug issue. If you keep it clean bugs shouldn’t be a problem.
  • Standard American Diet, BTW what does OTOH stand for? Hard to keep track of all the acronyms.
  • We keep it in the basement because it is practically always on to supply our families needs. We live in a quiet rural area. I like peaceful quietness and the sounds of nature. I find my PC fan loud and the dehydrator fan is louder than that. That sa…

  • Our bodies convert amino acids contained in food into the protein it needs. I may not have expressed it correctly but its how I understand it. That said, one doesn’t need to eat protein foods to get “protein”.
  • You could also check out the Biogerme sprouter kit (“germe” french for sprout) It is a large container and includes interchangable screens of different sizes depending on seed or bean used. Its available on ebay.

  • Check out this forum post on maple syrup http://www.goneraw.com/forums/2/topics/4530
  • Goldenberries are what we call here in North America Ground Cherries botanical name: physalis pruinosa. Very easy to grow.
  • We carry a Raw Certified Organic coconut flour in Canada. It is what is leftover from the pressing of fresh coconuts for the raw DME or extra virgin coconut oils. Here’s the link for those interested in Canada http://www.rawnutrition.ca/html/alpha_r…
  • I’ve seen the change of color in people from the typical SAD diet to vegan and not even totally raw.
  • Chia seed can be used in pretty much the same proportion as flax is in cracker recipes. It will gel and bind other ingredients together just like flax does. Unfortunately it is more expensive.
  • No such thing as raw maple syrup. Fresh maple tree sap is raw and only available seasonaly. Once boiled and concentrated 40:1 its no longer raw.
  • Try having simpler cooked vegan foods. Like boiled grains and beans. These will help ease your hunger feelings and will not be as bad for your health as meat and dairy. This make a pretty healthy all vegan diet combined with raw veggies, fruits, nut…
  • Hi rawnerio, You can check out our Canadian Online store @ http://www.rawnutrition.ca We will soon carry a more reasonably priced cacao butter than what is currently available in Canada. We have “Advantage Health” cacao nibs and lots of other Raw Fo…
  • Buckwheat is not a grain. Its great sprouted and then dehydrated. Buckwheat contains no gluten, and can be eaten by people with coeliac disease or gluten allergies.
  • I owned an Excalibur for 10 years before selling them. It has provided all those years of service without breaking down. If ever something goes like the thermostat or element I know I can easily obtain a replacement part and install it myself. If ev…
  • Green Magma contains maltodextrin (corn based) and brown rice. I wasn’t familiar with Vitamineral but I checked out Kristens reference. It doesn’t contain those fillers as some may call them. You could also try juicing your own grass juice. We grow …
  • Hi Kminty3, You can join the raw food meet up group on the same website link (Respond to the “Can you attend”box in upper right to join even if you say no). You’ll receive automatic e-mails for the events. You can see Montreal area members listed th…
  • I just tried it again and its a good link. Just click on it, it should work. Less than 1 hour for you to go to Montreal. My brother lives in Plattsburg, well actually West Chazy. Small e-world.
  • Bananas don’t need their seeds to propagate. That can be done by its underground stem called a rhizome. Today’s bananas are reduced to just a few varietes by propagation of the rhizome through tissue cultures. Highly selected? Yes. Did bananas have …
  • For sure a garden. Also look for coop buying clubs in your area. Great source for lower priced organic foods.
  • Hi Verousse, We’re in Canada also. The best way to eat lots of raw foods and keep warm in the winter is by exercising. Get outdoors and ski, skate, snowshoe etc. When you come back in your circulation will be improved and you won’t feel cold. Also …
  • No need to worry about bugs. Buckwheat is not a grain that attracts many bugs. In over 20 years of selling and eating buckwheat I have never seen bugs in it. Rice on the other hand is a bug breeding ground. Plus by sprouting buckwheat you will have …
  • Hi uncook, In North America you can usually find 3 types of buckwheat. Black: buckwheat with the outer husk still on it. Use it for growing young tender greens. White (slightly green): outer husk removed. Use it for sprouting a small shoot. Brown: …
  • It one wants to transition away from salt you can dry some fresh celery. Cut it in small pieces and then grind it carefully not to overheat it. Use the powder to season meals. Celery is high in organic salt and will make an appreciable taste differe…
  • Hi Leigh Star, If you want to avoid freezing try low temp. drying of your pulp. You can easily rehydrate it when you need and not have to wait for it to thaw.
  • Extra virgin cold pressed Hempseed oil is raw.
