• I have heard that they are not raw,. a lot of grain products are irradiated first. i don't think that an oat groat that has been chopped up can sprout anymore (I have tried it) , but I eat them anyway by soaking them, for breakfast, and they are del…

• David Wolfe's raw cacao is the best I've tasted (the Terramazon at WF is good too, but too expensive) . there is a brand I get in bulk at another store that is cheaper than his, but it's a tad sour tasting and not as rich. the Sunfoods brand is trul…

• you can make noodles from a peeler instead of a spiralizer..... i have heard some hardcore 100%'ers say all they need is a ceramic blade knife, a chopping board, and a high-speed blender. you can juice if you have a high speed blender and a nut milk…

• I drink about a quart of vegetable juice as many days as I can. mostly tomato, spinach, cucumber, celery, carrot. stuff like that. :-) sometimes I puree the tougher veggies in the juicer and do the soft veggies like tomato in the blender and mix it …

• I made some and didn't like them either. They were pretty crispy. I like kale and eat a lot of it in other dishes so it's doubly weird. I may try them again. The snack that I thought was better is the caulflower "popcorn" that's rough chopped and ro…

• Thanks everyone! Great information. LOL Kendra-- re: juice stains! Never would have thought of that, but I agree, I wouldn't like that either.

• Yep. My hands and feet and tip of my nose are always cool. I have adapted to the warmer climate where I live after going raw. I still have a hard time being raw in the winter. i need to work on some 'warming' recipes!

• I wonder what would happen if you sealed the avocadoes whole, inside freezer bags,and just took one out to thaw every time you wanted an avocado? This is worth an experiment with one avocado, i think!

• i've soaked wild rice. It can take three or four days. You have to refrigerate it, or it goes bad. Changing the water every few hours is also a good idea. Eventually, it will split, and when it does, it's very tasty. Just be prepared to wait a while…

• I like to dip julienned jicama into a nutritional yeast dip. it's just red star nutritional yeast, salt and water. I don't know if this will "turn" your not-yet raw friend, though.

• I’m generally skeptical about the news when it makes proclamations like this. It sounds like fear-mongering from the Republican-Right-Pro-Fossil-Fuel crowd to me. “We’ll all starve, if we don’t continue to use fossil fuel!” I wouldn’t worrytoo much.…

• Wow, you all just reminded me: clear nasal passages and a load of new hair growth on my hairline. I’m so amazed by the immediate results people see when they switch to a raw food diet. More miracles, please! :-)

• it takes a little time, but the weight will come off. I would minimize the amount of nuts and avocados to about 1-2 oz per day. I would also look for a raw cookbook that has menu’s in it. This might help too.
