• I think I've been living on watermelon island without actually meaning to! I eat a disturbing amount of it already. Lately, I've met a ton of people who say that they don't like watermelon. How is that even possible? It's a cryin' shame.

• www.nutritiondata.com is a massive U.S. government sponsored database of whole and packaged foods. If you sign up (it's free) you can use the site's recipe feature to plug in the fruit and veg you use (and amounts) for your juice.

• I was under the impression that frozen edamame (shelled) had been cooked first. So, I checked it out and discovered that in the U.S., at least, it is not. The beans are mechanically extracted from the pods. This is good news because I love edamame a…

• Nothing gets the blood of otherwise rational people angried up faster than food (politics, religion, snacks). There's so much baggage attached to it, that it's almost impossible to discuss anything outside of the mainstream about food unless the per…

• I attempted to make date sugar at home. I wasn't successful. I dehydrated (at 105 F) pitted deglet noor dates for about 36 hours. (I chose them because they are so dry anyway.) Tried to pulverize them in a Vitamix and a Cuisineart. The dates, which …

• That's a good idea. I'm sure it would work. Can raw date sugar be purchased, or is it something that can be made at home? I have to admit, I make most of my own stuff, but I start to get glassy-eyed looking at recipes that require me to "make" most …

• What you have listed is great. For a 4 to 5 day trip, you usually have to stay with dehydrated stuff. Fresh food is just too heavy to carry in sufficient quantities. You could plan to eat fresh food the first day or two (choose things that have very…

• It would seem like cookies would work. Maybe take a dried fruit and nut base and incorporate the fruit juice pulp according to your tastes.

• It's best to try out recipes that don't require a dehydrator when you're just getting started. You can easily be raw without ever dehydrating food, but it's a nifty device for treats. If you can, get your hands on Jennifer Cornbleet's book Raw Foods…

• If you're car camping (not backpacking), you'll have a lot of leeway. Fruit doesn't damage easily if you pack it well. Put things like bananas, apples, oranges, stone fruit, etc. in paper bags and make sure you put them in the car in a place where t…

• I have to admit I'm envious of you folks living in the U.K. I've always had an interest in neolithic ruins. One day I'd like to take a trip (primarily to Scotland) where I can hike and camp. Such beautiful outdoor areas in that part of the world. Al…

• Wiccan here; although I'm a seeker. I'm also not 100% raw, but whole foods vegan with an avid interest in raw that seems to be taking up more eatin' space every day. I suspect that there are a lot of pagans of many persuasions lurking around vegan/r…

• That's awesome! My husband and I are doing the same thing. We were high raw for a month (after many years as whole food vegans), but stumbled a bit recently. As I'm sure you know, feeling like crap once you know what feeling good is like is no fun a…

• Himalayan salt is salt, although it is less processed than the regular iodized variety you get at the supermarket, and it's supposed to have a few more minerals, too. But, too much salt of any variety isn't the greatest thing. I've not heard of the …

• Raw chocolate is a go to for this time. This is the best recipe I've tried: http://www.welikeitraw.com/rawfood/2006/02/chilled_chocola.html I usually halve this amount, use raw cacao powder, and add chopped raw pistachios to the top. It'll get you t…

• Hi, I've amassed quite a few raw cookbooks, but the one that is the easiest and most useful is Jennifer Cornbleet's Raw Food for One or Two People. You won't need anything more than a food processor/blender and a knife to make the dishes in the book…

• If you'd like stone cold facts about how your body digests food, uses macro and micro nutrients, etc., without any judgment, I can't recommend Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina's "Becoming Raw" highly enough. It's a pretty new book. They're the author…

• Something to consider beyond particular foods that you like to eat that you might want to avoid is when or how you like to eat certain things. For example, I can do pretty well throughout a day, but ever since I was a child it's been almost a ritual…

• Unlike most raw fooders on the planet (I think ;-)), I really dislike smoothies and blended food of all kinds, but like yourself, I have to pack two meals a day for on the go. I usually do what IsisDC does and take fruit for the morning and I make a…
