• I like avo's that are a bit more ripe than some... if they're a little mushy, they are great mashed with salt and lemon juice as a spread or veg topping. /They grow on you!!

• Anything with avocado... since that is usually served raw anyway, in guac or with salsa, makes a great buttery spread, etc. , and fills people up since it is high fat, and in my opinion VEEERY comforting!!

• They are dangerous! I haven't cut myself yet, but use it with fear a trepidation. I have a cheapo model and don't recommend it! Spend the money and get one that won't rust, and that has sturdy blades!!

• Ooooo. nice to think about... I'd have a great set of knives, wooden cutting board, high speed blender, a good juicer and dehydrator. I think I'd also have a huge fridge with half the capacity being crisper drawers!!!

• I'd like to hear more about oil pulling too, from those who have tried it. It sounds a bit odd, but I'm willing to give it a try if it really gets rid of bad microbes.

• Things will "grow on you"- give them time... I'm sure it's different for everyone, but I've found if I eat something I don't like very much when I'm really hungry, it tastes OK, and then the next time I try it, I actually like it. Main point- don't …

• Yeah, walnuts and hazelnuts and pine nuts are normally rally raw if labeled so. Also there have been comments on here about TJ's almonds 'sprouting', even though they are assumedly "pasturized" for federal regulations.
