I LOVE raw!!

[faith4u]

Ever since it started warming up I want nothing but raw, raw, raw foods. Cooked foods don't tempt me at all.

Everything tastes so wonderful and delicious right now. I only wish this would last forever. :D

My favorite food in the world right now is my collard wraps. I could live off of them!!

(Okay, well I'd have to throw in some bananas and mangos too. :o )

Every day is a great day to be raw!!

Wow, collard wraps....sounds pretty good. We are only in our first week being raw...love to read these postings and see what different folks enjoy. Im still in the " had a banana,,,,now what?" phase :cool:

Collard wraps are amazing...simply because they form the shell of whatever toppings you have available. Sometimes I have guacamole or some sort of falafel or patty or something "heavier" in them..and sometimes just sprouts, cucumber and tomatoes....

You also might like to buy some non-toasted nori (seaweed sheets) and make your own sushi. Sounds tough but it's super easy...just don't pack it too full!

I also put the same things in the sushi....patties or guac or something like that and then some sprouts, cucumber etc...
If you're looking for other quick dishes try peeling some zucchini with a regular vegetable peeler and toss it with a bit of olive oil, garlic, tomatoes etc...it is my current favorite raw main dish!

Have fun!

Is falafel a raw food ?

[rawpriestess]

falafel that is sold in restaurants is not raw, it is deep fried.

the kind in the box that you mix with water is cooked also, well, the ingredients are anyway.

However, Alissa has an excellent recipe in her book for falafel.
