[Coriander74]

Favorite... strawberry and mango salad. I've been hooked on this since I read about it in a thread!!!!

I tried them but I don't like them... the "Chicken" Fingers from Alissa's book LOL I tried them at different dehydrations, with different sauces, just can't choke 'em down.

[sevenbravo]

Favorite: Watermelon, Kale Salad.

Least Favorite: Any raw food that tries to mimic cooked food that is made almost entirely of nuts and seeds then dehydrated. A rock would sit better in my stomach! :o

[tinystrawberry]

sevenbravo, i totally agree with your 'least favorite'

coriander, strawberry mango salad sounds so goood, what's your recipe :D

[Gosia]

I only eat my favourite raw foods (why suffer?). At the moment, my morning favourite are mandarines, my afternoon favourite are apples, and my evening favourite are young coconuts. I also salivate at the thought of having a persimmon.

sevenbravo, i totally agree with your 'least favorite'

coriander, strawberry mango salad sounds so goood, what's your recipe :D

my personal recipe is...

as many strawberries as I can eat :p
usually 2 mangos, cubed
and if the strawberries are tarter than I like, then I put about a tablespoon of raw agave nectar over the lot, and let it sit for a few minutes to get the juices going. SOO SOO GOOD!

[Brianna]

Favorites:
Durian, figs, salads, green juice, mamey, jackfruit, everything

Least favorites:
radishes, wheatgrass juice

[Sharon in Colorado]

It is hard to say, so many favorites! Bananas of course, cherries, peaches, cherimoyas, baby lettuces, jicama, mangoes, pears, grapes, oranges, strawberries...

But the least favorite I would have to say is tomatoes and papayas. I really wish I loved them, and I'll eat both of them, but I can't eat them plain because their flavors are pungent and musky.

[Im2Fruity]

ooh favorites: bananas, durian!, avocados
least favorite: celery gags me, and any sea vegetable (nori-yuck.) :D

[rawfigure]

most....fuji apple
least....nori

[Lay-Lay]

most....fuji apple
least....nori


oh my...I thought everyone loved nori. I just set here and ate a pack and a half or nori rolled over cucumbers, yummy!

[misslinda]

Least Favorite: Any raw food that tries to mimic cooked food that is made almost entirely of nuts and seeds then dehydrated. A rock would sit better in my stomach! :o


Dude, yur killin me!!! :p :D true that some of those raw treats at the store feel like road block.

[Boz]

Gosia: I've been craving persimmons for the past couple months and I can't find them this time of the year :(

I STILL NEED TO TRY DURIAN (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH). I'm scared though :o

My favorites are apples, pineapple, grapes, bananas, and strawberries :)

[Spectatrix]

Favourite: Strawberries :)
Least Fav.: stuff that I'm allergic to... plain nuts (if part of a larger dish, doesn't seem to bother me as much) and coconut water.

I used to have mild allergic reactions to avocado, melons, and bananas too, but those don't seem to be bothering me anymore.

[mcasburn]

Faves: avocados, heirloom tomatos, summer squash, blueberries, mangos, romanesco broccoli, basil-cilantro pesto, Alissa's jalapeno-stuffed green olives, Natalia Rose's green lemonade, salad greens from the Farmers' Market, blood oranges

Not so much: onions, Smart Monkey raw jalapeno crackers (funky-chewy yucky), dates, most berries (they often taste moldy), walnuts (also taste moldy), rosemary (ALSO tastes moldy)

[RawChicky]

favorites: AVOCADOS, MANGOS, TANGELOS, WATERMELON

hate: mushrooms , kale, PAPAYA (eeeeeewww!!!!!!)

[Lucinda]

Papaya taste bad when I buy it in the states. It tastes great here in Australia!

[swingbolder]

Favorites: mangoes, young coconuts

Least favorite: zucchini and summer squash. For some reasons, eating them raw makes me feel nauseous.

Also, I agree about those raw "imitation cooked" dishes with tons of nuts in them -- it's just too much.

[RawChicky]

yeah and salty dehydrated food makes me feel as awful as eating cooked!

[rawruh]

favourite: avocado, tomato, greens, red-bell pepper, figs, mangos, fresh dates

least favourite: seaweed, celery, parsley,

[margi]

Favourites: bananas, medjool dates, strawberries, pineapple, any kind of melon, raspberries, romaine lettuce, cucumber, almonds, macadamia nuts from the shell!

Least favourites: any seaweed, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, sprouts, sprouted grains

[Judy]

Love: almonds, dates, honey, all kinds of fruits, love love love da fruits (especially tropical, strawberries, cherries... Am not the biggest fan of apples or pears), tomatoes, cucumbers, green leafy salad, avocados, carrots, alfalfa, hemp seed, nori, seaweed mix, it really depends on my mood (last month I had a sushi kick, I guess I had this savoury seaweed thing, I ate it every day, but now, can't say I'm going to run to the kitchen for it).

I don't like (I don't hate it too, but I just can't say they make me drool): other kinds of nuts than almonds (I never had macademia nuts, so about that I can't say anything yet), other sprouts than alfalfa, celery, cauliflower without anything to make it taste better, zucchini (am I the only one here?), cole. When they are put in something else, it's ok, but on their own? I don't think so. Btw, I never had dehydrated food, but must say that it really doesn't appeal to me, especially things containing lots of nuts! Only the very thought! So maybe I don't ever have to buy a dehydrator, now that would be easy...

[free]

Favorite: I pretty much eat the raw foods that I like.

Least favorite: Goji berries, I was told that these were a taste between cranberries and cherries, they taste like stale dried up raisins.

[Dutchie]

Favorite: Apple, bananas, strawberrie, cherries, mango
tomato, cumcumber, carrot, oranges :rolleyes:

Least Favorite: Grapefruit :eek:

[konmai]

Favs.: bananas, coconut, lime/lemon, chili pepper, onion, lettuce, papaya, spinach, tomatoes, cilantro, guava, pears, mango etc... I can't remember right now, b/c sometimes my body says it loves something else for long periods of time.

Dislike: apples, zucchini, parsley, tangerines, hm...don't remember much here either, hehe. :rolleyes:

[juliebove]

Favorites would be pumpkin seeds, walnuts, pecans, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, carrots, peas, celery, radishes, haricot verts, lentil sprouts and freshly picked strawberries.

Least favorite by far has got the be those corn chips I tried to make. Also don't like avocados or peaches. There are more things I don't like but not to the extent of those things. I actually have to spit them out if they get in my mouth. That's how bad they taste to me.

[Cinnamon]

Favorites-all fruits, mostly bananas, melons, berries, pineapple, mango, papaya, well, all of them! And medjool dates and baby greens.

Least favorites-flax crackers, most heavy raw main dishes (nut based), nori, sprouts, sprouted grains, lots of veggies that I do eat in small amounts but are not my favs like fruits are!

[madmel]

My favourites:
Banana, durian, cashews, onion bread

My least favourites:
Some raw veggies, e.g. broccoli (loved it lightly steamed on SAD) and cauliflower (same)

[Pailani]

f
hate: mushrooms , kale, PAPAYA (eeeeeewww!!!!!!)

It's funny how papaya tastes like it's trying to be a cantaloupe, and just doesn't cut it.

I love:
bananas, pineapple, young coconut, blueberries, cantaloupe, mangoes, grape tomatoes, avocados, oranges, pineapple-banana-spinach smoothies, almond butter, tahini, sunflower seeds, celery (I never liked it before I was raw)

Foods I don't care for:
Kale (but I sometimes put it in smoothies anyway), papaya, green bell peppers

Foods that frustrate me:
apricots, strawberries and plums because I keep buying delicious-looking ones and they're always not ripe and sour

There are so many fruits and recipes I haven't tried; I've never dehydrated anything.

[meinleben]

favorites: coconut water, watermelon, romaine, sprouts, dulse, hemp seeds, avocado, grapefruit, cucumber, blueberries

least favorite: durian, olives, bananas (way too hybrid), nut based gourmet and dehydrated food....that is total junk food in my opinion and tastes bad...

[PDMagnusen]

Hey, everyone.
I guess I must be strange because I don't dislike any raw foods that I can think of. :D
I usually eat very simple dishes, and I've only tried about a dozen or so dehydrated recipes, so maybe I wouldn't like a lot of them.

As for my favorites: Mangos, Kiwi, Blueberries, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Bananas, Coconuts, and Avocados.

So I'm curious as to why so many people seem to dislike papaya? I can't say I love it, but the taste is very faint to me - not strong enough to dislike.

[Deenasmiles]

My faves: oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, LIMES!!! Yes, I LOVE citrus!

Least favourite: olives, bitter celery, brussel sprouts, mushrooms and papaya!

[dread_head]

my dislikes are: brussel sprouts, almost all kinds of nuts, ( if there made with something sometimes ther're ok) sprouted beans, and mushrooms ( if they are not wild)

other than that i like everything.. not a very pickey eater

It's the texture I can't stand. Same reason I hate peaches. Something creepy about the texture.
