    Always wondered this....when using fresh herbs do you pick off the leaves or chop it all up? I have been just picking off leaves and this is time consuming but wondering if other stem may not work in recipe flavourwise.
    Thanks!:)

    I guess I should not ask this as an either/or question exactly, I know you can have both, but when I look at recipes with salad type ingredients I just wonder why pulvarize when you can have the crunch? I am big in texture as I have found out doing this! I thought maybe because you can get more greens in your body, but I have big salads most days. I can see if one juices the greens and fruits you would get alot of the juice, but then no fibre and for now I like my fibre

    I am not 100% raw so didn't think I would be detoxing, altho I am eating ALOT better then my vegan junk food diet. I have had constant back pain for about 2 weeks now, even after chiro and massage, thinking it was related to something outa wack. Does this sound like a detox symptom? I did a search and found nothing so maybe I have some other thing going on.

    Also my usual insomnia is worse and feeling irritated and very PMSy all the time, which does seem like a detox, but didn't ...

    No hemp recipes in Alissa's book?

    Just got her book and checked index since hemp is so plentiful here and I like it for all the goodness it has but she has no recipes. I have done a search online for them and found a few raw ones, but mostly drinks.

    Anyone know if substitues can be made using hemp nuts/seeds for eg? I don't know what can be done with the powder, and I assume can use hemp oil instead of other oils for dressings?

    All the food is just so...mushy

    I just got Alissa's book so I haven't tried any of HER recipes but so far, except for the basic salad, everything is just so mushy. I feel like a patient in hospital I used to see on a low texture diet, everything she ate was mush. Even things with nuts or seeds, because they are pulvarized in processor, they just feel like grains of sand mixed with mush in my mouth.

    I haven't bought a dehydrator yet, which I would hope would help with this texture problem, but wondering if it ...
