Similar to eating ground flax I'd say, as long as you chew well... and from my experience it's easier to chew whole dehydrated flaxseed crackers than whole (dry) flaxseeds. The dehydration process...

Another example I could think of is when 'germinating' or soaking walnuts. After they've been soaked they're not translucent. Before they're soaked they're not as translucent either if at all. But...

I've made my own flax crackers of just whole flaxseeds. I liked it since the flax was still in whole form and I could grind them on demand for fresh ground flaxseed. But if you eat them without...

What you said is interesting... I dind't know there was a dark side to too much cooconut oil. everything I've read about it says it's good.

I'm not really against oils as long as they're raw and...

well.. I get milled/powdered sprouted flaxseed from nutrasprout brand. THat's where I get most of my omega 3s. Until I can learn to sprout my own flax and dehydrate them into a cracker to grind as...

I mentioned lecithin, but I really meant choline.

I remember you once said on this forum that grains or beans no matter how sprouted or soaked contain indigestible proteins according to David Jubb. So I try to stay away from these as much as...

that's funny that you said sprouted grain as having the highest (amount?) of phytonutrients? Do you mean psuedo grains, or simply the grasses that come from these sprouts?

I just always thought...

I tried once, was not possible. Maybe what I had was more than just dried/dehydrated.

I'd see something like an "Energy Soup" and other variations also as being a nutritionally complete meals. Look at the Raw Meal supplement by Garden of Life. It's pretty much an energy soup/smoothie....

This is somewhat funny because I've been trying to make my own "nutritionally complete meal". Yours doesn't follow proper food combining principles, but what do I know maybe you can be lax about it....

this is why I don't promote the high fruit raw lifestyle or atleast without a transition phase of high greens/protein/fat before going onto higher fruit/carb intake. I would recommend looking into...

I guess one could make fermented seed cheese with it or put it in cracker based recipes. Put it in a salad, as a spread, or just eat as is. That's what I usually do. I want to see if I could make a...

i've been making sesame milks with sprouted sesame.

You too can make milk from sprouted seeds which take 1-2 days to sprout. Just sprout in a jar, then blend in a blender and strain the mixture...

Arky I agree with what you're saying there.

hm, I wrote some very good replies but they didn't get through moderation? I wonder why... said it would have to be looked at by the forum mods... yet other posts apppear instantly without having to...

It would be helpful to reconsider religious dogma about fruitarianism. Ie as if "Fruit is what God wants us to eat". Sure maybe,but which "god", what does that word represent? And further to actually...

I heard an interview by Tony Wright author of Left in the Dark. He said that perhaps our ancient ancestors lived in the tropics or close to, and lived on fresh living foods and in particular fruit...

I think any sugar in excess will cause aging if you're not getting enough nutrients fro other foods. It's related IMO to the sugar metabolism. I think of it like a stimulant, sugar is kind of...

I think it is best to do a presoak of the grains in 2% lemon juice for half hour before soaking to sanitize it. Probably the same after they've been sprouted.

Excess amounts of LA(linoleic) and AA are unhealthy because they promote inflammation leading to the diseases described above. However, GLA may actually reduce inflammation. Much of the GLA taken as...

It's also very interesting to note that the study says Linolenic acid increased in germinated sesame seeds. This is an omega 3! Linoleic (omega 6) fatty acid decreased.

I wonder if omega 3s...

I don't drink caffeine everyday. I was addicted to it once for a long time. About a year or so... Everyday drinking. Couldn't get off the wagon until finally I just gave it up. Nowadays.. I don't...

I like yerba mate, guayusa and yaupon. All of these are hollys and supposedly have higher anti-oxidant content than teas?

They are also the only caffeinated sources I know of that I've found truly...

Yea the oxalates issue I'm sort of uncertain about. Some say that oxalates in raw form are ok, but still one should be careful. I don't really know. I do know that high oxalate greens have a...
