Refined salt is heated to 800 °C or so, at which point it melts and different minerals are separated. Raw salt is not processed like that. You can heat salt to 100 °C and it's still raw, but I'm not...

This is how I freeze a pineapple: I pull the crown off, then cut it in half through the core, then cut each half in thirds, so that I have six pieces, 60° each, with the angle going through the...

I've heard of it, but where is it?

Welcome to RFT!

Bonjour Judy et bienvenue! What do you say in patois?

French is my second native language, and I heard enough Spanish growing up, and have been to Portugal and Brazil, that I mix them up all the...

Many animals eat rough leaves to get rid of intestinal worms. There's the big decorative grass plant that has the fluffy feathery inflorescence - try picking a leaf and cutting it into 1 cm bits and...

Have any of you tried feeding them seaweed?

If you don't like it, don't eat it. Try a plain fruit smoothie, or varying the greens, or eating different seaweed. Sometimes I could not stand onions; now I have to have them. For a few months I...

I have a blender, but no dehydrator, and I've been raw over a year. I start the day with 500-800 grams of smoothie, then make a salad and take it to work.

I know nothing about coffee except that...

Hi neighbor! What part of N.C. are you in?

You can tuna cactus but you can't tuna fish ;)

They have them (as well as the vegetable, which is called nopal) at the local store. Maybe I should try them.

Welcome to raw! It sounds kooky, but you can lose weight (at least I did) by eating avocados and olives. Instead of cutting out fats, replace sat fat with avo.

I usually make sure my salad is at least 640 grams and contains an avocado or several olives. I also take some fruit.

I don't have all of them; some were pulled for orthodontic reasons. Three suggestions:
1. Seaweed. All sorts of minerals, including fluorine you can use, not the chemical waste product, and...

You go to the Asian supermarket looking for nori, and come out empty-handed because it's all yaki.

Allergic to what kind of seaweed? There are many kinds, as different as ferns and fig trees (some even say as different as men and mushrooms).

I go three or four times a week. Once to the HFS, and a few more times to a nearby store. In fall, I'm probably going to frequent the Asian store for gai lan (right now I'm not interested in...

I recently ate some corn, but it's not a big part of my diet.

A couple of weeks ago, I was talking about the new lot where the church is going to move to with one of the church leaders, and after...

I like Alaria. Wakame is in the alaria family, but it is wide and broken into fringes, which makes it hard to pick through the whole thing looking for shells.

Yes I soak it first, and remove the...

EPA is one of the essential omega-3 fatty acids that they say we have to get from fish (the other is DHA). One ND serving of wakame is 10 g hydrated. (My serving size for seaweed, other than nori, is...

I looked up wakame on Wikipedia and found this out: it is the highest non-animal source of eicosapentaenoic acid, on a mass-per-energy basis. It has 1 mg/kJ, which means that if all its energy were...

I have a Vita-Mix and a spiralizer, and they serve me well. I once tried making a smoothie with some lesser blender, and ended up with a chip of a wooden spoon in it, and it was not well mixed. If...

MSM is not a whole food. It's a single chemical.

Shuar peanuts don't have aflatoxin. But they are a lot more expensive than Georgia peanuts, at least in North Carolina.

Welcome back Cori! Please don't leaf us ;)
