I know rolled oats are NOT raw. Are steel-cut oats? Cracked wheat? Bulgar wheat? I am eating soaked steel-cut oats right now. But it only took an hour for them to soften, so that's probably not a...

Audrey, guess what? Spelt and kamut are both gluten-free varieties of wheat.

Anybody know which is LOW-er in gluten? hard/soft, red/white?

I am definitely on a budget. I don't have a dehydrator. I just eat fruit for breakfast, and salad for lunch, and random experiments throughout the day. Sometimes I eat a cooked vegan dinner with my...

What's so great about the excaliburs?

Educate me... What are the different factors involved in a dehydrator?

I'm looking for something CHEAP yet use-able. I bought one at Fred Meyer, turned out it doesn't have a temperature control. These things I don't even realize are issues when books talk about having a...

Hooray for you!! I am breastfeeding my 10 month old now. We are both 100% raw. He is the healthiest baby you've ever seen! I love being in tune with ourselves because whenever his nose runs, I know...

It seems like in order to get all those hulls off, and also shells of nuts and small seeds... wouldn't there have to be some heated...

Gosh, I just assumed that if I order a salad, it will be raw! Are most restaurant greens cooked!?!??!

okay, if we go through "detox" during our transition into raw, will there be a detox for everytime we eat cooked foods? Or is it just a quick, small thing like diarrhea maybe? Have you noticed, what...
