Does anyone have any idea how long green smoothies stay fresh? My daily morning commute to school is about 2 hours. My plan is to make a huge batch of green smoothies just before I leave home, pour...

Sharon, thanks for the tip. I have heard, though, that if the skin on the nuts is not completely in tact, even if the nuts are raw, they won't sprout. My raw almonds, bought from a pretty reputable...

People at the raw potluck I went to last week told me that brazil nuts are not raw (kind of like cashews which are heated when harvested). I'd never heard of it before but those people seemed to be...

The Thai way of opening a durian is to:
1. snap off the stem
2. turn the thing upside down
3. look for the biggest section the durian. Each durian comes with one biggest section or compartment,...

Thanks all.

I have heard that aloe vera is a laxative. That's why I hesitated to put it in my morning smoothies, because you don't want, you know, ... stuff ... to happen to you at work.

Does anybody eat fresh Aloe Vera regularly? Out of curiosity, I bought two huge (2.5 feet long!) Aloe Vera leaves from an ethnic grocery store. I peeled off the outer green part of one leaf and cut...

I have never had my carry-on bag searched myself, but it is generally understood that unpackaged foods (half-eaten, homemade, stuff stored in tupperware, etc.) are not allowed through customs. ...

You can take fresh produce on the plane, but you won't be able to get it past customs in your destination country. Ditto when you return to the US. You can take packaged foods with you, though. I'm...

3. collard...

I have the same problem. That's why I can't do the Master Cleanse. The acidity of the lemon juice and the sugar in the maple syrup makes me feel ill within hours into the fast. I have never lasted...

Hmm... good question, MissLinda. Why am I an all or nothing person? I don't know.. I've always been this way. I find it to be terribly annoying, but obviously not annoying enough or me to change. :o...

Mon Thong is hands down the best kind of Durian, IMHO. If you have never tried Durian before, Mon Thong is the way to go. You want to ease into it as Durian, as most people have said, is an acquired...

I'm wondering what you do, think of, make, look at, tell yourself, etc., to stop yourself from making bad food choices. I have my moments of weakness when I have to cook for the family (they don't...

This is a great recipe and a great way to get your veggies in. But commercial Thai (or Vietnamese) spring roll wrappers are by no means raw. They're made out of rice flour, salt, and water, cooked...

I mentioned to my mother that I'd had two bowlfuls of hijiki salad for lunch and dinner today. Then she sent me this link...

I have been using my Breville for 5 months now. I love it! The wide chute makes it so convenient since you don't need to cut your fruits and veggies into small pieces. The motor is very powerful....

Hi Denro,

I lived in Thailand for 26 years!

You will never be bored with raw food choices in Thailand. My advice, though, is to stick with raw fruits (buy whole, wash thoroughly, and peel...

Hello everybody,

I'm planning on doing a fruit and veggit juice fast starting tomorrow. I have tried the MC fast with no success. I do admire those of you can do it. I've never lasted longer than...
