Can you even eat pinto beans raw (sprouted)? I thought there were only a few that you could. Garbanzo, lentils, adzuki and mung if I remember right. I think there are toxins in most raw beans,...

I should tell my mom - she won't wear shorts anymore because of hers.

I don't have any pictures to post, but I just have to say I *heart* this thread. :)

I read that nuts should not be given until 9 months. (That was on Dr. Fuhrman's site: http://www.diseaseproof.com/archives/healthy-parenting-590-foods-to-keep-away-from-babies.html)

There's a recipe for cinnamon rolls here: http://www.waldorfhomeschoolers.com/rawrecipe.htm It's the same recipe that is in Alissa's book. I haven't made them yet but they are on my "to try" list. I...

You can say that again! Your dessert tray looks very gourmet and decadent.

Fresh medjool dates are soooooo good. They taste just like caramel, or English toffee, to me. There are only a couple of supemarkets here that have them and they are about $7.99/lb (Canadian) but...

Hmm, I'll have to give that a try. :)

I love looking at the pics in this thread! It always inspires me to try new recipes.

Just to offer a different POV...proper nutrition is so critical at that age, a formula may actually be better than a homemade "milk" since formula is made to (as closely as possible) resemble human...

Nama Shoyu in fudge? Seems...odd. Can you taste it?

Oh, thanks for the clarification. I thought you were saying that is his entire diet.

My cat is a non-raw carnivore, but my little herbivore (guinea pig) is mostly raw, expect for the pellets I...

Do you supplement his diet with anything? I have heard of veg*n dogs developing serious health problems from deficiencies in certain things...L-carnitine, taurine, Vitamin D, B12, etc. I'm not saying...

I think there are others here who subscribe to Frederic Patenaude's newsletter...has anyone read the recent one on sea veggies which states that nori is not actually vegetarian, because fish end up...

I've been thinking about trying one of those...let us know what it's like, okay?

flutterfly - It's also called a pitahaya. Here's a pic:

I find it actually tastes better the next day. I made it yesterday, liked it, put the leftovers in the fridge overnight. Ate it again today and loved it. (Also, my mom didn't like it yesterday and...

I'm not sure about the peanuts but seeing as they are technically legumes, not nuts, it seems like it would make sense to sprout them...but I have never seen/eaten raw peanuts, so I really don't...

I knew some of those pics did not look raw... :rolleyes:

Strawberries
Avocados
Banana ice cream
Fresh medjool dates
Really ripe tomatoes

Replied...thanks again. :)

I live in Canada and I can't find an online source of raw carob powder that I can afford...to order one bag of carob powder from Alissa it is $23 US to ship it to Canada!!! Other sites I have found...

The supermarket I shop at just recently started getting in fresh medjool dates. I had never had fresh ones before - wow! They taste JUST like caramel. Anyway, I'm wondering how long they will keep...

I just got a reply from McCann's, here is what they said:

McCann's Oats are not raw. They are heated, not steamed, in the process of separating the kernel from the husk.

I think steel-cut oats are sometimes steamed, sometimes raw, like most things it probably depends on the brand. I saw those at the supermarket the other day and was actually going to e-mail them to...

The cancer thing is probably due to acrylamides (a carcinogen). They have been found in peanut butter, and I think other roasted nut butters as well.

I'm a bit confused about the raw peanuts -...
