Thanks again MK, I've actually been having cruciferous veg raw for a long time, although I'm not sure about quantities and if they'd even be enough to cause any affect but I've never noticed anything...

I know the view of listening to your body etc, but people downing 2l of coke a day might say they feel fine too but its scientifically not healthy to do such a thing and the effects of it may only...

Thanks :) What about rolled oats? Are they classed as raw? I know the "Gluten free" depends on harvesting methods and oats themselves are infact gluten free but aren't usually stated as such as they...

Found Chai in two separate places today and unfortunately due to the cost, it's not going to meet the goal of this thread. 450gms was €16!! To give an idea, 250gms of cashew nuts is about €4.50, so...

Thanks, will keep an eye out for it and give it a test run :)

Interesting, had to google it and it says it's like a turnip, I don't think it'd work if it tasted like a turnip though? :)

That'd be interesting, how does it taste? If it's anything like Turnip I don't think it'd work :)

Must try Chia out! have never actually used it. How would 1kg compare price wise to say, Organic almonds (which are about €5 per 250gm here) would anyone know?

Thanks for the reply. I've used Irish Moss before (I'm in Ireland ;) ) and although it's a good thickener, it's not really a thickener I'm after, but more something tasteless that can be used to just...

Any other suggestions on this? :) Can quinoa just be soaked for a few hours and then dried in a dehydrator at all? Would that work?

Hi folks,
I'm exploring the idea of selling a product somewhat related to the "raw" lifestyle. I'm just wondering are a lot of you overly fussy on what packaging products you buy, come in? Obviously...

Aha, thanks for catching that :D

So with high oxolates like spinach, I add some vit C
With cruciferous, I add sources of iodine such as seaweed, but in general I can add seaweed to anything.
...

That's good to know, thanks a lot. now just have to think of something that would go with cruciferous veg that's high in vit c :) Might start buying some seaweed too, although I'm right beside the...

Well I don't mind a little bit of nuts, but just for nuts not to be such a huge % of the overall recipe as they usually are with desserts, and to still have a thick and filling dessert with a bit of...

Folks, any suggestions on the best "filler" to use? I make a lot of desserts including cake, pudding etc and the ingredients always tend to be expensive and a lot of the filler high fat. When I say...

Thanks again folks, just read that link from joyce.

Mary, are you saying I should be adding a source of Vit C to a spinach and banana smoothie to make it better for me? Also, I wonder would...

Thanks again for the input, might have to do that alright, I'm by no means a strict raw foodist anyway, the main hassle in this would be having to worry about spinach as I add them a lot to...

Thanks a lot for the continued feedback folks. A lot of new terminology and numbers above which I've never even heard of. I hate bloodtests for a start so I wouldn't be the type to volunteer for one...

Yeah, well I haven't felt anything strange after eating such foods ever so will keep an eye out :)

Thanks for that, damn, they are all my most commonly eaten veg! So this is well known I guess even though I've had my underactive thyroid 15 years and only heard it now. What to do what to do?

Thanks for the reply, sorry, but I'm not sure what Goitrogenic is the term of? :D And what are brassicas? :o

Thanks for the replies folks. I know you can feel good after something, probably a lot can be to do with your head that you think you're eating great food, but I'd rather not continue even if I do...

I recently heard that a specific type of veg group, which I forget the name of, but the family includes broccoli, cauliflower, kale and a few others, can have bad side effects for people with an...

Baking soda can have a lot of health benefits so I don't see any reason why it should be off your diet list. I've read a bit on it the past few days. There's baking soda made through a chemical...

I found this page. Expensive, but looks like good quality stuff: http://thenaturalsleepstore.com/organic-blankets.html

If there's anything similar in Europe, any links would be appreciated!
