Love: almonds, dates, honey, all kinds of fruits, love love love da fruits (especially tropical, strawberries, cherries... Am not the biggest fan of apples or pears), tomatoes, cucumbers, green leafy salad, avocados, carrots, alfalfa, hemp seed, nori, seaweed mix, it really depends on my mood (last month I had a sushi kick, I guess I had this savoury seaweed thing, I ate it every day, but now, can't say I'm going to run to the kitchen for it).

I don't like (I don't hate it too, but I just can't say they make me drool): other kinds of nuts than almonds (I never had macademia nuts, so about that I can't say anything yet), other sprouts than alfalfa, celery, cauliflower without anything to make it taste better, zucchini (am I the only one here?), cole. When they are put in something else, it's ok, but on their own? I don't think so. Btw, I never had dehydrated food, but must say that it really doesn't appeal to me, especially things containing lots of nuts! Only the very thought! So maybe I don't ever have to buy a dehydrator, now that would be easy...

Favorite: I pretty much eat the raw foods that I like.

Least favorite: Goji berries, I was told that these were a taste between cranberries and cherries, they taste like stale dried up raisins.

[Dutchie]

Favorite: Apple, bananas, strawberrie, cherries, mango
tomato, cumcumber, carrot, oranges

Least Favorite: Grapefruit

[konmai]

Favs.: bananas, coconut, lime/lemon, chili pepper, onion, lettuce, papaya, spinach, tomatoes, cilantro, guava, pears, mango etc... I can't remember right now, b/c sometimes my body says it loves something else for long periods of time.

Dislike: apples, zucchini, parsley, tangerines, hm...don't remember much here either, hehe.

Favorites would be pumpkin seeds, walnuts, pecans, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, carrots, peas, celery, radishes, haricot verts, lentil sprouts and freshly picked strawberries.

Least favorite by far has got the be those corn chips I tried to make. Also don't like avocados or peaches. There are more things I don't like but not to the extent of those things. I actually have to spit them out if they get in my mouth. That's how bad they taste to me.

[Cinnamon]

Favorites-all fruits, mostly bananas, melons, berries, pineapple, mango, papaya, well, all of them! And medjool dates and baby greens.

Least favorites-flax crackers, most heavy raw main dishes (nut based), nori, sprouts, sprouted grains, lots of veggies that I do eat in small amounts but are not my favs like fruits are!

[madmel]

My favourites:
Banana, durian, cashews, onion bread

My least favourites:
Some raw veggies, e.g. broccoli (loved it lightly steamed on SAD) and cauliflower (same)

[Pailani]

f
hate: mushrooms , kale, PAPAYA (eeeeeewww!!!!!!)

It's funny how papaya tastes like it's trying to be a cantaloupe, and just doesn't cut it.

I love:
bananas, pineapple, young coconut, blueberries, cantaloupe, mangoes, grape tomatoes, avocados, oranges, pineapple-banana-spinach smoothies, almond butter, tahini, sunflower seeds, celery (I never liked it before I was raw)

Foods I don't care for:
Kale (but I sometimes put it in smoothies anyway), papaya, green bell peppers

Foods that frustrate me:
apricots, strawberries and plums because I keep buying delicious-looking ones and they're always not ripe and sour

There are so many fruits and recipes I haven't tried; I've never dehydrated anything.

[meinleben]

favorites: coconut water, watermelon, romaine, sprouts, dulse, hemp seeds, avocado, grapefruit, cucumber, blueberries

least favorite: durian, olives, bananas (way too hybrid), nut based gourmet and dehydrated food....that is total junk food in my opinion and tastes bad...

[PDMagnusen]

Hey, everyone.
I guess I must be strange because I don't dislike any raw foods that I can think of.
I usually eat very simple dishes, and I've only tried about a dozen or so dehydrated recipes, so maybe I wouldn't like a lot of them.

As for my favorites: Mangos, Kiwi, Blueberries, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Bananas, Coconuts, and Avocados.

So I'm curious as to why so many people seem to dislike papaya? I can't say I love it, but the taste is very faint to me - not strong enough to dislike.

[Deenasmiles]

My faves: oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, LIMES!!! Yes, I LOVE citrus!

Least favourite: olives, bitter celery, brussel sprouts, mushrooms and papaya!
