I take it you sprouted your black eyed peas? How are they? I've been curious about these myself. Re: What's on your RAW menu? (v2)

Date: January 18, 2015 12:57AM I am sorry to say that I cooked them. I actually never tried sprouting blackeyed peas but they would probably be good that way because they cook quickly.
I found previously in my sprouting days that the quicker cooking beans made the best sprouts (adzuki, mung, lentil). Blackeyed peas would also be in this group. Re: What's on your RAW menu? (v2)

Date: January 19, 2015 11:42PM I didn't have much fruit today but beaucoup de feuilles:
2 huge salads: redleaf, romaine, arugula, dill, parlsey, carrot, onion, tomato, red and green bell pepper, walnut (2 @ 12 cups each). I didn't get cukes this week because they weren't on sale and I am really missing them. 1 huge coleslaw, used the juice of an orange and ground sesame seeds for dressing on shredded red and green cabbage, carrot, golden delicious apple, onion, celery, and walnut (about 8 cups). I love fruit but I am more comfortable with lots of leaves and nonsweet fruit rather than unlimited sweet fruit. It may be only psychological, knowing that there are more vitamins and minerals in leaves. Also today is my last day of a 3-day break--during breaks I have more time to lavish on salads. Wild howler monkeys eat mainly wild figs unless they aren't available, and only then will they eat leaves. But they eat the young, tender baby leaves. So I understand that my choices are not really natural. But neither is super super sweet fruit. I don't have all the answers, but if I were allowed to pick one person's brain for answers it would not be the brain of a raw guru. It would probably be the brain of Luigi Fontana. At the moment I believe he is our best guiding light. Re: What's on your RAW menu? (v2)

Date: February 04, 2015 03:20PM I love all the photos here -- very different diets, but all inspirational. I've really been needing that lately.
Just water and peppermint tea so far. I am preparing for a mono-diet, so for the next couple of days I will be enjoying green smoothies and mono-meals until the fridge is clean. Lots of oranges, bok choy, bell peppers. So far though, I'm looking forward to a pineapple-cilantro smoothie for lunch and some snow peas for dinner. I am also on a cauliflower kick -- totally going to miss that while chowing down on bananas. Re: What's on your RAW menu? (v2)

Date: February 07, 2015 05:30AM Summer is here, and that will mean two weeks of doing high fruit. I will feel bruised and battered after 2 weeks of apricots and will be glad when it's over, but they are one of my favourite fruits and l can do a Dr Morse and use them to cleanse me. Will be a nice change, but always glad to get back onto 90% + sprout diet.
The next 2 weeks will be on the menu: * lots of apricots * lots of sprouted chia seeds * lots of fermented walnuts * lots of coconut * lots of sprouted greens * seaweeds * algaes www.thesproutarian.com Edited 1 time(s).

I hope those apricots are good ones. you'll need about 100 per day to put a dent in your energy needs I would think. and what do you mean "cleanse me"? your regular diet requires periodic cleanses?

No farm bought apricots are good ones imo, they need to be picked fully ripe straight off the tree. These are from my local farm. > > you'll need about 100 per day to put a dent in > your energy needs I would think. > I ate my first apricot yesterday and l knew l had made a mistake by buying them. I scolded myself for being so foolish and nearly threw them all out in the compost. The sprouts taste much better than fruits (more flavour) and they also give more power. Don't feel near as good on fruit, nor do l feel satisfied. The sprouts make me feel solid, the fruit never satisfies nor stabilises...l feellike a fish out of water on the fruit, and l DON'T LIKE IT!!! 4 pieces of fruit per day is more than enough for me. > > and what do you mean "cleanse me"? No sure, but fruit is supposed to have special cleansing powers that other foods don't have. For eg, when l eat fruit l always get saw gums as puss rises to the surface under my teeth. My sprout diet never does this, but cleanses other areas more thoroughly. A diet of 99.5% sprouts is my preference (1 tablespoon for sea weed and 1 tablespoon for algae, and 1 tablespoon of fat every second day and the rest sprouts). Regardless, l try to eat more fruit to increase my potassium. Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 02/08/2015 01:24AM by The Sproutarian Man. Re: What's on your RAW menu? (v2)

Date: February 08, 2015 01:38AM TSM, don't throw out the best part of the apricots - the seeds inside the pits. That's the part I buy from apricot trees. Re: What's on your RAW menu? (v2)

Date: February 08, 2015 03:11AM Today I ate a lot. I have more time for food on weekends.
A huge salad: romaine, red leaf lettuce, cuke, green bell pepper, alfalfa sprout, onion, tomato, walnut, carrot, mint. A huge fruit salad: papaya, black grape, pineapple, gala apple, red grapefruit, navel orange, banana, walnut, pumpkin seed, blackberry, blueberry, raspberry. Cooked soup with collard greens, red chard, yellow and green split peas, onion, carrot, sweet potato, tomato, celery, onion, mushroom. About 2 tsp of EVOO added, plus red wine vinegar. Groceries were only $38 this week. That's about $60 less than usual. I have found the secret: going to my local independent grocer on Friday just after lunch, they put a bunch of older stuff out half price, average $0.50/lb. I have to eat it quickly, though. I share with my dogs. Re: What's on your RAW menu? (v2)

Date: February 08, 2015 05:46AM Sprouty, Dr. Morse emphasizes astringent fruits for healing, so don't think that pure apricots is so great for cleansing. Nevertheless, because they are usually so sweet, they can be mixed with non-sweet healing things for balance. My ex business partner used to make a liver medicine with a unique Chinese vinegar and unripe apricots. So, I think unripe or fully ripe apricots have potential.
If I had that many apricots as you bought, I probably would juice some and squeeze some lemon in and mix with green juice like dinosaur kale, which is higher in calcium and a little bitter, which blends well with the sweet apricots and maybe add a little cucumber. Another idea is you like dandelions, so you could juice dandelion with the apricot. If you juice the apricot individually first, you could dehydrate the pulp. This is how I deal with super sweet fruit and bitter greens. Re: What's on your RAW menu? (v2)

Date: February 08, 2015 08:16AM I am currently SOOOO in love with Bliss bars! If you have never had one, they are organic, raw, vegan chocolate bars that are blowing my mind right now. Sugar free, and full of superfoods. I have not found a bar like this that quite compares. Their website is blisssuperfoods.com
Also, when I am in a tropical place, Soursop pretty much dominates my raw palate. I live on the west coast of the united states... so almonds, walnuts, peaches, nectarines, plums, and tons of berries are my jam. Kale chips, mustard green chips, and sun dried tomatoes too! Giving thanks for the dehydrator and the vita mix Re: What's on your RAW menu? (v2)
