Date: May 16, 2007 12:47AM Greetings! This may be a silly question, but is air popped popcorn considered as part of a Raw diet???? and, where do folks get raw nuts? Thanks! I know I'll have more questions as I move along on a Raw Foods journey!!! Deb Re: popcorn????

1) No...but if it helps you transition...then eat it by the bagful! 2) Usually from local health food stores....or direct from home growers on e-bay. -David Z. Mason WWW.RawFoodFarm.com Re: popcorn????

Date: May 16, 2007 06:18PM Thank you all for your replies, but I am curious why organic popcorn popped in an air popper isn't okay for Raw, but prob. has to do with the temp needed for it to pop?I can't imagine that it is over 115*, but maybe it is...or does something need to happen to the kernals to prep. them for popping??!!! We make this frequently for our kids/family snack and I just couldn't help but wonder......?! Deb Re: popcorn????

Date: May 16, 2007 06:56PM Okay, I confess, popcorn is my addiction... I treat myself to air-popped popcorn about 2 or 3 times per week... it really helps me stay on my journey and also stay away from worse things. I gently melt raw, organic coconut oil over top and sprinkle with sea salt. I was feeling really guilty about it until someone said hey, it's probably worse for your health to feel so guilty than to eat the popcorn itself.
But no, popcorn is definately cooked. Re: popcorn????

Date: May 16, 2007 10:45PM well said ferg...i am learning that as well, that no matter how well i eat, my stress and overthinking the whole food issue will be what makes me feel bad or sabotages my efforts!
sometimes it's important to just eat what you feel like without beating yourself up about it. from an eating-disordered background, thats a lot easier to say than to do, but i am working on it. Re: popcorn????
