Date: July 09, 2008 05:49PM Hi guys
I am new to this and would like to ask you a few questions. I am going to try to follow a 50% raw food diet. I don't think I am able to go more than that for several reasons, including being pregnant. I have millions of questions but lets start with a couple. I hear to eat lentils I should let them steep in water until soft. They can then be eaten, right? Any other foods that can be eaten like this? Cheek peas perhaps? Can I eat kidney beans at all? Also, I have read it is better to leave nuts in water to release the enzimes? How long for? I was also thinking of getting and all raw-breakfast. I was thinking of mixing nuts with seeds, dry foods and maybe fresh fruits with some oats. Should I let the oat steep in water as well? And then this mixture do you eat it dry, or with water, or what? Thanks all in advance Re: I am new

You cannot eat kidney beans raw! You can, however, sprout lentils and eat them that way. I buy myy raw oat groats HERE. Most of the commercial oats in stores are not truly raw. I soak mine and eat it with nut milk, dried fruit and spices (basically an unheated version of oatmeal.) As to nuts... well when I do soak them its usually for a couple of hours max. Theres a lot of great threads on nuts and and general newbie questions. You can use the search feature at the top of the forum. Theres actually a few threads on being pregnant and raw that might interest you.
