Oh, thanks! Tamukha ys that might be, grape syrup. It is a brown liquid. So, I will slowly finish the rest of this bottle -within the rest 5-10% of my non raw diet- and I will not buy another one.

Don't believe that mistake i have done! The first post is ok, I DO take the peel off. Sorry for the confusion! chat, I don't like taking supplements. Plus I don't trust them, don't know what in fact is in there whatsoever.. FDA is backing pharmaceuticals and the big money, getting rich from selling drugs to "fight" man-made diseases.

Correction: Quote SkyFeather ~I personally do not in many raw foods I meant I personally do so in many raw foods The peel from the soft avocados are just fine. The blenders have no issues blending these skins, as they work with much harder to process foods such as carrots and sweet-potatoes. I wash only the beets and sweet-potatoes.

5. Do you take the peel off?

When you put them in the blender, do you take the peel off of them? I personally do not in many raw foods such as: mango, papaya, beets, sweet-potato, cucumber and the avocado with the soft green peel (not the hass variety). Especially in fruits with a green peel, I believe it helps balancing the ph (from what I know fruits are more acidic than alkaline).

7. Half Avocado ??

I see and hear all around from other raw vegans that they eat half avocado per day. I wonder why is that, since -as I know- the avocado fats are "good fats".

I had to watch a YT video to understand how a dehydrator works. Well.. it's an electric device and the lady at the video said she usually sets it on to 140 degrees. And I was thinking.. 140 degrees multiplied to at least 12 hours of operation ?? Wow! what the power consumption digits have to say about that?..

14. Dehydrators

I have heard about raw dehydrated bread and I saw that those that have a dehydrator they use to put also other sort of raw food there (tomatoes, zucchini etc.) I was thinking how healthy and close to raw food is something like this. If I understand right, the dehydrator removes any hydration from the food(s), which is completely the opposite from what a raw vegan wants. In fact a raw vegan has

Is there any other way other than go to your profile and look up aaall the posts you have written in order to find if there were any replies? I find it difficult and time consuming to check all those threads and I am newbie here with relative new topics/replies. I mean, at my 'profile page>show all posts' there isn't even an order according to the new replies to be put on top of the rest.

21. 50% raw vegan since Nov. 2011 and growing

Interesting changes I have observed in my body -to share with you all here- when I started with my 50% raw vegan diet (Nov. 2011) and even most interesting whenever I reach 70% (mostly the past month). Specifically: - My hair volume have thickened - I feel vibrant and more energetic with more stamina - Much-much fewer teeth problems! - Greatly reduced body odor (or eliminated in many cases

22. Re: Parsley.....Juice it? Blend it? or just Eat it?

Sometimes I chop it fine and add it to my salad, other times I put it in the blender to add at the smoothie taste and some other times (not often) I eat a couple of leaves raw to feel my breath and mouth cleaner. Thanks for the link. I would never imagine that mastication had to do with the increase of strength. Great points also that the more one masticates the less food needs to consume. Ver

Yes Raw4ever and the most crazy thing is, I know and I have realized how bad sugar is for my overall health, but it's such a sweet and sneaky assassin.
