I have been soaking raw garbonzo beans and red kidney beans for a few days now to soften them. I need help because I do not know how to make them edible. Do I need to cook this food item? If so, can you recommend the most effective way to do this. I am dying for some raw chili!
thanks!

I have soaked gabanzo beans and red kidney beans for days now. How do I make them edible? I tried heating them to 100-105 degrees...to no avail :0(
Are them items that will have to be cooked? Please help!
Thanks

I purchased raw beans today. It says to soak them overnight in cold water. I imagine that is to soften them. Are they edible to eat after that? Do they need to be warmed at all?
Beans purchased: Red Kidney Beans
Gabonzo Beans...mainly for my salads
Black Beans
Any help is welcomed! Thanks in advance!!

At my local health food store I purchase Raw oatmeal. It is called Steele Oatmeal. You need to soak it over-night...it expands a little. I then warm it to 100 degrees on the stove and add my flax seed and raw sugar. It is VERY good!

5. Re: Barleans
Thanks Sunneee. I have returned my Barleans to the store owner. I was having trouble with burping it up as well. For whatever set of reasons, I am not able to do liquid greens. I tried seaweed years ago and had the same trouble.
Thanks again for your advice :0)

16. Lov'in My JUICER
Hey all! I have been lovin my juicer! It is a Hamilton Beach. The only thing I have been surprised at is how much fruit it takes to get juice! It takes a lot of fruit to make a small cup. I did a whole bag of carrots 1lbers, and the entire bag only gave me way less than half a Dasani water bottle. Should I add water to it? I did apple juice last night. I used 4 Fuji apples. I kept it in the fridg

Had my doc appointment this morning and it went VERY well. He says he is impressed with my new lifestyle. In 2 months I go for some lab work...just to check things like my liver, cholesterol, trigyl, cbc...stuff like that. Then in 6mons. I go back to see him AND have another panel of blood-work done this time including the thyroid. I can officially reduce my medication intake...from 3x's/day to 2

I am going to look at juicers today. I just need one for one person...so nothing fancy or big.
Can anyone suggest a good juicing apple? Also, is there a type of apple tha tis better for applesauce than what I have been using...Empire apples. They make the sauce a little tart.
Thank You!

My dinner consisted of Raw slaw, raw applsauce and a chick pea pattie (Morning star)
I made an appointment with my doctor to discuss taking less of some medication I am on. I am looking to cut down by 1 pill. I take this medication 3x's/day. I have been forgetting to take my lunch one and I have felt ok. I attribute that to the raw food lifestyle. Also tomorrow, I am going to NOT take nexium.

I think your post is just fine. These are YOUR feelings and should be judged OR corrected. Yes, cutting has many a personal meaning to whoever is doing it. Some want to die some do not. Usually cutting is refered to when someone inflicts harm onto themselves as a way of "relieving themselves of hurt, shame or whatever. In your case Jodi, I totally got it Your a true survivor and I am honore

29. I Need HELP!
Hey! How do I go about making Apple Juice? I do not have a press by which to obtain the juice. Do I just blend up an apple until it is a liquid? When I make applesauce, I chop it in the blender...do I just keep doing it until it is mush?
I need alternatives to drinking water. I am getting board with water. What about any other fruit: oranges? Can someone please walk me through this?!
thanks
