Be careful buying almonds despite the delay in the law. Handlers were expecting to have to pasteurize beginning in less than two weeks. Many of them undoubtedly have the infrastructure already, and they may already be using it and labeling the result "raw". Remember to question.

482. Re: almond myth?
I saw your comment. If you haven't noticed, it's entertaining to look at the signature list for the petition and read the comments people have added. They vary from well written arguments against pasteurization to simple indignation.

483. Re: almond myth?
I found interesting this blog entry, which if accurate, discusses some of the ways American consumers might legally buy unpasteurized almonds. Complicated, but we may not be lost after all!

Sources for Truly Raw Almonds
The USDA will required almond growers and processors in California to pasteurized almonds by Sept 1, 2007, to avoid foodborne illness. The FDA will

484. Re: almond myth?
This page from the Almond Board explains a lot more about the terms of the new law. The quotation below is taken from this page and suggests that the only way unpasteurized almonds can be shipped within North America is if the recipient is a manufacturer with a verified pasteurization process in place, or the shipment destination is outside of North America.

485. Re: Almond milk
I've mixed the leftover almond pulp with other ingredients to make salad dressing in the past. I can't say exactly what ingredients, but I've used lemon juice, spices, I forget what else. I haven't made almond milk in a while, though.

486. Re: almond myth?
This is a good article giving an update on the situation:
In essence, the new law requiring "raw" almonds to have been pasteurized was scheduled to take effect this month, but has now been delayed until March, 2008. This may be the first step toward stopping the whole thing, and this is a good time to make protest.

I've used my mandoline slicer to make zucchini pasta. Have any of you who've used these various spiral cutters had an opportunity to compare them with the mandoline's straight-cut strands? Is the result a lot better?

Yes! I don't really like them by themselves, but they're very nutritious and worth using in combination.

489. Re: to make a recipe
What kind of equipment do you have? With the things you listed you could make a kick-ass gazpacho soup, but soups are usually inconvenient for potlucks. Do you have a mandolin slicer or a dehydrator?

490. Re: Getting Started
Most meals I eat plain fruits and veggies, or make salads. At my current stage (about 1 month raw), I am enjoying doing some of the fancy stuff some of the time. I've always done a lot of cooking, and occasionally spending several hours in the kitchen making things is one of the ways I center myself, and I enjoy making dishes I can share with my family who would not consider anything completely u

492. Re: Kombucha
I think kumbucha is raw in essence because it is full of vibrant life. It grows out of the life of the kombucha mother, and though it grows in a medium which is not living to begin with, the end product is alive. I'm not trying to claim this is the only way of looking at it, and as good as I find kombucha to be there are always other good fermented foods for anyone to use who doesn't feel comfort

493. Re: I need help
Angie,
There really isn't any need to make the complicated, highly processed foods, but they can be comforting on occasion. I don't have Ani Phyo's cookbook, but I have a few others. Most days I don't use them, but making an occasional raw lasagna or raw tacos for weekend dinner keeps me from feeling like I'm missing something. Don't worry about them if they don't appeal to you.

I can't give you any advice about ordering produce online, but one thing you might try is to find a good CSA. It doesn't look like there are a lot in and around Jacksonville, but you may find one that delivers or has a pick-up location that is easier for you. They all operate differently, so ask around to find the one that suits you. You may find the right CSA on this site: . You might also ask a

Oceanna: I agree with Khale. Your fridge may be set to too low a temperature. I sometimes have trouble with things getting freezer-burned in the fridge too, but it only happens when I over-stuff the fridge enough to block airflow from the cold air vent.
The other problem that the fridge poses for my veggies is the dehydration action of the fridge which is the standard way modern fridges preven

Suncloud - I haven't tried to see how far I could grow the brown rice, but I will. I can't try it this weekend because I'm traveling, but I'll post when I have more information.

I've sprouted regular brown rice a few times. I've been toying with the idea of trying to make rice milk from sprouted brown rice - it would be much more economical than the almond milk!

I've sprouted the quinoa from my co-op a few times and had very good luck with it (though I haven't taken it past 1-2 days old). If you're having trouble with not all the grains germinating, it may be too old, or you may need to find a different source.

499. Introduction
I signed up here last year when I was first looking at raw and wanted to ask for advice. People here were helpful, but I drifted away and never really gave it a good chance.
I had a challenging year. Though I never ate especially badly I saw that my diet and health were beginning to suffer and I decided to give raw a real chance. I started a month ago, at about 80%, and have been drifting to h

I keep a non-refrigerated salad dressing in a drawer at work (apple cider vinegar, olive oil, spices). I bring salads, fresh fruit, and leftovers from dishes I've made for dinner.
One of my favorite simple workday salads is one I got from "Raw Food Gourmet" by Gabrielle Chavez. 4 cups grated carrot, 1 cup dried cranberries, 1 cup lemon juice, 1 cup orange juice. It's surprisingly fla

I just got this book. I've only tried a couple of recipes, but his "Famous Onion Bread" (dehydrator required) is awesome. There are several other recipes I'm really looking forward to trying. As soon as the apple harvest really gets going here in New York I'm going to make a batch of the "Come Bite Me Apple Cookies". I haven't tried any of the soups yet, but I'm particularly l
