Guest guest Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 For Salad Dressing I often take what I have in the fridge. Celery, spinach, seaweed, olives, add a little water and blend in the vita-mix. It comes out very good everytime. I also use humus and my nut dishes as dressings.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 Is this what you are talking about? Most processed food contains free glutamates. The most common glutamate in food is mono-sodium glutamate, commonly called MSG which actually is a trade name for mono-sodium glutamate. Glutamates occur naturally in food but it is the free glutamates that cause adverse health reactions for many people, estimated at 30% of the population. Among the products that contain glutamates as the main ingredient to enhance taste of food are miso, soy sauce, liquid amino and hydrolyzed protein, and bouillons. Liquid Aminos is incorrectly promoted as a non fermented health product. Actually the healthier and tastier products of the same category are miso, fermented soy sauce, and fermented sauce bean paste because they contain naturally occurred vitamin B group. In these products the taste enhancer is the sodium salt of glutamic acid. They cannot be used as substitute of table salt for those on sodium restricted diet. The cheapest soy sauce is the non fermented kind which extremely cheap to produce like Liquid Aminos. These products are not labeled as mono-sodium glutamate because to be qualified as mono-sodium glutamate the products must contain 99% mono-sodium glutamate, according to FDA regulations. Glutamates are metal compounds of glutamic acid. Glutamic acid C3H9O4N is one of the amino acids found in proteins. Glutamates are found naturally abundance in sea weeds. Glutamates were isolated from sea weed by a Japanese scientist. Commercial productions usually are performed by hydrolyzing grain or soy protein using enzyme or hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid method is much more faster and economical, usually taking a few hours to hydrolyze the protein in soy or grains, while the enzyme method might take days or weeks. Enzymes are used in making real soy sauce and the better ones are made with enzymes where fermentation processes take as long as ten months. Enzymes cost much more than hydrochloric acid. When the author was studying chemical technology more than forty years ago, the text books at that time usually mentioned that glutamates were good for cleansing the liver to get rid of toxins. This could be an unfounded opinion. Glutamates are usually tasteless but they can enhance the taste of food, especially sea food and meat. They have little effect on vegetables and other plant products. Glutamates include mono-sodium glutamate, marketed as Aji no moto , wei jing , and MSG. Over-usage of glutamates can have adverse effects, including headache, on some people. Products that contain glutamates as the main ingredient to enhance taste of food are miso, soy sauce, Bragg's Liquid Aminos and hydrolyzed protein. Many migraine sufferers and ALS patients can be allergic to glutamates. Glutamates are neural toxins. Long term use with large amount can cause memory loss according various studies.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 I have been using Braggs for the better part of 8-9 years and nobody has ever brought this to my attention. Thanks for the info; I’m going to look into this further. I just joined this group last week and I have learned a bunch in a short time. I have been doing raw for close to 2 years and other forms for almost 18 now. The RAW books that I have also use Braggs. I guess they are out of date.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 I have never thought of Braggs as food. More of a supplement, but anyhow after reviewing all the posts I think the best bet is to just eliminate. Everybody is very strong on no Garlic. I have been eating it (Minced) Raw for some time, but I think I will remove it from the mix for a while. I did like the strong bite it added to my almost complete salad. LOL The fresh parsley counteracted the bad breath. Oh I love the parsley. I would never make a meal out of just Garlic. There are some silly people in here. Thanks for all of the good advise, Bruce The New with improved product search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 I think there is a definite place for garlic and the onion family for people who are on a cooked diet. It will kill off a lot of bacteria in the stomach which overall will provide relief which they need. On a raw diet, I trust the great Dr. Shelton. Onion family causes digestive problems There is no reason to doubt that all the members of the onion family-onions, garlic, leeks, shallots, chives, etc. -as well as radishes and all other foods containing appreciable amounts of mustard oil, because they occasion irritation of the stomach and intestines as they occasion irritation of the mouth and throat, inhibit digestion. Horseradish and mustard are especially strong in occasioning irritation, but ordinary white and red radishes occasion considerable irritation. There seems to be no good reason why we should eat such items. It seems that it is the part of wisdom to refrain from eating practices that retard, inhibit and impair digestion, rather than to eat in the indiscriminate and haphazard manner that is common and then resort to drugs to palliate the resulting discomfort. To avoid discomfort by avoiding its cause is certainly preferable to deliberately inviting trouble and then seeking to palliate it with drugs that are worse in their damaging effects than the foods, food additives and combinations that are responsible for the initial trouble.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Viveca, I will have to wait until I am a little more advanced to try this one! I am not much on dates and I do not like tahini at all, so I am wondering if I would even like this one. Does the garlic offset the sweetness?

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Carson, I tried a new salad dressing recipe today. It also has orange juice in it, but I don't think I really tasted it much. It also said it could be a dip. I tried dipping a carrot in it, and it was tasty. I don't care for tahini much myself. It isn't bad in the dressing though. This other one has dates, but you don't taste them. Of course, you could try omitting them. Instead of lime, I used lemon. I'll give it to you. You don't have to try it. Maybe someone else wants to try it. Tangy Orange Dressing yield: 3 cups 15 minutes to prepare 2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice 1 stalk celery 2-4 pitted dates 1/2 cup fresh parsley juice of 1 lime 1. Soak the sunflower seeds for 8 to 12 hours; rinse. 2. In a blender, puree the sunflower seeds, orange juice, clery, dates, parsley, and lime juice. 3. Chill and serve, or serve at room temperature. this is great as a dip also, thichkened with more sunflower seeds. This recipe is from Warming Up To Living Foods. Maybe someone else has a recipe that they've tried that isn't sweet at all. I will try to find another one that is more traditional.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hi Jessica, This is my personal recipe. I hope you like it. I take olive oil and a very small amount of mustard seed oil and honey, mix them up add a pinch of sea salt or rock salt(this does smell for a few minutes)and red or black pepper for taste. I add all this to my salad. I like it spicy, but you can add or subtract what you want. You can also try lemon juice, honey and olive oil. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hi Chris, A dressing can be as simple as you want it. First prepare according to the flavor that you want and try some of these ingredients: Nama Shoyu Fresh Lemon/Lime Juice OR Balsamic, Red or White Wine Vinegar Nutritional Yeast (for a creamy consistency) Agave' for a sweet taste. A splash of X-V Olive Oil, Sesame Oil, Virgin Coconut Oil or no oil at all Chopped Fresh Herbs of choice: parsley cilantro dill rosemary basil(cinnamon, lemon, lime, holy, red leaf, parisian, sweet, genovese, common) cayenne minced garlic/onion Sorry, I don't have exact proportions so you'll have to play around with it. Shake well in a glass bottle and see what you come up with. A good mixture will keep for about a week without refrigeration if lemon or lime juice is not included.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Hi John, I crush fennel seeds in olive oil and add salt and pepper. It takes about 30 seconds. Or I use hummus as a dressing. Or pesto in season.
