Guest guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 They got lost in the hullaballoo when that in-duh-vidual was deluging us with off-topic posts. So nobody seemed to notice my questions. Here they are again: I bought some raw nuts on my last trip to the HFS. I don't eat them in great quantities, so should I keep them in the freezer? One thing I bought was some raw apricot kernels, and they are yummy! I thought they would make a good nut butter, I would like to try running them through the blender. They are soaking in my fridge. Do you add oil or Celtic sea salt? I would also like to hear of some meal ideas for hurried evenings after work and brown bag lunches. Something that I can get on the table in a reasonable amount of time that will also appeal to my SAD husband (who at least like veggies and salads) Another question: on seeds. I saved seeds from papaya and a cherimoya. I wondered about sprouting or otherwise eating these seeds - also saving them maybe from melons and squash. Doubtless they should be hulled prior to eating or sprouting for food. How does one go about that, or is it too much of a pain in the patootie? How could I grow my cherimoya seeds, do they need to be soaked, or whatever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that I can get on the > table in a reasonable amount of time that will also appeal to my SAD husband (who at least like veggies and salads) > Hi, Getting quick meal ideas together is a problem for me too; it's one reason I'm not as raw as I'd like to be. But some things that have worked pretty well: For lunch, I wrap lettuce leaves around sandwich fillings (in my case, avocado, tomato and onion) and just hold it together like a wrap while I eat it. Someone else on here suggested adding a raw salsa to that, and it sounds like a great idea. I posted some raw salsa recipes earlier on this site. I haven't tried it, but I thought a fruit salad would be good for lunch, just some apples, bananas and grapes chopped up together. For dinner, I more often give into cooked food, but here are a couple ideas: Veggies marinara: I threw some tomatoes, onion, garlic, fresh oregano and fresh basil into a food processor to make some marinara sauce. If you allow spices, you could add pepper and salt or soy sauce. If you're fond of sweeter sauces, like Prego, you could probably add some fruit or fruit juice to sweeten. Then I just chopped up some broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms and green peppers and ate them covered in the sauce. Of course I ate avocado & raw sunflower seeds on the side to satisfy the need for a little fat. Sushi rolls: Get some dried nori sheets, avocado and cucumber. Slice the avocado and cucumber into slices, lay a couple along a nori sheet, and roll up. Wet your fingers with water to make the nori stick together. Then slice the roll into bite-sized chunks, and repeat with another sheet of nori. If you allow spices, you can dip the rolls in soy sauce or Braggs liquid aminos, and have pickled ginger and wasabi on the side. There's a raw food restaurant across the street from my apartment and I heard they sell raw " pizza crusts " made out of sprouted something-or-other. So another idea I have is to get some of those, lightly warm them, and top with avocado, spinach, tomato, red onion and maybe olives (don't know about their raw status) to make a veggie pizza. I haven't tried it yet but I've had something similar at the restaurant and it was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 >If you allow spices, you > can dip the rolls in soy sauce or Braggs liquid aminos, and have > pickled ginger and wasabi on the side. Braggs Liquid Aminos has glutamic acid in it...a toxic substance also found in MSG (monosodium glutamate) so if you want a salty liquid, I would stick to Shoyu or Tamari.... they are at least relatively non- toxic. I used Braggs before I knew what was in it and it made me really sick.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 I'm sorry to have to tell you guys this but Nama Shoyu supposedly has some form of MSG in it as well. This was according to Dr. Graham. He said something to the effect that any soy sauce was bad just due to either the processing or the ingredients necessary to make it. Sorry I no longer remember exactly what he said. He did however specifically mention Nama Shoyu as off limits. Roger Haeske P.S.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 It's the Tamari that is supposedly the best b/c it's fermented soy. Otherwise soy is bad.
