Carrot preservation,

[Guest guest]

Rhonda,

 

Carrots should be stored at 40 degrees Fahrenheit with air circulation.

i.e. better out of those packets.

 

In fact nearly all vegetables will keep for weeks in these conditions

especially if there is no temperature fluctuation.

 

Easy really because most refrigerators run at about that temperature.

[Raw Food] Juice Fasting

 

 

 

Hi everyone! I am still in my first month of raw food, and decided

to start my first juice fast a few days early. I wasn't hungry when

I woke up yesterday (rare for me) and I had all my produce ready, so

I decided I would start immediately. I started with filtered water,

and thought I'd have my first juice when I felt hungry. That wasn't

until late afternoon! I had 2 glasses of carrot/kale/cucumber juice

last night. This morning I was not hungry, but I started with an 8

ox grapefruit juice at 10:00.

 

I am really excited about juice fasting, and am anticipating detox

symptoms to start any time. I am planning a 2 week fast, but may

extend it up to 4 weeks if I am still feeling great about not

eating.

 

I live in a small community with NO organic food available at the

local store. I talked to the produce manager and he ordered organic

carrots for me. I asked for 20 pounds to start, but their supplier

only ships it in 24- 2lb bags. I took the whole 48 pounds.

 

I have an extra fridge in our cabin (on the same property), so I put

most of it there. Any suggestions on how to keep carrots fresh for

a while would be greatly appreciated!

 

I also bought some parsley as I read it has anti-inflammatory

properties. Has anyone tried parsley for this before? I went off

all of my medications for the fast, and have herniated discs in my

back. I haven't been able to miss my Naprosyn for 3 years without

severe pain, but I'm hoping to control the inflammation naturally.

 

Thanks for all the advice and encouragement this group provides!

 

Rhonda
