Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Walnuts are rich in Omega 3. So are leafy green vegetables. As far as dates. Yes you can get them raw. But many of the big brands do steam them. The organic medjools are usually raw. I sometimes order from the Date People out in California. You'll probably have to look for another option. Roger Do You Have These Problems With Your Raw Food Diet? 1. You fear that you aren't getting enough nutrients like protein, calcium, and B12. 2. You have been eating raw but aren't getting the results you expected. 3. You fear eating fruit because of its sugar content and hybridization.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 All, As there was no answer to my question of dates from a date palm being fresh or heat treated, may I reiterate it today? Also are flax seeds as sold in health food shops normally heat treated? Since most seeds area guess they might be. In which case I would need another source of Omega 3. Does anybody know?

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 >Also are flax seeds as sold in health food shops normally heat treated? - The essential test is to try and sprout a few. If they sprout, they're live. Flax is tough to sprout because the seeds float and don't like to absorb water. Just put a small weight over them in water for a couple of days and then watch for any sprouts after a couple more days. rusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Thanks Rusty, Now I have the answer. They never sprout. They just go to a mush. Makes me wonder where to get omega 3. Any ideas Peter L.Win [rustym] 07 November 2003 18:08 rawfood Re: [Raw Food] Heat treating >Also are flax seeds as sold in health food shops normally heat treated? - The essential test is to try and sprout a few.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Thanks Roger, Fresh Walnuts are seasonal here. Now I can get them. If leafy green vegetables have Omega 3 I will check the tables. I have seen tables and should have them myself.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 I buy mine from The Optimum Health Institute in San Diego. I always can count on Organic, Raw, and Fresh. They have a very high seed turnover and they are always fresh. Bernadette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
