A question about potatoes in the Raw food diet

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I'm in the same position as you. I'm not 100% raw, but I want to be. I live with two kids and a man who all eat meat.I heard David Wolfe of Nature's First Law say that potatoes had little to no nutritional value. I LOVE potatoes, especially mashed potatoes. I tried making the cauliflower recipe for mashed potatoes from Juliano's cookbook- but it wasn't quite the same.

I'm hoping to devote greater attention to raw foods uncooking in the next few months as we approach summer.

Blessings and best wishes

Greetings group,

 

My name is Cherie and although I joined this group a couple of weeks ago, this is my first post.

 

I am not 100% raw as of yet, but working towards it!

 

I've noticed when I visit various raw foods websites and groups, I never see any mention of potatoes when recipes or raw food ingredients are mentioned. I never see dehydrated recipes for "potato chips" (with the exception of sweet potatoes) and when I saw a recipe for "mashed potatoes", the ingredient used was cauliflower instead of the real thing.

 

So, my question is, what is wrong with potatoes? Why are thy not incorporated into a raw foods diet? Is it because they have little to no nutritional value, because they are too starchy or what?

 

 

Thanks in advance!

 

 

Cherie

Greetings Cherie:

 

In reference to your question about potatoes I will direct you to a

website where you can find lots of information on hundreds of topics

pertaining to your health and issues that you won't ordinarily read

about in your daily paper. I suggest also, if you haven't already,

to refer back to " 's " archives for message numbers 73, 109,

161, 184, 212 and 217. They list numerous websites of interest full

of information for beginners into raw foods and those who have been

raw for a while. Sure, there's quite a bit of reading but it has to

be done.

 

Follow the link below and in your spare time visit the site

regularly. Everything you find there has been carefully researched

and documented.
