Focus on high water-content foods: Fruitarian and leafy greens

[Guest guest]

Hi D'vorah and all,

 

Green leaves are essential in a healthful, lifelong human diet. Nuts and

seeds are not. In fact nuts and seeds bring in large quantities of dry

content containing excessive fats and indigestible fiber, a mixture that

slows our digestive system considerably, dehydrates us, and reduces our

energy and vitality, particularly when consumed with any frequency.

 

Best,

[Raw Food] Fruitarian and leafy greens

 

 

I am THINKING about moving toward fruitarian. This will include the

usual fruits as we know them and " fruit " veggies, seeds, nuts, etc...

If I give up leafy greens such as spinach and lettuce, along with

carrots, what other plants will supply me with the same nutrients?

I am currently sprouting.

Thank you and I just love this group

Oh, if you mean you would like to grow your own greens, then fabulous,

marvelous, bravo, and so forth!!!!! And if you travel that path, you can

grow a mix of what are commonly called " sprouts " (sunflower, pea shoots,

etc.) AND lettuces. Just harvest the lettuces by the leaf rather than by the

head, let them stay in the soil long enough to go to seed. (You can even

collect the seeds, if there is a real indoor farmer inside you. :)

I have just recently sprouted my first sunflower seeds. It was absolutely

wonderful to see them grow into tiny plants and TASTEY. I live in an apartment

with no place to garden. This satisfied my green thumb urge.

Ok...fruitarian with sprouts!!!

Thank you for the info and encouragement.

Fruits are indeed high in water content, but most leafy greens--though very

nutritious--are not, according to Gabriel Cousens' book Conscious Eating.

Fruitarian and raw thoughts..I like just going out to a plant and picking

" fruit " off the tree, bush, vine, whatever and eating without destroying. Seems

so natural. This leaves fruits for the rest of the season as apposed to ripping

up a plant we normally use for greenery. Makes good economical sense also. I

think also the higher off the ground we eat , the chances of the food source

being cleaner comes into play in a natural setting. Although leafy greens have

some value, the are ground huggers for the most part.
