Guest guest Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Green Bell peppers are pretty good raw also. ~Janice~ You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. Rabindranath Tagore Well, my DD just grabs a handful of lettuce and eats it in her hand. I find that fairly gross though. Fresh is best, then frozen and then canned. That's what I was taught. Maybe I'm wrong though. You know, aside from lettuces, I can't think of any greens other than say green beans and they are best raw to my taste anyway. Oh, well alfalfa sprouts are green. I eat them on sandwiches. Heather in Ontario ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Carolyn, Tell him he should thank his lucky stars to have you preparing this food for him. Being newly single, with 2 kids (non-raw), and struggling to keep it all going, it would be HEAVEN if somebody would hand me a Collard Roll-up. I might propose marriage on the spot! Mark - tncnavarra rawfood Friday, December 31, 2004 2:23 PM [Raw Food] Greens Hi everyone, My husband is going raw - he's giving me from now until Feb. 1st when he'll evaluate how he feels. We are using Alissa Cohen's book as a guide since he saw her DVDs and read part of her book and is totally excited about her stuff. What I've noticed is that every time he starts to feel terrible (detox symptoms), if he has anything with greens in it he immediately feels better - I mean immediately. I've never had the same experience and it's really something to watch. Last night he felt so bad he was ready to abandon raw foods and I made him a salad of mixed baby greens and he was fine. Today he was feeling similarly bad and I made him Alissa's Collard Roll-ups (which we both loved!) and he immediately felt better. I mean, he went from crawling to the couch to just flop down, to being up and happy and saying, " I can't believe I feel so good now. " Anyone ever experience this?

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 How long have you been raw to be comfortable making cooked food for others without eating it yourself?

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 That's amazing to purposely eat with others eating cooked. I don't know when I'll have the strength to do that. I munch in my garden alone whenever I get hungry. I don't even try to arrange times to eat with people who are eating cooked. There's just way to much emotion around my eating to purposely eat with people who are eating cooked. It's still very hard. Some people truly like eating cooked, so it is just a different path. My mother offers me cooked every time she eats and I'm around. It's getting easier to say no and I know one bite would send me into a tailspin of non-raw eating. And then I would just be waiting until I could go raw again. Hopefully no more back and forth this year. I'd really like to see what's beyond the food if I could just stay raw long enough to get completely comfortable with it.

I wouldn't try it if I were still struggling. Last night I ate with four other people eating cooked. I brought my raw and I'm sure they thought I was bonkers.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 I have been raw three months. I think it is a question of when you are happy and comfortable eating raw. I wouldn't try it if I were still struggling. Last night I ate with four other people eating cooked. I brought my raw and I'm sure they thought I was bonkers.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 chard, kale and mustard in my tastebuds. Chop up 1/2 apple and cook with the greens, Chanda and Lawanna suggested it, it pulls any bitter out and you won't taste the apple either.
