Dried spices/seasonings ect in raw vegan recipes

[Guest guest]

If a raw food recipe calls for 1/4 teaspoon of a dried spice or

seasoning such as allspice, nutmeg, oregano, basil, ect would that

make a big difference to most raw foodists? It personally doesn't

bother me, but what do the rest of you think?

 

Or what about a recipe that is raw in all other respects but requires

a tsp of honey or miso? Neither are completely raw, but would that

tsp of honey or miso deter you from trying a recipe?

 

I'm asking because as I share recipes I will make a special notation

that one may choose to substitute the tsp of dried spice, seasoning,

honey, miso, ect with something else. But if it's no big deal I'll

just share the recipe.

I think this would depend on the reason you go raw. I eat raw and mostlty

vegan (some raw fish and eggs) for health reasons. I don't feel that

1/4 teaspon or so of dried spice would hurt me so I wouldn't feel bad about

it.

 

If I brought it to a pot luck of served it to other rawfoodists I would make

sure to let them know

My vote is to post those recipes! I use seasonings, miso and would use honey,

but I prefer stevia, agave or date sugar.

The longer I'm on this list the more I see that there is such a wide variety of

us. Some mono-foodist, some combine anything, some somewhere inbetween. Some

only fruit, some only veggies, some both. Some nuts and seeds and beans, some

none...all kinds. Some even think it a " sin " to eat what they don't or that

their form of diet is " above " the others. Seems silly to me. I like the freedom

to flow and change and experiment. I respect everyones place in diet, even

though I may not want to follow it (at the time).

Thanks Diana, I come across different recipes on the internet and

wanted feedback on dried seasonings before sharing them with others.

I'll just include in the message if something is not

entirely " raw " .
