Guest guest Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 I sprout in jars it's easy enough and I have had no problems. So far I've sprouted lentils, buckwheat ,quinona, garbanzos, mung beans, alfalfa. I often blennd sprouts in with juice or smoothies for extra nutririon. The lentils are good with a sauce of mustard, olive oil and lemon (add some cheery tomatoes and scallions for a real treat). Quinona can take the place of bulghur in tabbouleh anmd the garbanzos can be used to make hummous (add tehina garlic, lemon and salt (or dulse).

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Thanks, Alan...that sounds good. I am gathering info and will experiment with my diet. I do know I want to keep the fruits lesser than the veggie dishes and not mix fruits and veggies...so I'll go from there on the other details.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Diana, I usually don't eat much sprouted grain for the reason that I feel weighted down, heavier, and bloated if I eat too much. I feel as if I have gained weight afterwards too. I don't know if that is the case because I don't weigh myself. But sometimes, nothing beats a bowl of fresh made buckwheaties. Buckwheat is an oat groat, I think that is a grain, but I could be wrong. When I do sprout Buckwheat I use it for the following: One of my favorite breakfast cereals is called " Buckwheaties " (Gabriel Cousens M.D. recipe) You first have to sprout the buckwheat. Directions for this can be found on the www.thesproutpeople.com website. Or you can find it in 'Rainbow Green Life-Food Cuisine.' It is very easy. Then you are ready to make the following cereal. Cinnamon " Toasted " Pecan Buckwheaties ('Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine' pg. 372) 2 C Buckwheaties Cinnamon Toasted Pecans 2 C pecans, soaked 1 T lemon juice 1 T cinnamon Process pecans and lemon juice in a food processor with the " S " blade until chunky; toss pecans in cinnamon. Mix in Buckwheaties now or wait until after nuts are dehydrated. Place mixture (with or without Buckwheaties) on a dehydrator tray and dehydrate at 105 degrees for 2-3 hours. If you haven t already, mix in Buckwheaties. Serve with nut mylk. I like to top Buckwheaties with fresh berries of choice, raisins, apricots, dates. Or bananas, apples, or any combination of fruit to your liking. Then I pour freshly made kefir on top. It is scrumptious. Hope you like them.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Another thing I heard at my raw food meeting was that anything you like cooked you can make raw.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I'm not sure this is true; I always loved cooked potatoes, can't eat raw potatoes, they make me ill. Do they mean that you can make a dish that will be similar? For instance, I know some folks make raw " mashed potatoes " with cashews and cauliflower. There are a lot of foods that need some degree of processing in order to be made palatable, and that I would not want to eat in their raw form. Did they give any specific examples? Thanks, Lane....

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I'm not attracted to raw potatoes either and I'm not sure why. They don't taste that good but they don't taste all that bad either. Maybe the non-organic ones are just foul and I might like organic ones. Or maybe the starchy content just doesn't seem like food to me. A date going from hard to edible is all the processing I want done to my food.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Valerie. I think he meant the second thing...you can recreate any dish using raw ingredients. For instance when I blend tomatoes, cucumber, greens and celery in the blender, it comes out tasting remarkably close to gespachio(not sure how to spell that).

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 No, I've never eaten a large amount of raw potatoes. Here, I'll try one now. Eh, I ate a slice, maybe it's the crunchiness I don't like. Maybe it's my inner guidance telling me they're toxic in some way. But no, I've never gotten sick eating them. Not much taste to them, even less than your average plant food. rawfood , " John de la Garza " <john@j...> wrote: > Ive read never to eat raw potatoes that they are toxic and cooking > breaks down the toxins.
