Guest guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 http://www.eatraw.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=ER011 has some right now. Nature's First Law is out of stock. If you order from them through Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007YVB4I/002- 1204595-3585601?v=glance & n=3370831 I don't know if you could get them or not. Quintessence used to have an online store but it's out of commission. I've seen them at Whole Foods if you live near one. The closest one to me is three hours away.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Oh, don't I know it! David Wolfe sells them for a premium price. Know of any other resources for them?

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Shari, the shipping is cheaper from David Wolfe than it is from EatRaw. Unless you can get them at Whole Foods and not have to pay shipping, I don't know of anywhere cheaper. Quintessence had them for $9.95 a pound but they don't have an online store any more.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 " Quintessence had them... " Too bad about what happened with those restaurants and their owner. It was shocking, sad and disappointing. My whole foods does not keep their " raw " cashews in the cooler. I'm with the thought someone else mentioned - if the nuts are not in the cooler I don't buy them, especially cashews, macadamias, and Brazil nuts.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Shari, the really raw cashews are vacuum packed so they stay fresh without refrigeration.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 I tried to order them and it wouldn't process through after I put in all the info. I called the number that's listed on the web site and the woman who answered told me they don't send out orders any more. They deliver locally. I asked if that included nuts and seeds and she said yes. I told her that they need to take that page off their site. She thanked me and hung up. More's the pity since they were so cheap. Maybe that's why they had to quit?

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 If you don't have the refrigerator space for you oily nuts you can buy a home unit and vacuum pack them in smaller packs. I vacuum packed mine and then stored them in the freezer but would prefer the fridge if I had room. Freezing does decrease the life force but is not suppose to kill the enzymes.

Guess it wasn't the first time it > had happened. Actually, Quintessence is the restaurant I went to last week. It is still alive and well. The owner has some " issues " , shall we say, but the restaurant is fabulous. I had never eaten raw food in a restaurant and I was astounded at what could be done (my basic food is something ground in the food processor and added to sprouts, or else dehydrated crackers with the above on top of them. I learned that I could put some kind of " cheese " on my crackers and get a pizza-ish taste... so I went home and made some crackers based on three recipes and my ideas, and then I made some " almond cheese " loosely based on a Gabriel Cousens recipe. The few SAD food people I tried them on said they were good. One of those people never likes anything she doesn't cook... so I felt good. Back to the owner... He apparently has a penchant for showing his wares on the subway. He got caught at it last year I think. This time, the young girl he decided to " honor " had a camera cell phone turned on and in her hand when he went into action. She photographed the part, and then she photographed the other head, i.e., the offender's face. Then she asked her friend to hold her hand as they walked off the train. The owner was not present when I ate in the restaurant, and the place was about as packed as a 10 table restaurant can be. The food is good. I don't feel guilty because, when I went there, I had not put two and two together, so I had no clue that it was *his* restautant (the news just reported " the owner of a popular downtown restaurant. There are so many restaurants " downtown " (in New York City, " downtown " is not the central shopping/business district, but rather a trendy area in Manhattan -- the part of the city which most people think of when they think of New York-- where there are up and coming shops, businesses, restaurants, clubs, and prices!!) I have struggled with my conscience on the issue of patronizing a restaurant owned by a known sex-offender and have come to no answer... this restaurant does educate, and it does provide a product otherwise unavailable in these parts. Nevertheless, I would not like to support the habit of a known sex offender. Still, the food was so good and I need to find out more. BUT am I condoning the owners actions by patronizing his establishment (my parents boycotted Dr. Zhivago because Julie Christie was fornicating with Warren Beatty) Oh, life in New York! Oh, morality! Oh, personal decisions on what is right ane what is wrong and how right is right and how wrong is wrong, and if I did not know it was wrong when I did it, does that make it still not wrong now that I know? or does it beome wrong once I know. Oh... the fact that I do know the answers to those questions, and oh, I wish I did not know. margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Wow. I had no idea that was him. That sort of cancels out the good news that Quintessence is still serving meals - I thought they were turning that location into a desert shop.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Margaret, if we knew everything about everybody, and wouldn't buy from them because of that, we wouldn't have vary many, if any, places left to shop! I base my decisions on where to buy on totally selfish reasons--the quality and the price. The only person I can apply moral judgment to is myself. It's too bad that it happened but the difference is, he got caught. Lots of people do things they shouldn't and no one ever finds out. Go, eat, and enjoy!

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I've ordered them from http://www.eatraw.com and http://www.rawfood. com. Shipping from rawfood is cheaper.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Tommie: I sure wish there were a way to write you off-line. That way, it woudl be a lot easier to explain my " sense of humor " when you miss it. Oh well. I was being silly.... duh! Do I really worry much? Nope. Do I eat what I please? Pretty much. Do I care what anybody else thinks about what I eat? NOT!
