20 Raw Food Groups Nothing Boring Here

Arent you bored with the raw food thing?

I was recently asked this question by my brother. The same brother who asked Are You Going To Eat "Real" Food Again?. My brother, whod be more than happy to eat pizza every night of the week.

I can think of many things to say about my chosen raw foods lifestyle. Boring never comes to mind. Just take a gander at some of the recipes on this site – click any category under the header – and tell me if you think theyre boring.

But I suppose a raw food diet can seem boring if you have no idea just how many different kinds of foods there are waiting to be explored and enjoyed. So, have a look at the 20 different raw food groups:

  • Fresh fruits
  • Salad fruits (those fruits disguised as veggies: bell pepper, cucumber, tomato)
  • Dried fruits
  • Vegetables
  • Leafy greens
  • Herbs and wild greens
  • Nuts, nut butters, nut milks
  • Sprouted legumes
  • Sprouted grains
  • Seeds, seed milks
  • Sprouted seeds
  • Edible flowers
  • Roots
  • Mushrooms
  • Sea vegetables
  • Algaes
  • Cold-pressed virgin oils
  • Spices
  • Superfoods
  • Natural sweeteners (raw honey, agave nectar, stevia)
With hundreds of foods to choose from and endless ways of combining and creating with them, how could I possibly be bored? In fact, I still have a running list of foods Ive yet to try but would like to, including: dragon fruit (that beauty pictured above), durian, jackfruit, okra, Irish moss, and maca.

Would you believe that prior to 10 months ago, I had never eaten chard, kale, or turnip greens? Now, I eat at least one of those lovely greens every day. And, I cant imagine life without them.

So, tell me. Have you sampled from all 20 different raw food groups?

Remember, variety is the spice of life. Add some to yours today.

CrockPot Dolmas Recipe

Day 344. Jessica emailed me a few weeks ago and asked if I had a crockpot dolmas recipe. I didnt, but I do now! These are super easy, fun to make, and even more fun to eat. I was floored at how many my kids ate---they really liked them a lot. The Ingredients. 1 jar grape leaves (8oz of leaves, in juice, near the pickles) 1/2 pound ground lamb 1/2 pound ground turkey breast 1 cup cooked white rice 1/2 cup chopped parsley 2 lemons 1 egg 1 tsp allspice 1 tsp dill The Directions . I used a 6 quart crockpot , anything 4 quarts and up would work just fine. I got this recipe after putting a few together from this website according to the flavors I thought my family would enjoy, and from how I remember dolmas to taste. I really think theres no wrong or right way to do these, its like meatloaf--everyone has their own version. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, rice, egg, spices, and juice from one lemon. Mix well with your hands to combine. Drain and rinse the grape leaves. Put a sm

The British Heart Foundation diet was curiously been created by the British Heart Foundation, or even approved by the same. Instead, it seems almost to have evolved from different sources, and his name was almost by osmosis rather than a real basis in fact.

Stressed? Maybe ornithine can help. Or is this study just a hoax!? Sounds like marketing shenanigan, right? "Lower Cortisol, Higher DHEA, Better Sleep W/ Only 400mg of Ornithine Pre-Bed." Ok, if it was marketing it would probably say "with only 5g of ornithine." I mean, 400mg thats not enough to generate significant revenues - is it? But before we get to the marketing side of things, lets first look at the science, researchers from the Research Laboratories for Health Science & Food Technologies present in a recent paper in the Nutrition Journal , an open-access journal which charges scientists a certain fee for processing their papers.
