 CashewThe Cashew Fruit and Nut

We always thought that cashews grow on trees like other nuts, but were delighted to discover that they grow out of a fruit that called "Cashew Apple" The apple is tasty, but a little astringent, and the locals use it to make all kind of drinks, including liqueur. The nut is inside a toxic liquid that can only opened safely after it is dried. This is done by applying heat. After this, the but itself is in a papery cover called "Teste" that can only be removed by heat again. The heat that is applied make the nut hard, as it is originally in a gel like state. By the way, the toxic liquid in the shell is used to make brake linings, and varnish among other industrial uses. We concluded that cashews can not be a raw food. You will find many recipes that include cashews in them, and you can do like we do and replace them with Macadamia Nuts or Pine Nuts. Some merchants sell "really raw" cashews, and we are not familiar what is the process that is used to process them. 

 

This is a cashew tree. Notice the poisonous barb on it.

Read below to learn why cashews are bad for you.

 

Fact: Almonds are a member of the peach family.

(As of September 2007, raw almonds will be ILLEGAL). Buy and stock as many as you can or email us if you want contact information on a good source to buy almond trees. They take 2 to 3 years to grow and give about 50 lbs a year. Plant as many trees as you can. It's always better to be self sufficient.

Click the link if you want to know why raw almonds will be banned.

It’s time to talk about raw almonds again…so, it seemed recently that the law to pasteurise all almonds in the States had gone through…talking with friends in Chicago recently however, we were handed flyers with information on how we can ALL act now to try to turn this situation around. The rule is due to go into effect on September the 1st, 2007. The idea is that we act NOW to contact US Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns to let him know why raw almonds are important to us and we do not want to see them pasteurised. If we do not act NOW to turn this around, it may literally never be possible to purchase raw almonds in the US again…and it may even open a floodgate for similar laws requiring pasteurisation of other foods…eeeeeek ;) no thanks…so, please take a few minutes NOW, for you, me, all those we care about and all those yet to come, to preserve access to truly raw foods. Here are the contact details for Secretary Johanns:
Email: Mike.Johanns@usda.gov   Phone: 202-720-3631   Fax: 202-720-2166

Click the bowl of almonds below to see what will happen once they become illegal.

Please take a few moments now to compose an email to Secretary Johanns – even if it means just copying and pasting the above (with your own name ;) – every message will count at this point to get the message across that we don’t want to lose access to raw almonds… :)

 

Fact: The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a
chocolate bar melted in his pocket.

 

The next time you buy bulk raw organic nuts why don't you see how many of them float or sink when you soak them.

Join our Rawfoods Tele-chat and you will learn tips like this and more. This is a free service we offer to the public.

 

For the best resources on any foods you see please email us a request for a list of the suppliers we use or get our newsletter for our continuously growing resources list. 

 

 I refuse to eat a fresh, non-frozen durian.

I know there are many people who have never eaten a durian and many who can't afford to eat them.

I refuse to eat a fresh one since I know if I did I probably wouldn't enjoy the frozen ones as much.

My favorite food stories are about durians.  The first time I ate durian I put it in a little container, hid it in my jacket, and brought it with me to eat at the movie theater.  Well, just before I was done, the lights came on, the management directed everyone to the emergency exit doors, then the fire department came, then I saw police, then ambulances, then the theater manager was giving everyone raincheck passes to come back to see the movie another time.  Now I see why they are illegal to eat them in hotels.

 

SPROUTING CAN BE BAD... BEWARE OF USING A SPROUTER.....

Edited due to our distributor restrictions...If you want to learn more come to our FREE Tele-Chat. Education only. Nothing for sale.

 

Sprouting is bad for you in the automatic sprouters. Due to our distributor we cannot mention the names but they are the ones with the automatic watering system that makes sprouts with water only without soil. This is very dangerous especially if growing wheatgrass. They fail to tell you what you are really growing. They fail to tell you about how growing sunflower sprouts or buckweat sprouts or wheatgrass in these automatic sprouters that grow from the misted water is dangerous to eat and lacks what you think you are getting. They fail to mention the Brixxe' level is severely restricted. They fail to tell you many things that we cannot say. Please call us if you want to hear the unbiased truth about why we do not sell these dangerous machines that rawfooders ask us for. Our staff would never touch a sprout or wheatgrass that was grown in one of these machines. We urge anyone that wants to buy a sprouter to call us. We do NOT sell them and are not trying to sell you one. We used to sell them before we learned the truth. Don't fall for the scam!

 

When you grow sprouts it should be natural. In nature they grow in soil. We grow ours in a thermophillic soil (soil that we make that naturally gets up to 150 degrees due to all the natural bacteria proliferation).

The soil you buy in stores might not have the bacteria in the soil. (Most people try to put kelp or some mineral solution in their electric sprouter. This is just for minerals...not the bacteria...what a joke!)

The baby sprouted greens that grow in nature  where they are naturally "wild crafted" have a super strong reproductive energy. The ones in an electric sprouter....well...just think about it and it is easy to figure out?

 

The best way to grow sprouts is in a Vertical Garden. It is made by Sundance. If you want one of these let us know. The best soil to use is the organic soil you can buy for around 5 dollars for 20 lbs. If you want to learn how to make your own thermo-phillic soil that is alive with aerobic bacteria we can teach how we do it. Ask to book a consultation with Sandy if you want to learn.

 

Do not misunderstand what we are saying about sprouting. We are not saying that they are good or bad. We know something that we need to share with rawfoodists. Call us at 1800 578 6988. Most people do not buy a sprouter after hearing what we have to say. I have no doubt in my mind that I cannot convince you that you should not use a sprouter for these type of sprouts.

 

To those that want to start growing sprouts who want high Brixxe value sprouts or who want to use thermophillic "base" soil to start making their own soil.

 

Bioavailability of Soil Minerals

Growing your own baby greens?  Perhaps you have considered the impact soil ecology has on the mineral content of your harvest.

 

In order for soil to be biodynamic, it must be heavily populated with beneficial soil bacteria.  Soil bacteria break down the sand and gravel in soil releasing the minerals.  You cannot buy this in a store.

 

These mineral colloids can then be transported by other bacteria to the tiny hair like feeding roots of plants.  The plants draw the minerals along with billions of tiny pilot organisms into their systems.

 

Of the 102 minerals available in rich soil, certain baby greens are capable of mining up to 95.  This depends on growing conditions to some extent but the main determinant of the mineral content of raw plant food is the concentration of diverse microscopic bacterial organisms in the soil.

 

I am considering making small amounts of carefully cultivated flora rich humus available for the first time.  It can be used as a 'starter culture' for those interested in crafting their own soil.

This will produce plant foods with the wild crafted qualities absent from domesticated cultivars.

Bananas (You might not want to read this if you plan on eating bananas ever again)

Here are the reasons bananas are the worst fruits you can put in you body:

They are very dampening in the body and unless you are outside in hot climates they will make your body retain water. Their glycemic index is so high that raises your blood sugar way to fast. I tend to want the juicer foods. They are almost always picked green. When picked green it doesn't allow the phytochemicals and nutrients to mature. This can only happen when picked tree-ripened. The trees are also injected with steroids. They are a genetically man-mad fruit. Bananas are highly hybridized. They have lost their ability to reproduce. They are actually a hybrid from a plantain. They are very addictive. 1/6 of total produce sales in North America is from bananas. Go to a grocery store and you will see bananas in almost everyones cart. They are the starchiest fruit in nature. They are mucous forming and if someone has asthma I would hope they know not to eat them. I only eat fruits that have not lost their ability to reproduce. I do not eat hybrid fruit. Do research on hybrids and you won't want to eat them either. It's just best to avoid bananas if possible.

GRAINS (WHEAT AND CORN) 

Dietary Fibre

Wheat and corn constitute the bulk of American grain consumption and both should be avoided for those interested in wellness and life extension.

 

Wheat contains a sticky substance called gluten.  It is the stuff that makes bread rise by forming little balloons filled with carbon dioxide released by dying yeast organisms.  Now doesn't that sound appetizing?

The gluten itself besides being a nutrient poor glue substitute poses no particular problem.  Gluten does contain an indigestible problem protein called gliadin. It is the protein of the endosperm of the wheat berry, the engine that gives the seed sprouting energy.  Even though we are not able to digest gliadin, it is so small that in enters the bloodstream anyway as if it were sugar, salt, casein protein from milk, etc.  Once gliadin has entered the bloodstream, our immune system must respond as an undigested protein is always interpreted as a pathogen.  So we mount an immune response that can last for three days or so sapping our energy and producing symptoms of allergy.  Most Americans are so used to the array of allergy symptoms from food insults that they have accepted them as a normal part of life not realizing it is their food that is making them sick and tired most of the time.

Gliadin is a problem for millions of Americans.  Many don't even realize gliadin is making them feel bad most of the time.

Corn is another grass seed and one of the most modified grains around.  Besides the high sugar content of corn a fresh ear, on the stalk, may contain about 25 different mold species.  With all that delicious sugar around, the mold organisms are sure to have lots of offspring once they have entered your GI tract.

Processed corn products (anything made from corn meal) are loaded with mold.  It is a situation rivaled only by peanut products. 

Eating corn provides you with a terrific infusion of mold organisms.  This could explain why sugar occupies such a prominent place at America's dinner table.  You see, the favorite food of mold is sugar and once they have established healthy colonies within the small intestine they know just how to get you to feed them-torture!

Wheat and corn are 50 cents a pound or less retail!  Do you really want to put this kind of fuel into your priceless temple? 

Wheat and corn are two grass seeds nobody needs to eat.

(The glutinous grains are wheat, oats, barley, rye, kamut, & spelt).

 

PROTEIN

Protein gets way too much attention in our nation because of the abundance of human carnivores we have generated.  Protein fixation is a commercially driven mentality that is more distraction than harm.  You see, meat really doesn't sell all that well unless it is pushed-just like milk.

 

High Brixxe value leaves, any of the super algaes such as chlorella and the nutrient dense immature grasses are capable of providing you with all the protein you can use.

 

At least 90% of the diets of the largest muscle mass creatures on Earth consist of green leaves. Add to this a little fruit, a few seeds and plenty of bugs and you might be able to bench press 4,000 pounds like a lowland gorilla.

 

It is easy to get plenty of protein from a frugivorous diet.  Animal foods are not needed for protein-they are mostly fat anyway.

 

As long as we get the 8 essential aminos, the flora in a properly functioning small intestine is capable of transmuting the other 14.  This is sometimes referred to as biosynthesis.  There is no need to become preoccupied with reading nutritional data to determine the presence/absence of this or that amino in a given food. 

 

Learn instead to trust Nature and relax into calm meditative visceral functioning. We all need to get the caffeine, excess glucose, cortisol and adrenaline out of our bloodstreams so that we may continue to evolve consciousness.  This is the way it was meant to be.

 

FOOD COMBINING

The more sugar any whole food contains the more likely it should be isolated from other foods by a space of time-even other sugary foods.  Thus, we have the concept of mono-fruit most have heard mentioned.

 

The only food that is acceptable to eat in any amount with sugary whole foods is green leaves.

 

Green leaves may be eaten in any amount with any other whole food without ill effect.

 

Green leaves may provide a buffering effect against the poor combining of other foods.

 

You can really get tangled up with complex food combining rules-.or you can just up your intake of green leaves and not worry too much about food combining.

 

Of course, if you eat an outrageous amount of sweet fruit you will be able to ferment your hiking boots.  Stay sane when it comes to sugar, even if it is from a natural whole food source.

 

DAIRY

Pasteurizing is cooking (mutilating)

 

Mutilating food destroys the negentropy (divine order) built into the structure of food

 

Non-organic dairy cows commonly suffer from mastitis (inflammation of the udder) resulting in the presence of white blood cells (pus) in the milk

 

Antibiotics are injected just above the infected teat and that one is not milked until normal color returns.  The practice results in antibiotics leaching into the milk from the other teats which continue to be milked.

 

Dairy cattle are often sunlight deprived resulting in nutritional deficient milk.  Vital solar information is missing from the milk of sunlight deprived cattle.

 

Nutrient deficient milk may also contain unacceptable levels of lactose (milk sugar) which could partially explain its addictive quality.

 

Milk contains indigestible casein protein which may harden the intestinal linings of children under the age of two leaving them marginally absorbent of other vital nutrients.

 

Milk products contain casomorphins (morphine-like substances) which may be extremely addictive possibly explaining the disproportionately large ice cream industry.

 

Americans are getting wise to the dairy deception.  There were 22 million dairy cows in our nation earlier in the 20th century. Today there are about 9 million.  Could this signal the probable future of this poor food choice?

 

(Also.. on a side note... i do not eat mushrooms either. Fungus conflicts with the aerobic metabolism that I try to maintain).

 

Here is a little tip you should always remember and never forget when going to the grocery store.
Conventionally grown produce have 4-digit numbers starting with 3 or 4.
Organically grown produce have 5 digits starting with a 9
Genetically modified (GM) have 5 digits starting with an 8

Never buy produce that starts with an 8. Just look for 9's to be sure you are getting organic. Sometimes

you will find conventional fruits or veggies accidentally mixed in with the organic. This happens a lot at

big health food stores so just read the numbers to make sure you are getting what you pay for.

 

 Pesticides:  Strawberries have the highest amount of pesticides. They are very pourous, which have tiny holes in its outer membrane. Avocados have the lowest. Many people choose diets and foods that they absolutely hate since they think it's healthy. We choose foods we love and that love us back. Pesticides get absorbed into the fruit and washing will not help, even with a fruit and veggetable spray.

Green foods: Reduce or, better yet, eliminate prepackaged foods. Buy in bulk and store in your own containers and reusable bags.

Greener foods: Join a local Community Supported food co-op (click here), which provides you monthly with raw organic bulk foods. You'll cut the pollution that comes from transporting food vast distances to different locations, while promoting the ecofriendly farm-to-table concept

Greenest foods: Start your own local food co-op by getting your friends and family together to make one big purchase to save the most money possible and least amount of packaging.

 

We urge everyone to try the superfoods we eat.

They are:

1. Rasberry Seeds (Freshy ground) or the kiwi seed, concord grape, strawberry seed flour mixture.

2. Camu Camu

3. Fresh Maca root (Don't buy it powdered, buy the root)

4 Algae

5. Barley Grass

Email us if you want to find places in your area that carry them. We do have distributors that will give you a discount if you mention our website.

See our Phyto Treats page if you want to try a sample.

 

The 10 second blending technique: Blending should take no longer than 10 seconds on its high setting to get the phytochemicals out. If your blender can't do this then you might want to see our kitchen page.

 
Pineapple: Not only do I eat the core, but I eat the stem. I do not blend the flesh as it gets too foamy. I only eat the stem near the top of the pineapple. The stem has an abundance of the enzyme "bromalain" and it is released in a 3 to 4 HP blender. It has so many enzymes that if you eat it with food it will start pre-digesting your food. Watch our video on pineapple here.
 
Pomegranates: they have more phytochemicals and anti-oxidants than any other fruit besides the acai berry.
 
Seseme seeds: I do not eat the white seseme seeds that most people eat. I only eat the black seeds. They are about 5 times as expensive but way worth it. The white seeds have around half the minerals and nutrients as these do. You can make black tahini. Imagine putting that in your hummus. Black hummus. Yum!
 
Rasberry seed flour: I have friends that are sick and I give them organic rasberry seed flour. All it contains is the seeds extracted from rasberries without the fruit part. A blender can do this but you can get the powder much cheaper tnan buying 20 packs of rasberries and doing it yourself in a 3hp blender. I tell my friends who have a serious health crises or major health concern to use this.

 

What will a grocery store look like if we took over?

We should all be responsible for producing at least some of our own food.  Even if only a small percentage of the total, the exercise of producing or harvesting your own food changes the way we believe about the things we consume.

 

Many have entrusted the entire responsibility of food production and distribution to the corporate entities that now dominate these industries.  This has led to the mass marketing and food preservation techniques we see in the modern grocery store.

 

Only the produce and meat sections contain food which could be loosely considered fresh.  Much of the time the bulk of the foods found in those sections is far from fresh.

 

Some day, when enough of us awaken to the  benefits of living food, the farm to market imperative will strengthen.  Freshness will be demanded and the food industry will respond.

 

All forms of processed and precooked food will disappear from market shelves.  The meat section will contract.  The grain based macrobiotic philosophy will dissolve.  Bakery departments will close down.  The deep fryers will go to the dump.

 

The smell of fresh greens and fruit will spill out into the street attracting the highly tuned pallets of the healthiest people on Earth.  The highest quality nuts and seeds and their related oils will occupy a prominent position in the store.

 

The paper and plastic industry would be cut way back as most of the folks would bring their own net or bag to carry their groceries and all the packaging would be cut way back. Oh, and the word "cook" would become something more likely used when talking about irregularities.

 

Avocados, olives, figs, macadamia nuts, almonds, cucumbers, tomatoes, choice greens, mineral rich sweet fruit and on and on.  This is the way it was meant to be.  We will do it!

 

If you want to tell us what your version of a grocery store should be we would love to hear your opinion. Email us at Theblindguru@yahoo.com.

 

More about what is wrong...

Most of our tastebuds are sooooo messed up, our neurotransmitter are sooo confused from
all those additives and preservatives, and don't forget the media who says one and then the other, but
all they want is your money.....People are undernourished and eat more than ever before,
dehydrated from drinking gallons of pops, and accustomed to have cereal w/milk for breakfast, fast
food for lunch and another hot meal for dinner. But they are still hungry. This journey is for someone who
wants to listen or who's fallen soooo deep, he or she is screaming for an alternative. Have u ever thought
about this - who says not to eat a salad in the morning, soaked grains(cereal) and Nutmilk
for lunch and a smoothie for dinner. Who? We are all accustomed to something... Heritage, Likings, Culture,
etc. Why not eat whatever and when you want it? Because you have been told so, that certain foods go
for a certain time of a day. Does that make sense?

 

How we price our foods-

We do not just have a flat shipping price and estimate it from the highest possible shipping like most stores do. Most stores charge, for example $10 a lb for something. If it costs them 30 cents a lb or 90 cents a lb they go by the highest shipping estimate which is 90 cents for example. We give you the courtesy and give you exact shipping. If you are placing large orders this can easily save you 60 cents per lb which adds up.  Our prices fluctuate and usually get cheaper. We do not try to find the cheapest sources. We find the foods that have the highest Brixxe level in its category and buy only those foods.

 

Coming soon: Raw dehyrated coconut powder. Dehyrated living water and young baby coconut into a whitish powder. Tastes as sweet as powdered sugar.

 

We use freshly ground rasberry seeds in all of our smoothies. We carry all types of seed powders rom all types of berries.

 

Rasberry seed flour: I have friends that are sick and I give them organic rasberry seed flour. All it contains is the seeds extracted from rasberries without the fruit part. A blender can do this but you can get the flour much cheaper tnan buying 20 packs of rasberries and doing it yourself in a 3hp blender. I tell my friends who have a serious health crises or major health concern to use this. Let us know if you need rasberry seed flour or our other freshly ground seed flours.

Soaking and rinsing nuts:
~ Removes the naturally occurring bitter-tasting phytates, which have been shown to inhibit digestion
~ Enhances the absorption of some vitamins and minerals
~ Initiates the sprouting process in nuts and seeds which sweetenes the taste.

Cacao

 

RAW Cacao - Beans

Call for co-op pricing.

 

Cacao - Butter

Organic Nativa Cacao Butter. Now available in 2.2 lb (1kg) size.

 

Cacao - Nibs
Not as oxidized as the powder but we do offer them. You can get the beans much cheaper since there is less work involved since they don't have to be ground up.

Plus, the whole beans are more moist and taste fresher.

Cacao - Powder

Cacao Powder is the result of removing the cacao butter, which is the fat. This may be even more oxizided than the nibs. We do not eat the powder. If you are a chocolate enthusiast you will most likely prefer the whole peeled beans. 

 

Berries

Berries - Goji

Dried Fruit & Berries - Goji Berries Call for Co-op price
 
 Our berries are wild crafted picked in protected areas. Ours do not have the bitter aftertaste of Goji berries with a low Brixxe level. Ours are sun dried and have a sweet taste. Also, many stores are selling wolf berries that look the same and are a fraction of the cost. Beware of this. There are many different grades of these berries. We sell the ones that we get do not get returns on. We have sold many different varieties in the past and there are many types that people just do not like. You should eat these because you enjoy them...not just to eat them to get nutrition such as taking a vitamin from a bottle.

Berries - Incan
Wild-crafted Incan Berries, although a dried fruit, are plump and juicy with a lemony flavor and sweet like a fig.  These wild berries are Bursting with Energy.

 Himalayan red date berriesHoney (If you are vegan you don't want honey)

Honey - Blue Borage

The Vipers Bugloss plant - commonly known as Blue Borage - grows wild in the remote areas of the Clarence Reserve in the Kaikoura mountain range in New Zealand. It is one of the hardest won honeys in New Zealand from one of the purest sources. The wild flower covers the hills of the Central South Island in a floral carpet of brilliant blue flowers. The plant produces a nectar at lower temperatures than clover yielding a very dry honey with a chewy or tacky texture. Blue Borage is slower to crystallize, and has been used in folklore to treat stress and fatigue.
Honey - Honey Dew

Active Honey Dew has a deep, rich earthy taste. It is the only honey that is not directly obtained from a flower. The sweet substance is extracted from a beech tree by a beetle and bee's harvest from the beetle. That extraction is taken back to the hive to produce honey. It was recently discovered that this honey is active in the same way Manuka is. For the full story see Honey Dew Story.
Honey - Manuka 12+

Certified Organic by Agriquality of New Zealand
IFOAM accredited, USDA approved

Found only in a few areas of New Zealand, active honey contains an additional antibacterial component found only in some Manuka honey. This factor is tested on a scale of 0-20 for antibacterial activity. Diffusing deeper into skin tissues than other honey, Active Manuka can be effective against superbugs like E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Helicobacter pylori.
Honey - Manuka 15+

Found only in a few areas of New Zealand, active honey contains an additional antibacterial component found only in some Manuka honey. This factor is tested on a scale of 0-20 for antibacterial activity. Diffusing deeper into skin tissues than other honey, Active Manuka can be effective against superbugs like E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Helicobacter pylori.
Honey - Nectar Ease

Nectar Ease Manuka Honey with Bee Venom

This ground-breaking product is a unique combination of the beneficial properties of bee venom and Manuka honey. The result is a means of active ingredient delivery without the pain of direct bee-sting application.

Nectars

 

Agave Nectar

This is clear agave nectar. This is not amber, tinted, or brownish agave that has been oxidized by dehydration. This one is not cut with corn syrup. (I am sure you have heard of the corn syrup scam going on).

Click the picture of aqua agave nectar to watch the video on it.

 

I am not aware of any agave that doesn't come out of the cactus clear.

 

Conventional agave nectar is a  mechanically isolated sugar (seperated sugar). I would only eat the clearest agave I could find. We offer a clear agave that has not been cooked
or dehydrated and has nothing added to it. Typical agave nectar is way more concentrated than what naturally comes from the plant. Just buy an agave plant
and see what is inside and you will see that it is clear, never brown or tinted. Raw wild honey is the safest for us to eat (there are several types of honeys we recommend and some that are not worth eating at all).

 Hemp

Hemp Protein

 

We do have this if you want it.  We carry several differnt grades of hemp seed protein.

If you want the best or you just want the most affordable, we have both.


Hemp Seed

Cultivated for thousands of years in China, hemp has been used as a food and fiber crop long before soya beans. (Luckily, they're not a major world crop, so they've never been genetically modified - unlike soy beans.) A variety of cannabis, hemp has virtually no THC - you can't get high on hemps seeds, you can only get healthy. Today, research is being done that will prove that hemp seeds are one of the most nutritious foods in existence. Consisting of a third of highly digestible protein, hemp seeds are packed with omega-6 and omega-3 and vitamin E oils and they're rich in iron and chlorophyll as well. These essential fatty acids (without which the human body can not digest protein) help boost the immune system, prevent heart disease and cancer. The important thing about hemp protein is that it contains about 65% globulin edistin, making it the richest source of any plant.

 

Smoothie Ingredients

Green Foods - Blue Green Algae
Purchase by the pound and and save 30-50% on crystal Blue Green Algae! Farmed in the crystal clear waters of Klamath Lake in northern California and dryed using state-of-the-art Refractance Window technique. This method of drying preserves the abundant minerals. Add blue-green algae crystals to your morning smoothie to alkalize the body.

I recommend people start with this one, then if they know they can handle it, then move up from gold, to premium, and finally the Iridesce, which is the best one we sell.

Although the best one is the most power we urge people to use the cheaper ones first. Imagine drinking a whole cup of wheatgrass juice. That is the best analogy I can give.

 

See our samples page if you want a free sample of the Iridesce. Shipping is around 7.00. The sample is a few scoops put in a Zip Lock bag for you to try.

Maca Powder
Maca is an almost magical adaptogenic root vegetable cultivated for thousands of years in the Peruvian Andes - it can be grown at higher altitudes than any other crop in the world. Peruvian Indians usually roast maca or sun-dry it to preserve it and eat it both for its nutritional and medicinal values. Traditionally, it's fed to domestic animals and young wives to increase their fertility.

Sesame Seeds

Unhulled Heirloom Seseme seeds.

   Our best manafood. These are not unhulled. We only carry the Heirloom variety.
 The difference are that they are bigger, have a better color, grown in a better soil, have a great biological rating. These are not a hydbridized seed.
 If it doesn't claim they are "Heirloom" it is not guaranteed to have the nutrition. To test this, take a Brixxe meter and test the difference or just go by
your taste buds.

Goji cacao powder

Special blend:  Goji cacao powder. Ask for Jared if you want this.

 

Seaweed

Seaweed - Arame

TEMPORARILY SOLD OUT - CHECK BACK SOON! - Arame seaweed is easy to prepare - just soak for 10 minutes, rinse, drain and the noodle-like pieces are ready for a soup or salad. Make a delicious side salad of arame with whatever spicing you like... lemon juice, nama shou and some sesame seeds.
Seaweed - Dulse

 This is the finest and freshest organic Dulse you will find. Dulse is one of the most popular seaweeds because of it's flavor and versitility in recipes. Break some up with avocado slices and lemon juice or tear pieces into salads. This Canadian Dulse is not too salty which makes it a great snack right out of the sack.
Seaweed - Hijiki

Hijiki is one of the better known seaweeds as it is used widely in Japanese restaurants. Just a short soak prepares this seaweed for your favorite soup or salad or side dish with a ginger vinaigrette.

Seaweed - Nori

 

We have the best prices on Nori.

Seaweed - Wakame

Wakame is delicious as a simple salad. Soak for 15 to 30 minutes and drain, then add a bit of nama shoyu or fresh squeezed lemon, Himalayan salt and sesame seeds and even a bit of olive oil.
 

Salts

Salt - Himalayan, Bath
Salt - Himalayan, Candle Holder
Salt - Himalayan, Lamp

NOTE: Size & Shape Vary
Salt - Himalayan, Pink Crystals

I use these Crystals to make a brine in water and use that as a mouth wash/rinse to help alkalize my mouth. One stone in a jar of water partially dissolves until it creates a saturated state.
Salt - Himalayan, Table

Pink Himalayan Table Salt - 250 million year old salt. Is there anything else in your home 250 million years old? I felt something very special the first time I tasted Himalayan Salt. For myself, when I eat a special food that resonates with me I get a BIG YES in my brain that says I like this, my body wants it! I like to make a solution from the crystals and use that as a mouth rinse or sometimes with a drop of manuka essential oil.
 

Olives

Olives - Peru

Currently out of stock - please check back soon!

Olives - Sun Dried/Salt Cured

These Sun dried Olives are the tastiest. These organic tree ripened Black Olives are cured in ancient sea salt, lightly rolled in organic olive oil and organic spices. When I first went raw I couldn't stop eating these and after eating a few 26 lb. buckets I started selling some of them to friends. When I heard olives are the highest in minerals in the fruits and they are also mucous dissolving I felt good about eating them. They are also supposed to be a healthy fat. While I was eating lots of them I was losing weight. Since they are salty I avoid using additional salt in salads or veggies when I eat olives and for those who are salt sensitive, these are not the right olives.

 

These come in 26 lb buckets only. This is the only way we can get them to you the cheapest. FREE samples are available. $7.00 shipping and we will send you a pound for you to try. If you are ordering other foods you will not have to pay shipping on this pound.

Almonds, Raw Organic Non-Pareil

There are a lot of scams in the bulk rawfoods market!

There is no way for you know exactly how the food was grown, and there's no one you can ask. Since the commercialization of organic foods...the quality has went down. for every dollar you spend in a grocery store on a tomato shipped from far away, the approximate benefit to the farmer who grew the fruit is 9 cents.

The actual cost of the foods are a fraction of what they retail for.

 

We have dealt with dozens of farmers and tried each of their foods. We have not chosen the farmers based on price. We chose the best quality sources. We could easily sell cheaper by buying cheaper quality but we don't.

 

Some farmers are better at some things just like some chefs are better at some things. Just because you are buying an organic goji berry doesn't mean it's nutritious. Learn about Brixxe theory and you will see what we mean. One goji berry can have 5 to 10 times as much bioavailability of nutrients as an inferior goji.

 

It just amazes me how different a goji berry can taste depending on which farm it comes from, and how tender and sweet it is....and compared to the mass-farmed stuff....it's like the difference between irradiated supermarket ground pepper verses whole, fresh, organic pepper.

 

We also don't recommend buying prepared dehydrated snacks from stores selling them. They are not as fresh as you might think. In the rawfoods business a lot of times, if they are making large batches to sell wholesale to stores they tie in their profits to cutting food costs and creating lower price points.

 

If you wanted better ingredients in these prepared snacks you would have to pay much more to the

point that the price would be unaffordable to the customer. It would be up to the store who sells to the end user to show a customer why it's more expensive and that would even require even more time and money to pay employees to explain why its better...and then.. no one will buy them because the price is too high.

 

If the manufactor of a raw food was going to not cut every corner the price would be significantly higher. They would have to throw slighty, partially rancid nuts and seeds away from time to time. They would have to throw herbs that are starting to wilt away instead of putting them into the foods. There is just a lot of corners that I have seen raw chefs do and I do not like it. It is not that they are trying to lie or get away with something...it's that the foods are expensive and they cannot afford to throw foods away that are less than 100% optimum.

 

Most of the bulk foods today are grown from huge agribusiness. We buy ours from local farmers who do not sell to huge corporate chains. We support local farmers.

 

There is a lot to be said for the ingenuity of direct supply. In an era when food is subject to issues of safety, health, and morality, it's comforting for us to know exactly where our next meal comes from, who grew it, who prepared it, the cleanliness and environment it was prepared in, and that the people involved cared for the food every step of the way and not just an employee who can't wait till the minute he or she gets off work.  If we buy from a distributor we have lots of questions before we every buy from them. We get calls every day from rawfood distributors and turn about 99% of them down. They are just out to make a dollar on us and that is not going to happen unless they have a good product. We always sample any product or foods before we buy. And it is sampled by all of our staff...not just the owner or one or two people. If one person in our company doesn't like a food we don't sell it. We all work together and are not going to sell a product we all don't believe in. There are too many choices to just settle for something inferior.

 

Remember, the food, depending on how it's grown and prepared, literally affects our day-to-day experience of the world as beautiful, bland, or ugly!

 

Pricing on all living foods:

We have chosen not to advertise our pricing on our raw living foods due to complaints from other retailers. . We are not in the foods business. We do not like

how the living foods movement is expanding into the most profitable business. It is very hard for people to buy food these days. Even as the owner of the my store, I still go to grocery stores and get the pineapple cores and watermellon rinds and even the cantoulope seeds they throw away. I am all for getting free food.  I also go to mexican restaurants and get the avocado pits before they throw them away. I also go to juice bars and get the pulp at the end of the day. I use the pulp in many raw dehyrdated recipes including mock tuna salad and raw carrot cake and raw cookies. I  put pineapple cores with it and I can make the most wonderful recipes practically free. I use my 3HP+ blender to make cantoulope seed milk. It's free and it's the sweetest seed milk and so nutritious...and it's free!

The stores also throw out any bruised or slightly damaged or molded fruit or vegatbles in the garbage. I have seen cherymoyas that are over $5 each just thrown in the garbage just because it was getting over ripe. I see golden delicious apples with bruises on them thrown in the trash too. There are trash cans in the produce section...you just have to look for them. The produce employees are told to throw out anything that does not look sellable. What bothers me is...the grocery store is not allowed to donate the produce or "tell" someone its ok for them to have it because they can get sued. There was a durian that cracked open which must have been dropped on the floor and I asked the manager if I could have it since it was damaged. They told me they ar required to throw all damaged food in the garbage. They threw it away before they would give it to me. This happens all the time. Now I just grab it myself from the garbage. (The garbage bags are clean. The only thing in them are produce. It's not the garbage cans that everyone throws trash in). Once it's in the trash and I picked it out they really can't say anything to me. I go to the farmer's market usually on Sunday evenings and you would not believe how much produce is thrown away. Now, I pretty much know the employees and they call me when they have a big bag of slighty damaged produce and I am there in about 10 minutes!! I always give them a little gratuity and everyone is happy!

 

I hate wasting food and I usually have a 20% off coupon and I buy all my groceries with my coupons. Now that I sell foods, I now have total control over the pricing on the foods I sell. We buy our foods in 2,000 pound containers thanks to the investors that have helped us. I am the last person that is going to make organic raw foods unaffordable. Because our prices are cheaper you might think they are lower quality. Our foods are the highest quality but we are bypassing the middlemen- the stores, the distributor who buys from the farmer, and even us. The farmers still make the same profit that they normally would when they sell in bulk to us.

We don't buy prepared raw dehydrated foods from stores and how they lose their nutrition the longer they sit on the shelf (I've seen even rancid nuts in many of the raw snacks on the market). I have bought raw trail mixes and soaked them and just to see if the almonds and other seeds would sink... but no... they floated.... they were dead even though they claim them to be raw. Just becuase it says raw and organic doesn't mean it's still living. This makes me more angry than someone trying to sell a juicer to someone who doesn't need it.

 

All prices on anything we sell can be found by going to our "Product Resources" page.

About stocking foods:

Not that you need a 100lbs of seseme seeds, for example, you might want to stock up on certain foods that don't spoil. I always keep a 5 gallon bucket of coconut oil, 50 lbs of heirloom seseme seeds, a gallon of honey (manuka type too). If you buy in bulk you get your stock much cheaper.

I eat just enough to stay alive and having the 3 to 5 lbs of bacteria helps me absorb more so I eat even less.


                        "The way to eat a lot is to eat a little. That way, you live long enough to eat a lot".
I believe it is not peoples' fault that they overeat and gain excess weight. It usually starts  when parents try to force feed their babies (I was force fed too) when the babies are full. On top of that, I see parents giving kids junk foods just to satisfy them. Then, as adults, we duplicate that process.

There is a big scam in the agave nectar business. After watching this video you will question weather your agave is truly raw (with no heat) versus raw(at the discretion of the company weather it is raw or not).

 

Agave nectar, in order to stay fresh, must have its enzymes processed, otherwise it will turn into tequila. The only way to process these enzymes was by cooking, which destroys the nature of agave nectar. Aqua agave is "cured" by a natural process and it typically costs about 5 times the price as the store bought type for $5.00. Since I have been in business, I have had agave companies try to sell me agave for 75% off what stores pay. I refuse to sell agave that I have to question weather it was cooked or not. You can take an ORP meter an test the charge that agave has and you can tell how fresh it is. The better the ORP score the more raw it is. If you want to know if one is better than the other you can test it from our instrument on our Brixxe Theory page or get an ORP meter. The clear agave has so much more minerals than the store bought type and it is slower to assimilate into the body- no sugar high that many sugarvores are addicted to. The process to preserve aqua agave uses a proprietory patented process. If you want the best just try it. It does not give you that scratchy throat feeling that cooked ones give you. If you like agave, you probably won't even know that this is really agave. You will probably think is something else since it tastes so much fresher and sweet. The best analogy I can give is getting an aloe vera plant and squeezing some juice out and then buying some store bought already pressed aloe.
