Default Re: Giving raw food a shot

Humble Janitor, I love your posts!

Some food are toxic when eaten raw: http://www.beyondveg.com/tu-j-l/raw-...tural%20toxins
Raw food can contain salmonella occasionally.
My friend who makes a raw veggie smoothie every morning said that beets & bananas are key to good taste.

Eating raw can get pretty expensive!
There are some smoothie recipes here, but the ingredients maybe expensive:

This book recommends the following pricey equipment:
  • Excalibur Dehydrator
  • Champion Juicer (Heavy Duty Industrial Model)
  • Vita-Mix Blender (TurboBlend 4500)
  • Sumeet Grinder
