POINTERS n INSPIRATIONS

*Delve into your local area for good organic food suppliers. Find out what foods are unique to your area and enjoy making new LOCAL discoveries.

*All and any wild foods are good to know, survival knowledge in this day and age is a handy knowing to have under your wing.

*Don’t always trust everything you read (labels included)

*Try to buy foods as close to the earth in the process as possible.

*Allow skeptics to be skeptic and just follow your own instincts.

*Allow your self to be open to trying new things.

*Enjoy gardening your own edibles.

*Invest in the 4 essential items of equipment for raw food prep. If your inventive they may not be essential but make preparing food FUN and LIGHT! Mortar and pestle, solar dehydrating, old sausage makers and hand held mixers are great too.

 So…a blender, a cold press juicer and a dehydrator. Food processors are great but I have managed without one for 10 years. You can also opt for using an outdoor solar powered dehydrator. These are a lot cheaper, save on energy and easy to make at home. And last but not least, one good quality sharp knife.

*Have handy pre-made garnishes at hand in your kitchen or traveling pocket. Dried citrus zest, dried coconut, kelp flakes, herbs, seeds, nuts and spices.

*Don’t doubt it just sprout it!

*Get into SUPER FOODS! Small quantity foods, jam packed with ultra nutrients. Go on I dare you-BECOME JURRASSIC!

*Try not to get too religious with the whole raw foodism trend (unless you love that ofcourse)! You may find your self suffering from having an intolerance and sensitivity to human evolution…aaaand I hate to say it but there are plenty of people capitalizing on this ‘trend’.. Example; In one state here in Australia, someone charges approx $150 for a raw food workshop (it really gets to me when all they do is soak some almonds and blend them into pulp for nut milk and this is very basic shtuff!!!) and then I went into another state and found someone who does a very similar workshop..get this-for free :) as she just wanted to help heal the world n to me THAT’S RAWSOME :D it’s a bit like charging more for ORGANIC PRODUCE when you would think it would cost more for NON ORGANICS with all the additives and chemicals used to grow it. This particular lass had a stall at the Uki Markets where she would sell her yummy raw prepared foods...mmm!

Did you know you can buy 'Gluten Free Organic Raw Spinach' now from Coles and Woolworth supermarkets? 

;)

All i am saying is be careful and question everything that doesnt come from the soil into your own hands x

Tsk tsk..we all know we live in a backwards world at times.
