Guest guest Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 Monte, No doubt one man's seedsauce is another man's seedmixture. Thus said there are a few basics about seeds and the raw food diet. 1. Seeds are rich in vegetable fats and thus set the hormones moving. It follows that is you want a more subdued sex life; then stint yourself on vegetable fats, avocados included. 2. Vegetable fats are essential to health even for those who are slimming or have cholesterol problems. 3. Seeds have enzyme inhibitors which stop them growing when not enough humidity is around. This may explain why some people find them a bit hard to digest, they get stuck to the digestive tract, etc. You can get around these phenomena by soaking them until they sprout; then all the positive enzymes mix in with your own. 4. The human digestive tract likes things simple and not in mixed up potions which send the gut into a complex mode trying to process a load of elements simultaneously. The digestive tract is happier when we separate our foods with a gap which allows time for the stomach to process its contents and walk from one food source another. By contrast " Civilization " finds that one food can help another to taste great as with cheese and wine or curry and condiment where the wine " breaks down " the fats and the bland condiments contrast as with say the spicy meat. In raw food eating such contrasting needs are fewer, however I admit, there a delight in throwing a few fresh herbs in with other green leaves. Of course there are books on these subjects but if, as you jint, you are new on the block, these pointers may help.

Speaking of which does anyone know what 'seedsauce' is?? It is mentioned in a Raw Food recipe but the recipe does not explain what it is. I can certainly 'guess' but I would rather 'know'. thanks Monte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
