Guest guest Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 I'd like to know what your opinion of Tamari is. I know it's not raw, but is it a living food (fermented)? The brand I have doesn't say it's pasturized, but is it? What's your general opinion of its use in the raw diet? Also, for those of you who avoid grains, does that include corn? What has your experience been with digestion of raw corn? How about dehydrated corn crackers? Thanks! Tina Bystrom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tina, Many raw foodists use Nama Shoyu, especially as a transitional food to help them stay raw. I've only used it on extremely rare occasions and did not feel that well when using it. It would often show up in the food at gourmet raw restaurants or special events, such as the upcoming raw festival. It is certainly not an ideal food, but if you feel fine with it for now and it helps you stay raw, then it may be a good choice for you. I used a lot of sea salt in my first 1 - 1 1/2 years, and use it on and off now. Our bodies adapt and remind us when we shouldn't have something, especially as our bodies heal and clean out. So, I wouldn't recommend it as an ideal food, but it has probably helped people to stay raw initially. >Also, for those of you who avoid grains, does that include corn? >What has your experience been with digestion of raw corn? How about >dehydrated corn crackers? I have not been too drawn to corn, but have eaten some and have made soup with it. I don't recall any digestion problem. I have not done much dehydration. I have enjoyed it at potlucks, but can't give you that much advice. Again, dehydrated foods are not an ideal food, but are tasty, crunch, and much better for a person than " traditional " foods, and likely help people stay raw. They certainly add a variety of tastes and textures to raw foods. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
