Guest guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Candace, which items were you not able to find? Most of these should be available at just about any health food store? with exception of vanilla powder - which you can easily sub from scrappings out of a vanilla bean pod.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I can get all these ingredients at my local Safeway. What ingredients are you questioning? Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 OK this just shows you how small my food knowledge is.... 1-1/2 Cups Almonds or Pecans ----- Where would you get these? I don't remember ever seeing nuts just sitting around at my grocery store (Super Target) maybe I need to go to a different one!?!?! 1/2 Cup Pitted and Soaked Medjool Dates --- when I see the word "dates" I think prunes. Am I close? Where do I find them if they're not? And what are "medjool" dates? 1 Handful of Shredded Coconut --my first instinct would be to look by the raisins and prunes but I have honestly NEVER bought or used coconut in anything I've made!!! You can stop shaking your head now. 3 Cups Soaked Cashews-- again. Where do I get nuts like this? I know they have canned nuts but those are salty and gross so I'm guesing that's not what its talkin about!!! 12 Tbsp of Agave Nectar ---- NO clue on this one!1 Tbsp of Vanilla Bean Powder - No clue on this one either! Vanilla Bean Powder? Never heard of it! ~clueless in MN~ Candace From: SV <shavig@...>Subject: Re: Fw:Raw Cheesecake!health Date: Monday, May 11, 2009, 8:18 PM I can get all these ingredients at my local Safeway.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 try taking the recipe to a local grocery store and see if they can help you identify / find the ingredients... that way, you'll be able to gather all ingredients while there instead of gathering descriptions via email only to have the same problem finding them at the store. hope that helps! good luck!

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Well the grocery store I go to has a bunch of 15 year olds working there. Last time I asked a question they didn't know what ginger was! Turns out they didn't have any - which is why I couldn't find it. Maybe I'll try a new store altogether!

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 That's another thing I've been meaning to do.... see if I can't find a health food store closer to my apt. A lady at work goes to one that's over an hour away! With all the focus (by a growing # of people) there has to be one closer! I was hoping all these things were common enough I could get them local. But my local grocery store doesn't have much selection so I guess its time to hop in my car...... P.S. Am I the last to find out that baby carrots are soaked in water and chlorine before bagged? And that's what the white is after a few days of having them... chlorine coming out. I'm learning all sorts of gross stuff out these days.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Candace, if you cant find all the ingredients in close enough driving distance, then try here: http://livesuperfoods.com/seeds.html They dont have the greatest prices, but i think if you factor in driving more than 30 minutes away (and Back) or more if you have to go to multiple places, it may come out to be just as affordable? Also instead of driving around, do an online search for a Whole Foods or Trader Joe's who both have organics (and TJ's is way more affordable) then plan your weekly or monthly purchases around the trip if you can? It's at least a 40minute trip one-way for me to the closest Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, but i dont mind since the 2-stores are within 10min of each other and i usually plan my shopping trips to that side of town good luck, Syl > > > > > > > > > > > > Mmmmmmm this looks deeeeeeeeeeeeelicio us! > > > > I can tell what a raw food baby I am when I don't recognize or have the 1st clue where on earth I'd find 1/2 the ingredients! > > > > I'll learn. > > Candace > > > > > > > Crust Ingredients > > > > 1-1/2 Cups Almonds or Pecans > > 1/2 Cup Pitted and Soaked Medjool Dates (soak in water for at least 30 mins) > > 1 Handful of Shredded Coconut (just enough to coat the bottom of the pan) > > > > Cheesecake Ingredients > > > > 3 Cups Soaked Cashews (soak in water for at least 30 mins) > > 8 to 12 Tbsp of Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice > > 12 Tbsp of Agave Nectar > > 1 Tbsp of Vanilla Bean Powder > > > > Optional Fruit Topping > > > > Pick your favorite fruit(s) > > > > Directions > > > > 1.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Don't know how true this is, but I read that 'baby' carrots don't grow that way. They are regular carrots that are older damaged or otherwise something wrong with them that are cut down to that size , to sell.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I watched a Food Network thingy on carrots, and they actually showed the process of making "baby" carrots. They are just sliced regular carrots, peeled, and "processed in a special solution to preserve freshness". I never buy them. I just take regular carrots, scrub them (I don't peel our carrots) and cut them to desired sizes depending on what I'm using them for. gets carrots almost every day in his school lunch. His lunches are mostly fruits, at least two types, and veggies, usually carrots and broccoli (though he is warming up to cauliflower), and an organic juice drink. Some mixed nuts (like us), and a special treat. As always, Peace, love, laughter More reasons to buy ORGANIC!i did not know that about baby carrots either, but i only buy the organic baby's which are usually quite sweet.I will however make sure to let my family that do not buy organic know about this!Syl ..

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Thgere are really some varieties that are tiny, like Babbette or Fingerlings. Then there are the ones that are cut down to size and water blasted.
