Most of us were raised with sandwiches and crackers...just about everything we had for lunches and snacks required one or the other.
Can you remember having peanut putter and jam in the house but no bread? Ham or bologna, and cheese? Mayo, mustard, and left-over chicken?...but no bread or crackers to put them on? Aaarrrggghh!!
Switching over to a High Raw diet requires quite a change of habits...and thinking!
So I headed out to find something I could put "stuff" on that was raw, ie. unbaked. No, I'm not ready to invest the time, energy, or funds into a dehydrator. Surely someone who finds this whole process a little simpler than I do has thought of this, and prepared something for me to buy, ready-made!
Rescue!!! So far, I have found three local retailers that make and sell "raw crackers" and I bet there's more!
Organic Lives (1829 Quebec @ West 2nd Ave) has 2 varieties:
* Vegetable Crackers made with mostly raw, organic: carrots, onions, cabbage, celery, flax seed, basil, oregano, dill, sea salt
* Sesame Onion Gaufrettes (French delicacy) made with mostly raw, organic: sprouted sesame seeds, oranges, red onions, dates, lemon juice, sea salt
Gorilla Food (436 Richards) - haven't tried them yet but will!
Eternal Abundance (1025 Commercial Dr) - haven't tried them yet but will!
And let's not forget the lowly Lettuce Wrap, first made popular by Milestones, which can hold all manner of yummy things, if you find yourself getting tired of eating your stir-fry, salad, or veggies on a plate!
I buy mine at Superstore and haven't found an organic source yet.
Today's lunch:
Organic Lives Veggie Crackers, smothered with mashed avocado, decorated with a tomato slice, and powdered with a little Spike!
Go Raw! (or keep trying...)
