Say you had fruit all day, but somehow didn't have fruit for dinner and were hungry. Should you wait it out until you get fruit the next morning or have steamed rice/yams/whatever?
Permalink Reply by Paul Biermann on Your best option (if u have it) would be to drink several litres of fruit juice. Though, if you have none, I would probably resort to potatoes or yams (tubers are easier on digestion than grains). I think it's more important to get enough calories than to eat only fruit. I tried going on a raw vegan diet before (this is my second go) and I became sickly because I was massively undereating. I always keep a 10 kg bag of potatoes in my basement for just in the rare instance that I run out of fruit. I would definently say go for yams, get your carbs in, and in the future, keep a jug of orange juice in the fridge just incase. Best of luck! :)

me i would prefer to fast for the night but of course if you should get in danger than to eat something worse you'd better take the rice (or potatoes).
Permalink Reply by Reed on I think you mean flash pasteurized. Flash Pasteurizing > 70C or 158 degrees F for 20 seconds is usually how they get the fruit juice to keep longer. It's not as damaging as cooking as you still retain most of the vitamins and you'll have reduced damage from oxidation over cooking. Fresh is better but flash pasteurizing would be an intermediary step compared to all out cooking.

Permalink Reply by Reed on Just eat the yams or rice. Cooking might kill some of the vitamins and nutrients but eating starch is better than starving.
Also many people that eat dates don't realize that at least in America the majority of them are dried at >160 degrees and are actually cooked. If fruit has a label and the vitamin C = 0% then it's cooked as they dried them in temps that cooked them and killed the vitamin C. Fresh fruits rarely ever have nutritional labels on them.
Permalink Reply by ednshell on you can test your dates for rawness/aliveness by putting a piece in hydrogen peroxide and if it bubbles, it is raw. So far, I have found the pitted ones to be "cooked" and the non-pitted still raw.

If you eat the rice/yams your still eating a diet of HCLF vegan food.
