Substitutions!

Posted by Christina on March 13, 2012 at 12:20am

I've finally gotten myself a copy of 80-10-10 and noticed how tomato-heavy the meal plans are. I wanted to start myself back on the raw food diet by following his meal plans but generally try to avoid nightshades as they make me all congested.

What are your favourite substitutes to tomato and capsicum/bell peppers?

    Well, obviously the other nonsweet fruits like cucumbers and raw okra, but I've found that the tamarind pod used in sauces/dressings reminds me of tomato-based sauces (even though it tastes nothing like tomato--rather, sour and tangy).

      Thanks! I haven't seen tamarind at my fruit market, but will keep my eye out. I haven't used okra before- is there anything needed to prepare it? Do you peel it?

      Nope, just cut off both ends and munch

    Hey Christina,

    I have a nightshade free lfrv recipe book coming out in the next couple of weeks which has tons of ideas on how to make delicious meals without using any nigthshades. I'll let you know when it's out if you'd like :)

    Take care,

    Esperanza

      Thanks Esperanza, but I've already purchased the 80-10-10 and freelee's book and can't afford anymore! This lifestyle has doubled my food bill already so the budget is even tighter now! Lol
