The Frugivore Diet

Spain (Madrid)

Hello! I am spending the summer in Madrid and I will also be traveling to lots of different parts of Spain. I would really enjoy having some vegan friends to meet up with! Is anyone living or spending time in this city who wants to hang out?

Buying organic fruit in bulk in London

2012-03-01T09:01:20.000Z

Hi everyone!

I live in London and thinking of going raw. I am vegan and already eat low fat but its mostly cooked food. I need an advice where Londoners buy their ripe organic fruits from before i can start transitioning. Supermarkets just don't cut it, the choice is so poor and fruit are never ripe...

On monday I am going to India for a 6 week holiday but probably moving there long term sometime in the next couple of years. Can anyone give me advice about eating raw greens in India/Asia? Is washing in bottled water sufficient? And if you've any other advice re eating 811 there it would be most welcome!

Thank you!

St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.

Whole Foods, 2 off of highway 40, both close to 270 is the best place to quickly get produce. Best Nature is an hour or so South West. Many clear, clean rivers to paddle and swim.

Adelaide, Australia

2010-04-07T08:54:41.000Z

There aren't any dedicated raw restaurants or cafes here in Adelaide, though there is at least one raw-friendly vegetarian place that I can think of.

Bliss Organic Cafe at 7 Compton Street has some raw options on their menu, and they also sell some raw groceries.

Of course there is the Adelaide Central Markets on Gouger/Grote Streets: the only place you need to know to get your fresh fruit and veg. Open Tuesday to Saturday, plus late night Fridays. The only thing is that on Wednesdays you may find that some stalls are closed, as Wednesday trading is a relatively new concept.

There's a good market on Sundays at the Adelaide Showgrounds, only open til 1pm though.

Other markets of interest are the Willunga Market on Saturdays, the Torrens Island Market on Sundays, and the Organic Market in Stirling, which is open 7 days a week.

Please feel free to add to this list if I have missed anything.

Guam (the whole island - not that big :)

2010-04-06T11:27:18.000Z

Guam has a wonderful tropical climate and fruit GALORE!! However, the US military heavily populates the island and brought in all the junk along with it. Many locals make their money selling fruit to tourists so it can get hard to acquire bulk & at a fair price.

Best places to find fruit:

Mangiloa Farmer's Market - the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month from 6-11pm. Go around 7:30 and they will already start making deals. Papaya for $1, mango, star apple, avocado, cucumber, atis (sugar apple), passionfruit, bananas, watermelon, fruit trees, and plenty more. This is my favorite spot.

Payless Supermarkets - if your not a local or can't swing a local deal at the farmer's markets - they have the same local stuff here and the store at Micronesia Mall has a great selection of raw nuts, organic produce, and other stuff.

The Commissaries: The grocers on the bases will sell you a box of ripe bananas for $6 plus they have a lot of local produce & will order ahead as well. Get your organic greens here - best prices.

Route 1 (Marine Corps Drive) - From the Air Force base down to Dededo Farmer's Market there are about three smaller stands/markets which are great.

Dededo Farmer's Market - There is usually someone out until 6pm everyday but the big boys play on Saturday & Sunday from 6am until 6pm (starts to die off around 2)...also don't overlook the stands hidden in the back next to the extra parking (these guys have great deals).

Chamorro Village - There is usually a farmer's market here although the times are never the same. The sign says that its a day market during the week but there not always out. On Wednesday nights when they have the local celebration the market is open but closes around 8pm. Steer clear of the chicken on a stick - some people seriously try to push that junk in your face!!

Hugo Gange Farms in Dededo: Organic farming & he apparently has a fruit & veggie stand although I am still looking for more info on this guy.

Hamomoto Fruit World - A great little touristy place in the hills of Yona. They have tours of their jungles and how they cultivate the land. They serve up a fruit buffet although the total for all this is like $25 but its a nice day activity. You can probably swing some deals from this guy.

Restaurants:

I still don't have much experience eating out here as I try to avoid it but lets give it a go:

Jamacian Grill - A popular spot for all your unhealthy friends but they have something for you as well!! They have a fresh fruit salad & beautiful greens for the entree. Just ask for the fruit salad and the regular salad without the dressing & onions.

Cafe Dharma is located in the Synergy Yoga studio. They label themselves as a RAW restaurant but I say otherwise. The two entrees they have labeled as Raw both include items that are not (hummus made with chickpeas & kelp noodles). Pretty much everything else on their menu including the smoothies contain things like maca powder, kelp, and a bunch of other silly ingredients. I went in looked at the menu, asked a couple questions and left disappointed as they didn't even have fruit to make me a yummy drink.

Healthfood Stores

There are a couple "health food stores". They mostly have superfoods & a bunch of junk at Guam prices (high). Healthy Hearts Organics is a waste of time. Nuts & Grains has a lunch bar in their store but its just lean meat on a sandwich with sprouts & special bread - nothing of interest.

Simply Food has a great selection of products including nuts & seeds (raw), vegan/vegetarian foods, as well as bath products. They also have a vegetarian lunch restaurant which includes a nice salad bar with plenty for 811ers. The majority of the stuff they sell here can be bought at Payless at a much cheaper price.
