Not a good thing to seperate a food into its components it seems. The resulting product is rendered quite diminished. Are there raw olives you can just eat or are they enedible?
there are raw olives, definitely. most of the packaged raw food companies are selling some. our favorite are the botija olives from peru (sold as peruvian olives sometimes). we do less and less olive oil these days. :) whole food works best!
Condiments are crap and just take people further away from whole foods. I am really opinionated on this subject. If someone is craving olive, eat some fricken raw olives or chop and add to dishes. Bariani out of Sacamento (I met the man, he's so nice)... Oliflix out of Southern CA are 2 raw olive oils in CA for those who must use olive oil. On another note, I love your hat and grape noses and new cookbook intro. I needed that tonight, cheered me up.
while we think the whole food is best always, we cant say olive oil is complete crap. there are astronomical healing benefits to it internally and externally when it is raw and organic. it id ESSENTIAL to cleansing the gall bladder, as well :) yeah, bariani is a sweetheart. glad you enjoyed the sillyness. we like to be nuts...like coconuts! :)
thank you so much. coconut is not necessarily better, just different profile of fats. coconut is full of good medium chain fatty acids and is a more saturated fat, and has a higher melting point to cook with without destroying the oil. but you still have to ask the compnay how they got the water out to see if it is raw if you are using for raw purposes. both oils can be VERY nourishing for skin, hair, joints, heart, etc...
olive oil goes thru a first press where they press the olives to extract the oil. some companies leave the oil with some of the oilve particles still in in, it looks a litle cloudy, and is thick. then they bottle it (but you have to check still to see if they have heated it). then other companies press it more and more times and get it very clear and smooth and the particles leave. cold pressed just means the press itself is cold. see my comment to permacultureli, too...thanks!
wait wait!!!!!!....whatabout organic first cold pressed?....is that not a raw product?....jeeezzzz...I thought I was getting it right ...I'll look into it.
cold pressed just means that when they actually press the olives at first to take out some oil, the press uses no heat. but they can do whatever they want after that. they can even cook the oil and then tell you it is cold pressed olive oil...technically it is cold pressed. unfortunately most bottles only tell you half of the truth, which is why you have to call. bummer
Hmmm...I had been suspicious of my olive oil---wondering if it is raw, that is---I will look into other brands now. (That is one of the reasons why I tell people that we are 95% raw, not 100%. Eventhough we make good efforts to be 100%, we know things slip thru the cracks! I also "cheat" with salad dressings sometimes.) Really interesting to learn the different methods used to extract the oil.
Oh, I love organic grapes. They are a nice sweet touch to baby green salads.
thank you for the advice!
