they are similar consistency to carrots yes, and the flavour was very similar although a little more starchy. ive had no problems digesting them at all.
I like raw sweet potatoes juiced with granny smith apple and a touch of added cinnamon. It tastes like pumpkin pie but better. For a real treat, I add raw milk cream and some vanilla extract - it's heaven in a glass.
No, just juiced. I used to like raw sweet potato chopped/grated but lately I've found the fiber upset my stomach so I'd rather have it juiced or cooked.

We use spiralised sweet potatoes as pasta ;) Squeeze in some lemon juice and a pinch of salt..leave to sit for a while as this takes out some of the starch and makes it a bit softer. You can add olive oil and dehydrate after this but I usually can't wait that long ;) Top with your favourite pesto or marinara sauce on a bed or green..hey presto ;) Yum!
2 Yams
2 Tablesppons coconut butter
1 Teaspoon Celtic salt
Variation:
Add cinnamon to taste
Blend Yams in food processor with the 'S' blade until relatively smooth. Place in a glass bowl and cover with coconut mylk or water. Place bowl in dehydrator for about 3 hours at 145 degrees and then at 115 degrees for 3 hours. Remove from dehydrator when liquid has mostly evaporated. Blend in a high power blender, adding remaining ingredients.(only a high power blender will make it very creamy)
You could use them in a sweet potato pie. I just recently made a raw pumpkin pie from the Cafe Gratitude recipe. It was wonderful. I bet raw sweet potatoes would be delish.
Just take about 3 cups of sweet potatoes
The meat and water from one young coconut
Pumpkin pie spices: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg
Add agave to taste....around 1/4 cup
Lecithin will thicken it but I assume you can use chia powder or flax also....might be a different texture.
Make your standard crust using pecans, dates, etc.
4 cups sweet potato
1 1/2 cups pecans
1/2 cup dates,soaked
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp celtic salt
1/4 cup raw honey
Place 1/2 cup pecans, sweet potato, dates, cinnamon and touch of water if needed in food processor. In a separate dish combine remaining pecans, salt and honey, scatter over the top.
This is a favorite at the raw potlucks or anyplace else I take it.
Haha PLA - I still love eggs - especially more than tongue. I said when I saw that tongue when I was little "what if it could taste you back?"
The shell is the big plus with eggs. The bloom and the shell make the egg almost impenetrable to anything…

There are not many shops anywhere in the UK carrying raw foods! Detox Your World are the brand to look out for in shops, it might even be worth contacting them to see if they have any shops in your area that stock their products. (Although you might…
