As someone who used to sell "Raw, Wild Jungle Peanuts", I can assure you that they are not raw nor wild. None of the nuts sold on the market are raw, they are all roasted. It's just a marketing scheme to charge more. They have to be cooked because most nuts, especially cashews and peanuts, will literally burn your mouth if eaten raw. Also, if nuts are not roasted, they turn to mold after a few days, no matter how you try to store them. Same with cacao beans, powder, and butter. It's all fermented, roasted under high heat, and in the case of butter and powder, highly processed. There is no such thing as "raw" cacao sold on the market, it's all a scam.
I liked the video, as always. But honestly I'd just take a fresh cacao fruit, some fresh dates or apples, and vacuum blend them. I don't like dried foods or powders, I also avoid seeds such as peanuts. Birds are much better at digesting seeds than us.
Keep the good videos!! BTW I made your purple sweet potatoes technique in the instant pot for my boys last night and they were SO good!! We even made sweet potatoes mug “brownies” with the leftovers. Just added raw cocoa powder and dates blended with warm water 😋

I have a mango tree that an old man gave it me. I planted in my backyard and fast forward years later, now l m enjoying these huge sweat juicy mangos. They re really from heaven.
John, John, John…..I know you’ve said that you’d love to meet someone and maybe even a have a family someday but THIS is not the type of date that’s gonna’ get ya’ some suga’ 😊! 😉 But seriously, thanks for the great idea! Ever thought about date sugars.
Thank you for this excellent information! I bought some Apricot kernels following a medical problem. I researched and was going to boil them for 30 minutes - which someone recommended, but ate 2 I straightaway. I think 2 - 4 a day is acceptable. The good overcomes the bad! Natural is preferable to big pharma garbage!!
I’m growing yacon in zone 5 and I’m happy with how well it is doing. Is there a way I can save some of the tubers and plant them next spring? I’m writing this in July. Thanks
Thank you John! As always, you really went above and beyond to bring us all the relevant information. I happen to have one of the top 3 brands on my shelf right now.
Joe Cross eats fish. I dont know what else but probably some processed food. Food is addictive. Thats why people go back to crap ; also their friends family, partners, associates, media, advertisers, marketers, mind etc GET TO THEM. AND they cant handle the withdrawal and detox symptoms - SO THEY BLAME THE VEGAN DIET. Ludicrous but their knowledge base of the truth of the whole picture is weak.
You're both incredible people.❤❤ Im struggling as a longterm vegan in a town dominated by two huge slaughterhouses. I struggle with the things i see - stock trucks of terrified animals day in day out - and hear... and the attitudes of the largely medicated population. I am a former NZ dairy farmer's daughter - he transitioned to horticulture which was much nicer. However my going full metal vegan in 2002 then thermo-nuclear high raw vegan 99.9 percent in 2011 after being in the Christchurch Earthquake - has isolated me from family and social groups. You guys may be interested in interviewing some former slaughterhouse workers - I was never one I am a longterm journalist and fashionista. Some ex slaughterhouse workers are vegan some are vegetarian some are not. Many are traumatised and medicated. Many are or were addicted to drugs and alcohol.
This was such a fun video. Loved the layers of ratings. I have definitely ran into date sugar issues. I used one date sugar for baking and it never dissolved, even after baking the super healthy cookies. Super helpful, thanks for all your efforts!!!
I appreciate all the hard work of figuring out the best date Sugar for us, by eating all that sugar with the evidence left behind on your face, LOL I'm going to order some of the number one date Sugar
Oxalates are one component of dates, and while individual components are all important, I dont make my food choices based on a single component of a food. I am not concerned with oxalate content of foods since I dont have kidney stones or are prone to them. Of course check with your medical doctor. If a person is on a low oxalate diet, then they may want to avoid date sugar. That being said, generally as a high calorie food, dates are not eaten in large quantity. Compared to other common dried foods 100g of fresh dates, the oxalate content ranges from 2,910 mg to 5,190 mg. (depends on cultivar) 100g of dried spinach, the oxalate content can be approximately 10,000 mg to 12,000 mg. 100g of dried kale, the oxalate content can be approximately 1,000 mg to 2,000 mg. So compared to other dried foods it is mid range. Watch ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tUqT8o4vq5w.html for my full thoughts on Oxalates and other "plant toxins" as some people would claim.
Oxalates aren't a problem, every plant has them. But dried and processed foods are a problem. I rather eat fresh dates or other fresh fruit than anything dried or turned into a sugar. I don't understand people's obsession with refined sugar, why isn't fruit enough? They probably don't have enough fat in their diet.
Oh my God, I could not love you more! As I always tell everyone, John Kohler is a national treasure! I have been using date sugar a lot more in the last few months and I really just kept thinking It would be nice to have a really high quality low cost one that I knew was the best. But I knew that would take a lot of money and experimenting to try to figure out. And then poof! You just go and do it all for me! Thank you so much! This is incredibly incredibly helpful. Never question if there is any value in what you do. This kind of thing that you do is incredibly valuable to me personally and to so many others. Thank you thank you thank you! ❤🎉
You seem to be concerned too much about the microbiome. According to studies, *stress* can alter the harmony of gut bacteria. Therefore, this can cause a decline in helpful bacteria and an increase in harmful ones. These include irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and even depression. All of them can be aggravated by stress. You focus too much on food and too little on stress.
Excellent expose, John! Caught only the tail end of this video in the premiere and was amazed to see that the full video was over an hour long! Thank you so much for putting in all that work to share such detailed info. Date sugar has been nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find in stores--so I was glad to finally find the Now brand locally--but it is pricey and I did notice that I had to use A LOT of it to get the level of sweetness I wanted in recipes. The Yupik actually sounds like the best value, so I'll definitely be picking up some next time I place an order from you-know-where! 👍
