| Wai 08-12-2002 12:35 PM | quote: quote:You can find high quality cold pressed olive oils in shops. At the moment I'm VERY happy with Due Angeli extra virgin olive oil. The good thing about eating raw is that your whole body is less sedated (by opioid peptides and beta-carbolines), and that your body therefore warns you much sooner against foods that are not so good. Consuming not so good olive oil, your body will dislike consuming the oil, within days / a few weeks. Listen to your body. |

| justmarvin 08-12-2002 12:41 PM | quote:Yes, the quality of oil is a major concern. However, you can tell a fresh oil by taste. I hear bad oils have a slight fish-like taste. Any tips on detecting rancid oils, Wai? On the positive note, olive oil is a more versatile oil and less likely to get rancid compared to other types of oils. The olive oil, Tehama Gold, that I recommended had a lovely taste. It had a wonderful peppery zing to it. I believe they tell you when they harvest their olives, how they process it, and the date it was processed. Depended on the season of harvest, the flavors vary. I recently purchased a greek olive oil from elenigourmet.com, but it did not compare to Tehama Gold. I could hardly taste anything which makes me question the quality of the oil. I still use it as a salad dressing. I do, however, enjoy the olives (curred with sea salt), oregano, and the grape vinegar that I got from elenigourmet.com Well, just my two cents. God bless!

| Panda 08-12-2002 12:44 PM | Hi, speaking of olive oil, approximately how much do I need to drink after every time I've eaten some fruit? I thought I might get it more accurate if I drank it separately from the salad. |
| justmarvin 08-12-2002 12:46 PM | In my oppinion oil is best taken with foods with or after a meal. Anyways, to answer your question:quote:I would think it would be ok to use liberally as a "salad dressing" for the wai's salad combination. I wouldn't take too much if you're not eating it together with the salad; Probably one to two tablespoons if not eaten with the salad would suffice. Also, a very important note -- Make sure your oil is extra virgin and cold pressed olive oil! I would NOT recommend purchasing your olive oil from the supermarket. Tehama Gold is the brand that I would recommend which you could purchase online in their website. Search Tehama Gold at a search engine and you'll find it, if you don't then i'll look up the url for you. God bless! Kevin |
