[@msariela08]

First video of yours I'm watching and you definitely had me laughing, thanks for the info and entertainment!

[@MsFitVegan]

Omgosh Thank you so so much 🙏🏼💞🍉

[@fannychen3602]

Thank you for sharing the information on the dates as I have brought them many times in Costco.🥰

[@andreaanonymous5474]

Good news! Those dates are not heat treated or steamed. Some of that brands pitted dates are steamed though. I just heard back from Sundate. I will post their reply I received below. :) Email from SunDate: Our dates are generally raw/not heated, including our whole Medjool and whole Deglet Noor dates. The one exception being our pitted Deglet Noor dates, which are steamed at around 170F in order to facilitate efficient machine pitting. Our pitted Medjool dates are pitted by hand, which does not require heating.

[@MsFitVegan]

Omg Thank you so so much 🙏🏼💞🍉 you are INCREDIBLE

[@leahpollard3710]

I love when u curse lol, im from NY. "Ive never seen a fcking ripe pineapple at costco" lol. I do buy my pineapples almost ripe at Stop and Shop, if u put your nose to the bottom and it smells like a pineapple and once that part gets tender it will ripen. It will get there on your shelf. If i saw the ones at Costco i wouldn't buy those either, because who knows? I am like u and like my fruit very ripe and sweet. I wish u had shown the prices at your costco im curious what a pineapple costs in your neck of the woods. Mine on Long Island are $2.50 each and thats a pretty good price here. So sorry your audio didn't get recorded. thank u for making the video again!!!!

[@jasmyne-q7b]

yes, girl! you have remedied my fear of Costco!!! another tip: Navitas pomegranate powder is 30% powdered sugar by weight (a processing agent, not required to be labelled in USA)

[@jam1369]

So helpful!

[@christyrobertson9820]

You’re not going to disrespect watermelon on my watch 🤣

[@andreaanonymous5474]

I would be really upset about those dates not being raw, I eat those all the time in my home made salad dressings. I'll see if I can get a hold of the company in the next week or so and find out one way or another. As soon as I find out I will come back and post what I find out here. The trick to making fruit like the yellow kiwis seem more like a meal, is slicing up a few bananas and eating the two together mixed in a bowl. It's a good combination. I wasn't sure if you knew this or not, most dried fruit is dried at very high temperatures. So technically its not raw. Just fyi, in case you didn't know. :) UPDATE : Those dates are not steamed, or heat treated. Email I received from SunDate: Our dates are generally raw/not heated, including our whole Medjool and whole Deglet Noor dates.

Omgosh please please please keep us posted with your findings 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🩷 and that’s such a great point about the bananas and kiwis! Really great point!

When mangosteen is hard, you can’t even cut through it. These fruits are really hard to get good quality. They cost like $17 per pound in NY and most of them are messed up. 😢 However, if you do get a good one, it tastes unbelievable 😊❤

[@WeCaredALot]

Thank you for this video! I've always felt like dried fruit tasted too good to be true 😆. Also, I learned something new when you talked about fruit that only ripens on the vine. Thanks for that info!

[@MsFitVegan]

Thank you so so much 🙏🏼💞🍉

[@WeCaredALot]

@@MsFitVegan No worries! Also, do you ever have any live Q&A videos? I love your channel and just started a high raw lifestyle about a month ago and would love to ask some questions

[@blessedkinks216]

Also when looking at ingredients look at the nutrition facts too. The ingredients may not say it has sugar but the facts will say “*added* sugars: 2%”.

[@MsFitVegan]

Ooooooooooh great tip

[@blessedkinks216]

Your always dropping gems 💎 and helping me so much on my journey! I also tune in to your podcast, thank you 🍉💕

[@jasmyne-q7b]

there are over 60 flow agents and processing aids in "raw organic" that do not have to be labelled in the USA

[@krissy1133]

That watermelon though!!! YUMMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another one of my favorites is the Yellow dragon fruit!! Great informational videos! 🥰❤

[@MsFitVegan]

Thank you so so much 🙏🏼💞🍉

[@jam1369]

It's sooo upsetting about all of these companies!!!!! We all need to start health food companies and farms and do it right!

[@donnaabood7876]

Trust me when I say I can Not control myself with dried mango🙄 i too can not have them in my house! 😢

[@Kamasutrae]

I once ate an unripe kiwi. It litterally burned my tongue AND slipt the first 2mm of my tongue in two, like dried soil in a garden. It was also bleeding. I was 7 yo. I learn my lesson with the kiwi. 😂😂

[@MsFitVegan]

Omg

[@Heather-fx7sr]

I just got some organic black grapes from Costco and they’re AMAZING, almost taste like lychee!!

[@MsFitVegan]

Mmmmmmm omgeeeee 🥰😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@MsFitVegan]

Grapes are my candy!!!! 😛😛😛😛

[@jsledge26]

Jollies is my favorite brand for dates

[@MsFitVegan]

Oh yes that’s a good one

[@VeganowledgeJJ]

Oh how nice! You have an entire cart for me too?

[@OfficeAdministration-qw7ix]

For the dates this is what the company says - Our growing, harvesting, storage and packing processes are designed to minimize the chances of contamination and include an organic certified clean water rinse just prior to packaging. Interesting

[@MsFitVegan]

Woah!!!! Thank you so so much 🙏🏼💞🍉 that’s suspect…..

[@David__________]

i’ve been thinking of replacing my 1000 calorie rice dinners with just dried fruit, specially mangos I herd are very good and I hate cooking so its perfect ✨

[@MsFitVegan]

Better than rice! For sure

[@Sunnyfruit1111]

Have you tried hemp seed butter? It's really good. What's your favorite seed/nut butter? Btw I buy raw nut and seed butters online

[@MsFitVegan]

Ooooh no I have never heard of it! I do you have a brand you recommend???

[@Sunnyfruit1111]

@@MsFitVegan Yes! I recommend the brand "medi oils" they have many nut and seed butters all organic and raw! They have: tahini, black tahini, hazlenut, walnut, pumpkin seed, almond, sunflower seed. I think these are all if I'm not mistaken. If you can't get this brand shipped to you for some reason, another one I was looking at is sun and seed but I don't have any of theirs. I think medi oils is a greek brand so it's easier to ship to me but I think if you search for raw organic nut and seed butters you'll find plenty of brands and you can be the judge of what looks good to you ❤️🌰🥜 I wanted something else other than tahini and I searched for them and I might get the rest of the medi oil butters to have for different flavors

[@jasmyne-q7b]

@@Sunnyfruit1111 so, insulin resistance mechanism in the body is a natural cycle, right, to prioritize breaking down fat over fermenting sugar, if it goes above 10%. this mechanism works extremely well in me, and i break out each time i try oil. maybe the type of fat matters, as well?

[@Sunnyfruit1111]

@@jasmyne-q7b nuts and seeds have fiber, oil doesn't. Oil in general, no matter which one, is extremely high in fat and is more acidic and mucus forming than nuts and seeds preferably raw.

[@Sunnyfruit1111]

@@jasmyne-q7b avocado is also great, as well as coconut. Avocado I think can become quite heavy if used in excess but I think is healthier since it is a fruit and has lots of nutrients.

[@debbiehartwell8465]

So sad that all those pineapple are just wasted. Cause they pick them to soon

[@MsFitVegan]

Yep. So so fuckin sad

[@jimmielovett226]

Ah so Costco is basically just like Sam’s

[@jenniferschaffer1625]

It kills me too when these companies put random crap in dried fruit!?!?!

[@MsFitVegan]

SAAAAAAAAAAME

[@adamd9418]

You mentioned your teeth and I think I've sort of done the same. Could you expand on that?

[@MsFitVegan]

Check out my books Raw Vegan excuses part one and two on Amazon. I explain everything 🩷

[@jasmyne-q7b]

phosphate forms of salt or calcium in TINY amounts (micrograms) helped my teeth a little bit, but maybe there is some kickback once you stop taking them? i am looking into african herbs

[@lala.kerimova]

Where is it ?

Where ? Miami
