Please more on storing food. Used to drive me nuts buying cilantro and having it go bad in a couple days, now I can store store bought cilantro for over a week and home grown for at least 2 weeks.
Most herbs are best stored wrapped in slightly dampened paper (I used to use paper towels but now use brown paper bags), within a plastic bag and in the refrigerator. Sometimes it can be beneficial to suck all the air out of the bag or else blow into the bag almost like a balloon.
Overall, big money savings on quality produce. Those romaine hearts are valuable on a raw vegan diet. Wow, those peppers... soup, salad, juice, or my fave... eat 'em like an apple. John, I get to the Hollywood market often, 2/3 of the Sundays. Would be great to meet you there. Watched, uh, quite a few of these vids over the years. Cheers!
If you feel like your getting a cold lay on your side and fill your ear with hydrogen peroxide, it will start bubbling like crazy.When the fizzing settles down do the other ear 8-10 min per ear. Not Medical Advice.
Vegan Footsoldier oh my goodness, do not drink hydrogen peroxide! I grew up with ear issues, and my mom would put it in my ears. I no longer do that. if you do though, dilute it with water. I prefer to flush my ears regularly with as warm water as I can stand with one of those blue sqeeze bulbs. If I feel my lymph around them getting enflamed I rub a citrus based, lime is my favorite, essential oil over the lymph just in front of the ear, and even all around it. Clears it up nicely for me. also nix the sugar and dairy, or slam some and see. I think I have a systemic candida fungal infection in my ears, so I am going to start using fractionated coconut oil with frankincense as ear drops, or at least smear it around the outer rim. ive just lived with it so long Im sort of used to it, so I keep forgetting to be consistent. But Im also interested in using papaya seeds to clear parasites. and on my way to fully plant based.
I have a problem with Persian Cukes. They go bad in fridge after about a week. They told me to store them in temps in mid 30's but they still go bad. And at those temps my milk and water freeze.
32 degrees blueberries Mangos between 50 and 55 degrees Red and orange Peppers around 45 degrees Tomatoes store outside the fridge Cucumbers store between 50 and 55 degrees Bananas between 56 and 60 degrees Lettuce store around 32 degrees Purple carrots in a plastic bag around 32 degrees Minola oranges stores around 55 degrees Cabbage stores around 32 degrees Lemons stores between 45 and 54 degrees Valencia oranges stores between 32 and 40 degrees Mandarin Tangerines stores around 45 degrees
Just seeing this, very helpful. Also washing everything after bringing home, in water with an added good splash of vinegar & then rinsing again in plain water. Extends life of fresh food greatly. Even works for raspberries! No vinegar taste left behind.
Allan McCoshan Always modify things to make them work for you. Research wholesale markets in your area and buy what is in season and what works for your diet and budget. Where there's a will, there's a way!
Elaine Jackson Yes. Organic food producers can use some amounts of natural pesticides, but you would have to research more on that. Sometimes there are organizations that have even higher standards than the USDA Organic seal, such as CCOF. Growing your own is always best, but do what you can! Also check out some videos on the clean 15 and dirty dozen to know when you are still somewhat safe buying conventional if that works better for your budget.
Thanks for the storage tips. Here in Michigan I'm pulling boxes of locally grown blueberries from my freezer to make pies right now. Only way to keep them in Michigan winters!
is it true that farmers use beets as a way of cleaning the soil of chemicals for the next growing season. how do we know if the beets we purchase are free of this process
I am beginning to see why you lack the youthful glow of most raw vegans. Not only do you eat too much sugar/fructose but you eat moldy foods. You shouldn't eat moldy food. Mold's are often toxic and very mutagenic/carcinogenic. Just avoiding the visible mold doesn't spare you the harm molds can cause because the visible portion is merely the portion which produces spores. The mold will extend throughout the food via microscopic tendrils or "roots" called "mycelia". Once it is moldy it is best to throw it out.
A little sugar is ok. I try to keep it at less than 50g/day. Complex carbs are better than simple carbs and sugars. It's all about glycemic index. Fruits are high in sugar but that sugar is offset by the fiber which helps keep blood sugar steady. It helps to consume a high level of protein with high sugar foods. Keep in mind that fruits have been bred to be sweeter than they were originally. This has made them unhealthy and is a cause of many diseases such as diabetes. Eat the natural less sweet varieties rather than the sweeter strains bred by humankind if you can.
Not to be harsh but one commenter even asked why John looks like an alcoholic. It's probably because all the sugar and carbs which John consumes actually ferments into alcohol in the gut. That will happen if you consume too much carbs. Not only that but fructose will damage your liver like alcohol does. Its important to get the balance of carbs, fats, and proteins right. It helps to keep sweet fruits to a minimum and eat more non-sweet fruits such as cucumbers and squash.
John I love your enthusiasm..., you're like a kid in a candy store! :-)

have you ever eaten papaya seeds and have you ever stuck chilli in your nostrils to cure a cold?
If you feel like your getting a cold lay on your side and fill your ear with hydrogen peroxide, it will start bubbling like crazy.When the fizzing settles down do the other ear 8-10 min per ear. Not Medical Advice.
atripa645 can i also drink the hydrogen peroxide? And is it still raw with all enzymes?

BOTH - I tried eating papaya seeds once or twice (never again) and I inadvertently picked my nose after chopping chilies (also never again!).
Reverend Eslam lol
Thanks John,, you give the best information.. I appreciate that..

Chelsea
Penelope Potts Wholesale produce markets. Google them in your area and see what you can find!
Can you post video of nutrition and blood test results?
Confused so much simply how to set refrigerator temperature to store vegetable or fruit 44° what centigrade or feraninat jumble
Celsius and Fahrenheit.
I have a problem with Persian Cukes. They go bad in fridge after about a week. They told me to store them in temps in mid 30's but they still go bad. And at those temps my milk and water freeze.
I know it’s been 4 years, but what did you pay for the 2 cases of cactus fruit?
Also, just used your Amazon link 🤙
Woohoo! Haven't seen a video like this on storage, this goes into some really awesome detail! Thanks for the resources and suggestions 👌

why don't you just buy a Van mate? Much easier to getthings done with if you are gardening and shopping for large volumnes
Can you make a video showing what's the retail price on frut and vegetables in Los Angeles area??
could you provide a list of the best temps for most common veg & fruit.- or the best overall temp for everything?
Kia should make a bigger version of that car. They could call it the Fiftay :-)
Do you use residential refrigerators or smaller specialty refrigerators?
yum love me some beets,in stores here they are woody and soft to touch it sucks,Love your videos
Will the berry breeze hurt my ferments that are in the fridge?

John by chance do you live in Las Vegas.
Very helpful. Thanks 🌺 💚 🍓
AWESOME prices!
and what are your thoughts on canning?
Just seeing this, very helpful. Also washing everything after bringing home, in water with an added good splash of vinegar & then rinsing again in plain water. Extends life of fresh food greatly. Even works for raspberries! No vinegar taste left behind.
This might work living in lala land, but up here in the great white north during the winter months a lot of what you say does not work here.
Allan McCoshan Always modify things to make them work for you. Research wholesale markets in your area and buy what is in season and what works for your diet and budget. Where there's a will, there's a way!
do we need to purchase organic to confirm the grower has not used dangerous pesticides?
Elaine Jackson Yes. Organic food producers can use some amounts of natural pesticides, but you would have to research more on that. Sometimes there are organizations that have even higher standards than the USDA Organic seal, such as CCOF. Growing your own is always best, but do what you can!

My Lacinato has made it through some single digits this winter. So hardy!
Thanks for the storage tips. Here in Michigan I'm pulling boxes of locally grown blueberries from my freezer to make pies right now. Only way to keep them in Michigan winters!
thanks John. just what i needed
I had a fantastic laugh on the prices you mentioned for your produce. Very funny. Next time get real! But, keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for the informative videos. So jealous of your cheap California produce!
Thanks for the share! :)

I prefer to leave my fruit out of the fridge but with that much produce I would have no choice. damn enjoy
Need time stamps
You should do a video about La Sierra Natural Foods market in Riverside California
You must so worn out after you do a video,you give so much info, amazing i bet you like a bit of quiet time after a video,
Celcius. Everyone use Celcius. Except weirdos :-D
Do you have or could I help you to create a storage temperatures graphic so we can easily refer to it for storage temperatures?
is it true that farmers use beets as a way of cleaning the soil of chemicals for the next growing season. how do we know if the beets we purchase are free of this process
John what water systems do you recommend for your home?
Dude, thank you so much for this video, you put it out at the right time for me. You are a legit human being
Have you ever used those little blue apples/balls that they sell that are supposed to elongate produce life?
Balls? Elongation??
Are we talking about the same thing here? ;-)
Reverend Eslam hha, I didn't even catch that. I found the name, they're called Bluapple Freshness Balls.
#garden-envy

You're the only one who thinks John "lacks the youthful glow" of "most raw vegans". And that's not even true anyway.
Another tip: avoid foods which have even a slight hint of mold anywhere (even the stems).
