Hello from Ecuador

I’ve been raw for a few months, but am finding it tricky to find some regular ingredients down here in the middle of the world. I’m from the States, so some old fav’s like Bragg’s and sun dried tomatoes just don’t exist.

However, the huge array of fresh fruits and vegetables year round tend to make up for some of that. Some of the most exotic fruits in the world, like chirimoya and achochilio are so cheap and yummy! I think it’s worth the sacrifice!

And a food dehydrator? Forget it! So far, I’ve been a year and a half without an oven or a refrigerator!!!

So, I’m here in the hopes of finding more fridge-free, dehydrator-free and fancy ingredient-free recipes!

    just wanted to say my Dad’s in Ecuador right now.. he went for 6 weeks. It’s always been his dream to live in South America and now, at age 57 he finally decided to try it out. I wish he was a raw foodie to take advantage of all that nice produce. I made him promise he would eat lots of fruit for me though!

  • Wow, sounds like you have access to amazing foods. Shame about the fridge tho! I’d love to learn more about the different foods you have in Ecuador!

    can i ask what part of ecuador you are in? i spent some time in Quito. I have been DYING to go back! I know what you mean about the fresh, cheap, quality and widely abundant produce. even tho i’m raw i think i wouldn’t be able to resist some fried plantains! but i think the thing i might miss even more than the fresh food is jumping off waterfalls in the cloud forest…or maybe it would be the warm friendly people….hard to say, but making myself really nostalgic here lol

    kminty3, your dad and i have the same dream! how is he fairing?

    im so envious :D
