Sunny Savage is in Topanga, California harvesting California black walnuts. Learn how to identify the tree, remove the husk, crack the tough nut, and make them into living raw taco meat.

Youve heard of raw food right? The rule of raw is that foods are eaten uncooked, with no heating above 115°-120°, therefore their enzymes are still living and the vital energy of your food remains intact. It is certainly true that our ancestors ate many foods in their raw form, and eating a living foods diet has been coined a return to raw. Wild foods can provide the raw foodist with a diversity of choices found in their own backyard.

The wild California black walnuts (Juglans californica) are prolific in the Santa Monica Mountains. These delicious nuts are much stronger in flavor than the cultivated English walnuts that you find in the store. Walnuts in general have some major health-promoting qualities:

1. Walnuts contain a perfect 4 to 1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, and the highest ALA content of any tree nut. This equates to major coronary health benefits, with reduction of cholesterol, no weight gain associated with increased fat consumption of eating walnuts, etc.

2. A comparison study of total antioxidant content of nuts, seeds and dried fruits, found walnuts second only to dog rose in antioxidant contentof all plants analyzed.

Raw nuts have become a staple part of the raw food diet. Consuming copious amounts of raw nuts can lead to intestinal discomfort and a general imbalance in the diet. So dont get too nutty! The video above highlights the identification and harvesting of California black walnut (Juglans californica). We are joined in the kitchen by Living Foods Chef Chris J Watts. Be sure to check out Chriss website to learn more about raw foods, as well as view some of his raw food videos.

Soak walnuts 3-5 hours, or longer. Drain walnuts and process in food processor with spices until mixture is in small chunks. Put into mixing bowl and add diced onion and bell peppers. Serve on a red cabbage or collard green leaf as taco shell. Load up with taco meat, raw salsa, guacamole, and condiments such as fresh corn kernels and shredded red cabbage.

Bendu Apparao is an unapologetic comedy, whose priority is to tickle you rather than make you marvel at the biology of the funny bone. There’s a little physical humour in the beginning but things get less embarrassing soon after. The movie also has space for a few social statements, including one on the state of school education in villages.
