It’s hard to believe we’re nearly half way through October, and naturally that means I’ve been living totally unprocessed! This year, I’ve even gone grain free and sugar free. This is the second year I’ve done the logo for the ambitious project the Andrew of Eating Rules undertakes each October.
If you haven’t taken the pledge, it’s not too late to try things like ditching white flour, white sugar, preservatives, food coloring, and soy lecithin in your chocolate. Last year, Irvin of Eat the Love, and I discovered that many raspberry-flavored foods use beaver anal glands to enhance raspberry flavor. The worst part, since beaver butts are natural, this can be labeled as a natural flavor. Enjoy that raspberry sorbet, ladies and gents.
In addition to sharing my design skills, this is also my second time contributing as an author. Today, my post for vegan cashew cream cheese is live on Eating Rules. Check it out. I’ve declared my love for soaked raw cashews before on this blog in my vegan cashew strawberry shake, but my cashew cream cheese is totally famous around my office. Check it out on Andrew’s site. And come back next week for an unprocessed grain free round up!

Wow….thank you for the information . Ewww is really my thought when it comes to the fake raspberry flavour. …that's so gross.
Ok. I read this when I was at an art museum in Denver, desparately thinking back over the past year to consider if I've eaten ANYTHING with raspberries that I have not made myself with only whole ingredients. I'm a pretty clean eater (you'd never know it from the Halloween-a-thon going on on my blog right now) which helps with the ease of being gluten free and quickly knowing what I've eaten (fortunately). I think I AM going to start a new food genre however of being 'Beaver Anus Free'; BAF. Holy mole. A great reminder that no matter how well we feel we are eating, there is always room for improvement.
And how would one come to learn that adding Beaver anus to raspberries makes them taste better? I really don't want to know that.
Could you tell me how you discovered this info re:bever butt glands? My daughter was trying to warn her class and her teacher cut her off because she didn't know her source. Help!
Hi Kelly,
Here\’s a good resource on Castereum (real name of beaver butt) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castoreum
GROSS, right?
Yes. Thanks so much for sharing this gross info! I'll pass on to my daughter and anyone else who will listen:)
Hey Sabrina,
It was awesome meeting you on Friday evening during drinks. LOVE the cashew cream! Never added nooch, that sounds pretty darn cool.
Nooch is a natch- because I just love it on ANYTHING. So nice to meet you too. You + your blog=fantastic. Enjoy those Fleuvogs.
I had no idea they used beaver anals, that's disgusting!
So gross, right?
