 For mangoes the water becomes a deliciously sweet nectar, and for dates it becomes a savory and sweet caramel-like drink, especially if using barhi dates.
 
+## Simplicity & Food Combining
+
+There's something to be said about enjoying the food you eat. If you don't like the flavor of rice, then rice may not be for you. Many people don't even know that rice has a flavor because they're so used to it being cooked with salt, oil, and then having sauces dumped on top.
+
+I subscribe to similar ideas as Natural Hygiene which says monomeals (meals consisting of only a single food ingredient) are the healthiest way to eat and the best chance at a highly efficient digestion. I rarely combine fruits, and allow 20-45 minutes in between each fruit type if eating multiple around a mealtime.
+
+The same goes for cooked food. Sometimes I may combine rice with lentils, however most the time I find myself having rice and a veggie for lunch, then lentils or tofu and a veggie or two for dinner. Vegetables low in acid, calories, and starch (such as celery, kale, or zucchini) are typically safe to combine with higher calorie staples.
+
+The same goes for seasonings. If cooking a celery stew (Khoresh Karafs), my only ingredients will be lentils and fresh celery, with the only seasonings being peppermint and parsley, fresh if I have it otherwise dried. Craving pizza? I'll add oregano and thyme to a meal. Experimenting like cooking a pot of rice with rosemary and lavender can be pretty great too!!
+
+### Boredom?
+
+I've been told that eating this way sounds boring. If having excellent digestion, very little to no bloating, and being able to taste your food without adding toxic (yes, toxic) substances such as salt, oil, and sugar, sounds boring, then continue on with your standard ways.
+
+For me this is one of the most liberating changes that I took on after being fruitarian for months and then needing to go back to cooked foods for the convenience. Once your taste buds have adjusted (takes about 3 weeks), food begins to taste incredible. Any cravings for sauces or extra seasonings are usually associated with stress and seeking childhood comforts.
