MEAL SUGGESTIONS FOR RAW FOOD |
What about eating raw food? Today’s advice is to try to eat 50—75% of your food raw. Does this mean that all you can have is a raw carrot.
Often eating raw foods is considered as something only fanatics do. But this is food in its most natural state, it is still alive and therefore full of the natural goodness and minerals, just as the capillaries of the plant took them up from the soil. Even when we steam something, it has wilted beyond the point of revival. |
What kind of things make up raw meals as well the more obvious fruits and vegetables?
- Porridge oats, wheat bran, nuts, seeds, herbs, juices, cold pressed oils, sprouted seeds, sprouted grains (see other links to find detailed instructions on sprouting)
Here are some combinations of those raw foods that will make interesting meal suggestions. |
