MORE RAW

While it is important to chew some food(!), blending food makes the nutrients more available to the body as well as creating interesting textures.

The recipes are, for the most part, very simple and straightforward, quick to prepare and with easily available ingredients — fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, cold-pressed oils, raw dairy produce and fermented foods.

A few harmless heat-treated ingredients in particular, pumpkin seeds and spices find their way in. These are ingredients we have found do not noticeably bring our energy down.

The recipes contain a good balance of alkali and acid forming foods, promote stable blood sugar and automatically avoid problematic ingredients such as wheat, sugar, junk foods,

processed oils, refined carbohydrates, pasteurised dairy products and additives.

The fresher the ingredients the better. Raw foods are an ecological choice in terms of packaging and processing. The original energy of the food in its natural form is conserved for minimum wastage of the Earth’s energy.
