Is raw food better for you?


According to this website, cooked food contains fewer nutrients. Rather than cooking vegetables, throw them raw into a blender with some spring water. This “whole juice” will contain the valuable plant fiber as well as the natural enzymes needed for digestion. I’ve tried this myself, combining various vegetables and juicing them in my Vitamix, a heavy-duty blender. It sure takes all the work out of eating raw vegetables. As well, it’s cheaper and more nutritious than anything you would buy in a can or jar. For variety, experiment with different combinations of veggies and seasonings.

The site features recipes for raw, vegan and vegetarian dishes.
