Our next SmartMonkey Foods Event is on May 18th
Sunday 6pm - 9pm

Raw foods. Everyone always asks me, "Does raw food include sushi?". I usually laugh and reply with a no. The next question to follow is, "Well, what is raw food?".

All vegan. All organic. All raw.

No animal or dairy products in anything.

Ingredients grown from the earth are natural and aren't harmful to the body, actually they are the most pure food source on the planet. Animal products carry parasites and bacteria, not to mention they are injected with hormones, antibiotics, and steroids. Organically raised animals are out as well, they are just as difficult for the human body to digest.

The other aspect to raw cuisine is also "living" food. Living foods are fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, roots and seeds; virtually everything edible that grows from the earth and has not been cooked.

Ideally, raw cuisine is made from all organic ingredients. Organic farming produces the purest, most nutritious food because they are not grown using any types of pesticides or toxins.

Why raw foods?

Raw food guarantees optimum health, endless supply of energy, and best yet is it helps the planet because instead of discarding packaging, which creates trash, seeds are discarded which give life. Furthermore, raw food is all about taste and satisfaction, the ultimate in pure flavor.

Raw food resources.

Why enzymes are important.
