One of the most appealing elements of the raw food diet is the abundance of critical vitamins and minerals which are often otherwise lacking from much of the American diet. Critics of the raw foods diet claim that one of the primary downfalls of this food choice is the harsh unbroken cell walls associated with uncooked/processed foods.
One of the best ways to bridge the gap between these two viewpoints is to use a high powered blender like the vitamix to pulverize the raw food into a substantially more absorbable mixture. You can combine all sorts of tasty raw foods and spices into a sauce or gravy that can be poured into the top of cooked food or whole grains!
This combination allows the maximum nutrient abortion and the widest variety of taste with ease of preparation and consumption. Below is a common combination of foods that provide a balanced and delicious sauce that can be used on noodles, grains, or cooked/raw vegetables.
- zucchini
- dried and fresh tomatoes.
- Apple cider vinegar
- Garlic/Cayenne
- Sea salt
- Squash
- Bell pepper
- Water
- Avocado
- Oils
