Raw foods are exceptionally healthy. When you cook many foods, especially vegetables, you destroy a lot of the vitamins and other nutrients. This often means that those healthy vegetables won’t do you as much good as perhaps they should have.
Raw foods, because they aren’t exposed to lots of damaging heat, are often better for you and can also taste amazing. It’s always surprising how different foods taste when you eat them raw for the first time. And the texture? So crunchy! I also think that raw foods are much more filling and, of course, you save a ton of time by not having to do any cooking!
This recipe – rainbow veggie salad – is so vibrant and colorful you can almost feel it makes you healthier! It’s really easy to make and I know you’ll love the taste.
