If you check out the raw food groups on yahoo, you will find some great ones with all sorts of gourmet raw. I did those for awhile, but I find that you just can't beat plain ol raw veggies and sprouts. Have you looked into home sprouting? I harvest three trays a day of alfalfa, mung, fennungreek, radish, clover, brocolli, sunflower, chickpea, green pea, yellow pea, chia (think chia pet) and lentil sprouts. They grow in two to three days, and are loaded with enzymes and flavor. I take a variety of them, and wrap them in a lettuce leaf (like a spring roll) and dip them in raw dressing (green onion or peas with olive oil, salt, pepper, agave nector and raw vinegar) I also make raw bars by combining nuts, seeds, dates, agave, and coconut in a blender or food processor, and roll them up in wax paper like slice and bake cookies-then I slice them and dehydrate in my food dehydrator-yummy and great for a snack I eat about 80 percent raw, the rest just lightly steamed veggies. I recently discovered kolrabi-it is sort of like a turnip, but not too strong. Absolutely wonderful raw-doesnt even need seasoning!Looking for some delicious healthy raw food recipes?
