Why do we use Raw Foods in our Superfood Snacks?

Raw foods are natural, uncontaminated whole foods that have not been altered by heat.  They contain specific enzymes that are intrinsic to the particular food they are in.   Many raw food experts agree that the general capacity to keep foods in their raw and natural state is below or at 118 degrees.

Enzymes are literally energized protein molecules that are contained within all living cells.    They help assist us digesting our foods by breaking down the proteins, fats, carbohydrates and fiber in the foods that we eat.  

They allow us to abstract the beneficial nutrients within from foods we eat, while also removing toxins.  Enzymes are key to un-locking and maintaining energy after you eat and may also help to boost the body's immune system.

When food is heated and "cooked,"  the heating process greatly diminishes the value of the once live enzymes.  Raw foods contain original life force energy.  If you try to plant a roasted almond you can never get an almond tree but if you plant a raw almond it has the ability and potential to sprout into an almond producing tree.

This is ultimately not a universal principal, however, put into practice you will find it to be true.   There are, conversely, some foods that exhibit higher levels of nutrients when cooked.  For example, Reishi or Cordyceps Mushrooms need to be heated to crack the cell wall so the nutrients can be released.

Raw foods also contain oils in their natural state which are not chemically altered by heating.  These oils may help to lubricate the digestive tract and further assist in elimination of toxins.

Raw foods have been getting a lot of press in the tabloids, too!  Many Hollywood Stars choose to eat more raw, organic foods because of the way it helps to enhance their physical "glow."  Some also swear by a "raw food diet" assisting in weight loss by costuming a diet of only raw foods and fresh juices.

In general, Raw Foods can also help assist you in weight loss and give you more energy that cooked foods.

Think about how good you feel after a fresh raw vegetable juice, or a nutrient-packed Superfood Snack!  There is a reason why!

Nature knows best.

I remember when I first started introducing Raw foods into my diet.  As I increased my ratio of raw to cooked foods, my portion sizes started to change.  I would make a huge plate and ended up eating only half.  

I was ecstatic but wondered why this was.  I realized that, in regards to raw foods in their natural, unaltered state, less is more!   Since Raw Foods have not been altered from their natural state they, are charged with pure energy, vital nutrients, enzymes, vitamins and minerals.

Once our body extracts what nutrients it needs, we feel full.  This is a great thing because when we eat raw foods we tend not to eat less, saving a lot of strain on our digestive system.

Raw food may be able to help you focus better, too.

One thing we here all the time from our customers at demos and at conferences is: "Why do I feel so good when I eat Superfood Snacks?"

There are a few factors involved here, but one major one is that we use Raw Organic Superfoods in our recipes.  Superfoods are foods that may be small in size, volume or weight but are super packed with a highly concentrated amount of nutrients.

We at Superfood Snacks deliver you a raw, organic superfood product that is balanced and designed to give you optimal energy.  We believe in eating for fuel, beauty, health and longevity for the planet as well as all those who live on it.
