Hear me RAW!
One of the most exciting current fresh food trends is the push towards organic, raw food. When we say ‘raw food’, we mean organic food that is unprocessed or uncooked, so it retains much more nutritional value and natural enzymes that are typically destroyed during the cooking process. Feeling tired? A raw food diet will give you the energy you need, keep your mind clear, and encourage general well being.
The best part about all of this is that there are plenty of delicious raw food recipes, some of which may surprise you! We really like this easy recipe for spicy kale chips by the Raw Food Kitchen!
Ingredients:
1 bunch Kale
2 Tablespoons Red Thai Curry Paste (make sure its free from additives and preservatives)
1/2 cup of Tahini
4 tablespoons of Tamari
Juice of whole lemon
Water to thin the mix
1/2 teaspoon Himalayan Sea Salt
3 squirts Stevia
1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
Method:
Combine all the ingredients except the Kale into a bowl and stir to combine. If mixture is too thick, add water to thin. De-stem the kale and shred or tear the leaves off into large bite sized pieces, and place into bowl with sauce ingredients.
Massage the ingredients into the kale until coated nicely. Spread kale out onto baking paper lined dehydrator sheets and dehydrate for 6 – 8 hours at 105°F.
