Dehydrating is a great way to add a new way of consuming foods without damaging valuable nutrients which may be lost during high heat cooking! Dried foods are a great treat to snack on because they hold almost all of their nutritional value and flavor. Related Article Tags: , , , ,

Now what they stumbled across was a way to preserve food while locking in the nourishing nutrient content, unlike cooking which is too harsh and hot, destroying enzymes, protein and other goodness.

Make each vegetable plant its own design with surrounding works of art. I put a little garden here of one type of veggies and then another one on the south side of the yard. The sky is the limit what you can do.

The foods that you can include in your raw food diet must fulfill an essential condition in order to be considered raw foods and that is to not be cooked at a temperature over 920 F (330 C) or 1180 F (480 C), depending on the form of the diet that you are under. The diet may include all types of raw fruits and vegetables, but also raw seeds and nuts.
