Description

Whether you’re just discovering raw foods or already well-versed in kimchee and wheatgrass, this revised
edition of The Raw Truth combines a wealth of raw foods know-how with a diverse array of delicious recipes.
This essential reference offers an extensive primer on the benefits of raw foods, the four living food groups
(fresh, sprouted, cultured, and dehydrated), specialty ingredients, and helpful kitchen tools.
Raw foods pioneer Jeremy A. Safron explains in simple terms how life promotes life with a raw diet. When
vital enzymes essential to digestion have not been destroyed by heat or processing, the uncooked foods
provide our bodies with energy and nutrition quickly and efficiently. This leads to enhanced vitality, increased
detoxification, and improved well-being.
But these foods don’t merely offer health giving properties—they also form the basis of recipes that are easy
to make and packed with flavor. Safron shares his take on simple smoothies and drinks like Thin Mint and
Mellow Melon, quick soups like Tom Yum and Cucumber-Dill, hearty entrées like Falafel, Lasagna, and Thai
Curry, and rich desserts like Coconut Custard and Carob-Hazelnut Torte. Many of these recipes are customer
favorites from Safron’s Raw Experience restaurants, which were renowned for their creative menus and
valued as education centers for the global raw movement. With nearly 200 recipes and information on
transitioning to a raw foods diet, The Raw Truth is a comprehensive guide to a vibrant, healthy, and
sustainable lifestyle.
