Whole food plant items should be clearly understood by anyone wanting to regain or assure health.
Packaged foods ( ie: veggie burgers) are not ideal because they are created in a factory perhaps across the country or world, they almost always:
- contain additives
- contain preservatives
- packaged in plastic or foil
- may not be 100% organic or free of GMO ingredients
When purchasing local organic ingredients and preparing your meals at home you will know what you are consuming
You will soon discover the ratio of raw foods to cooked foods that work for you.
Items that are cooked will include:
- rice
- beans
- sweet potatoes
- oatmeal
- grains
Items that do not require cooking will include:
- blueberries
- strawberries
- apples
- any other fruits you enjoy
I do not recommend juicing for most people, I like the fiber so a Vitamix is used when needed.
One other category to mention:
- fermented veggies – try various varieties
- sourkrout
- kimchee
