Raw Food Questions and Answers
What are the benefits of eating raw food?
First, when you cook food you kill the natural enzymes in the food that help you digest it. This is why most people feel tired when you finish a cooked meal. Your body needs to to expend a lot of energy to manufacture the enzymes to digest the food. With raw food, the natural enzymes in the food help you properly digest it and most people feel energized after eating a raw food meal.
Second, when you cook foods you kill many of the heat sensitive nutrients, such as B vitamins and vitamin A. So, raw food provides more usable nutrients to the body than cooked food they're more digestible because of the natural enzymes not destroyed by cooking.
Third, cooked food and processed foods tend to be acidic, soft drinks being the worst offenders. Raw foods have much more alkaline than cooked. Many alternative health professionals declare acidic foods make your body haven for many diseases.
Doesn't raw food taste boring? Isn't it just salads?
Raw food is a quickly emerging new type of cuisine that can rival French or Italian cuisines, if done with flare and imagination. One self proclaimed meat-eating, world traveled "foodie" proclaimed his SunCafe meal as the best meal of his lifetime. One woman screamed at the top of her lungs after her first bite and said she was amazed and surprised at the flavor.
Raw food, properly prepared, offers more flavor potential than cooked as the process of cooking can reduce the taste of many foods. Many customers comment on the "burst" of flavors from the food at SunCafe.
The most popular dishes include: raw nachos with sunflower "chorizo," lettuce tacos, our special sunflower, brazil nut burger, pesto kelp noodles, raw supreme pizza, kale shake, and cookie dough pie.
Are their health benefits to eating raw foods?
Besides the benefit of the full nutrients and the unharmed enzymes, raw food appears to offer many healing and health benefits. While we are not health professionals at SunCafe, many, many customers have reported to us that raw food and raw, green juices have healed them of various illnesses including 4th stage cancer, diabetes, arthritis, stomach issues and many others. Hippocrates Institute, one of the early advocates, in the 1950s, of alternative health methods, reports great success using organic vegetable juicing and a raw diet.
Why do you serve both vegan and raw cuisine?
SunCafe is designed to appeal all taste buds. We want everyone to everyone to leave SunCafe feeling satisfied and "wowed" by his or her culinary experience. Our ultimate goal is to bring people healthier food choices, regardless of where they are on that spectrum, and to provide them one of the tastiest meals of their life.
What is the best "healing" food you can eat?
In our opinion, raw, organic, green juices offer the greatest healing power of any food. Kale, broccoli, mustard greens, endive, chard whole or as a juice are all super foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and protein. Other great foods to add to a green juice or smoothie are celery, spirulina (algae), cilantro, cabbage, cucumbers, various sprouts and more. Citrus fruits also deliver healing benefits but should usually be taken on their own.
Can I lose weight on a raw diet, even if I eat lots of nuts?
Many customers were thrilled to lose weight at SunCafe eating as much as they wanted. Raw food with lots of nuts and seeds can be high in calories, but unlike processed food, food prepared in the raw retains the fiber and full nutritional value of the food. Unlike eating a box of cookies with zero fiber and no nutritional value, people report the fiber and nutrients in high fat/calorie raw foods fill you faster so you don't eat as much.
