Don´t get us wrong!

Eating the Rawfood diet is one of the best and most transforming things you can do to change your life for good, but still; especially when you start of with this beautiful diet, or you have children to take care of, there are some important things you have to know, to avoid the mistakes some people do on a Raw food diet.

When you want to be successful and get all the beautiful benefits of this diet everybody talks about, you will have to make sure that all the food that you eat is raw for real!

And some of the "Raw food" you buy in the supermarket is not raw at all!!

This is because the producers of the food are able to label their products as raw even if there is not a 100% Raw ingredients in it!
The laws here in England makes that possible! I am not sure how things are in the US, but here it is enough to have a certain percentage of the product in raw quality, to put the label "RAW" on it. This may not be a problem for many costumers, but for people who want to be certain, this could be a disaster.

Another point is, about dried products, like dried fruits, nori sheets, some fruit bars..
In order to have a real raw product, things should not be heaten over 42 degrees, becaus enzymes get destroyed then!

Many of the dried fruits, fruit bars soya suces, sweeteners like agave syrup are heated OVER this magical border!

To make real sure what you eat, you have to contact the producers of the products. We have done that many times, and they give you the information you want.
The other possibility is to get your food at a source you really trust. One we could recomend here is
www.rawliving.co.uk here in England, and www.therawfoodworld.com in the USA.
They offer real raw products with high quality standards!
