guest feature on we like it raw

June 8, 2009

Buenos dias, amigos! A few weeks ago on my snacking smart post I mentioned I would be telling you about my recent family reunion in Madrid and how I managed my green appetite while I was there.

Well, here it is…and on none other than We Like it Raw!

A huge thanks to Dhrumil for being so cool with the idea and showcasing it beautifully with the photos I took. In it, you can read about how I stuck to a high-raw diet amidst la familia plus tips on how to navigate Madrid menus while enjoying Spanish cuisine that’s good for you and the planet.

But wait, there’s more! I wanted to welcome my fellow We Like it Raw readers with a seasonal recipe they and you can make in a jiffy. Bienvenidos and enjoy!

new recipe: speedy gazpacho

Hi, Nina! Thanks very much for commenting. Whole grains and beans are absolutely beneficial, but since there are already lots of sites out there that tell you how to cook them, I decided to include recipes here using sprouted grains and beans. Sprouting actually multiplies the nutrients in these foods exponentially and makes them easier for our bodies to digest; it also requires almost no work or clean-up. I love grains and beans, and I eat them practically every day — sometimes cooked, often raw. I hope that clears up any confusion!

I believe you should label your website as “raw-centric” so as not to confuse those of us who are looking for healthy food ideas and recipes. While I agree that raw food is good for you and everyone can benefit from eating more fruits and vegetables, I also strongly feel that whole grains and beans are important to a healthy diet. After all, it’s cooking that made us human!
