There have been proponents of the raw food diet since the 11th century, when famous theologian Aibert first promoted raw food as a part of his path to God. In more recent times, scientists have shown that enzymes in uncooked foods are released in the mouth when chewed, likely aiding in digestion. Raw fruits are high in antioxidants and have more complete nutrition than cooked fruits. Raw foods also often have a beneficial contribution to your gut flora, contributing to your ability to extract nutrition from everything you eat and your general health.

If you’re curious to try Mojamix raw, we suggest starting with a base of Purity Buckwheat Granola. All organic and all raw, it’s a mix of sprouted buckwheat, sprouted sunflower seeds, sprouted pumpkin seeds, and ground flax seed is gently kissed with agave nectar, a low-glycemic sweetener. This blend is dehydrated at low temperatures instead of baked. Try it with cherries, figs, and peaches for a scrumptious rainbow of nutrition in your bowl.
