Advantages of raw food

Taste the power of nature with every bite

The fresher a food is, the more you benefit from it. Denkou only have to think of a crisp, red apple. It tastes best fresh from the tree. It is firm, has a bright colour and a full-bodied flavour.

Every day that your fruit spends in the fruit bowl, it not only loses its flavour and appearance - vitamins and other important nutrients can also be lost. Enjoy fruit and vegetables fresh - it tastes best that way anyway!

Huge choice instead of boredom

The raw food diet offers you a cornucopia of different flavours and tastes. Savour fruits, vegetables, berries, nuts, seeds, sprouts, mushrooms, algae and the wonderful world of wild herbs.

You can combine flavours to your heart's content, experiment with spices and ferment cultures and surprise your palate with ever new variations. Who needs artificial flavour enhancers when you can enjoy the full flavour of ripe fruit, vegetables and herbs?

The long journey of the exotic

Travelling... is often very exhausting and you are really exhausted when you arrive at your destination. What's more, if you're not travelling on foot or by bike, you're adding a lot of CO2 penalty points to your account.

It's the same with exotic fruits. They are often harvested before they are fully ripe. They travel many kilometres to us in the belly of a ship or on board an aircraft. By the time they reach the shop, they have already lost some of their vitality, in addition to their poor CO2 balance.

First choice: regional!

Food from the region offers you many advantages. They are harvested when ripe, the distances are short and there is always a fresh supply. Buying local means supporting local agriculture and you may even know the farmer personally.

What could be better than buying produce directly from the producer, at the market or in your favourite organic food shop? Only growing it yourself is better!

Organic cultivation - careful treatment of the environment

In organic farming, the careful treatment of nature takes centre stage. Mineral fertilisers and chemical pesticides are not used. Instead, organic farmers use organic fertilisers and alternating crop rotation to maintain and promote soil fertility.

The controls are strict. At least once a year, organic farmers must prove that they are complying with organic farming standards. This ensures that only the best food ends up in your shopping bag.

Prepare organic raw food and you won't have to worry about spending hours preparing it. Leave the skin on the fruit and vegetables and simply bite into them with relish. This is the pure flavour of nature!

Raw vegan food protects animals

A raw food diet is about much more than just eating. For many, raw food is part of their basic ethical attitude, which strives to treat themselves, nature and the creatures that live in it with care and respect.

Raw vegan food does not only avoid heating and processing. Animal products also have no place here. This means that no animal has to suffer or die for a raw plant-based diet. This principle fits in very well with many people's attitude to life.

Back to the roots - back to the roots

Heavily processed food, frozen food, fried food, gratinated food and food that becomes a quick meal with a hot water infusion: We are surrounded by foods that do not correspond to our natural diet. Much of it also has hardly any nutritional or physiological value. A return to traditional foods is a logical consequence for many.

Raw food contains exactly what it says on the tin: simply nature, without artificial colourings, flavour enhancers and preservatives. The way we deal with food is changing. Our appreciation of what nature offers us is growing.

When you go out into the countryside, you see everything with different eyes. Instead of weeds, you will see the ingredients for a delicious wild herb salad. You will discover plants that you have carelessly passed by until now. Every living creature has its place in nature - including you.

Sustainable living

Sustainability means taking only enough from the environment to allow it to regenerate. When a field is harvested, the farmer does not use the entire crop. He keeps back some seeds to sow the next year and replant his field.

Raw food fits in perfectly with a sustainable lifestyle. You take what it has to offer and only as much of it as you actually need.
