NATURAL
FOOD
PROCESSING
This is also called uncooked food
processing. In this method, fire is not used for the cooking process. The sun
prepares food for us through nature. Natural foods contain a lot of nutrients. They
are very healthy and do not have any toxic items.
Uncooked food can be classified into 3
types
1. Foods that are obtained from nature
2. Drying the food
3. Sprouted food items
1. FOODS THAT ARE OBTAINED FROM NATURE
We
can eat fruits and vegetables without cooking or in their raw form. For this
type of food, nature will prepare it with proper sunlight, air, and the outer
temperature. There is no better choice than natural foods like fresh fruits and
vegetables.
These
are ready-to-eat and easy to digest. From children to old age, people can eat
fruits without limits. There are no side effects. If you take raw natural food
once per day, then you live healthily. You do not go to the doctor and take
medicine. Nature will protect you if you eat natural foods.
2. DRYING THE FOOD
We can eat some fruits, dry in the sunlight with sufficient
air. For example, Grapes. Grapes are dried in the sunlight, and they become
more nutrient-rich. The drying process is the best way to preserve food. It can
keep for a long period without spoilage.
Green vegetables are dried; then, we
can fry them in oil and eat them. This is not good for your health. People are
mostly eating these fried items for taste only, not for health. So, we can
avoid these fried items.
Some of them are
Almond - Apricot - Betel nuts - Brazil nuts
Cashew nut - Chestnut - Chia seeds - Dates
Dry Cherries - Dry Mango - Dry Orange - Dry plums
Fig - Flax seeds - Hazelnuts - Peanuts
Pistachios - Pumpkin seeds - Raisins - Sesame seeds - Soy seeds
3. SPROUTED FOOD ITEMS
All types of seeds can be sprouted. All
seeds have unique benefits for our health. Sprouting is an ancient technique of
changing normal seeds, grains and legumes into healthy ones. If you add sprouted
food to your daily diet you will be rich in health and look glowing.
