The short answer:
Keeping food raw, or living, preserves its naturally occurring enzymes. By avoiding high-heat cooking, which alters molecular structure and can deplete delicate nutrients, we ensure our products remain as close to nature as possible.
In general, the act of heating food can alter its naturally occurring enzymes. While some foods benefit from light cooking to make certain nutrients more bio-available, keeping foods raw and living helps preserve their native nutrient values and active plant enzymes.
Many holistic food proponents believe that raw food enzymes work in harmony with the body's self-generated enzymes to support smooth, natural digestion. Enzymes give our body chemistry its vitality and boost our metabolisms.
As natural catalysts that enable food breakdown, enzymes play a critically important role within our digestive system. For example, enzymes in our saliva allow us to naturally break down starches. Enzymes in our stomach help us break down proteins, while enzymes in our intestines help us efficiently process fats, proteins, and carbohydrates of all kinds.
By consuming raw, enzyme-rich foods, you are providing exogenous enzymes that actively assist in the digestion of that food the moment it is chewed. This eases the digestive load on your system, helping you maintain vibrant energy levels, a balanced metabolism, and overall wellness.
