Vegan Q&A

Before I answer that question, let me share why we need to eat more raw foods.

Because raw foods have enzymes, which help our food to digest, they are important in the digestion process. The enzymes in raw foods break down particles so they can be utilized for energy.

Enzymes are proteins and they have a unique 3-dimensional structure. Once they are heated above 118 degrees, the unique structure begins to breakdown. Once they have been exposed to heat the enzymes no longer contribute to the process of digestion for which they were made.

Cooking Vegan is not as hard as it seems. The trick is to know how to prepare, season, and execute cooking. Through research and application even you can make a great vegan meal.

Understand that cooking vegan is really no different than any other meal you cook. You just have to learn to apply what you already know and if you don’t know then visit places like Vegan Family Living to find out more about cooking vegan.
