1. Leafy greens, loaded with minerals including potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron as well as dozens of trace elements, are a robust source of living nutrients.
2. Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit are superb sources of raw vitamin C and bioflavoinds.
3. Sunflower, sesame, and pumpkin seeds are tiny nutrient powerhouses that contain B vitamins, vitamin E, and key minerals, including phosphorus.
4. Avocados are a great source of potassium and vitamin E.
5. Coconut kefir contains probiotics, enzymes and a large amount of potassium per serving.
6. Carrots are a great source of carotenoids, including beta-carotene; they’re also a surprisingly good source of calcium.
7. Raw yogurt, kefir and really raw cheese from grass-fed animals contain an abundance of calcium and significant amounts of B vitamins. When cows, goats, and sheep eat exclusively forage (grass, leaves, shrubs, etc.), they provide high levels of beta carotene and vitamins A, D, E, and K. Raw dairy products from grass-fed animals are also an excellent source of CLA (conjugated linolenic acid) and even contain trace amounts of omega-3 fats. Raw cheese is loaded with calcium and is an excellent source of dietary protein.
8. Celery is a first-rate source of electrolytes such as potassium and sodium, which is important for proper cardiovascular function.
9. Cultured veggies contain vitamin C, probiotics, enzymes and vitamin U, which is an active form of sulfur.
10. Watermelon and cantaloupe are two fruits rich in beta carotene and potassium, and lycopene (watermelon only).
There you have it. All great foods, and all great raw. Go Focus On Foods First.
