Tao Garden to Offer Raw Cuisine
Tao Garden will start providing a wide variety of raw cuisine diets to its guests from July 2010. The raw cuisine will be specially prepared by Tao Garden’s professional chef. Guests will have to place orders that suit their health needs. The diet will compose of non-processed and uncooked plant foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, seeds, grains, beans, sprouts, nuts and seeds, sea weeds, roots, fresh herbs, raw spices, root vegetables and squashes. Some of these raw cuisines are already being offered at Tao Garden. They are mango coconut flan; Tao mixed salad, Kwan Yin soup, chocolate, fruit pie, organic Japanese cucumber pasta and marina paste.
Raw Cuisine’s Health Benefits
Raw cuisine diet has many benefits. Apart from boosting the digestion of other food, it can prolong a person’s life span. The raw cuisine diet to be provided at Tao Garden will also help boost the clients’ body immune system, strengthen their body muscles, and offer them mental clarity. Raw cuisine diets can also help cut weight, provide a clear, smooth skin, provide more energy and boost the body’s overall health.
Raw Cuisine Is Chemical Free
The raw cuisines provided will ensure that many chronic diseases like cancer and heart diseases are kept at bay. All the raw cuisine will be free from any chemicals and will remain 100 per cent natural. Much of the food will be grown in Tao Garden’s chemical free garden soils.
Do Not Overheat When You Have To Cook
For your information, some raw cuisine diets will not entirely remain uncooked. Some diets will be lightly cooked at temperatures not exceeding 46 degrees (115 degree Fahrenheit). Raw food above this temperature loses significant nutritional components and this can be harmful to the body. However, Tao Garden will provide the proportionate raw cuisine diets consistent with their clients’ specifications. Raw cuisines diets are also of better quality and small quantities eaten satiate an individual’s nutritional requirements. They provide 100 per cent nutritional requirements like vitamins, fats and proteins.
Preparing Raw Cuisine
The preparation of raw cuisine diets requires equipment like a food processor, a blender, a food dehydrator, due to their demanding preparation needs. The good news, however, is that preparing some raw cuisines like vegetables takes less time. Similarly, you do not need to add flavours like sugar, salt, spices in some raw cuisine diets in case you wish to avoid an irritating digestive system.

Ten Advantages To Eating Raw
Jun 9th
Tao Mixed Salad
” The human race learned long ago that cooking meat before eating it would protect them from certain diseases.
Since then this practice of cooking has grown to include all types of foods and is now considered an art.
Very few meals are eaten which include raw elements,except for the leafy green salad. One advantage of eating raw is that it brings Nature’s intentions into focus.”
1.) Raw foods are better quality; therefore, you eat less to satisfy your nutritional needs. The heat of cooking depletes vitamins, damages proteins and fats, and destroys enzymes that benefit digestion. As your percentage of raw foods increases, you feel satisfied and have more energy on smaller meals because raw food has the best balance of water, nutrients, and fiber to meet your body’s needs.
2.) Raw foods have more flavor than cooked foods, so there is no need to add salt, sugar, spices, or other condiments that can irritate your digestive system or over stimulate other organs.
3.) Raw foods take very little preparation, so you spend less time in the kitchen. Even a child of 5 or 6 can prepare most items for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This gives children a sense of self-esteem and independence, not to mention the breakit gives Mom or Dad.

4.) When you are eating raw, there’s little chance of burns, unless you’re in the middle of a forest fire or out in the sun too long. Just think! No burns to tongues, the roof of your mouth, or fingers, and many fewer house fires.
5.) Cleaning up after a raw meal is a snap. No baked-on oils or crusty messes. And any inedible parts go directly to the compost pile.
6.) Eating a diet of raw foods can reverse or stop the advance of many chronic diseases,
including heart disease and cancer. Remember, cooking creates free radicals, which are the major cause of cancer. When you lower the number of free radicals your cells are bombarded with, you lower your risk of cancer.

7.) A raw food diet can protect you from acute diseases such as colds, flu, measles, etc. Raw foods maintain a healthy body, and a healthy body will not become diseased.
8.) As long as you combine raw food properly according to the rules of Natural Hygiene,
you will soon reach a level where you no longer suffer from heartburn, gas, indigestion or constipation.
9.) It is environmentally sound. With humanity on a diet of raw foods, the food industry would close up shop and take up organic gardening. This would save us enormous amounts of natural resources used to produce power for these industries. Nuclear power would be clearly unnecessary. And think of how many trees and oil reserves could be saved without the need for the paper and plastics used in packaging our processed foods.There would also be less carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere when all the cooking stopped. More oxygen would be produced from all the new orchards and gardens, thus helping to reverse the Greenhouse Effect.
10.) Eating raw saves you money on food, vitamins, pots and pans, appliances, doctor bills, drugs, and health insurance.

So don’t waste your food, yourself, and planet by cooking what you eat. Fruits, nuts, and vegetables which are whole, fresh and raw are brimming with life and have the ability to transmit their life force directly to you.
