Living food, or RAW FOOD, provides your body with the full spectrum of vital ingredients available from each bite. Natural foods on this planet are equipped with the necessary elements to be easily processed and utilized by our bodies. Eat a raw organic apple, and your body recognizes the nutrients as useful. All the enzymes needed for easy digestion are fully present in each living morsel. Now, when we take and bake an apple, substantial changes take place in these same components: some of the nutrients are altered, some enzymes are missing, and the body now has additional work to process that apple. Simply by heating the fruit, it now it takes longer to digest and less useful ‘fuel’ is available to our bodies. Keep it raw!

Special techniques are part of the process, and yes, you can do this at home, but why would you when fabulous treats are available daily at Nature’s Pantry? Nature’s Pantry’s Chef Adam Lewis gained culinary wisdom in his years in western Washington restaurants and now applies his talents with passion for truly incredible living foods, now available in our Deli and Raw Bar. These dishes will amaze you. If taste buds were musical notes, you’d be dancing to the symphony of sound Chef Adam Lewis directs with his daily popular dishes. I would personally waltz a mile for one of Chef Adam Lewis’ Mediterranean Collard Wraps. And oh my! The spicy hummus and crackers! The chocolate mousse! The mango cheesecake!

Generally, these dishes are vegan, low glycemic and gluten-free, too; just check the labels or ask, to be sure. Fresh and organic fruits, vegetables and sprouted grains and nuts combine with other essentials---Super foods, nut oils, exotic spices and herbs---and spin textures and flavors here-to-unknown to our ‘cooked and processed’ taste buds. By limiting the heat and keeping the temperature under 110F, essential elements retain their viability, to better serve your body! Delight yourself on all levels, from the initial awesome hit of taste, to the lightness and bounciness of extra vitality you’ll feel, by enjoying and eating living foods. Ask Mike, who comes into Nature’s Pantry twice a day for the Raw Bar: Mike just discovered living food and “just keeps feeling better and better!” He brought in his brother and he’s introducing living food to his kids at home. I experienced a 100% living diet for two weeks, and never felt better --- and I looked years younger! Little like a spa and a face lift, all in one delicious bite…

Join us for wonderfully tasty foods and more vitality, a truly divine combination, readily available for you at the Raw Bar and Juice Bar at Nature’s Pantry in Bellevue!

Resveratrol Linked to Longevity

Studies have linked the antioxidant found in red wine to health and longevity. But don't try to get the benefits solely from a glass or two of red wine. Resveratrol capsules have high concentrations of the antioxidant. Enzymatic Therapy Resveratrol Forte claims that two capsules have the equivalent amount of Resveratrol as 42 BOTTLES of red wine. Try one of the following brands to promote anti-aging, heart health, and life longevity:
