Superfoods: how the heck do they make them?
I know what superfoods are and how they're supposed to benefit us. But how are they made? It's all dried powder.
Here, for example, is maca in the wild:
and here's the stuff we end up buying at stores:
And I'm not just talking about maca. That was just one example. I'm talking about all superfood powders. What process is used? They're obviously dried, but do we have assurances that they're sun-dried? How do we go from a fresh herb to a dried powder, and can we be so sure that they still have the same benefits in powder form, regardless of how they're made?

Thanks for posting, Charles. I've also been pondering on this topic and not just superfoods but herbal supplements, tinctures, elixers etc. On an energy level seems they'd certainly be dim of life force.

I wonder if you could grow maca? It grows at such high elevations. Superfood is such a funny term- it's just regular food to the people who live in the parts of the world where it's grown:)

I dont like to use any powders for this very reason. Raw cacao once in a blue moon but thats it.
Whats the point of using maca anyway? I dont get it. I get plenty of energy eating raw foods alone.

The superfoods are made by dehydrating them at low temperatures, then blending into a powder.
Dehydrating preserves the enzymes and life force. The raw vegan superfoods are still living.
For example, one of the best superfoods is Pure Synergy. Here is a kirlian photo of the Pure Synergy superfood powder, you can see that it still has the electrical life force energy,
Cooked, dead foods do not have this electrical energy.

thank you!
with a razor blade.
I just used a tiny bit of olive oil to make it moist... I mostly used the avocado.
Larabars are 100% raw (well, most of them) and they're really good. Think Organic bars are raw and organic. You'll get twice the Larabar for less money, but they're both really good.
Please share your easy desserts. I've finally gone 100% raw, but I'm having a hard time staying way from candy... (I haven't caved yet) I'm looking for desserts that don't need nuts as I'd like to eat them after dinner.
Thanks!
