Because it's too hot to cook in August!
When the last thing you want to do is heat up your kitchen, turn to raw foods to help you keep your cool.
Rawgust, which takes place in August, is an annual festival of consuming everything in its purest form. The title is a combination of the terms “raw” and “august,” resulting in “Rawgust.”
It is a fun way to raise awareness about how much processed food we consume that is harmful to our health and how we can prevent it by switching to organic, natural-state food items that are healthful.
The idea of eating raw foods might sound a little daunting, or even a little boring, but there are many delicious food choices to choose from that go beyond 'rabbit food' and green smoothies.
The fresher, the better! Grow your own or go to a local farmer's market for the best tasting fruits and veggies.
The internet is full of ideas and recipes for raw foods, but here are a couple to get you started.
