Bare salads, plain fruit, raw unsalted nuts, simple seeds…

Sound like a taste bud trip on the train to boring-ville, or what?  Well, while the above ingredients do make for a delicious base of many raw food recipes, they can be quite bland on their own.  But contrary to common belief, the raw food lifestyle does not have to be a snore!  No, this way of eating can truly be a treat, while including a vast variety of veg-centric plates that are both satisfying and delicious!

There are a few key ingredients that can be added to many a dish that help to impart all the richness, depth, and exciting flavor that we expect from our favorite foods.  Here are just a few of my top pick taste enhancers, that not only bring out the best in any dish, but also have some brilliant health benefits to boot!
