The best part of a plant-based / vegan diet is that it pushes you out of your comfort zone and propels you to explore various ingredients, textures and techniques. And that it how I got to exploring and actually appreciating raw food. Yes, raw food does have some benefits but in the case of certain vegetables, we need to cook them to get the maximum nutrition. But these zucchini noodles are prefectly delicious and nutritious and best eaten raw.
