eats Fun and easy to make - and equally fun and easy to eat. They do get a tad messy but I trust you can handle this. All that’s in these burgers and fries is a whack load of vegetables and spices. Goes like this: throw stuff in the food processor, rub things with your hands, toss something in the dehydrator and you’ll have a gourmet raw food meal in no time! (Okay, I may have simplified that process a little.) But seriously - it’s pretty much that easy. Look at the colors of this food. It’s alive. I’m alive. Let’s boogy. I was looking for jicama but went with what was at the store and they turned out great! If you're new to raw food - go with jicama first. The burgers are bursting with flavor and when piled with fixings - best option for dinner!
