My friend and raw food guru, Rob from Funky Raw, has very kindly informed me that Nakd bars are not raw. Firstly – I feel duped but secondly – I am so sorry to lead you astray.
However it does highlight the point that perhaps there are some people jumping on the raw bandwagon without the pure raw credientials. It is important that raw food is not only ‘not cooked’ but that ALL the ingredients are also absolutely raw. Being ‘raw’ means that all those lovely nutrients are intact. If something is cooked- we’re missing out. I can’t judge too harshly as I am a total hypocrite, but at least I’m honest about that…
I double checked the wording on the Nakd website and this is what they write:
‘nākd bars are a 100% natural wholefood bar – a delicious blend of unsweetened fruit, rolled oats, nuts and spices. Unlike most bars, nākd bars contain no artificial ingredients of any kind, no-added sugar and are made raw, never cooked. In fact, if they were any more natural, you’d have to peel ‘em.’
Reading that you could conclude that they are completely raw as I did. Mmmm. It also doesn’t change the fact they are delicious and are relatively very, very healthy. So – I recommend giving them a try but not if you are trying to be 100% raw.
