“Why Blending?”… I can take advantage of the growing season to get fresh produce at the cheapest cost. And most all is raw that is blended. There’s less waste when fresh produce starts to age and b4 it goes bad, it can be blended and frozen, not thrown away. For example, strawberries, which don’t last that long, can be roughly blended and poured into plastic ice cube trays and frozen… then just pop the cubes out and into a gallon zip-lock bag and back into the freezer… same with kiwi. Blending dilutes the hot peppers and garlic, which allows more to be ingested into the body. Of course blending is only a supplement to my diet and I do eat fresh produce and other foods during the day or out at resturants. If i'm not eating blended foods, I sprinkle cayenne and turmeric spices on my whole foods... just mix up a small empty spice jar with 30% cayene pepper spice to 60% tumeric spice... bill
