This list of vegetables is a very important part of a balanced and healthy raw food diet. They are loaded with nutrients for building strong healthy bodies and minds. Chlorophyll is one of those magical nutrients, the component that gives veggies their green color. Chlorophyll is the life blood of the plant and in fact is quite similar to human blood in its make up; chlorophyll is centered on magnesium and blood or hemoglobin is centered on iron. The chlorophyll in plants collects and distributes the sun’s energy throughout the plant and is available to us when we eat the plant. Chlorophyll is a great purifier also and works throughout the digestive tract to do just that.
