Raw falafel recipe
I wanted to make a raw falafel recipe that didn’t rely on nuts as the base ingredient,
so I soaked a mix of buckwheat and sunflower seeds.
These hearty dehydrated raw vegan, grain-free falafels are delicious, and is a healthy alternative to traditional deep-fried falafels.
This falafel recipe is a nutrient-packed and delicious way to incorporate raw plant-based ingredients into your diet.
Raw food tends to contain more nutrients than cooked food, as cooking can destroy some vitamins and minerals.
Also by keeping your falafels raw the enzymes keep intact, which keep us young and vibrant.
and best of all maybe is that you can actually make them in no time!
Together with the cashew tzatziki, this is a great snack, or with a big green salad can be more of a main meal.
