Guest guest Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 A Grass Root's approach Uncooked seeds and nuts are the stars on a restaurant's " live'' menu. By Michael Canning Published April 7, 2006 If it sprouts a tail, it's good eating to the folks at Grass Root Organic Restaurant and Culture Shop, which opened March 22 at 2702 N Florida Ave. in Tampa Heights. In fact, it's as good as it gets. You see, there's vegetarian cuisine, then vegan, then raw, and finally live. As in, alive. Nothing that can look you in the eye, mind you. But if you've ever eaten a sunflower seed or nut that's been soaking in water and has a sprout coming out of it, you've eaten live food. " Raw foods create living bodies, and cooked foods create dying bodies,'' said Grass Root co-owner Sabrina Aird. " Once you heat food over 115 degrees, it destroys the enzymes necessary for proper digestion.'' Moreover, when a soaking seed or nut sprouts, its nutritional value goes up.
