Any Phyo’s must-have ingredients to have on hand for preparing raw food recipes:

Almonds

“I use them in every form savory and sweet, including almond butter and almond milk. They’re also a good source of protein and calcium.”

Carob

“I try to limit my caffeine intake, so I use this naturally sweet legume in place of chocolate in desserts and sauces. It has a great nutty, malty flavor.”

Dates

“Dates are a great binder and sweetener; I blend them into bars and cookies. And they’re high in fiber and potassium.”

Nori

“Uncooked nori is a wholesome, mineral-rich way to get salty flavors into salads and soups. Nori sheets are also great for rolls and wraps.”
