*What are natural foods?
The term ‘natural foods’ is banded around here there and everywhere in the foodie world – usually accompanied by images of luscious farmland and grazing animals.
But what does it actually take for a food to be ‘natural’?
Natural foods and drinks will mean something different for everyone as it’s a pretty vague and un-policed term.
But, generally speaking, natural foods are:
Free from synthetic and artificial ingredients or additives
Unprocessed
Full of nutrients
For example, a carrot picked straight from the ground would be classed as natural but that carrot cake on the shelf in the supermarket – not so natural.
