“Whole Foods” Defined!
Whole foods are typically grown – not made! They’re unprocessed and unrefined (or at least contain very little of either) before being consumed. Whole foods typically don’t contain added ingredients such as sugar, salt, fat, various chemicals or artificial ingredients. They’re grown the way nature intended them (or at least as close as possible) before being molded by human ingenuity.
For example, sunflower seeds being placed inside a press to be squeezed of their oil is an example of processing (albeit minimal processing). On the other hand, the sunflower seed in it’s entirety, before being pressed of its oil, is an example of a whole food. Furthermore, a naturally grown chicken or turkey and the flesh they produce, is considered whole food until adulterated or combined with extraneous ingredients such as the ones mentioned above.
