Some years back, there was a very popular
Japanese restaurant in North Miami, Florida. I approached my friends,
the owners, and after some serious and
repetitive entreating we began entree trials. It was agreed we would have
a couple of completely raw, organic vegan plates and a couple of raw,
organic plates with the most popular fish. There were dozens of trial dishes
and we finally chose four which were served on a special menu given to
every customer in the crowded eatery with more than 100 seats.
Rawganics supplied the organic produce. People drove many miles to get ORGANIC meals and I was confident that
the SEPARATE REFRIGERATOR and careful, meticulous handling of every one of
the ingredients meant you were getting a 100% certified organic meal.
Rawganics is looking for
restaurants with an interest in adding minimally an organic side menu or
converting their entire kitchen to ORGANIC. We have connections with
consultants who can do any part of the organic conversion at any eatery.
Our part of this is at no charge... we are a project of Vision Earth Society,
a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization. The working relationship with
freelance raw food chefs is all something that is directly between the
restaurant and the individual.
Rawganics is dedicated to facilitating
a high-end gourmet experience designed to please everyone... cooked/junk
food consumers as well.
Repeat: this is not boring raw veggies but GOURMET MEALS.
Questions are best in emails using the

Raw hummus made with
all raw and organic ingredients, including living, sprouted chickpeas. Most hummus
is made from cooked chickpeas. Raw hummus takes a little more work and some love.

good as they look. Prepared and photographed by Robert Giordano.

These aren't quite like the Chile Rellenos you get in Mexican Restaurants but
they are just as tasty. Organic bell peppers (or any other organic pepper) is
filled with a spicy, raw, and organic paté. Prepared and photographed by

The front page of the Miami Herald's section "C" features the Organic Bites restaurant, a "mom-and-pop" eatery featuring
an organic menu for omnivores and vegans alike. The owner, Andre Reid, sees organic as a growing trend in the market.
The gourmet food here is reasonably priced and no more expensive than many corporate restaurant chains.
As more people desire food without traces of pesticides and other chemicals, we hope to see more restaurants like Organic
Bites in South Florida. To learn more, visit Organic Bites on the web.
