what are the high enzyme foods?

[Purl]

Maybe this has been discussed before but I did a search and turned up nuthin'. So-are some raw foods much better than others?

Papaya?
Pineapple?

help me out here... :confused: :p

I would think all RAW fruits and veggies are high enzyme...esp greens and lower carb veggies...I have no proof but I am taking a guess here:)

Are you asking for digestive or nutritional purposes??

[lavendarJ]

I think ones you listed purl - papaya and pineapple would qualify as "high" enzyme foods (because of the bromelain). I am not sure about any others that are high enzyme foods.

If I had to guess I would say that the plant that wants you to eat its produce would have loaded it with more enzymes. This would mean fruit has higher and roots have lower.

In plant derived enzymes you will always see papain and bromelain (papaya and pineapple) They are well known for their anti-inflammatory properties. However I believe that all living foods have enzymes intact.

I'm going shopping today for limes! Thinking about doing a glass of lime juice every morning (of course I'll have to add stevia and water!).
