I only went raw about two weeks ago, but I have noticed that since going raw, my tastebuds seem to be much more keen to flavors than ever before. Has anyone else noticed a distinct sharpening in sense of taste?
I just finished a plate of softened mushroom caps tossed with olive oil and cayenne peppper with a mustard dipping sauce, and a bowl of pureed strawberries, raspberries, and oranges drizzled with honey for dessert, and it was honestly one of the most delicious meals I've had all year! I'm still getting used to how flavorful such simple combinations of nuts, fruits, and veggies can be! And yesterday, I made guacamole and it was like a flavor explosion in my mouth; the fiance had to practically pry the bowl away from me!
...none of these foods were ever really particularly delectable or so full of flavor(I used to hate guacamole) until after I "cleansed my palette" so to speak:p Each new raw dish i've tried just tastes so...alive!
