FAQ's

Why is Raw Raw Foods different from any other restaurant?
RRF is not a restaurant. It is a new concept in healthy eating. We use foods that are whole and natural, not refined and processed. Our food is not heated above 118 degrees so the nutrients are not destroyed. All food is made fresh to order. This luscious nourishment is delivered to your downtown location. What could be easier than that? By eating organic vegetables, nuts, seeds and fruit more often you will feel and look better. Don't take our word for it. Try it for yourself!

Is the packaging recyclable or compostable?
Yes! Raw Raw Foods has made an environmental commitment, so our containers are made out of cornstarch and will degrade in a landfill. On the bottom, where the recycle stamp is you will see the letters PLA which means the container is made from annually renewable resources like corn, making it an environmentally preferable option to petroleum-based plastic packaging.

Are your lunches suitable for people on a low carb or low fat diet?
Our foods are vegetable based, we use no refined carbs like flour or rice in anything. We also don't use any dairy products. Some of our dishes have nut based sauces which people who are on a low fat diet might want to avoid. Just let us know when you order if you have any dietary concerns.

What about allergies?
We do use nuts in some things, but we are very careful about our labeling, so all our ingredients will be on the menu page of the web site and on the food container. The last thing we want is for you to become ill from something we prepared.

What the heck are Buckwheaties?
Glad you asked. Buckwheaties are soaked and dehydrated buckwheat groats. They add a crunch and a touch of flavor. While we are talking about healthy additions let us explain a couple of other items you might not be familiar with. Goji berries, also known as wolfberries are being recognized for their nutrient richness and antioxidant qualities. Nama shoyu is an unpasteurized organic soy sauce loaded with beneficial enzymes we use for flavoring some dishes.

Do you sell Gift Certificates?
You bet! Just call us at 941-330-2549 and we will arrange it for you. Our Gift Certificates make a thoughtful token for people recovering from an illness, new parents, the elderly or a just because you care gift.

Do you use artificial sweetener?
Nope, we don't use artificial anything. All food is preservative free and fresh from the ground it grew out of. Organic and local produce are used whenever possible. The foods we prepare are all additive free, free of dairy and refined sugar - completely clean!

How can I earn free meals?

Why do you use hydrogen peroxide to clean produce?
To insure that all germs, bacteria and dirt are removed. You would be surprised what we see in this rinse water.

I just placed my order online. How will I know the order was received?

Why should I order from Raw Raw Foods?
It's super-delicious, nutritious, additive-free, local, sustainable, seasonal, convenient and did we mention it's mostly organic?!?

Why is your food only 'mostly' organic?
Because we want to bring you the best food for the best price, and sometimes the ingredients we need are not available in organic and or cost way too much.
