What is the raw food diet?
The raw food diet, or raw foodism, is the practice of eating solely uncooked and unprocessed foods. It's a more stringent version of the clean eating diet plan, and is known for providing health and weight loss benefits due to the diet's heavy consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Research shows that the raw food diet benefits the human body because when food hasn't been heated, microwaved, genetically-engineered or exposed to pesticides, it keeps most of its nutrients, and therefore betters health when consumed.

Taste
Skeptical at first, I expected raw cookies to taste as gross as nibbling on weed. After eating the first few, though, these raw cookies pleasantly surprised me with their sweet-and-tangy combination of ginger, coconut and dates. Each bite exploded with a zing at first, due to ginger's strong spiciness; but coconut and dates' sweetness, along with wholesome toasted sesames, soon took over.
The overall taste-experience was pleasurable with sweet, tangy and spicy flavors. If I didn't watch intake, I would have easily finished the whole bag!
Texture
Go Raw Ginger Snaps come in dime-sized bites, with raised, uneven texture from mending toasted coconuts, sesames and ginger with dates. They're crunchy but still soft to chew, and have the size and texture of any fun finger foods.
In my opinion, their texture and size are perfect.
Work Friendliness
These healthy packaged snack bites are not messy, sticky or greasy, and make great healthy snacks for work.
That come in clean-cut, re-sealable bags that are great for carrying and storing. They won't leave your desk messy or your fingers sticky. Also, they don't have strong odor, so you can enjoy them without bothering co-workers.
Because these cookies have no artificial additives, they won't leave you feeling greasy, bloated or tired. In fact, they give you natural energy to endure tough work days with.
Final Thoughts
The Go Raw Ginger Snap Super Cookies serve as both desserts and health foods. They're raw, and therefore contain foods' full nutrients, but are also tasty to snack on at work.
The only problem? They might leave you wanting more!
