Welcome to Crudessence

The Crudessence team is pleased to offer living foods in all of their natural splendor! Our approach involves much more than the raw diet, as it is also completely vegan (contains no animal products) and organic. Living foods, so rich in nutrients and enzymes, are now well-known for their ability to revitalize and alkalinize the body, making it healthier and more energetic.

Crudessence is highly sensitive to the impact that our dietary choices have on both the environment and our quality of life. A diet high in living foods is an environmental and economic commitment that leads to greater self expression, community involvement and global health.

We take such immense pleasure in offering a multitude of services that will allow you to fully nourish your body and mind while participating in this great food movement. We invite you to discover more of yourself through our restaurants, culinary academy and extended community of inspired individuals!

Changing the world one bite at a time… bon appétit!

A sustainable company

We believe that the way we eat has a massive impact on our environment and our health. Crudessence offers the pinnacle of healthy eating: food choices based on respect for life and for global well-being. The company appeals not only to gourmet ecologists but also to all those who wish to enhance their health, the curious, athletes and anyone seeking to awaken their bodies and minds.

Crudessence is more than food without cooking, without animal products, without gluten and organic/local. It is a committed company accepting amazing daily culinary challenges in order to create healthy, natural and tasty dishes and share in the celebration of life with other people.

Education is in our make-up. The popularity of the intensive one-day “living foods” workshop (offered more than 300 times to date) led to the development of an authentic Academy of Living Foods. The Academy now offers over 15 workshops devoted to nutrition, culinary techniques and recipes, biology and the philosophy of living foods.

We aim to be an example of human-centred green entrepreneurial success. To show that ingrained respect for the environment and all stakeholders at the heart of our activities are not only viable but also critical for sustainable success. We are working to disseminate global well-being through our goods and service offering, environmental choices, human resources network, construction choices and daily actions, such as the following:

• Composting
• Direct links with the local farmers
• Compostable packaging
• Environmental construction with recycled products
• Bicycle delivery
• Support and education of employees
• Sponsorship of small supplies
• Reintegration into society of marginalized workers
• Community workshops for families
• Conferences in hospitals, nursing schools and health centres
