Fiber doesnt aid digestion, it inhibits uptake of various nutrients, particularly minerals and cholesterol.
They tell you that fiber aids your digestion in the sense that it counteracts constipation, which is true, as the fiber irritates the bowels so that the bowels want to get rid of it; speeding up excretion, but thats not digestion. They just tell it that way because it sounds better.
Also, greenies are plants that contain a very wide variety of antinutrients that needs to protect them against consumption.
Thirdly, dietary enzymes are not used for digestion as they are not what the body needs to digest those greenies.
Is it possible the Brazil Nuts in the Shell are not raw either ???
They are dried indeed, but generally raw; not heat-dried.
