HOW TO CONSUME ENERGY FROM THE SUN Fresh fruits and vegetables are actually still living when you harvest them and even when you purchase them from the store. They will stay this way until you digest them, until they decompose, or until they are cooked. Sunlight is absorbed by these organisms. While most of the energy is used to create fuel for the plant to grow and thrive, some of this light energy is stored in the DNA of the organism. These light particles are called biophotons, and they can be observed via Kirlian photography. This why fresh fruits and vegetables in their raw state are one of the most potent sources of natural energy available to us.
