Raw
Raw foodism is a lifestyle that advocates consuming primarily uncooked, unprocessed and often organic foods as a large portion of your diet. If you are eating 75-100% of your foods raw, (unheated or warmed to less than between 104o F - 115o F) then you are considered a raw foodist.
A living foodist believes that the greater the percentage of raw foods consume, the greater are the health benefits. Raw food eating may even include raw meat or other animal products, not necessarily only raw plant foods.
A raw food diet may include fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds (including sprouted whole grains such as gaba rice), eggs, fish (sashimi), meat (e.g. Carpaccio) and non-pasteurized/ non-homogenized dairy products (such as raw milk, cheese and yogurt).
Types Of Raw Foodies
Basically there are 3 groups of people that are proponents of rawism and they can be subdivided further. Raw veganism chooses a variety from the food groups including vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and sprouted grains and legumes. Still further some are strictly fruitarians, juicearians or sproutarians!
Raw vegetarianism favors all of the above and excludes meat, fish and poultry but allows dairy and eggs. It is less common than raw veganism, the most popular form of raw food consumption. Click on any of our fascinating links to learn more about this and other interesting topics!
