What is Raw Food?

The Raw food diet is a diet based on unprocessed and uncooked plant foods such as fresh fruit, vegetables, sprouts, seeds, nuts, grains, beans,  dried fruit, and seaweed. It is primarily vegan-based with a few exceptions.

Cooking food  above 118 degrees Farenheit is believed to destroy enzymes in food that can assist in the digestion and absorption of food. Cooking is also thought to diminish  the nutritional and "life force energy" of food.

 
 The high enzyme and mineral content in raw foods contributes to an overall improvement in health.
