nuts

Botanically, nuts are the fruit of some trees. In cuisine, the definition is less restrictive and can be used to refer to any large oily seed. Because they are so high in dietary fats and protein, they are a great asset to vegetarians and raw food enthusiasts.


Much like soy, the versatility of nuts is far reaching because of it's ability to replace other options that would be incomparable with the philosophies of those diets, such as meats, eggs, or dairy. Where soy and tempeh have replaced meat, nuts can replace cheese. Raw nut cheese can be made in a food processor simply by combining macadamia nuts, onion, lemon juice and some light spices.
