raw diet

The raw diet is simply a diet that consists of primarily or exclusively foods that remain unprocessed and in the "raw" state.

Often, raw diets consist of just plant based foods, but other times, raw meat may be included in the diet. Generally when discussing raw food with meat, people are referring to a raw food diet for cats or dogs, however, some humans will also consume raw eggs, meat and fish.

The raw vegetable diet or raw vegan diet as it is often called includes food, either eaten alone or combined to make simple or even gourmet dishes, that includes veggies, fruits, greens, beans, legumes, nuts, seed, seaweeds, herbs and algaes.

Consuming green foods from the wild is often considered the best of the best in the raw food choices. Wild foods, which may include medicinal mushrooms and herbs, can help tonify the organs and tissues within the body. They are considered by proponents of a raw food diet to be healthier than the domesticated foods that are generally available in the grocery stores, farmers markets and even the average home garden.
