Raw food (aka 'living cuisine' ) is a meat-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, sugar-free, natural and unprocessed way of eating. Simply put, it is a cuisine consisting of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and sprouts where nothing is heated above 118 degrees.
Pictured here are a few culinary experiments. Raw food is actually much more versatile and satisfying than the definition would lead you to believe.
Additionally, many people experience physical benefits from eating a diet which is high in raw food. Some people experience dramatic weight loss. Others may find relief from debilitating ailments such as cancer, diabetes, depression, gastrointestinal disorders, hepatitis, joint problems, fatigue, candidiasis, asthma, or autoimmune diseases (among others).
Although these statements have not been approved by the FDA, I can tell you from personal experience that living cuisine has helped me deal with at least a few of these issues.
