by Webmaster, All4NaturalHealth.com

While I do not focus on specific raw diet plans on this website, this list of raw foods which I have compiled will give you some ideas on what raw foods can be added to your diet.

This raw food information will thus be able to help you in formulating a raw food diet plan or a raw food diet menu.

Generally, according to raw foodists, foods which are not heated above 116 degrees Fahrenheit are considered 'raw'.

    You can also use various vegetables to prepare vegetable broths, drinking it and not consuming the cooked vegetables.

    If you are not intending to go fully raw, then some of the above list of raw foods, as well as other vegetables, can also be cooked lightly. This includes asparagus, cabbage, leeks, lentils, potatoes, rice, rhubarb, spinach, turnips, etc.

    Preferably, they should be steamed or lightly boiled. Steaming your food is an excellent way of preserving as much of its taste, flavor and nutrient value as possible during the cooking process.

    I hope the above list of raw foods gives you an overall idea of the various types of foods which can be eaten raw. Have fun!
