The concept of eating raw food isn’t new by any means, but it has gained much greater popularity during recent times owing to its unquestionable benefits on health, energy and overall vitality, as well as its ability to basically make us look and feel a whole lot better than we’ve ever done before. As old as time itself, raw food was, of course, what we ate before fire was discovered (we must have done OK on it to get that far!)
To give you a brief overview of what raw food means in real terms, here’s a list of the 20+ different raw food groups: Fresh fruits; Vegetables; Salad vegetables; Leafy green vegetables; Herbs and wild greens; Nuts; Dried fruits; Beans, pulses and legumes (sprouted); Grains (sprouted); Seeds; Sprouting seeds; Indoor greens; Vegetable seeds (sprouted); Edible flowers; Mushrooms; Sea vegetables; Algaes; Oils; Stimulants (e.g. chilli, ginger, onion); Spices; Superfoods; Flavourings and natural sweeteners (e.g. agave nectar, stevia).
So who likes to become a Rawer?

‘Dart’ is absolutely correct. Never eat raw grains, pulses etc. Kidney-beans in particular have a compound that requires breaking down with heat.
Boiling these before eating is a must.
All newcomers to this are advised not to jump into this without preparation.

Nick, you forgot a couple of things about raw vegan food. You do have to soak your nuts overnight to get rid of the chemical that they have built in to keep them from getting rancid. You also have to sprout alot of the beans and grains. There are other rules to make sure you get the optimum digestion of raw foods. It is not an easy thing to do. You have to have time to plan what you are going to eat, have the time to prepare it, and the intelligence to be a raw foodist (good luck with this one!). Raw food is not for the lazy.

Anthony Robbins is an American self-help writer and professional speaker who has been active for over 30 years. He became well known through his infomercials and bestselling self-help books, Unlimited Power: The New Science Of Personal Achievement and Awaken The Giant Within. The first edition of Unlimited Power was published by Fawcett Columbine (Ballantine Books) in 1987.[2] Robbins writes about subjects such as health and energy, overcoming fears, persuasive communication, and enhancing relationships. He also became well known in America and internationally through infomercials promoting personal development audio programs and motivational seminars. His audio programs, seminars and self-help products featured Neuro-linguistic programming and Ericksonian hypnosis which he studied at the start of his career. [3][4] Robbins seminars also used firewalking as a metaphor for overcoming fears and limiting beliefs. Later, Robbins combined his skills and techniques with other methods claimed to affect personal change.
