Yeah, I don't know if this is just a personal take on a raw vegan diet you have come across or a list of someone who is trying out something they are very particular about but, as far as I am aware, you can dehydrate foods and they will still be raw!. And I thought raw vegans ate dried fruit too and well the reason raw vegans (100%) don't eat beans is because beans need to be cooked in order to be edible!. When you buy say cannelli beans in a tin, they are cold but, they are not raw!. They have already been cooked!. You can buy them in their oringinal state in a dry packet which you soak them over night in and then cook!. Although i know that some raw foodists eat them after they are soaked and don't cook them so that is raw but personally i don't think it's that nice!.
Anyway, I think the raw vegan diet is great, I hope to go 100% raw soon, at them moment i'm on and off raw but i always include a lot of raw foods in my diet!. i think you should give it a 30 day trial!. Here is a link to a documented raw foodists 30 day raw trial diary!.
I wish you luck, and I think it's super that you are so well informed, as when i was 16 I was still eating take outs!. Like most people!. I'm 18 now and vegan for nearly 2 years!.
Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

A lot of those things are probably cooked before they go on the shelves at stores!. I believe salt and stuff like that would be heated to be separated!. Good luck with your hardcore diet :/ You can't eat anything from a box or can because the foods have salt! And you could get a thyroid problem without the iodine put in salt!. Get a giant goiter on your neck!. I read a book about vegetarianism written by a doctor fellow, and he supports a vegan diet, but in no way recommends a raw diet!. Why do you need it!? Teens sometimes use excuses to cover up an eating disorder!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It affects the diet!. Being a raw vegan is extreamley controversial and unhealthy!. We have been cooking foods for thousands of years and our stomach has adjusted for easily digestible cooked food!. Some raw food is very bad for you like onions!.
Don't be a raw vegan!. You will be more prone to disease and sickness!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Actually, raw vegans can eat salt, oil, vinegar, spices, maple syrup, agave nectar, dried fruits, nama shoyu, garlic, onion, hot peppers, dehydrated foods (dehydrated under 118 degrees), green drinks, supplements, grains, beans, and tea as long as the things are raw and heated under 118 degrees!. Like grains and beans can be soaked and sprouted!. Agave nectar and maple syrup are available raw along with lots of other sweeteners!. If you lived according to the list above, then the only thing left to eat would be fruits, vegetables, and nuts/seeds (mainly fruits and veggies if only getting 5% of calories from fat)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Ohhh this is really interesting!. I am also 16 and a vegetarian and have been for 3 years!.
i hardly know anything about Raw Vegan !.!.!.!.but i just looked up wikipedia!.!.!.
!.>>>
Raw veganism is a diet which combines vegan ism and raw food ism!. It excludes all food of animal origin, and all food cooked above 48 degrees Celsius (118 degrees Fahrenheit)!. A raw vegan diet includes raw vegetables and fruits, nuts and nut pastes, grain and legume sprouts, seeds, plant oils, sea vegetables, herbs, and fresh juices!. There are many different versions of the diet, including fruitarianism and sproutarianism!. Sometimes the definition of a raw vegan diet is loosened to include vegan diets with at least 75% raw foods!.
so i am only assuming the foods above are cooked above 48 degrees which they exclude!.
I think its a good thing !.!.and maybe one day i would try it!.!.but for now i will stick to being a vegetarian!.
GOOD LUCK !Www@FoodAQ@Com

That is the diet of one person, not raw vegans!. Those are self-imposed restrictions, not restrictions of raw foodism!.
As a raw vegan, I eat many of the items you list, as do most others!.
Cold pressed olive oil, agave nectar (a sweetener), Bragg's, Shoyu, garlic, onions, dates, raw nut butters, and dehydrated foods are staples of a raw food diet, and figure prominently in every raw cookbook I own!. (and I own sixteen!.) In fact, you can't make most recipes without a high speed juicer or a dehydrator!.
Food combining and fat percentage calculation are not generally considered part of raw foodism!.
Many online sources of raw food information are just one person's opinion, and some are just plain nonsense!. Heck, Wikipedia states that most raw foodists eat raw meat!.
Good information sites:

The best books are "Raw Food Made Easy" by Jennifer Cornbleet (recipes that don't require special equipment like a high speed juicer, spiral slicer, or a dehydrator) and "The Complete Book of Raw Food" by Lori Baird and Julie Rodwell!. (Basic recipes, resources and tons of information!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

It seems to me that what you've found is a list of what one individual person excludes from his/her diet - the clue is ''Minimal juicing (Vitamix is OK since I still consume the whole food including the fiber)'' - rather than a set of 'rules' for raw vegans!.
Someone who decided to stick to a raw, vegan diet could eat anything that's vegan and that's raw!. Any other 'rules' are probably self-imposed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They are not raw, they have either had some form of cooking in the process of making them!. Or they require being heated to eat!.
Not sure why with the onions, garlic and peppers though!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

ive actually been considering going raw for awhile but i most of the foods i eat are part of the category you listed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I wouldn't think most of that would be true, but I wouldn't know b/c I AM vegan, but not a raw foodist(though I've been curious about it too!.!.!.)!.
I mean, I could understand things like no dehydrated vegetables and honey(b/c honey isn't vegan anyway!) or maybe things like SOME processed foods and sauces!.!.!. wtf, no beans!? No oil or salt!?
Yeah, I wouldn't follow that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Why the hell would people choose to live like that!? May as well just live on water, i didn't see that on the list!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
