What you can eat with raw food

A raw food diet is a food system in which the use of products without heat treatment is allowed.

When food is not exposed to heat, enzymes are stored in it - enzymes that are actively involved in maintaining immunity and the healthy functioning of the body. Raw food is "live", which determines its beneficial properties.
