A person, by choosing what types of food to consume, develops a certain eating regimen . These habits that make up your diet can be acquired for health, ethical or other reasons.
Raw veganism , in this framework, is the diet followed by those who only consume raw vegetables . This is a more limited version of veganism , the essence of which is to reject products of animal origin.
A raw vegan individual, therefore, eats only vegetables that have not been cooked. Your menu may include vegetables , legumes and fruits , for example, always raw.
The raw vegan diet is usually adopted to respect all forms of animal life. Raw vegans, in this way, reject the exploitation of animal species, maintaining that it is possible to eat vegetables. Regarding the choice of raw foods, it is associated with the beneficial properties that these fresh foods offer.
