Raw and all Natural

In addition to going Vegan, you may go further and decide to go Raw and all Natural.

Using only raw ingredients in your meals can be quite inspiring. Raw food is healthy and delicious.

While some foods must be cooked in order to gain from their nutrients, having  certain foods raw helps preserve their vitamins and antioxidants, and preparing raw dishes can also be fast and simple. 
I have also included a few recipes for you.
