Best Raw Vegan Restaurants Around the World
What is a Raw Vegan Diet?
A raw food diet contains the highest nutritional and electrical-energy foods on the planet and include fresh raw fruits, vegetables, herbs, seaweeds, nuts and seeds. These foods carry the power of life in them. They are full of enzymes, vitamins, minerals (tissue salts), amino acids, antioxidants, simple sugars, water, electricity and much more.
Switching to a raw food diet will allow the body to detoxify, removing mucus, toxins, acids and inflammation allowing the body to heal from chronic and degenerative illnesses including lupus, autoimmune disease, diabetes, anxiety, psoriases and many more.
While a raw vegan diet has been around for centuries it has recently gained popularity as awareness of the health benefits continues to grow. Below we have listed some of the best raw vegan restaurants around the world.
