Tag: Raw foodist

According to a 2017 study cited by YouTube, proponents of a raw vegan diet believe that eating only raw and unprocessed plant-based foods can lead to enhanced energy, clearer skin, and improved overall health. The answer to "what do you call someone who only eats raw vegetables" points to a specific subset of this lifestyle.

Raw foodism, also known as rawism, has been practiced in various forms for over a century, although it has gained renewed popularity in the 21st century. A person who only eats raw food is known as a raw foodist, an individual who consumes a diet primarily or entirely composed of uncooked, unprocessed foods. This practice is based on the belief that heating food above a certain temperature, typically 104–118°F (40–48°C), diminishes its nutritional value and destroys natural enzymes.
