Raw food refers to a vegan diet that goes beyond not eating animal products. There is no cooking involved, and nothing is heated over 118 degrees Fahrenheit/ 48 degrees Celsius. The ingredients used are not chemically processed, pasteurized, homogenized, genetically modified, or otherwise compromised. The creativity in the raw food cuisine comes from blending, soaking, marinating, slicing, dicing and drying at low temperatures.
Prana means "life Force Energy", which is contained in the enzymes that raw foods posses. These enzymes are destroyed when cooked.
