Raw foodism is the dietary practice of eating only uncooked, unprocessed foods. Depending on the exact philosophy or type of lifestyle and results desired, raw food diets may include a selection of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, eggs, fish, meat and dairy products.
It may also include simply processed foods such as various types of sprouted seeds, cheese, and fermented foods such as yogurts, kefir, kombucha or sauerkraut, but generally not foods that have been pasteurized, homogenized, or produced with the use of synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, industrial solvents or chemical food additives. Here are some example of the food you wanna eat raw.
Nutmeg
This is to be eaten in moderation. Taking in extreme quantities may end in myristicin poisoning, which can result in memory loss and visual distortions.
Fesikh
Fermented, Egyptian fish is fine to dine. Dry it in the sun or ferment in salt for a whole year. Botulism will come to those who don't wait.
Ackee
Ensure it's ripe before consuming. Avoid the black seeds at all costs, unless you desire something called Jamaican vomiting sickness.
Potato
Raw potatoes, make sure to avoid any green ones, though. Glycoalkaloids found in these can cause diarrhea or put you in a coma.
Fugu (aka Puffer) Fish
Discard the liver and internal organs before they make you ill. Cyanide has nothing on fugu poison: it's 1,200 times more deadly.
Rhubarb
Normally pickled or baked into pies, this leafy plant contains a poison known as oxalic acid. This only becomes a concern, however, when had in large amounts.
Starfruit
As pretty as it sounds, you should probably only try starfruit if you have strongkidneys. Impaired kidneys can't filter out neurotoxins, making starfruit and its oxalic acid bad news for weak systems. Side effects include vomiting, convulsions, and mental confusion.
Elderberries
This fruit should be consumed fully ripened, minus the leaves, twigs, seeds and roots. Ingesting them too soon could mean cyanide poisoning.
Sannakji
Cover this raw Korean dish with extra sesame oil and chew like crazy. Remember: they're served alive. If they fight back and attach themselves to your insides, you'll choke.
