Welcome to RawVegan.com - Our new online raw vegan store
We're really excited to bring you this new website!
To introduce RawVegan.com, let me first give you a little background on the use of the word "raw vegan."
Back in 1998, I was living in California at the start of what a burgeoning raw food movement that was soon to gain extreme popularity worldwide. Back then, there were only a few people promoting this lifestyle, but they did it very well. The words everybody used was "raw foodist" or "raw food diet." The term "raw vegan" was not popular.
But, because there were many diverging opinions in raw foodists some people were meat eaters while the majority were vegans. While working at my magazine Just Eat An Apple, my editor suggested to start using the term "raw vegan" more often to make the distinction. Therefore, this term started to be used more and more.
To me, the word "raw vegan" is not a description of some sort of strict lifestyle. RawVegan.com is about promoting both the benefits of raw plant foods (that's the "raw" part, as well as the benefits of a plant-based diet (that's the "vegan" part).
We are non-dogmatic people (years of experience taught me that) wishing to share our hard-earned knowledge with others who are willing to listen. Enjoy the benefits of raw foods and a plant-based diet, and may we help you in this quest.
