What is the raw food diet? A raw foodist avoids heat-processed grains and most animal products (although some consume raw fish, milk and meat); raw foodists eat nuts, seeds, sprouted grains, fruits and vegetables—ones that haven’t been heated past 118°F. To make our healthy recipes part of a raw food diet, substitute extra virgin olive oil for cold-pressed olive oil, replace vinegar with raw apple cider vinegar, use raw sugar in place of sugar and raw honey in place of honey.Watch Video

Cilantro Chutney (Kothmiri Chatni)

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Indian chutneys (or chatnis) are savory, vibrant and exploding with flavor, with a thin, saucy consistency. In this green chutney recipe, cilantro creates the basic sauce that serves as a condiment for many Indian snacks, street foods and sandwiches. The serrano chile gives it quite a blast of heat, so use less if you like a tamer sauce. Try this chutney in place of your favorite hot sauce.

Almond-Stuffed Dates

Medjool dates are softer than their semi-dry Deglet Noor cousins and therefore, much easier to stuff with almonds. This healthy snack recipe can also be turned into an addictive appetizer by adding a little blue cheese to the stuffing.
