This course covers the increasingly popular Raw Food Diet that consists of eating raw or low-cooked, unprocessed, mainly organic foods. Topics include digestive enzymes, bacteria, and microorganisms that live in food. Variations of the Raw Foods Diet will be examined, along with the history, philosophy, and common beliefs. Students will learn how raw foods can incorporate into the foundation of any healthy diet as well as how to use raw foods for detoxification and healing. Each week students prepare gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free raw foods.
