Living Vegan - 3 Sub Categories of Raw Veganism

By Alistair Bedingford

A raw vegan is someone who, at least 75% of the time eats vegan food that has not been heated above 115F. While a raw food vegan diet seems like a pretty specialized diet there are actually sub categories of raw veganism. This article spotlights 3 of the more popular sub categories of a vegan diet.

Sub Category 1 - Raw Fruitarians

Vegetarians do not eat dead animals; vegans do not eat anything produced by an animal. Fruitarians take things one step further. They do not believe in killing any living thing including plants, to get their food. Their diet consists of foods that can be harvested from a plant without killing it (ie. nuts, fruits and seeds). In this type of diet it is important to ensure that enough proteins are being consumed.

Sub Category 2 - Raw Sproutarian

As opposed to the Fruitarian need to not kill a living plants the Sproutarian focus is on consuming a living plant embryo. As the name suggests Sproutarians only eat foods that have sprouted. They feel that sprouted food has all the elements necessary for life since it has all the active nutrients to feed the plant embryo. The Sproutarian diet consists of sprouted legumes, seeds or grains.

Sub Category 3 - Raw Juicearian

The Juicearian diet requires that food is juiced before it can be consumed. The juice can come from either fruits or vegetables.

Amongst Juicearians, wheat grass is one of the most popular foods consumed. The reason is because wheat grass is alive and planted right up until the moment it is consumed. The process is to cut the wheat grass, juice it and drink. Since it is consumed right after it is harvested it is super fresh and is believed to contain a maximum amount of life force.

So those are 3 interesting sub categories of raw veganism. Enjoy eating raw and enjoy the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. - 17268
