Is it considered raw???
I'm sure this has been posted before but here it goes...
Is cooking in lemon/lime juice such as ceviche considered raw?
Is pickling considered raw?
If I grind my own wheat to make my own bread is that wheat considered too refined???

I had it the other night, and I do not think I will do that again. It was tasty, but scallops and shrimp were used, which is traditionally not what I think of with cerviche. My stomach was hurting the next morning.
The sesame ahi tuna I had was good, though. Extra, extra rare, it was still cold in the middle :-)

That's funny. Usually when I think of ceviche the first ingredient I think of is shrimp! :)

The reason for asking is that I've been reading a book from Dr. Bernard Jensen and he is a well known nutritionist. He recommends mostly raw foods but cautions from pickled foods due to the unnatural amount of salts and vinegar. He recommends salts from organic veggies and fruits since he considers any other salts inorganic. So I also ask if using natural acid such as lemon/lime even apple cider will alter the chemical of the food to the point where it's not considered no longer raw?! Same as grinding my own wheat... since I'm not taking anything out is it considered un-refined? Or is it the process that makes the wheat refined???

Thank you ladies for all your knowledge.
As for freezing sushi I believe it is done to kill all the bacteria... since they can't survive after a certain termperature. It may apply to other meats as well but I'm not sure about that. It is generally recommended that you have it as fresh as possible. And I have tried raw meats as well as raw sushi when I was young and I actually enjoyed very much. I believe most people just can't stomach the thought of swallowing raw meat because it's not the norm in "our" society.

Nothing canned is raw. Most of the time it's precooked(which beans are) and the canning process involves high heat.
Most conventional spices that are high heat dried before being ground and packaged.
Yeast... If you mean nutritional yeast, it is heat dried.
Miso is fermented, I personally don't consider fermented foods raw as it's a processed food not in it's original state. I think they use cooked rice to make miso too.

I can understand that canned, picked, cooked even with natural acid can be considered not so "healthy" foods but why shun meat/fish??? If it can be eaten in it's natural state without risk then it can be of great benefit to the body. Most people argue that it's not natural or that humans aren't meant to eat meat. Why? We have canine teeth. We are omnivorous by nature so why do we go against nature? Just want to know.

There are not many shops anywhere in the UK carrying raw foods! Detox Your World are the brand to look out for in shops, it might even be worth contacting them to see if they have any shops in your area that stock their products. (Although you might…
