Dining: Raw diet trend finding way onto health-conscious tables

Collard greens are a healthful part of a raw food diet, as are many

cooking at all. Foods are served raw. That's right. No sauteing,

frying, roasting or grilling. Dishes are prepared by juicing,

dehydrating, blending, grinding, mixing and slicing.

preparation in which all ingredients are raw, organic and vegan (no

fish, meat, eggs or dairy products), and nothing is heated above 118

degrees Fahrenheit.
