Foods that are good to have in a Raw Food Kitchen Seeds for jar sprouting like clover, radish Raw almond butter, if it doesn’t say raw on the jar, it isn't Raw tahini, if it doesn't say raw on the jar it isn't Almonds, or other type of nut, or a variety both shelled and unshelled. Try walnuts, pecans, cashews, hazelnuts (filberts), macadamias, pine nuts Dried fruit-raisins, prunes, apricots. Spices and herbs (some suggestions): cayenne pepper, Chinese 5 spice powder, cinnamon, basil, oregano, cumin, curry powder mix, fennel, dill, etc) Raw carob powder Dates Seaweed: try dulse flakes, kelp Fresh garlic, parsley, cilantro, basil , ginger, chives Lemons to flavor and preserve food Nori sheets, green seaweed squares make great roll-ups instead of bread Flax seed oil (I have a strong preference for Barlean's high lignan brand), extra-virgin olive oil Olives Sun Dried Tomatoes for delicious marinara sauce all year round. Sunflower seeds. Shelled. My personal favorite, low cost, high protein, easy to use. Water. Tap water is basically not acceptable in most places. You do not want to drink chorine or fluoride. Buy it, filter it (reverse osmosis) or distill it. And of course fresh produce. I always have bags of pre-washed baby lettuces, red pepper, tomato, onion, celery and anything I can find that is unique, different, exotic. Go for variety. Do not eat the same thing all the time. Right now I have "watermelon" radishes, lovely white on the outside and pink and green like a watermelon slice on the inside, daikon radish, black radish, gold carrots, bok choy, red cabbage, beets, zucchini. Experiment. Talk to the produce manager at your store. Use sprouts all the time, especially sunflower and buckwheat-you can't find a better food. Buy them or grow them depending on where you live.
