What is RAW?
Some raw foodists don’t like the word, but we’ve actually come to like it. It’s earthy, sexy, powerful and a good pun with roar – which is sometimes how eating fresh uncooked vegan food makes you feel. Rawring with zest for life! As for the Greek word, ‘omofagia’ ...hmmm… sounds a little cannibalistic. We prefer the term ‘fotinofagia which roughly translates into ‘ eating light-filled food’. And that’s what it is all about:
Eating foods that are pulsing with life force, with sparkle, with starlight.

THE RAW DANCE
You don’t have to be a 100% raw foodist but making fresh food a staple part of your diet can only give you tenfold reward. Do take it easy at first and dispel with any feelings of shame and guilt with anything you eat. To us, it is not so much as being on or off the wagon, but more of a dance at the deepest level where your organs, skin and cells can function as they were meant to - certainly not weighed down clearing sludge. Of course you are not going to tango straight off. For most people, it starts as a slow trot with certain stops and starts until you find your rhythm, pick up the tempo and twirl away! There are no rules either; there are only guidelines and suggestions but ultimately, learning to listen to the needs of your own body will reveal more than any text book or lecturer.
And we are here as ardent supporters of raw food, or ‘fotinofagia’, to journey with you, share our insights, experiences, recipes and to ‘rawganise’ adventures, especially with those living in or close to Cyprus.

Why starlight?
Well…if such food is filled with the sun’s light intact because it hasn’t been heated above 48 C (100F) and the sun is a star, then… you are eating starlight! How lovely is that! And did you know that when you cook a food over this temperature, 100% of its enzymes are destroyed – and enzymes are what you need if your body is going to convert nutrients into energy and new cell material.

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour
