Raw Food Paradise…

Bali really  is a fantastic place to visit and live for anyone who enjoys great tasting raw vegan cuisine.

Fresh, ultra-healthy food is in abundance here. Thanks to the efforts of a handful of dedicated local farmers, organic vegetables are readily available. Favorite raw food fruits like coconuts, mangoes, mangosteen and durian grow in many backyards. And world class superfoods such as organic raw cacao beans and coconut oil are rarely more than a phone call away.

Because of this rich diversity, Bali is a preferred destination of raw food enthusiasts from all over the world. Not only does the island annually attract 100s of visitors who love eating most of their food raw, but it is also home to a thriving community of raw food enthusiasts and pioneers.

Among this group there are regular gatherings which showcase a variety of impressive raw food dishes. We’ll be featuring some of them here in our Forum. There are also special high end raw cuisine meals served at local restaurants and resorts on an ongoing basis.

Plus, raw foods have started to go “mainstream” on Bali – there are now several restaurants across the island that offer a regular raw food menu alongside their cooked dishes. That puts Bali way ahead – and in the company of more famous raw food meccas like New York City and Southern California.

RawFoodBali.com brings all this information together on one website. Think of it as a gateway to everything about raw vegan food and the raw food lifestyle on Bali.

Whether you live on Bali or are visiting, have a look through our resource section where we list raw friendly restaurants, resorts, markets and more.

Also be sure to check out the events calendar and come along to one of our raw food classes.  Here’s to great tasting food and radiant health combined!

Hope to hear from you soon!
