Raw food is full of healthy nutrients.
Raw food restaurants cater to vegetarians and vegans with menu selections that are prepared using uncooked fruits and vegetables. Raw food retains its natural nutritional value versus cooked food that loses nutrients when prepared at high temperatures. Miami Beach is home to one restaurant that serves raw food; however the surrounding area of downtown Miami offers more raw food dining options.
