Nuts and Seeds:
Nuts and seeds are a wonderful source of protein for the Raw Vegan/Vegan diet. These are a listing of some of the nuts. Keep in mind, that you need to eat these in moderation. Cashews have been debated as to whether they are "raw" or not. You can make the decision on choosing cashews or not.
Eat nuts such as almonds, walnuts or hazelnuts. Nuts contain omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, which helps make you feel full. The fiber in nuts may also improve overall heart health and lower your cholesterol, according to the Mayo Clinic.
