Abstract

In the last years, the acceptance of vegetarian diets as a nutritional option has been growing among the population because of the health benefits associated with these diets. Vegetarianism differs from non-vegetarianism in aspects that go beyond the exclusion of meat products: they involve emotional and rational reasons. The raw food stands within the types of vegetarianism, the growing number of adherents in recent years. They feed exclusively on raw foods, sprouted grains, seeds and nuts. The eating habits of vegetarians determine the adequate intake of daily nutrients, which must be taken into account in preparing the diet.The objective of the present study, will to verify the nutritional adequacy of a raw diet consisting of sprouted legumes cooked under three distinct temperatures. The diet will consist of sprouted grains and sprouted grains and not subjected to temperatures of 100ºC, 40ºC and 25°C. Centesimal composition, ascorbic acid, minerals, antinutritional factor, antioxidant , in vitro protein digestibility, in vitro iron availability e microbiological analysis will be analyzed. The results are expressed in base fresh and performed statistical analysis.Keywords: germination, temperature, crudivorism, availability, minerals. (AU)
