When I started this 3 years ago, it was the green smoothie. That was my first thing I tried raw. Then the avocado and a pomegranite.

Practically everything it seems. Especially since most was cooked before so it doesn't count. Hard to believe I went without so much yummy, healthy food. I love trying new stuff too.

Pretty much everything. I was a vegetarian for 15 yrs. before going raw vegan but really, my version of vegetarian rarely included any vegetables.

Since going raw vegan some of the new things I have tried are:

zucchini & squash (yum)
avocado (yum yum)
sprouts (meah)
kale (SUPER YUM)
young thai coconut (:::drools:::)
dates (yum)
durian (yum-ish)
cherimoya (okay)
beets (yum)
mushrooms (YUM YUM YUM)
purple cabbage (DELICIOUS)
oat groats (yum)
parsnip (yum)
kumquats (yum)

Green smoothies and durian (oh god, that fruit is foul! and yes, I've tried it three times now).

I was pretty happy eating fresh fruit and veg before raw, so not much is new, but now I get SUPER excited over tropical fruit!
