This is the First Green Raw Vege meal i ever prepare along my hostel life.
The term "vegetable" generally means the edible parts of plants. The definition of the word is traditional rather than scientific, however, and therefore the usage of the word is somewhat arbitrary and subjective, as it is determined by individual cultural customs of food selection and food preparation.
Generally speaking, an herbaceous plant or plant part which is regularly eaten as unsweetened or salted food by humans is considered to be a vegetable.
[citation needed] Mushrooms belong to the biological kingdom Fungi, not the plant kingdom, and yet they are also generally considered to be vegetables, at least in the retail industry. Nuts, seeds, grains, herbs, spices and culinary fruits are usually not considered to be vegetables, even though all of them are edible parts of plants.
In general, vegetables are those plant parts that are regarded as being suitable to be part of savory or salted dishes, rather than sweet dishes.[citation needed]However there are many exceptions, such as the pumpkin, which can be eaten as a vegetable in a savory dish, but which can also be sweetened and served in a pie as a dessert.
Some vegetables, such as carrots, bell peppers and celery, are eaten either raw or cooked; while others are eaten only when cooked.

Perhaps the best diet you can adapt is that of a raw vegetarian diet. The benefits are incredible: More energy, reversing the aging process, becoming and remaining disease free, and essentially running at your most optimal level. You are putting powerful foods into your body, instead of the usual junk that most of us have been accustomed to eating.
Here's how to become a raw vegetarian:
1. Raw Vegetables.
Begin simply by trying out many of your favorite vegetables and consuming them on the side, uncooked. You'll find out your favorites which will serve as a good base to get started with while learning and trying out other raw vegetables. You will want to make sure you eating organically grown vege's, or your own vegetables from your garden.
2. Transition.
You don't have to go full throttle raw vegan right away. It should be more of a transition. And the transition phase can be very healthy. Essentially you will want to continue eating some cooked food, such as healthy rice and oatmeal. From there you simply add in your raw vegetables or fruits. Gradually cut back slightly on your cooked foods while increasing your raw foods. By this time you will have researched and read (see #3) great recipes and ways to eat raw consistently, and can eliminate your cooked meals.
3. Raw Eating Book with Recipes.
This will be an indispensable tool for becoming a raw vegetarian. There are so many unique and simple ideas and recipes out there that you'll be amazed at the different possibilities for going raw. Once you learn a handful you can easily transition them into your regular eating.
