Raw is not specific enough; it's need to be "raw food". Just the word raw meant to me as in a mineral or commodity so I was quite perturbed to find that "unrefined", "uncut", "untouched", etc. were not viable options. I went through about 10 examples and still couldn't get it; if food had been included I would've had it instantly.
