Weeell, of course you can. But rice noodles and tofu is definitely not raw food. It's ok to add some cooked things if you feel like it, one does not have to be 100% raw to get some benefits from this diet.

Those foods are not raw. So for a person who want to be all raw, these foods would not be an option.

There are better cooked food choices to add to a high raw diet over these two foods. These include (from most healthy to least healthy):

Steamed vegetables.
Steamed grains
Legumes.

The tofu and rice noodles are not only cooked, but they are processed. This means you don't know what kind of chemicals are added to the foods. The tofu is fermented soybean. The rice noodles are made from rice flour.

That all being said, for a transitioning raw foodist, who is eating all raw and includes some tofu and rice noodles, this is a pretty decent diet smiling smiley.

Thanks a lot for all the responses, very informative, and I don't plan to include anyhing in my diet that is not raw, I have been doing raw for the last 35 days, I feel great and I have lost 18 pounds effortlessly. Thanks again.

Kristy,

Sea Tangles, a company in San Diego specializes in a raw kelp noodle that is pretty close after soaking to a bean thread or rice noodle. [www.kelpnoodles.com]. In place of tofu, if you want to stay high raw consider substituting mushroom, soaked & chopped portabella. It's not tofu. But will still provide the chewy consistency with the kelp noodles. If the kelp noodles don't look promising, then try julienned coconut noodles or zucchini. Hope this helps.

Paul
