Sirovo veganstvo jeste ishrana koja kombinira koncepte veganstva i sirovojedstva. Izbacuje svu hranu i proizvode životinjskog porijekla, kao i hranu kuhanu na temperaturu iznad 48 °C.[1] Sirova veganska ishrana uključuje svo sirovo povrće i voće, sjemenke i orašaste plodove, zrna i mahunarke, biljna ulja, morsko povrće, biljke, gljive i svježe sokove. Postoji dosta različitih verzija ove ishrane, uključujući furtarijanstvo, dijetu na soku i sprutarijanstvo.
U dodatku sa etikom o konzumaciji mesa, mrsa, jaja i meda, sirovi vegani mogu biti motivirani zdravstvenim, duhovnim, finansijskim ili okolišnim razlozima, ili bilo kojom kombinacijom navedenih.
U zdravstvenom smislu, sirovovegani smatraju da kuhanje hrane uništava kompleksnu ravnotežu mikronutrijenata. Također vjeruju da se, tokom kuhanja, proizvode opasne hemikalije zbog interkacije toplote sa masnoćom, bjelančevinama i ugljikohidratima poput AGE-a.[2] i ostalih.

Tropical Rain Forest Ecosystems: Biogeographical and Ecological Studies, str. 611 "Important food plants, such as sago-producing palms, fruit-producing trees and medicinal plants were purposefully aggregated and tended in convenient places. Eventually, the forest garden, a kind of Garden of Eden, emerged. These jungle gardens on good soils of easy access required little maintenance and hardly any hard work."
