In general, all food should be in a state as close to how it was grown as possible. That means, whole grains are still in a state that you can tell what grain they are (once it's ground into flour it's no longer recognizable). Try to get a variety of colors of food throughout the day. If you are doing the more intense detox diet let us know and we will e-mail you a few extra dietary items to remove before the retreat.
