clean foods
Whole, natural ingredients
Clean foods is a wellness and diet term for foods considered natural, unprocessed, or free from artificial ingredients.
The concept varies by who's using it—some emphasize whole foods and minimal processing, others focus on organic sourcing or avoiding specific additives.
I'm trying to eat clean foods and cut out the processed stuff.
The term reflects contemporary anxieties about industrial food production, though "clean" implies a moral dimension that nutrition science doesn't support.
