You will probably need 3-5 kg of food per day, maybe more. It can be
expensive.

Something like this, more or less, you might have to experiment and
see how you feel:

20-25% nuts/seeds/olive/virgin olive oil/avocado, including flax or flax oil
and limiting omega6 fatty acids
10-20% leaves
10-20% nonsweet fruit and other "vegetables" including mushrooms
20-40% sweet fruit, some can go higher with this
0-20% legumes, probably best sprouted, lightly cooked
0-10% other

+ reliable B12 supplement (mandatory)
+ D supplement (optional, depending on exposure)
+ long-chain omega3 supplement (optional)

I'm also curious to know which vegetables are

Some of the carotenoids are considered to be best
assimilated when cooked (beta carotene in green and
orange vegetables and lycopene in tomatoes), although
this is somewhat debatable because cooking turns the
trans isomers into cis, which are less bioactive.

Grains and legumes are on the whole best cooked because
when raw they generally contain antinutrients that are
deactivated on cooking. Soaking and sprouting helps.

With vegetables, they are more digestible when cooked
because cooking breaks down the fiber matrix, but it
also destroys the protective phytochemicals.
