Raw Vegan Recipes - 3 Ways to Enjoy Warm Raw Food

By Alistair Bedingford

The concept of a hot raw meal is counter intuitive, how can a meal be hot and yet be considered raw. Hot raw meals are possible because of how raw food is defined. Most definitions of raw food state that food is considered raw as long as it is not heated above 115F, the reason for this that enzymes found in food, breakdown at 115F. Here are some methods to enjoy a warm raw meal.

Method #1 Raw Food Dehydrator

A food dehydrator is one of the most common methods to achieve a warm cooked taste in raw food. It works by using low heat to extract water out of food. To ensure that enzymes are not destroyed, be sure to keep the temperature setting on your dehydrator to under 115F. Using a dehydrator you can make raw crackers and even raw cookies.There are many great raw dehydrator recipes out there.

Method #2 Use Hot Water to warm raw food

Warm water is another method that is used to produce warm raw meals. Simply combine warm water with veggies to make raw soups. Just make sure that the water is under 115F, this especially great during the winter or a on a cold day.

Method #3 Use a Stove to Heat Raw Food

Another way to make a warm raw meal is by using the lowest setting on the stove. A good way to make sure that the food being heated is not too hot is by sticking a finger in it, if you can stick a finger in it is probably under 115F. Some people prefer to use a thermometer to ensure that the temperature stays under the 115F threshold. The stove is a great way to prepare a warm veggie chili.

The dehydrator, warm water and low heat on the stove are three great ways to expand your raw food cooking. Enjoy using these methods to explore new tasty warm meal recipes. - 17269
