3 Ways to Heat Raw Vegan 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 Use a Food Dehydrator

Using a raw dehydrator is by far the best way to cook hot raw food. A raw food dehydrator is a device that uses very low heat to pull the water out of food so the trick is to keep the temperature under 115F. There are lots of great raw dehydrator recipes out there such as recipes for hot raw crackers and raw cookies.

Method #2 Use Warm Water to Heat 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 Heat raw food on a Stove

Another method for preparing a warm raw dish is to use the stove. The trick here is to slowly heat by keeping heat setting on low. As long as you can stick a finger in the dish it is not too hot to kill the enzymes. If you want to be more precise however, you can use a thermometer. This method is great for making delicious warm raw chili.

The dehydrator, cooking with warm water and low heat on the stove are three great ways to have warm raw dishes. These three methods will expand your raw culinary choices and give you lots of fun trying tasty new raw food combinations. - 17273
