Hot raw food, although it might sound like an oxymoron there are in fact a few ways to prepare a raw meal such that it is hot, or at least warm. Hot food can still be considered raw due to the fact that the enzymes in food don’t break down until food is heated beyond 115F. So if you are getting tired of raw smoothies and salads here is a great way to put some variety in your diet.
Method #1 Use a Food Dehydrator
A dehydrator is a device that works by using heat to pull the moisture out of food. It allows you to set the temperature so as long as you keep the temperature below 115F you will be able to produce tasty warm food. You can use raw dehydrators to make warm cracker or warm cookies. There are many food dehydrator recipes out there, just google “raw dehydrator recipes”.
Method #2 Use Hot Water to warm raw food
Another way to get a warm raw meal is by cooking using warm water. Heat water to less than 115F and combine with raw food to make wonderful raw soups. This is particularly nice when living in northern climates or 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, hot water and the stove are several great ways to expand you raw preparation repertoire. Enjoy using these methods to explore great new tastes.
