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 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

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

The lowest heat setting on your stove is another method that can be used to make a raw meal. If you can stick a finger in the food while cooking it is not too hot to disqualify it from being raw. Some people also use thermometers. This method is an excellent way to prepare 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.
