Techniques
Instead of frying, baking, or otherwise heating, raw food lovers focus on
- sprouting
- soaking nuts and dried fruit
- dehydrating
- juicing fruits and vegetables
- and our favorite, blending
Essential Kitchen Tools
Cutting Board - bamboo are the best, both natural and sustainable.
Knives - sharp ones
Dehydrator – blows warm air through raw food at temps less than 116 degrees F. You can make your own dried apple or banana chips, raw cereals, even raw bread!
Juice extractor – juices fruits and vegetables (and removes the pulp)
Blender – (our favorite) a powerful, high speed blender, is your most versatile and useful kitchen appliance. A quality blender (like Vitamix) can be your blender, juicer, and food processor in one!
Non-Essential, But Fun Tools
Spiralizer - turns veggies into “noodles”
Mandoline Slicer
Citrus Juicer
Whisk
Julienne Peeler
