You can enjoy warm raw vegan recipes by heating food to 120°F / 45°C, which preserves its nutrients and life force. This video explores how to stay healthy and warm with raw food during the colder months. As the winter months approach, many people in the northern hemisphere face a common dilemma: how to maintain a healthy diet while craving comfort food to stay warm. Unfortunately, the comfort foods often chosen are typically refined carbohydrates that provide temporary satisfaction but lead to health issues in the long run. This video explores how raw food can be enjoyed warm, debunking the myth that raw food must be cold, and offering practical tips and recipes to stay healthy during the winter. A prevalent misconception is that raw food means cold food. However, this is not the case. Raw food can be heated to a maximum temperature of 120°F / 45°C without losing its vital nutrients and enzymes. This temperature is significant because it is the highest temperature at which the life force of the food remains intact. For instance, if an apple falls from a tree and is warmed by the sun to 120°F / 45°C, it can still germinate and grow into a new apple tree. In contrast, cooking food at higher temperatures, such as 350°F, destroys its life force, making it less nutritious. The Importance of Temperature in Cooking When discussing food temperatures, it is essential to understand how heat affects the food we consume. Normal high-heat cooking methods can kill enzymes and vitamins that are crucial for health. Foods heated to 120°F / 45°C on the outside may still retain a temperature of around 115°F on the inside, preserving their vitality. To put this into perspective, consider the temperature of food served at restaurants. When you receive a hot dish, it often cools down to around 120°F before it is safe to eat. This is the ideal temperature for enjoying warm raw food. How to Achieve the Perfect Temperature To warm your raw food to the desired temperature, a dehydrator is an excellent tool. You can set it to 120°F / 45°C, but it is important to note that the actual temperature inside the dehydrator may vary. Many dehydrators do not accurately reflect the temperature setting, so using a laser thermometer to check the food's temperature is advisable. If the dehydrator is set to 120°F, the food may only be around 104°F. If the dehydrator is not reaching the desired temperature, consider setting it slightly higher, around 140°F, and check the food's temperature again. Remember that the outside of the food may be warm while the inside remains cold. Ensure that both the exterior and interior reach a comfortable temperature before serving. Delicious Warm Raw Vegan Recipes for Winter There are numerous ways to enjoy warm raw food during the winter months. Here are some ideas: Soups, Hot Herbal teas can be a great way to warm up from the inside. Experiment with different herbs and spices to find your favorite blend.
