How Raw Food Cooking Works

Video Transcript

Rachel we were talking about what raw food really is. I know that you don't cook it over 118 degrees because you don't what the food to be dead. Can you elaborate a little bit. The only things we would consider like cooked item or applying heat are things that we dehydrate. We make certain crackers and flat bread in our dehydrator. We keep our dehydrator at 15 degrees and we really only use that like fr0or like crackers and couple of things that we want to change the texture of more. Because it is not really cooking it. It just kind of drying it out. Okay. What is raw food for people that don't know. Raw foods are foods that are not cooked over 118 degrees. Basically the idea is that all the enzymes in the food are preserved up to that temperature and after that, they start the nutrients and enzymes start dying off from the food and loses it vitality and its nutritional food value. Also you don't use flour. No bread, no eggs, no butter. Any grains that we use. We only use 1 grain here. That is buckwheat and that is because its not we sprout all of our grains and then we like put them in the food processor with other ingredients and we kind of like make a dough out of that . We spread it flat on a dehydrator shot and we dry it out and that is how we make our breads. The idea behind this is when you cook foods you make it dead; you deaden all the nutrients and the enzymes. Raw food is just filled with so much enzymes. When you eat it you automatically, you instantly feel really good, awake and alive. That's why people do it. You've lost 30 pounds. I did lose 30 pounds.
