Most Used Preparation Methods for Making Raw Food Dish.
- Blending.
Juicing is a way to get the liquid (juice) out of a raw food especially fruit or vegetables. The fiber is taken out while the juice is left. With this method, you can get concentrated vitamins and minerals that are extremely easy for your body to absorb.
Three kind of juicers
Citrus juicers are the ones you use for lemons and oranges.
Centrifuge juicers work well for harder vegetables and fruits like, apple, carrots, ginger, cucumber, celery.
Slow juicers are the most expensive. They are used for grasses and green vegetables. They can also be used for carrots, cucumber and apples. Slow juicers give the best quality juice and nutrients, because of a gentler way to treat the produce.
- Dehydrating -
Dehydrating is a way to dry your food and take the water out. You can store your food in a plastic bag or air tight container once it is dehydrated. It is used to make a food crunchy and can also be used as an alternative to conventional baking. Foods should not be dehydrated in normal oven, so it would remain raw. Best way to dehydrate, is to sun dry the food or use a special dehydrator like (Excalibur).
Cutting -
With this method, you can cut your food with a cutter, sharp knifes, food processors or mandolin. Sharp knives are important when you want to slice your raw food yourself with the use of a cutting board. Hand Cutters are easy when you want to cut many nuts and onions. A food processor is important when you want to make a pesto, although not completely smooth. Mandolin are for fun and relatively inexpensive. This is because, you can make nice shapes like, potato shapes, very thin slices and ribs.
