Novice raw foodists can find it difficult to change their eating habits and stop cooking. Not everyone can immediately forget that in order to eat, you need to cut something, rub it, stand at the stove, stir, and so on. To make it easier for yourself to switch to a raw food diet, you can conjure and cook something that does not require heat treatment and at the same time does not differ much from the food that everyone else is used to.
Most raw foodists are fond of eating separately. In practice, this is something like this: fresh food is prepared for each meal, ideally if they have just been dug up or plucked from a tree, bush, garden bed. But raw foodists are also able to create real culinary masterpieces, which are made from natural products that have not been thermally processed.
What the raw food diet is built on
Eating raw foodists is possible with minimal heat treatment - for example, drying in the sun.
One of the most stringent conditions for raw foodists is to prepare them just before eating. It is not recommended to cook in reserve - it is enough to make as much as you can eat at a time. More nutrients are retained in fresh food.
For those who lack taste sensations, a variety of raw food meals can be prepared to help ease the transition from eating to mono-eating. So the taste buds will get pleasure, and the very sight of a beautifully cooked dish will bring pleasure.
For those with a sweet tooth, the simplest thing is to mix chopped nuts with honey and pieces of fruit, fresh or dried.
Delicious meals for a raw food menu
Usually, complex raw food meals are only needed by beginners to facilitate the transition to a different diet. But gradually they should get rid of the habit of cooking, switch to the “wash and eat” regime. But it happens when you want something not quite ordinary, and you should not deny the body at such moments, just prepare a special raw food dish.
For example, raw borscht is a healthy dish that can help ease the transition to new foods. To prepare it, you need to finely chop greens, onions, chop cabbage, beets and carrots, you can partially chop, partly - grind in a meat grinder. Everything is mixed, salt and water are added. The finished dish can be seasoned with lemon juice, olive oil.
Or prepare stuffed cabbage rolls for raw foodists - soak sunflower or linseed seeds for 10 hours, add nuts, chop everything. Chop the herbs finely. Add salt and oil, coriander. Lubricate each of the cabbage leaves with a mixture. For the filling, we also cut the products as small as possible or grind them in a blender. Lay out everything on cabbage leaves, the edges must be wrapped and pressed, fastened with wooden sticks. To spice up the dish, grind a few cloves of garlic, mix with olive oil, grease the cabbage rolls on top.
You can also prepare bread for raw foodists: it is made from any cereal. Wheat and rye are usually chosen. It differs from the usual one in that the bread is not baked, but dried - neither yeast nor baking powder is needed for it.
Flour is made from cereals and grains, mixed with water and vegetable oil. Finely chopped greens are added, after which the dough is kneaded. Separate layers or small loaves are formed from it. Next, the bread is dried in a dehydrator or oven for about 4-6 hours.
