raw bruchetta toast; was: Dinner last night...

[Guest guest]

Gods Megan, that sounds delicious.

Okay, now for a question...

how do raw cafes make toast? i mean

if it is toasted it isn't raw anymore, right?

i confess my ignorance on raw cuisine,

but am so curious. i wish we had a raw

cafe here so i could try some of that food.

toast is just what they call it because it sounds way better than bruchetta

bread. :-D the way I understand it, is that raw (essene-style) bread is made

from sprouted grains, (wheat, rye, etc.) that are chopped processed ina food

processor depending on the recipe you use, formed into thin layers and

dehydrated in a food dehydrator for several hours.

 

people vary on the exact definition of raw foods. some think of raw foods as a

vegan-only diet. others take that to mean all foods in raw form, including raw

meat. but the general consensus is that the whole point of raw foods is to

preserve the living enzymes of different plant products. for grains, legumes, &

nuts, this is activated by sprouting. anything cooked above 140 degrees

fahrenheit, the enzymes are killed off. dehydrators operate at lower than 140

degrees. that's why it takes so long to dehydrate something. and that's why

breads & crackers & fruits and veggies dehydrated are still considered " living

foods " because they're cooked at such a low temperature as not to destroy the

beneficial enzymes.

 

this is one of the best sites out there for exploring a raw-food diet:

My favorite information/recipe book for raw-living foods is " vibrant living " .

cant' remember the authors right off the bat though.

 

i think vegsource.com also has a bulletin board focusing on raw foods.

Okay, that makes sense...very interesting. Thanks!

Also thanks for the links and other raw food info.

 

Anyone want to move to Oregon and open a raw

cafe so i can try the food without having to get a

dehydrator & spouting everything? *lol*
