Raw – Day 5
The raw diet uses a lot of fresh produce as it’s mostly fruit and veg. Nuts and seeds feature heavily, and grains and legumes can be used too. They aren’t cooked, but soaked and sprouted to make them digestible. I haven’t used those in my recipes as I don’t love the raw taste or texture and they are higher in carbs.
You do need some special equipment unless you’re happy eating mostly salads. In these recipes I’ve used commercial grade equipment including a high speed blender (Vitamix), a juicer (Champion), a dehydrator (Excalibur). Standard domestic kit includes a food processor, grinder, ice cream maker and a spiralizer.
Pictured are raw cashew caramels made with just a few ingredients. Cashews (thanks Marjolijn for turning them into butter), coconut oil, sweetener and vanilla extract.
