APPLIANCES FOR RAW FOOD MAKING

If you are interested in eating a good portion of your diet raw, get yourself a juicer, a food dehydrator, and maybe a spiralizer. And probably a Vitamix blender, I don't have one of those yet, so I guess I'll write more on that when I get one.

Juicers:

Why juice? Because you can juice a mountain of fruits & vegetables & get all the nutrients out of them in a couple glasses of the juice. There’s no way you would eat all of those fruits & veggies & have room for anything eating else all the day. Your body can assimilate all the nutrients easily in juice form.
There’s a wide range of juicer prices. If you want to start off with something really affordable, just get a $30 one,  Superstore or London Drugs have them. They do a good enough job that you will realize how good the juice tastes. They do waste a lot though, the pulp is not that dry, so they don’t extract all of the juice.
I just bought an Omega & I am VERY happy with it. It extracts so much of the juice, I can tell that the juices I am drinking now are really filling. The Omega was around $350. It is easy to clean & will also juice wheat grass which the Champion will not.

This is where I bought my juicer from:

Food Dehydrators:

Food dehydrators are used to dry or warm foods without killing any enzymes like baking would do. I just have a really basic one, no blower or anything, so it does take a while, but everything turns out fine. I line my trays with parchment paper when I need liners (cut a whole out of the center & poke holes in it)
I use mine to make raw crackers, raw cookies, mushroom burgers, and dog biscuits.

Spiralizers:

I searched everywhere for one of these. Finally got one online.

I got a Spirooli, which works really well. It shreds vegetables into long spirally noodle shapes, but also has 2 other blades for other shapes. According to customer reviews online I think some brands of spiralizers don't work too well.

You can spiralize zucchini for making great pasta. And I've done carrots & beets for salads. Spiralized carrots are great to pile on a dish when you make rice wraps, then they don't stick to the plate.
