Raw vegans are generally 100% raw food eaters, but many consider any vegan with a diet comprised of at least 75% raw food to be raw vegan. Though the raw vegan diet may seem to be suppressive, it doesn't skimp on taste like one might presume. Raw food isn't only beneficial for humans to thrive and survive. Pet owners are getting hip to the fact that giving their dogs and cats heated food from a can, and table scraps might not be the best thing for them. Some of the basic appliances found in a raw kitchen are simply a knife and cutting board. Add a blender and/or food processor to the mix and you really open the doors to the raw delights that you can create. Keeping your oven at low temperatures may even allow you to get into the more advanced raw recipes, but in general, a food dehydrator is used for those foods that you want to 'dry up' a bit. Perhaps considered a necessity in the kitchen, raw or not, the blender is certainly considered a necessity for those who consume smoothies on a daily basis. Kitchen blenders simply blend items together, chopping the contents with a high speed, and hopefully sharp, blade. The contents are broken down, blended together into a smooth, sometimes liquid consistency. Smoothie blenders usually have the extra "smoothie" button for efficient blending. Most "raw" recipes need a blender (or perhaps a food processor) of some kind. We have setup a blog to showcase raw food items including appliances and supplements that are available online at cost. The items are generally only available at cost for just one month so act fast if you want to take advantage of the savings. Check out the raw food videos that we have created, had made for us, or that we have posted because we found them across the web and found them interesting. Some are entertaining, some are educational, some are both, but they are all raw food related in some fashion. If you enjoyed this article, make sure you subscribe to the RSS feed!
Raw Food Health
The anti-aging, weight loss, and skin care advantages to consuming a diet comprised mostly of raw foods have caused many individuals to adapt raw food diets at various levels, from moderate, to eating no foods cooked at a temperature above approximately 46 °C (115 °F).
Cooking food at high temperatures destroys beneficial enzymes and nutrients that promote health and well being as well as fight disease. Eating the right raw, uncooked foods provides more vitamins and nutrients to fuel the body with fewer calories and toxins, resulting in increased energy levels and decreased illness and disease.

Harmful Effects of Cooking Food
Raw food enthusiasts not only tout the superior nutritional quality of raw foods, but also point out the potential dangers in consuming cooked foods. Cooking foods at very high temperatures, including microwaving foods, can cause chemical reactions that produce toxins and reduce protein digestibility. These risks are in addition to reduced vitamin and nutrient content through cooking, making cooked food significantly less healthy than most raw foods.
