Fermented raw food/ was raw vs. live food

[Guest guest]

I have made kimchi and have many other recipes for fermented foods that use

whey, mineral salt, and the vegetables (or fruits). These recipes do not call

for heating the raw foods at all, but keeping them at a warm room temp for 3

days, then refrigerating. This process preserves the food for many months...but

it usually gets eaten first ;-)

 

I may not be using this tastey food again if I keep eating only raw foods. The

fermented foods help to digest cooked food and meats and are a very healthful

addition to that kind of diet. I really don't think they are need with a

raw-only food diet.

or whatever they have to be heat processed then the fermentation starts.

Sure! And with further thought on your statement about the beans...I bet they DO

have to heat those in the fermentation process or at least to cook them first.

That may be different than the " raw " type of fermentation I'm talking about in

my kimchi recipes. The tempe type food sounds good, but I'm still debating on

using it as I am debating about any cooked grains. I've just begun the raw diet

and am trying to pretty much stay that way until I feel it healthy to add

anything else. (Well, not ready to give up my kefir drinks and feta cheese in

salads yet). Still learning and researching, though. BTW, nothing to prove by

being 100% raw, just trying to find the healthiest way :-)
