Tools for Your Raw Food Kitchen
You may think that switching to an all raw food diet will require you to purchase all new equipment for your kitchen. Truth is, most of what you need is probably under your cupboard and only get pulled out now to make frozen daiquiris!
The only two tools essential to the raw food kitchen are a blender and a food processor. These will allow you to make about 90% of most raw food recipes.
Some other tools that will make your prep go faster are:
- peeler
- citrus juicer
- spiral slicer
- mandolin slicer
- vegetable juicer
- wire whisk
- wood cutting boards
- ice cream maker
You can easily find these product in a large supermarket or Whole Foods. Without a doubt you will find them at Bed, Bath, and Beyond or online. When choosing appliance and tools, don’t go for the cheapest. You know the saying “you get what you pay for?” This is very true with kitchen tools. Opt for the more expensive version of the food processor and high speed blender and they will serve you well for many years.
