Can you warm your raw soup in a microwave or stove without killing the enzymes? Is lukewarm about right or could you go a little warmer? Re: Warming soup

Date: August 20, 2010 12:16AM I would definitely stay away from any microwave use at all. I have seen reports that enzymes start to be destroyed at 110 and are pretty much gone at 118 degrees.
Some folks make raw soups with their hi speed blenders. If I felt the need to eat warmed foods, i suppose I would use my blender. Re: Warming soup

Date: August 20, 2010 03:08PM You don't need a thermometer, so long as you can comfortably hold a finger in the liquid for a bit it's not too hot. If it's not cooking you, it's not cooking the soup either  .Re: Warming soup

Date: August 20, 2010 11:17PM hmmm, well, at least for me, that takes place far past 108-115... My comment was based on the assumption punkrotten wants to stick to what is generally considered "raw" if not, then might as well heat it as hot as one is comfortable with... I guess that means most of the soups Ive ever made have been raw, as most soups I don't heat them up beyond a comfortable eating temp...doesn't cook me  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, mirror in the sky What is love?

Date: August 23, 2010 03:53AM This article about the dangers of the microwave said that the Russians had found that:
[www.halexandria.org] "+ Extremely short exposure of raw, cooked or frozen vegetables converted their plant alkaloids into carcinogens." Re: Warming soup

Date: August 25, 2010 02:33AM I'd put it in a dehydrator at 105 degrees F for 2 hours. Nice & warm, no harm no foul.

Date: September 10, 2010 11:14PM I definitely would not use a microwave. Microwaves actually restructure the molecules and your body doesn't recognize it as food. What a waste of raw food!
If you are very careful you can heat on the stove top on warm. A good measure is to test if it is baby body warm. Mothers have done this for years. Baby bottle warms is 98 degrees. Also, some blenders will heat the soup. peace be with you, Rose Lee Calabro [www.livingintheraw.net] Re: Warming soup

Date: October 04, 2010 04:53PM while the enzyme theory is pretty much bankrupt now, if you still want to ensure the enzymes are not killed, a dehydrator is the right way to go under 110 as I said in my August post. If you don't have the "Becoming Raw" book from Davis & Melina, suggest you buy or borrow it. Enzymes are bunk. Best.

Date: October 06, 2010 10:32PM BW,
First, apologies. My statements were a little overemphasized. But to answer your question, there are many reasons people go raw other than enzymes: 1) preservation of nutrients destroyed by cooking, 2) avoidance of toxins created by cooking (e.g. AGEs), 3) lower glycemic response, 4) lower carbon footprint among others. I think rather than my saying the enzyme theory is bunk which was inappropriate, I would recommend reading Davis & Melina's book "Becoming Raw: The Essential Guide to Raw Vegan Diets" Chapter 10, "The Great Enzyme Controversy" pp 207-224. They present their findings in a very clear manner. Best. Paul Re: Warming soup
