Re: Raw Food Book-now dehydrators, pineapple

[Guest guest]

I also have an Excalibur dehydrator, which I love, but I more often use my

Nesco, which is smaller, inexpensive, and works a charm. I offer it for sale on

my website at

http://mealmasters.webs.com/apps/webstore/ I make fresh rice crackers every

day by grinding rice flour in my Vitamix-there is a video on the link above. As

Lea Ann said, if you have the Vitamix, a good dehydrator and Rene's book, you

have nutrition NAILED! The Excalibur is a wonderful investment, but the Nesco

is a wonderful starter unit, or for anyone who is just doing smaller batches-it

still does a LOT of food, but takes up much less space...and is quieter. As for

the reason pineapple gets so crispy, seems I read somewhere that the natural

enzyme that it contains (bromelian-great for digestion) dehydrates the natural

sugars in it where it becomes so crispy. Not sure where I read it, but will see

if I can find the info.

Thanks for your answers, I appreciate it. I have a nesco but have never tried anything in it yet. I will have to check into recipes to get started. I love kale chips, but have a hard time finding kale in my area. I also love pineapple, in any form. Thanks again, TrishSent from my iPadOn Feb 25, 2012, at 7:52 PM, "" <berrywell@...> wrote:
