dehydrators

[Guest guest]

I used recipe found here:

http://www.smallfootprintfamily.com/2009/04/25/homemade-coconut-milk-yogurt/

I used the GI prohealth yogurt starter that I purchased online.

I also used coconut milk made from scratch.

Another way to make coconut that is fermented is with kefir grains. You don't

need a dehydrator to do that. Just water kefir grains and a vitamix.

You take the coconut pulp (I wait until I have meat from about 6 coconuts saved

in my freezer) and blend it up with coconut water in the vitamix until creamy.

Then add some live water kefir grains to the mix and let it sit overnight ( a

little goes a long way with the kefir grains so be careful, and leave a lot of

space in the mason jar so it doesn't blow the top when it expands).

The next morning, take the contents, and blend them up again and you can leave

it either plain or I like to add blueberries in and a tad of maple syrup. If

too thick, add a bit of coconut water to thin it out. I call this " yogurt " even

though its more accurate to say that its kefired coconut meat pudding. Also, it

does get very sour as it continues to ferment even in your fridge so best eaten

that day.

Enjoy!

tell me exactly how to do it? I have not made yogurt in many years.

I know dehydrators have been discussed in the past and as I recall Excalibur and

Nesco were thought of highly. I am looking at the following and would love to

hear any feed back on these or others.

Two of them are Excalibur, and the others are LeQuipe, and Nesco.

The excalibur is a good one... any dehydrator that has the fan that blows from the side instead of the bottom is a good one. if the motor is at the bottom you will need to rotate the trays, the ones at the bottom closer to the fan will get done before the top trays whereas if the motor/fan is on the side it blows thru all trays equally and evenly... hope that helpsPatti From: tmatuschak <pmatus@...> Sent: Friday, July 27, 2012 6:23 PM Subject: dehydrators
