Happily home made dehydrated 100% nutrient-rich goodness
My raw food toolkit is now complete and my excuses not to be raw are running just as dry as the banana chip I created overnight. My Excalibur deluxe 9 tray dehydrator in white has arrived!!
In 12 hours at 37 degrees C, it successfully delivered a feast of dried strawberries, blueberries,raspberries, mango, pears and banana chips. It is super-easy to use and a real revolution, in my kitchen at least. I can’t contain myself from the joy of making my own dried fruit and more so in the knowledge that all the nutrients and precious enzymes are intact!!!
Raw food is still considered ‘raw’ even if it is heated or dehydrated under 40 degrees C or 104 degrees F. Anything over this temperature alters the food at a molecular level and therefore can cause damage to precious nutrients and enzymes, which means less for our bodies.
the only, the wonderful, the amazing, the raw life changing excalibur deluxe 9 tray in white
My breakfasts are lifted into a new dimension of colour and flavour and my afternoon snacks are a treat to behold and with the exception of James, who has a strawberry phobia, are the envy of the office…at least the healthier contingent…
Dehydrating goes a long way beyond dried fruit – for example my next exercise in dehydrating will be herb and linseed crackers…I’ll keep you posted…literally…
