When it says 3 large bunches of leafy greens, does it mean 3 separate bunches that you buy at the grocer bound together? I buy from Whole Foods and their bunches are pretty big as there are approximately 13 leaves per bunch. I know everyone uses different terminology :-) I am so excited! I drove 4 hours round trip today to a Whole Foods to buy stuff to make the snacks from chapter 7. I will be traveling in a week and can't take my BlendTec so I want to get some snacks made to take with me. This will also be the first time I have ever used my Excalibur. Thanks for your website and the 12 step! Hey I need help with the Green Pesto Recipe.

I use a lot of my dehydrated foods in other dishes, soups, stews, etc. I also have been dehydrating seasonal fruit when it is abundant and less expensive, then when fruits are less plentiful, I rehydrate them for my smoothies! Just like having fresh, and supposedly most of the nutritional value is like fresh. I have the Excalibur, 9 tray and absolutely love it! I never waste food anymore, when it is getting a bit older, but still good, I dehydrate it! Good luck! Jane – I also have some difficulty with “hard” foods, but I dehydrate almost everything!

I don't have a dehydrator - I think I must purchase one. I just eat really raw or blend stuff. I haven't even missed eating crackers and bread so I din't bother with a dehydrator. But some of these recipes read deliciously! So I'm going to give it a go. When feeling like I’m the only person in the world that eats raw it’s good to come here.

I only have 2 bottom molars left after radiotherapy 15 years ago-probably why I love green smoothies and my blender that can transform raw food ! Dried fruit apart from sultanas /raisins is hard to chew properly. I would love to try dehydrating but am worried about the hardness.

You can even see a photo of some stuff I grew last winter. Mary, helpful to have the teflex sheets and other accessories that go in dehydrators, but if the oven sets for BELOW 116 DEGREES, sure, try it!

I am going to purchase my Excaliber very soon, but my garden will probably be gone by then---oh well, I'll have it for next summer. BTW, Robyn, I bought some kale, spinach and collard green seeds today and want to plant them for my "winter" garden. How do you do your winter garden? Is there anything I need to know? I live here in Ut County, same as you, but I'am skeptical about growing anything at all in our winter climate. Thanks everyone for these fabulous and yummy-sounding veggie treats.
