Dehydrator Giveaway!
The time has come to do our first giveaway and is it ever a good one! Many raw food recipes require a dehydrator and if you don’t have one, it can be challenging. One of the most common questions I get is how to prepare the raw food recipes without a dehydrator.
I hope to fix that problem for one of you!
The great folks over at TSM Dehydrators have donated a 300.00, 5 shelf, stainless Dehydrator, the D5! I couldn’t be happier to be able to offer this! I have one of these dehydrators. It is my favorite. It is quiet, sturdy, very easy to pull apart and clean and does a great job at temperature control. I have checked. Continue for the rules!
Here are the rules:
Enter by simply asking a question you have about raw food in the comment area.
Only one entry allowed per person.
Entries will close at 6pm on Thursday, March 18th, 2010.
Winner will be randomly selected and announced following the contest.
I will be answering your questions in upcoming blog posts!

I’m eating about 50% raw now and would like to know how eating raw affects those of us with diabeties and celiac ?? I think having a dehydrator would certainly increase my chances of NOT being bored with food menus.
I really enjoy your site. Thanks for all you do.

Hello Suzan,
First of all, congratz for the terrific job you do at maintaining this site, I’ve browsed through it and I must admit, I’m quite amazed at how good it looks ! (pictures & everything)
Now, My question is : How about legumes & other dried foods, is there really no way appart from using them in “flour” form, to cook them ?? Would soaking in a particular way make them usable ?
Thank you !

I’ve been drawn to raw foods philosophically for some time now. My question is about the digestability of eating raw. Is there some way to improve the digestability of a totally raw diet?
Thanks,
gnk

Can you give so me receipes for dehydrated veggies? Also, are there any raw vegan options for probiotics? I want to take someprobiotics but most of them have dairy or gluten (to which I have an allergy). Thank you!

I have Herpes Simplex 2 which I choose to control through my diet rather than through prescription drugs. This requires a careful Arginine/Lysine balance. L-Arginine is necessary to support cell regeneration, but will aggravate my symptoms. Lysine suppresses the growth of the virus by suppressing Arginine uptake.
With nuts and seeds being such a high component of a raw diet, how can I maintain this careful and very important balance while staying fully raw?

How did you find the raw food field and when are you going to publish a book of your recipes? And does this dehydrator work better than the Excaliber?

I am a new raw food enthusiast. I am eating about 50% raw now. Does the body go through a kind of a shock when changing to raw foods? In particular, the digestive system. My digestine seems to have gotten a little worse. I was wondering if it gets worse before it gets better, if it needs to regulate, or detox?
