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!

How does dehydrating affect the nutritional quality of raw foods?

I’m curious…where does tea fit into a raw food diet? The health benefits of tea have been shown over and over, but I’m thinking that brewing tea probably equates to “cooking” it, and that the leaves might already be cooked in the drying process anyway. Can you drink any tea on a 100% raw diet? Thanks!

I have seen (dehydrated) recipes using raw potatoes, what is your stance on using potatoes in a raw food diet?

Thanks for all the work you put into this site…it’s beautiful AND truly helpful. Kind of rare to have both!
My question is about sprouting/soaking. (Is there a difference?) Some say to leave your soaking nuts/seeds/beans out on the counter, while others say put them in the refrigerator. Is either OK? Safe?

There are a lot of great sounding raw recipes that call for fresh young Thai coconuts. I don’t have easy access to fresh coconuts, and have to miss out on all those delicious sounding dishes. I would love to know if organic dried coconut can be used in place of fresh, and if so, how much dried coconut would equal the amount of fresh that the recipe calls for. And would it have to be re-hydrated first? Been trying to find the answer to these questions for quite awhile, to no avail.
This is a great contest, and what a wonderful prize!

Does the amount of food placed in a dehydrator affect the timing? Another words if you put in less…does it get done faster? If I have never eaten a product before I am not sure what the consistency is really suppose to be.
Thank you for offering this dehydrator for a contest and thanks to the company!!

I have been eating raw fit almost 2 months now and feel incredible! My preparation of all my meals are definitely changing from easy to hard and would love to use a dehydrator. My question is… How well does dehydrating foods maintain their nutritional integrity?

I would love to win a dehydrator! Is it best to go raw all at once, or little by little, and how raw do you have to be to be considered raw? (what percent) Can we consider that one run on question.
