• On gliving.com they had a huge discussion on this very topic. It said that purple means-young, white-not as young, gray-a little older. Sometimes they’ll even look a little pink inside. I agree with Zoe, smell first, then try the water, if the water…

• Here’s what I’ve read in various places: NUTS: Soak nuts, dehydrate at a low temp (as humanimal wrote) and then keep in the freezer in freezer bags…keeps up to 1 year. I do this immediately after buying nuts and seeds…they are super crunchy and live…

• I refrigerate both the Nama Shoyu and Tamari once they are opened. I know the Tamari says to refrigerate for sure. Great leap you’ve made in buying a dehydrator :)! Onion flax seed crackers are terrific! :) And so are coconut macaroons from the book…
