• You made me remember reading this about the vitamix (oh, I want one!) but I think it should apply to most blending. Hope it helps! The following was taken from: http://community.vitamix.com/service/displayDiscussionThreads.kickAction?as=22442&w…

• Kale chips sound good! I have lettuce/spinach pulp left from juicing this morning that I was going to make into something but I'm not sure what it will end up being. Anyone have a good suggestion? SV3 - how do you make your kale chips?

• Myrtlebeach8369 - I purchased the Excalibur 9-tray system and love it. The large size is great, especially when seasonal fruits like cherries drop in price. I also appreciate their design of having the fan in the back. I've dehydrated several items …

• I'm glad to hear you liked your chips! Mine ended up various sizes based on how they fed into the food processor - gravity fall vs. being pushed with the plunger. I would say an eighth of an inch was around average, although the thinnest slivers end…

• I started at 125* for 9 hours. Then I dropped the temp down to 115* and they dried around 7 hours more. I think they were in a little long (I was sleeping) but that didn't seem to hurt them. Unfortunately the book that came with the dehydrator didn'…

• Pundee - the banana chips did not brown much at all. There was a slight browning in the center of each chip but it looked perfectly natural and did not in any way discourage consumption!! They really were wonderful and you get so many chips from eac…

• I had 4 bananas that were too ripe/spotted for my taste. I used my food processor to slice them evenly and placed them into layers using several dehydrator trays. After maybe 12 hrs at 120 they were fantastic! I've had store-bought dried bananas and…

• I've had eczema for years and have finally found relief using food grade diatomaceous earth. I take one and a half tablespoons each day (in ~1/2 cup water) and it keeps my eczema from flaring up; my eczema actually returns if I stop taking it. It ho…

• When doing 80/10/10 do you bother with food combining? I typically keep fruit away from everything else so I'm curious to know how this is handled. Thanks!

• Thanks joanna and swayze. I do eat avocados - at least 1/week. I also have a nut day maybe 1 day per week. It figures though because I ate a nut cheese with my salad last night plus a handful of raw cashews, pistachios, and almonds! It was wonderful…

• Hi rawspice! There's already lots of great advice here so I'm going to try to keep this short. I think you should read The Raw Food Detox by Natalia Rose. It was my first raw book and helped me tremendously. Plus, it's inexpensive and qualifies for …

• Lux - I do still have "symptoms" but can't say it's due to my food choices anymore - mainly some acne (could be cyclical) and some joint pain (primarily my hips!). I had severe symptoms when I started... I'm still drinking at least my 60 ounces a da…

• I've been using DE since sometime in August and it has completely taken control of my eczema and reduced the pain I used to feel in my joints. I've taken about 1 1/2 tablespoons each morning. To satisfy the skeptic in me, I'll "quit" every once in a…
