• try buying horse feed oat groats. some folks tried this from the local feed store, and found that the oats were raw (they sprouted!) if you have a vitamix or blendtec you can make raw tahini

• Get the vitamix before the dehydrator. In many cases, you need the high speed blender in order to prepare some of the dehydrator treats! (like fruit rolls etc). I didn’t use my dehydrator much until recently, once I was 1.5 years into eating some ra…
