• hi there. i can’t read the last part of your question due to some crazy layout problem… but i think you’re asking if oat groats are raw? to my knowledge the groats are. i’ve never been able to find them. buckwheat groats are abounding at my health f…

• i do slices, rather than halves. it takes less time. you can start them out for 3 hrs at 145 degrees and then take the temp down to 115. gabriel cousens swears the inside temp doesn’t go up to 145 in the first 3 hrs. caleb—clearly if you buy from a …

• you can “fake” sun dry your tomatoes by putting them in the dehydrator in slices. i like to “half” dehydrate them so they just get tender and “cooked.” they have the sweetest flavor. anything you buy in a jar has been pasteurized, and the sealing pr…

• yeah, i didn’t mean to overdo it. i just meant, when you DO exercise, it’s good to sweat. i do 1 hour 15 minutes yoga a day which gets me dripping wet… i can’t live without it. it stretches, strengthens, and it’s FUN! when it’s fun, it becomes its o…
