at what temp. for the bannas?:)

[Guest guest]

Ok...I admit it...I love dehydrated bananas...a

lot...almost as much as I used to love ciggarettes...I used to

get these dehydrated bananas from Trader

Joes...OMGB...they're so good. However, I recently realized that unless

I dehydrate them myself, there's no guarantee that

they weren't dehydrated at a high temperature (nothing

like the thought of cooked bananas to ruin my

cravings:)...So I did it, I broke down and bought a stupid

dehydrated....just for bananas...I have this thing about

simplicity...but that just went out the window. Now I need help, I

want my dehydrated bananas and eat them too...what is

the highest temperature that I can dehydrate them

without " killing them " ...also, do I store them in the

fridge or in the cupboard? How long do they last for?

<br><br> Thanks,<br> Mike<br><br>P.S. How could anyone

live without something sweet? Our bodies crave sugar

for a reason...and it's not just because we're all

addicted to processed sugar because of years of Apple

Jacks and Koolaid...it's because for millins of years

our ancestors at sweet things...from tropical fruits

and what not. Don't let anyone tell you that you

should comsume sweet things...(1) No one should " tell "

you what to do....and (2) they're not exactly

accurate... Just food for thought:)

Yes dehydrated bananas are dried at high

tempratures. They may even be called raw by manufacturers

because they have not been cooked (heated above boiling

point). I use my dehydrator at below 110 degrees, and

usualy keep it around 100 to be sure. <br><br>What you

say about sweets is true. Eating sweet fruit is

compleatly natural. Human breast milk is very sweet. However

we are not natural. We have been poluted by years of

unnatural cooked food, processed sugar, etc. Estimates run

as high as 250 million people in the US have

hypoglycemia. Thats almost everyone. I have hypoglycemia. I

crave dehydrated bananas, and anything sweet. The

differance is, That I CRAVE sweets. When I get them I am ok

for maybe an hour, then I CRAVE more. <br><br>When I

eat a large salad, my stomach is full, but I need

somthing sweet after. Hypoglycemia is caused by a pancreas

damaged by years of refined sugar abuse. More sugar, raw

or not, will not help. So I go for sweets like

citrus, even though they are sweet, the vitamin C stops

the craving. Some day I will be over this problem (it

is getting better) and I believe I will have a

natural taste for sugar.<br><br>Doug
