nut dehydrating

[Guest guest]

I may try this, Susie. I am just recalling that raw soybeans are very toxic (as

are some other types of beans) and so dehydrating alone many not be enough to

rid the toxin. I'll have to check into this further. I really love the idea

and there must be some way that commercial soy nut companies prepare them that

we can replicate.

It would be worth a try. You could soak them, put some spices on and then

dehydrate to try and get something with a little more flavor. I know there

are recipes out there that use sprouts with a seasoning and then

dehydrating for a crisp snack.

What about broiling them? It's the exact polar opposite of dehydrating,

but might get them crispier and it also might get rid of the toxin. Hmmm.

 

Now you've got ME thinking! LOL

 

I'm off to make stuffing and broccoli salad and see if I can frost the

pumpkin brownies/cake that I made earlier. Oh but first I need to clean

the kitchen from the last fiasco I made so I can do the above.
