Cereals for travel?

[Guest guest]

Two questions:

1) I travel for an organization (and privately) into areas where I

cannot eat NT prepared food. I guess all travelers find that!

Mostly into second and third world countries means, for me, being at

a little hotel somewhere, or with a family, and breakfast being daily

eggs and white bread and more eggs and white bread.... until I can't

stand the sight of another egg... or white bread! (The time spent

ordering in the hotel and waiting is also a bummer!)

The last few times I took some rice milk in small containers and some

FABULOUSSSSS organic spelt granola, sent to me by the head honcho at

Purity Foods (the neatest man on earth!) THAT was THE answer to all

my time and taste problems! (the family was not upset either.)

UNTIL I found out about NT and the thing about heat and cereals and

phytic acid not being neutralized and so on.... so NOW what I want to

know is whether anyone has some NT- correct suggestions? I thought

about taking some millet, amaranth and quinoa, and soaking it.... but

then how to cook it? ETC.

Can suggest a recipe to make a cereal-type thing that I can make at

home and take with me?

And what about the bread issue? I guess one just " does what one has

to do " , right? Just eat what is before you and come home and eat

healthily.... or..?

Also:

2) Can/Should one refrigerate the Ohsawa Shoyu - unpasteurized soy

sauce?

Thanks,

Lynne

Lynne,

Odd you should write about this. I was just researching how to create

dehydrated granola for my 5-yo son using sprouted grains, soaked oats, etc.

He’s been demanding cereal lately. It’s been over a year since he’s had any

and I sure wish he didn’t have such a good memory.

I’ve been staring at some “gorp” recipes thinking some of them wouldn’t be

too difficult to NTize – example are “Energy Balls” :1 cup chopped dates, ½

cup peanut butter (the glue), 1 ¾ cups chopped figs and 1 cup chopped

apricots. I’d probably use my own almond butter from soaked almonds.

Another recipe to change might be Tom Brokaw’s Granola Corp recipe – use

soaked oatmeal, spread it thin and dehydrate it, breaking into pieces then

adding soaked nuts, coconut, skip the wheat germ, and add some nice raw

honey and coconut oil for the “glue”?

I’m going to try to experiment with soaked oatmeal which is mixed with all

the goodies (nuts, dates, etc.) and then spread it or glop it thinly on

dehydrator sheets. Here’s one at a raw foods site which uses an oven, but

I’m thinking dehydrator could work for this also.

And yet another from a vegetarian website – wondering if the oats would

“soak” enough in the maple syrup liquid in order to be qualified for

“soaked”? Although supposedly this one dries out overnight in the fridge.

And last, but not least, Chet Day has one that is specifically for a

dehydrator AND calls for soaking all the seeds/nuts overnight AND uses a

dehydrator. I’m thinking of trying this one first:

If you made a variety of this kind of “finger food”, you could eat it with

local yogurt (maybe?) or soak it in milk like cereal? Trail-mix-type foods

are good for traveling. If you come up with something, please let me know?

As far as bread, are there any sourdough breads available to you while

traveling? I’ve made “crackers” in my dehydrator – taking the leftover

glop from juicing, adding flavorings, nuts, etc., and spreading very thin in

the dehydrator. I’ve never come up with a recipe – it’s all pretty much

whatever is on hand - a trick I picked up from a raw foodist. Maybe you

could make your crackers and bring them to replace bread?
