Re: dried fruit and veggies

Donna,

Dried fruits and veggies are usually not cooked before drying, which is one

reason they aren't recommended. The other is that all the water has been taken

out, so you're really getting a concentrated food.

dried fruit and veggies

I was told that dried fruit and veggies were not to be used until later

in the diet. Can someone tell me what the rule on this is and why.

would it be safe to say that if i could dehydrate cooked veggies and

make a crunchy chip or cracker that i could introduce it assuming he

has eaten those same foods previously? i am thinking of cooked

spinach and almond butter dehydrated into a cracker or cooked carrots

and OJ dehyrated into a cracker.

Donna,

I've only been online sporadically in the last several days (had Lasik surgery

on Tuesday!).... but did you get an answer to this post? I think there is a

zucchini cracker recipe that came from Marilyn. I've never made them..... but I

think it's along the lines of what you're thinking. I don't know where the

recipe is stored..... but maybe someone has it saved. Anyway, yes, I think it

would be okay..... if your child is not a total brand-new beginner ...... and

the food was tolerated in it's regular cooked form.

thanks patti

i will have to look for marilyn's zucchini cracker recipe. most of

the cracker recipes i found had dairy in it and i was looking for an

option without.

i made a spinach, garlic, ghee and almond flour recipe in the oven

that was really good. of course i dont know where i got that one

from. and i cooked carrots in OJ and pureed them and dried it in the

dehydrator. i think it would be crispier if i added some ghee next

time.

hope you are feeling better.
