I’ve tried Goji Berries only once because they are quite expensive and difficult to find, but I loved them! I am thinking about substituting it with cranberries =D

Thanks so much, Marty! I just made a batch of cinnamon raisin cookies that are so good I am having trouble waiting for them to come out of the dehydrator!

Hi Susan: Thanks for the great post. I wanted to comment on storage of the oats. Since they are not heated and have no other preservatives they can get rancid over time due to the high oil content in the germ. It won’t hurt you but can give an off taste. We recommend storing them in the freezer if they’re not used in a couple of weeks. We’ve kept ours out longer and they’ve been fine but to be on the safe size the freezer is best.

I am sure it is as with everything. They can be stored but over time, I would assume there would be some loss. But, if you actually buy the grinder and do them yourself, you can just get the organic groats and make them really fresh!!

Hi Susan,
Love your blog! I stop in every now and then to peek in.
I am 100% raw.
I’ve been interested in raw oats also. Can these raw oats be stored
in fridge? Freezer? and still maintain nutrional value?
Thank you.
Fran

It is fine. It is not dehydrated yet and the moisture is causing that. Just continue to dehydrate.

I am making the onion flatbread. When I turned it over to peel off the teflex, it was white on that side. What’s up with that?
