Low-fat Dehydrated Bread (not technically purely raw)*

Juice carrots, sweet potato, eggplant, and head of cilantro (other greens like parsley and kale are great too) in between* eggplant pieces.  


*Tip - Juicing green veg in between fruit (eggplant is a fruit) will help it to go through 
the juicer more efficiently.   

Optional - raw black olives (this will add overt fat - check cronometer.com)



DIRECTIONS: Take pulp out of juicer and put into food processor.  Add diced tomatoes (without seeds), green onions and herbs like rosemary and garlic and blend everything together.  Spread on a baking dish and bake in oven at 110 for about 4 hours and flip and then 4 hours on other side.  Check often to see when done.

*If you want it to be fully raw and still dehydrated, put out in mesh clothes bag on a flat plate and hang from clothesline on a sunny, dry day.  May take more than one day of sun.

1 white radish (sometimes called daikon or Chinese white radish)
1/8 cup lemon juice

1/8 cup orange juice

1/2 teaspoon freshly grated turmeric
