YOu guys got to see these, I want to make them, its from this article, a good read too. [www.huffingtonpost.com]

Thanks for that! I was turned on to some new sites for raw foods. I tried to make raw eggplant "bacon" in the dehydrator. Blech! My man liked it but I was unimpressed. This might work...

I ate eggplant bacon at a raw vegan restaurant and was hooked. I bought an eggplant, but it got all wrinkly in my fridge. I was going to do it. I been so lazy lately. I am at the 8 month mark in my situation, one month to go, so I dont like getting out of this cozy chair for nothing. You soak the egglant in nama shoyu that is raw, braggs isnt raw anymore I just found out, they changed the whole process, huge mistake, people will find out, so maybe coconut aminos.

is name shoyu really raw?

Its raw enough or raw friendly. Coconut Aminos says its raw on the bottle.

When I google nama shoyu it says this

Keep your raw food diet free of cooked ingredients with this quick and simple recipe to replace the popular Nama Shoyu... So many raw food recipes use Nama Shoyu even though it isn't actually raw. In Japanese nama does mean raw. But the word isn't intended to indicate that the liquid has never been subjected to high heat, only that it hasn't been pasteurized. Alas, pure raw foodists, as well as those on gluten-free diet…

How raw is boiled water? I am sure we can go really far down the rabbit hole.I do not know.

Thanks, I will buy some and try it.

For flavor for that salty flavor.....( I was trained in every raw recipe you need to have balanced all the five tastes/flavors) There is good old fashioned pink salt. You can use that too. Is salt raw? LOl I do not know. Himalayan, Celtic..Its "raw salt" as its rawest but it is not alive or living.., then, the pink stuff and Nama Shoyu is definitely raw soy sauce, as raw as it gets I think...

What about coconut aminos, thats fairly new and I do not know much about it.

Those "fries" look like a fantastic snack! Will definitely be doing some of those up in the dehydrator this evening!

Eggplant for "bacon". Interesting. May have to pick one up at the store today and give it a try (just salted, no soy). I've also been thinking about ways I could possibly use sprouted lentils to make raw sausage patties (I used to make "lentil sausage" patties as a vegetarian) and use sprouted chickpeas and my tofu press to get an 'egg-like' texture for a raw "scramble" (peppers, onions, mushrooms) so that would be totally awesome to have a 'traditional' breakfast of 'bacon' 'eggs' and 'sausage'
