:imanangel: Rinse partly due to the handling process, the harvested grapes are not washed and nowadays there is no sun dried but \"smoked\" dried after the grapes dipped in syrups. Main concern is the residual of pesticide la.

Wao! How do u roast nuts? Any seasonings required or just place them in the oven? Heh I'm looking for healthy snacks for myself

The best way to eat nuts with the most nutrients intact is to eat it raw but sprouted. To sprout, you can buy a dehydrator and warm the nuts below 47 degrees Celsius. Raw nuts are dormant and they have enzyme inhibitors to help them preserve themselves. To activate the enzyme is sprouting and these enzymes is good for body. If you use toasting over heat method using our normal kitchen utensils, it's quite hard to control the heat to be below 47 degrees.

All said, this is what I learned but never practise. Too troublesome lah. The dehydration process takes a few days. But I saw and ate sprouted seeds before, it has a very nice crisp and looks good. Can buy ready sprouted ones but expensive. You can try sprouted brown rice from ZenXin, it's quite affordable.

How about a banana chocolate milk for snack. Combine fresh milk, raw cacao powder, some pisang rajah, sugar (use coconut sugar or agave syrup for low GI) then add a dash of cinnamon. Blend all in a mixer. Serve chilled. Yum!

Aiyoh, Harlequin! Are you serious about using a dehydrator? Very troublesome you know. It takes several days as the temperature is maintain below 47 degrees to wake the enzyme in the seeds but not kill it.

Not sure if those appliance shop sells it but I know a raw foody has a company that sells it and it's quite ex. If you are still keen, then I pm you the company's name. Once, one of the coupon deal company was selling one around 100 plus, considered quite cheap.
