some recipes and a question.

[biorobotics]

actually, i'll ask the question first.

is it possible to use a conventional oven to dehydrate foods?
i'm not 100% raw, so i've been using an oven to bake some things by setting it to 300 degrees, then turning it off, letting the food sit in the cooling oven for a few hours.
are there any other methods?
i have a convection oven, and the lowest possible temperature i can set it to is 170 degrees.

now for some recipes that i've been experimenting with, mostly in an attempt to use up a large amount of sprouts after i went a bit overboard with sprouting my own.

sunflower seed beet balls
-1 beet, grated
-1/2 cup sprouted sunflower seeds
-2 tbsps paprika
-1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
combine and dehydrate.

falafal balls
-2 cups sprouted lentils
-onion
-garlic
-coriander
-cumin
-fresh squeezed lemon juice/pulp
measurements are as desired.
combine.
dehydration is optional; it depends on how watery the mixture turns out.

sunflower seed pate
-1/2 cup sprouted sunflower seeds
-1/2 a red bell pepper
-1 clove of garlic
-a slice of onion
-2 tbsps nutritional yeast
blend to desired consistency.
i'm going to use the batch of this i made yesterday for nori roll filling; i am excited.

wait, another question!

how long will the above recipes keep in the fridge?
i've had sprouted sunflower seeds go moldy after a week or two, but balls and spreads last for a while longer.
i'd like some idea as to how quickly i should be using this stuff up.

thanks.
