Pulse or Meal of Hercules Recipe?

[jane b]

I'm looking at the Pulse or Meal of Hercules ingredients, and they look very similar to what's in a Lara Bar.

Anyone have a recipe for the proportions of ingredients? I've got all the basic ingredients at home.

Thanks,

I don't know the recipe, but I do know that this pulse (http://www.consciouslifestyler.com/abundance/) or meal of hercules is 100% raw and all the seeds / grains have been germinated then sun dried so is all good for gluten unfriendly ppl like me.

this product containes barley, rye, and kamut, all gluten containing grains, so it is definitely NOT gluten free. Sorry, sprouting does not remove the gluten.

You, right, katchmoleen that these contain gluten-containing grains, however, as those of us who are very gluten sensitive can attest to, sprouted dehydrated foods don't seem to trigger the gluten intolerance in the same way, if at all! In fact, I can eat all sorts of dehydrated grain products that I absolutely cannot tolerate in their cooked states whatsoever. For all I know they _do_ trigger off the same problems on a molecular level, the beauty of it is that I absolutely can't feel _anything_. And I mean, _nothing_, no symptoms (doesn't mean there aren't any, I just don't feel any of them, if they exist). It's marvellous!

So though I can't eat cooked grains, I can eat sprouted and sprouted/dehydrated things like crackers very well.

The partially dehydrated items that aren't _completely_ dry are a different story altogether, however. What I can't withstand to any degree are any of the patties and nuggets, etc., that don't get dried till there's absolutely no moisture left. At the most, I can stomach the "off" smell/flavour of these items fresh off the dehydrator to a small degree, but even as early as 15-30 minute after finishing dehydrating and I'm starting to gag on them, never mind if they're any "older".

Just to give you an idea, one time a few years back I ignored the gagging reflex in desperation, since I didn't want to waste yet another dehydrating experiment, only to be vilely ill at work. I was just so grateful to be in a contract in an avionics department that had the back half of the workplace as a huge airplane hangar and that there was one woman's washroom back there near the planes so no-one could hear the retching over the planes being taxiied in and out! <lol> And I was violently sick _twice_ that afternoon!

The only dehydrated stuff I can handle are bone dry crackers that don't continue to "ferment" because no more water left - cause everything continues to ferment always to the bad degree of fermenting not the good kind because whenever I've come across moist dehydrated items in raw food potlucks, the festival last year or I've bought at the health food store, and I always carefully sneak a whiff, they all always have that indefinable "fermenty" smell without fail which even one tiny whiff of sets off my gag reflex <g>, it's just that you folks are lucky enough not to feel that I guess, since everyone eats dehydrated food a lot.

The only things besides bone-dry crackers that are eatable are wraps made predominantly from "acidic" fruits like tomatoes or even the combo of tomatoes/peppers of the Pepperama Wraps seem to be okay. What's so amazing to me and I'm so very grateful for is I can even eat these if they've been out of the fridge in my lunch bag at work all morning. No gag reflex from them (so far!) <g>. There must be something about tomatoes and peppers that is naturally resistant to bad fermentation, I guess since no matter how much lemon juice I've put in other wraps, nothing escapes the bad fermentation. I can't eat too many of these wraps for too many days in a row and I keep the rest in the freezer to be safe, but I can eat them! What a miracle these are <g>.

So gluten raw foods, no problem, but "moist" dehydrated foods, yes problem! <g>
