Amber says of this recipe, "Between my garden and the farmers’ market, I rarely have to go to the supermarket in summer. Vegetables can be turned into crisp crackers, pizza crusts, and tostadas. Topped with plump, freshly picked tomatoes, buttery avocados, spicy jalapeños, and a burst of corn from the cob, you’ve got a gourmet meal fit for serving company. I use my Excalibur dehydrator frequently in summer to save extra produce from spoiling. This way, I can enjoy the harvest well into fall and winter. These easy tostadas will keep several months when stored in an airtight container. Choose the highest quality produce for this recipe, which is ideally made in summer when the best tomatoes and corn are in season. You can also make this more or less spicy by adjusting the amount of jalapeño."

Let Sayward of Bonzai Aphrodite illuminate the mysterious process of making your very own green powder! It is easier then you might imagine and can be an awesome idea for those of us with gardens which have a tendency of producing an abundance of certain vegetables at certain times. How can one ever utilize all that abundance at once? Well, one option is to dehydrate those yummy greens at a low temperature to preserve their vital nutrients, and then grind into a fine powder. Add this to smoothies, soups, or juices all year long for a serious green power nutritional boost.

The creation of this recipe by Young and Raw was inspired by a trip to Jeremy Safrons farm in Haiku where he had made raw bread with fresh tumeric from his land.

This recipe is great because it combines the healing benefits of tumeric with a versatile raw, gluten free bread that can be used to make a hearty sandwich!
