Food tips

Try Eating Raw Food : Raw food can help you detoxify, cleanse and revitalize your mind, body and spirit. Raw and Living Foods contain enzymes. In general, the act of heating food over 116 degrees F destroys enzymes in food. (Enzymes start to degrade in as little as 106 degrees F). All cooked food is devoid of enzymes, furthermore cooking food changes the molecular structure of the food and renders it toxic. Living and raw foods also have enormously higher nutrient values than the foods that have been cooked.

Ingredients And Procedures

2 1/4 c Durum flour

1/2 ts Sea salt

1 tb Canola oil

2/3 c -Very warm water

Combine flours and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix in oil and water to form a stiff dough, adding more water if necessary. Remove dough from bowl and knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes. Return dough to bowl, cover with a towel and set aside in a warm place for one hour. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 14 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball and cover with a damp towel. Heat an ungreased griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. Working with one ball of dough at a time, flatten it, then roll into a 6" circle, using only enough flour to keep dough from sticking. When griddle is hot, pick up dough, shake off excess flour and place it on a hot pan. Cook until brown spots appear, about one minute. Flip dough over and cook on other side. (Chapati may puff up while cooking.) Cover and place in a warm oven while cooking remaining chapatis. Per chapati: 64 cal, 2 g prot, 81 mg sod, 14 g carb, 0.3 g fat, 0 mg chol, 18 mg calcium

HINTS: Substitute durum flour with 1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour and 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour. Spread with margarine or butter after cooking to maintain moistness. Source: Vegetarian Gourmet, Autumn 1993 Typed for you by Karen Mintzias
