Seeing as my worms were needing a break from feeding, when I made a new batch of juice, I tried to think of another thing to do with the leftovers. And I remembered my friend erin telling me a recipe for a fruit leather-y type thing. So here is my attempt:
I spooned some chia seeds into a small bowl with some water (about 2 tsp of chia with 1/4 cup water) and let it make it's gooey magic (technically, chia is mucilaginous, but you know, ooey gooey works too...) for about 5 minutes:
While the chia goo-ified itself, I spooned the leftovers of my apple, orange, beet and ginger juice onto a tray that I had lined with tin foil:
I then mixed the two together on the tray and flattened it out along the tray, pulling out any seeds or big chunks as I went.
I put in in the oven at the lowest heat (on my oven 200) for about 2.5 hours then left it sit in the oven as it cooled for another hour or two. I peeled the dried fruit off the tin foil an put it in a tupperware to store and munch on over the next few days:
They're somewhat of a cross between a fruit leather and a cracker. I think they would be pretty tasty with hummus or guacamole or maybe a yoghurt dip too. Yummy food made from "garbage bits"–fun!
