Preparation
Step 1
In a high-speed blender, combine the pine nuts and Rejuvelac and process until the mixture is thick and creamy. Pour into a small bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let stand in a warm place for 12 to 14 hours, or until the mixture smells like it has begun to ferment. It will have a yeasty odor.
Step 2
Stir in the salt and yeast, mixing carefully. Using an offset spatula, spread the pine nut mixture in a 1/8-inch-thick layer on nonstick drying sheets. Place on dehydrator shelves and dehydrate at 105°F for 10 to 14 hours, or until it breaks easily into dime-sized flakes. Use immediately, or transfer to a covered container and store in the refrigerator for up to several weeks.
