Hi Tom, Generally, raw foodists think the max temperature to keep food "raw" is about 115 to 120 F. We have a bit more information on this topic here: http://www.dehydratorreview.net/articles/raw-foods-and-food-dehydrators

I'm making this now and the consistency is like marzipan or paste, not a sauce. Did you put some of the tomato water in? How much?

where do you buy the yeast for the kale chips

I added a resource to the recipe for Nutritional Yeast. You can usually get it at your local grocery store too. Lisa

This was my first time making kale chips and they were delicious! About adding the water from the tomatoes, i did add it little by little until the consistency more or less matched the picture. Mine was a little thinner i think. I figure it doesnt really matter as long as its thick enough to stick to the kale. All of the water evaporates in the dehydrator anyway. I reduced the salt because i used sundried tomatoes from the store and they were already salted. Next time i will add some cayenne to the recipe because we love spicy. Thanks for this great recipe! Two thumbs up.
