Thanks for the video. I was almost certain I wouldn't find a video showing how to freeze dry rhubarb but yours was here and just the right length to make my search successful!

Thanks so much! I just got my Harvest Right (medium size.....4 trays) and have dandelion flowers in 2 trays and leaves, washed and spun like lettuce, in 2 trays. But I really needed to know about the rhubarb because it's almost ready to process from the garden. I think I'll soak in sugar water a bit, then freeze dry.....my little granddaughter LOVES rhubarb! So hopefully this will be a good treat.

Thanks I was wondering How Is rhubarb would work and now I know.. I love the tip about soaking it in sugar water and then drying it for it would be like a quick candy love that idea

Would it make sense to blanch it first? It's a vegetable, technically, not a fruit, right?

I freeze dried the rhubarb, I have 164 Mt. But it's still seems soft. Why is this not working for me

[@KathYoder5256]

Im curious what the texture should be when done. I'm trying it now and it isnt hard , but flexible yet.

[@ck5152]

I came here wondering the same thing. Processed some a couple weeks ago and it is almost a dry spongy texture. Is it supposed to become completely hard to where it could be powdered or does it stay flexible?

Why is it still spongy
