Pumpkin powder and peas and carrots or peas and carrots powder.
Garlic onions peppers vegetables
I actually have a question, the dehydrated Zucchini, could it be used in Zucchini bread/muffins?
@@MamaKittieKat czcams.com/video/0tp6eZwl56g/video.html
My daughter loves oranges and here in PA there super expensive can you dehydrate them?
We take zucchini that has grown too big, cut it into 1 inch chunks, cook it in pineapple juice and dehydrate it. Makes it taste like dried pineapple. It can take on any flavor⌠use apple juice, cool-aid, lemonade, etc.
Thanks cant stand zukinni myself but will try this
Ann, if you cooked zuchinni in pineapple juice and added lemon and sugar would it be like pineapple preserves? Would bottled or canned pineapple juice work?
@@donnajohnson9647 we always use canned pineapple juice.
Great idea, thanks!
@@donnajohnson9647 I made last yr fake pineapple rings from zucchini, very good also jam ,same way slice way you like it add sugar,let stay 1-3 hr ,relise juice,and cook like you making jam , add orange slice and lemon , at end take out . No one can Gusâs itâs zucchini.
Mushroom powder is my âsecret ingredientâ in my fried rice!đ
Great tip!
Oh, Iâll have to try that next time I make fried rice
Don't think I have ever thanked you. But, you are why I got a dehydrator. You have taught me how to do this properly, and I can't thank you enough. Did buy your book. Thank you, and God bless.
I'm so glad I could be helpful, Janis! And I hope the book helps you tons!
Me too! She is so inspiring!!đ¤Żđ
Same here. I watched a few videos before purchasing my dehydrator last summer, but Darcy's video as well as her website, are what got me started with dehydrating.
Any recommendation on a dehydrator?
@@mysticalmentoringtv1140 What's your budget? What space do you have? Where are you located in the world? Those all make a difference. Here's a rundown on what I recommend (but it is US-centric) www.thepurposefulpantry.com/tips-for-buying-a-dehydrator
we just did 100 lbs of onions. we love the smell of onions. lucky us. we found a deal of 50 lb bags for 16 bucks. we peeled em and sliced them and dehydrated them. we are happy to have them bagged in mylar. we also have 10 packs of caramelized onions in our freezer. And I just did a 2 quart jar of mushrooms yesterday. totally agree with these. must haves!
I dehydrate the skins and ends for homemade broths. I do this with all vegetable scraps, it saves on freezer space
About a year and a half ago, I learned that you can dehydrate tomato skins and make tomato powder. I think about all the years I canned tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, etc and threw out the skins. đŽ I told my daughter about this last season and she dried her tomato skins and powdered them when she was canning. I wish I would have known about this sooner.
Iâve been dehydrating instead of canning or freezing this year. We always grow a big garden with lots of vegetables, berries and get fruit off our trees. All the berries we grew was dehydrated for turning to powder as we need more for our smoothies, yogurt or hot cereals. Weâre planning on traveling for 4 months soon in our motor home and Iâm taking as much dehydrated fruits and veggies to save on weight. I already have some packaged as complete meals with onions, celery, carrots and mushrooms being staples.
I harvested over 600# of tomatoes and many got dehydrated. Depending upon how I will use them determined how they were dried. Halved, sliced or leather for powdering.
Sliced apples are another great staple that gets used a lot.
I found good deals on 50# bags of potatoes and depending upon the variety determined how they were cut and dried for the dishes theyâll be used in. Yes, I dislike doing them but couldnât pass the deal. Ended up with three varieties.
The bulk of the greens are mixed but some spinach and kale were kept separate for other uses. The powdered mixed greens are mostly for our smoothies.
Zucchini got grated for soups, muffins, cookies or bread. Others got turned into chips for snacking with a little seasoning.
Citrus gets used almost daily in drinks and my husband likes to eat them all as chipâs. Actually he likes to eat everything dried as snacks lol
Home grown herbs are wonderful to dry. When dry they look and smell better than store bought. Green onions are used a lot too.
My goal is to buy very little food while weâre away and eat a healthy variety of foods and save our freezer space for meats.
While at home we use it all but Iâm curious what we use when traveling.
Itâs been fun experimenting drying different things this year. Things I had never given a thought about like strawberries!
Thanks for all your informative videos and giving me new ideas.
I had some zucchini snuck onto my porch last week. Jokes on them, Iâve now got chips (wasabi flavoured and chili/lime flavoured)!!
Recipe please â¤
I just went through my dehydrated, frozen,canned goods and made some more vegetable powder. I threw in everything, but the kitchen sink, including some dehydrated apples.
I made eggplant flour out my dehydrated eggplant. I did add some also to my vegetable powder.
I made some delicious eggplant tortillas and enjoyed them with cream cheese for breakfast.
Thanks for sharing so much of your dehydrating knowledge with us. Iâll be saving and dehydrating my strawberry tops from now on.đđ
Wait. Eggplant flour? đ
Onions! Lots of onions!
Yellow squash, zucchini, garlic, green cabbage, bananasâŚ
I have 4 cases of quart jars filled with dehydrated canned corn. Each quart jar contains almost 7 cans of dehydrated corn! Space saver for sure.
I bought frozen hash brown potatoes and they dried beautifully. To use them just soak them and then fry them as usual.
GMTA!!!
My 30 year old dehydrator gave up the ghost about 2 months ago & I got a new one thatâs fantastic. The only thing I donât have in my pantry is zucchini. Funny cuz hubby came home from work today with an arm load of zucchini so thatâs whatâs in next. Itâs summertime here in New Zealand . I also keep âgravelâ in my pantry (dried hamburger). Iâm an avid camper and go to some pretty remote and primitive areas & itâs lovely to have good foods that donât need refrigeration, donât take up a lot of space and arenât too heavy.
My pantry is fuller than itâs ever been before cuz last year I fell off a cliff while hiking and fractured my spine. Still in recovery. Am able to walk again, but dehydrating @ preserving have helped me to not loose my mind while Iâm recovering. Tomorrow that zucchini has a date with the dehydrator. Iâve already surpassed my limit for today for standing & moving about the house. I canât wait to try some baking with the flour. I had no idea it could be used like that. Thank you.
You fell off a cliff? Wow that sounds like a story! I'm glad you're still here to dehydrate food! I'm just starting out dehydrating and very happy to find this channel.
@@robyn_rainbow yup, luckily I donât remember anything. I did it on my birthday as well.
@@womensarmycorpsveteran2904 wow what a terrible birthday present!
If you have a baby in your home, dehydrate and powder ALL the fruits and veggies. They are instant baby food. Just add to a bit of warm water and stir.
But it is important to get a safe consistency for whatever stage that baby is in. Too thick can be a choking hazard and cause some stomach issues.
Im usually a canner and my dehydrating was limited to jerky but I have recently started doing vegetables that have overstayed their welcome in the fridge. Ive started with apple rings, mushrooms, celery and greens for powder. I think I have a new hobby!
My favorites to dehydrate are: citric, lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruits! Love them and their concentrated flavors and soooo easy to do! I used them in meats, drinks, snacks, cereals, marinates, so versatile! And I use every part of the fruit in many ways... I zest the peels first, then squeeze the juices or thin slice whole defore dehydrating. And they last years in the pantry. When I zest the peels I sometime grind them, they're delicious in oatmeal and cream of wheat! Yes citric fruits are my favorite! â¤ď¸đ
Another thing, I keep all of the citrus and apple peels and dehydrate those to use in a simmer pot on the stove with a cinnamon stick and/or herbs to freshen up the air in the home and add humidity to it in the winter time.
Apple peel powder is amazing in Oatmeal or jello.
My go toâs for dehydrated food are Spinach, Onions and carrots. I use them in almost everything.đ đ
I like to dehydrate green onions so that I always have them on hand to flavor rice as I cook it.
I have a bucket of charcoal I keep in the room when I'm dehydrating onions. Charcoal absorbs the smell.
Omg I did my oranges & lemons two weeks ago from your prev video â¤& I added it to salmon baked in the oven and I was able to eat it as is. Also used it in tea w đŻ. You are a blessing
But YOU did the work - way to go!
My favorites are dehydrated mushrooms, rice, beans, onions and potato powder.
It changed a bit since I also started canning but there is nothing simpler than a fast soup with whatever dehydrated stuff looks good at the moment in minutes.
Thanks for sharing!!
Good Lord!! This is the best video I've seen in my 3 years of learning to grow and store food. My garden heart is full. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Glad it was helpful!
Onion, spring onion, mushrooms,corn,carrots,vegetable powder,herbs,orange, lemon , lime,grape fruit, zuchini,peppers,tomatoes,garlic,greens. Wow i really like your videos. Thanks for sharing.
This is the first I'm hearing about dehydrating cooked grains and beans. This tip will help me so much. I grew my own onions and I will dehydrate whatever is left at the end of spring so I don't lose any at all. A great veggie that adds a flavor punch is celery. I cut mine on the bias to dehydrate and then some gets ground, some stays whole for stew and soup.
Glad it was helpful!
We had an abundance of cherry tomatoes last year so I dried them and have ground some into powder and OMG.. you are so right, what a wonder flavor to add to pizza, soups, casseroles...
Thanks so much for the ideas and instructions - love your channel and look forward to more of your videos.
Sounds great! and thanks!
I love dehydrated fruit and veggies. Thank you for teaching me how to do this and to powder them. All the stuff my family won't eat is now powdered and they eat it without complaining. This has been a real savings with my herb garden. I now have every spice I cook with in a dehydrated or powdered form. Sometimes both. I love your channel.
Considering the price of good herbs at the store, it is probably the best money save (and tastes so much better) to grow in your own garden or window or porch. Many herbs can tolerate cold, not -4 like we had recently (but get some frost cloth at Amazon) and it will make it through.
So glad you're learning how to make this work for you!
I dehydrated 10 pounds of frozen hash browns early last summer when I could get them 5 pounds for 2.99 at Kroger. We took a jar on a camping trip in October and they were delish with some turkey Spam. My husband has Alpha Gal disease and can't have the regular Spam. He was really over the moon about that meal.
Hey great idea
Love the smell of onion and garlic dehydrating in my house.
I canât tell you just how thankful I am to get all of this information. I got tired of paying the high prices for Apple chips a few weeks ago so I made a decision to get a dehydrator. đŽ I absolutely love the food in my dehydrator (what few I have done) but I have been confused. So this is such valuable information for me. Iâm fixing to listen to this over again to make sure I get everything. Iâll probably listen to it quite a few times actually. Lol. â¤
I have this for you, too: www.thepurposefulpantry.com/dehydrating-faq/
I love greens that I grow. My bf doesn't like many vegetables. I could so openly hide so many things for him. Thanks
Our local store had frozen vegetables (selected varieties) on sale the whole month of November. I dehydrated as many bags as could buy & gave as Christmas gifts. I also tried making jerky for the time.
Thatâs awesome đ
And with a pantry full of dehydrated food if our electricity is cut, and lose our frozen food, at least we will have dried food in the pantryđđťđĽ°
I semi-retired last year. Being a single mom, time was my luxury. Now, with your help, I can be logical and take this list to heart. Thank you again and again!!
My son and sister in law found a 7 tier dehydrator/beef jerky maker in the garbage about a week ago. We think it was used maybe one time, then sat on the shelf for decades. We already do some gardening, homesteading-y but it's hard because we live in the city. Her boyfriend drives a semi truck and is always bringing home huge boxes of fresh food on the verge of going bad and she does her best to make sure most all of it gets some use to someone. Gonna find out if that person's trash becomes our treasure with a ginormous box of organic lemons and limes, wish us luck! đ
Awesome!! If it has a temperature control, turn it down to 125F or under to help keep that citrus' color.
@@ThePurposefulPantry no controls, just plug and play 𤣠I gotta read the booklet still for citrus tips
Know that the citrus may turn brown...rotate the trays often during the process!
@ThePurposefulPantry thanks I will, there's some liners like the one you have in your citrus video, and I do have parchment paper, I'm gonna do my best đ
I have a small apartment and I am a senior citizen. I think this is the way I should go. Thank you so much I was debating about getting a dehydrator, but I do have a love affair with glass jars đ especially because I have no balcony to grow anything in the past. I was a sensational gardener but sometimes when you get older you have to change Iâd like the idea of the freezer department.
Zucchini dried like that makes great tzatziki. Using dried makes it less watery; just add dried to the yoghurt. Thereâs enough moisture in the yoghurt to rehydrate the zucchini and make a nice tzatziki. đ
Some local supermarkets around me have special shelves of reduced priced vegetables. I just bought a ton of camprini tomatoes that were a bit soft, but dried wonderfully. The taste of the dried is phenomenal and made a very tasty powder, too! I also got a ton of different colored sweet peppers that also dried well. Strawberries, too. All at 50 â 75% off the original. Other things we have dried, when on sale, is turkey bacon and already cooked turkey sausage (sliced into about 1/4 inch strips). They taste great dried & can be broken up or powdered to sprinkle in a variety of dishes (ie. Pizza, eggs, sauces, etc). I'm now wanting a bigger dryer so I can do more!
dehydrated green onions are wonderful in rice and also quiche as well.
I buy dried minced onions in bulk from my local store. Very reasonably priced. And they have a strong flavor. So I know they havenât been sitting around for a long time.
Hi DarcyâŚđđťđ. I will be getting a glut of boysenberries and raspberries this summer. Last year it was incredible! All gifted to me. I made 84 jars of jam and jelly last, pies and hand pies last year because of the amount of berries this young couple didnât want. They love them, but they had too much. They bought a new home and found the bushes on their property. I get dibs on everything they donât keep. So, this year Iâll be dehydrating all of them bc of courseâŚI have jam and jelly coming out of my ears! I give away to neighbors and friends and many got a jar for Christmas. What Iâm surprised at that most people, just about all ask me for more! I did tell them not to buy any bc I have so much and they are asking for it. Makes me very happyâŚsome return the jars, some donât. But itâs Ok. I canât waste these beautiful berries!
What a treat!!
Ask for a $2 deposit on the jars!
Tell them they can have refills upon returning that jar, they are getting very expensive nowadays
I slice apples into slices and small bits, add lemon juice, brown sugar and cinnamon. The bits are added to granola and the slices get eaten by the handful. A gallon jar doesnât last long.
My favorite dehydrator food is sliced apples. Get out the mandolin and glove to save your fingers and slice up the apples. They are the best sugar free snack đ
Since following you and I started dehydrating in September past, I've had fun learning and watching your videos, but according to my family -- I'm not allowed to work with onions, garlic and definitely no peppers. I go a bunch at the farm and boy was that powder HOT, even taking the lid off the jar you could smell it. đ¤Łđ¤Ł Oh well, we have to start somewhere.. Thank you.
Whenever you can - do those outside :) Then you can still have them!
In Florida, I have never seen a food clearance area except for expiring bakery items and maybe a tiny bit off meat on the day of expiry
I've never done any dehydrating. I have a dehydrater. Now I'm excited to start.
I am brand new to dehydrating. I just bought a Cosari dehydrator so I am soaking up all your videos to prepare for dehydrating this season. Thank you for all your help â¤
I dehydrated onions and garlic in my bathroom (remove towels first) - moved the machine there, opened window /closed door.
It worked very well.
Good way to keep the family grin lolly-gagging in the bathroom, I'd be in and out of there quick as possible.
When I want to clear any house smells I turn on all those little ceiling exhaust fans on, like the one in your bathroom and like the one above your stove. I run them overnight.. all the smells go away. Lucky me I have 5 of this little exhaust fans.
Wow you just inspired me to dehydrate greens. My hubby and I used to always eat salads, spinach, beet greens etc. But he passed away last yr and now it seems to just go bad in the fridge. Think next time I get some I'll dehydrate most of it and still get the awesome nutrition they provide. đ⤠Rose
So sorry, Rose - but yay on finding a way to continue on with it!
I dehydrate peas and carrots, green beans, broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, greens, scallions, garlic, rice, potatoes, citrus, dill, rosemary, mint, chives, and basil.
I just started researching dehydrating food. I'm so excited to get these foods ready but, I'm petrified of making my family ill. Canning is something I've done for years but dehydration is new to me. Wish me luck!
Thank you. I just took cranberries off the dehydrator this morning. Washed them, cut them in half, put about 1/2 cup maple syrup on them then dried. I used two 12 oz. bags. It made about 3 good cups dried.
Thank you. I got into this after watching a few of your videos. The deal on the Cosori that you secured for your followers is when I got mine. It is nice and quiet and effective. I now have jars of dill, beets, apples, onions, oranges, blueberries, rhubarb, ginger, and I will be making carrots again to grind into carrot powder. I can't tell you how much money and time this has saved us or how much more nutrition we get but I am very grateful for all I have learned from you and this group.
That's awesome, Susan! I'm so glad you've done the work and have been able to stock your pantry and feed your family better that way!
We go through a LOT of onions, peppers of all kinds, garlic, cabbage, celery, and carrots. I keep the celery tops and make celery salt, i keep tomato skins and powder those, and i keep all the greens that I can and powder those as well. Anything that I see that we aren't eating in time goes in the dehydrator.
We make gravel. It is dehydrated ground beef. After cooking rinse the fat off and then you can add things like powdered chili mix or brown gravy mix while wet in a pan to mix it. Then dehydrate . Makes an awesome meal for camping or hiking. You can also add dehydrated corn and peas and carrots to the brown garvy one to make a sheppards pie.
How long and at what temperature do you dehydrate it at please? Thank you
Got a cosori dehydrator for Christmas and I found you. Excited to do this. Thank you for awesome videos.
Oh my stars! I am so tired of throwing away green onions!! I am thrilled I found your channel. I recently got an air fryer/dehydrator and have done mushrooms and celery! Glad to know about doing frozen onions, The mushrooms smelled great while dehydrating. I do not like raw mushrooms but really liked the flavor of dehydrated.
always wondered why mixing my own taco seasoning never came out as good as my favorite brand
TOMATO POWDER was the missing ingredient
and nobody sells it
Make it! And sure - ThriveLife sells it, Augason Farms sells it - and lots of uses for it other than taco seasoning:
www.thepurposefulpantry.com/ways-to-use-tomato-powder/
Frontier also sells it. Google it.
What types of peppers make good taco seasoning?
Iâm sooooooo glad I found your channel today. Iâm going to review a your videos and get this section of my pantry built up
You're Such a Great Person to do all that for your Family
FYI...I air dry Everything over my radiant heater in my small space...no dehydrator necessary ...carrots, peas, shrooms done in a few days, fruits high sugar items take a couple weeks, and I buy dry potato flakes, scallop potatoes, etc . however I have had great success with Frozen hah browns, and other frozen veggies, as you mentioned...Thanks for the good info... đŻđđşđ¸
Whatever works for you!
I love the smell of the onions.
This lady is an absolute gem. đ Finally got a Cosori, about to binge watch and dry everything!! đâ¤ď¸
I love dehydrating greens. I hang them and then put them in my grinder. They add nutrients and color to almost everything I make. Love them!!
We use mushroom powder mostly in meatloaf, turkey burgers, and meatballs.
It keeps everything super juicy. 1-2 Tbs to a pound of ground meat works for us.
Great video, thanks. I made all sorts of dehydrated foods in early 2022 in preparation for a long remote canoe trip. This included beef jerky and bannock. With fish caught during the trip, I had tons of lightweight food. It was awesome! Thanks for all your tips and recipes!! đ¨đŚ
Awesome video! Right there with you on the potatoes, lol. Must-haves for me are tomatoes, peppers and squash. Looking at what else is needed for quick meals (cheeseburger soup? Where have I been?!). A friend makes dried onions every year, so I buy hers rather than do my own (win-win). It's funny that watermelon has become such a big thing to dehydrate in recent years. I live near the Navajo Nation. For Navajos (and other tribes), home grown watermelon, cantaloupe, squash, corn, etc. were always traditionally dried for winter eating and storage, especially if the family did not have a root cellar. I found that I prefer to dry cantaloupe and other melons as a snack, because that concentrates the sugars. There's are few things more disappointing to me than cutting into a melon that smells and looks wonderful, only to have it taste "meh". Dehydrator to the rescue! Thanks so much for all the inspiration! đ
I think that watermelon has such an intense flavor when dried - that it can be off putting to some. REALLY sweet - and sometimes flavorless if they don't have a great watermelon!
On Amazon found a hanging 6 tier mesh sun dehydrator. We hang it on the enclosed porch. Yes to many places are to humid like Texas. But hanging it out to dry as much as possible before putting them in my oven on the lowest setting. Been working just fine. Till we can get another dehydrator
I'm kind of known as 'the lady who dehydrates everything' at my local farmers market. I'm a big advocate of dehydrating. I use my stuff all the time! 2 things--- my mushrooms don't fully powder very fine and some of my stuff still clumps in the jar even after drying again once powdered plus using silica gel packs. Any suggestions? Thank you. ( loved this video, learned a lot!)
Use arrowroot powder. www.thepurposefulpantry.com/keep-dehydrated-powders-dry/
I've just found your channel and watching this video, I'm from NZ.This is exactly the info I wanted and then some.
You are Gold!
I AM ABSOLUTELY AMAZED .. YOU HAVE PUT QUITE AN EFFORT IN PRESENTING THIS VIDEO AND I AM STUNNED AT THE EFFORT YOU SPEND IN DEHYDRATING ALL THOSE FOODS .. CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR SUCH GREAT IDEAS AND EXPLANATIONS ON HOW TO USE THEM
MAY ALLAH GUIDE YOU TO THE RIGHT PATH .. THANK YOU AGAIN đˇ
Constantly dehydrating food - do the frozen vegetable trick all the time. I do the same thing with potatoes - but doing frozen potatoes obrien works great!! The one thing I have never done is dry greens and make powder - I will be doing that this winter!! I do have an indoor garden, so I am going to grow and dehydrate some of those greens! Thanks for your videos!
Dehydrated citrus is great in mixed drinks!!! I garnish my apple pie moonshine cocktail
(from an amazing distiller in Niagara on the lake, Ontario, Canada)with dehydrated orange slices and then add it to the glass as I drink it....they are delish!!!!
A big money saver and a way to use those mushrooms and mushroom powderâŚ..make your own cream of mushroom soup !
Itâs so much better than canned, waaaaay cheaper and super easy !
I have two bags of frozen veg dehydrating right now and will make veggie powder afterwards
You are the Swiss Army knife of dehydrating queens.đ Except we can depend on you having what is asked for when needed. Love it.
I have dehydrated lemon peel. It has more vit. C than orange.
Then used a coffee grinder to turn to powder. Great in teas .
If you dehydrated it above 135F, it has lost a lot of it's Vitamin C - dry it low..or air dry it to keep that.
@@ThePurposefulPantry thanks. Also only process the peel, the rest is bitter
Depends on how you do it - I do the whole lemon all the time ;) Pith is what makes the difference - lots of pith makes it more bitter. I also do it to make it easier to dry, peel the zest off, dry the slices, then remove the pith.
I dehydrate lots of veggies. I use a Foodsaver Jar sealer, and a brake bleeder vacuum pump to vacuum seal the jars. I find the vacuum helps keep the things fresh much longer. I vac to about 15 on the guage. I also vac beans, rice, it will kill all the bugs you may get in the jars.
As far as my pantry, I have what you have, with the exception of celery, leaves as well, and orange peels, good for flavor,or to make homemade cleaning products smell nice. Also good for a scent pot to make the house smell yummy đ
About the tomatoes for anyone dealing with inflammation: the lectins are in the skin and seeds
Whoever happened upon the idea of mushroom powder was a genius... I found Porcini mushroom powder at a whole foods store, & I've become addicted to it!
Add it into mashed potatoes with butter or cream & a little garlic salt & cracked pepper- & you will wonder what you ever ate before...
I enjoy using my organic frozen mixed veggies in soups!!! It adds another dimension of flavor.
i am watching this just before going to bed which was either a wise choice, because wowzerz lady! your noggin is so full of information and you are so resourceful! and my brain feels like it needs to sleep now because it just worked really hard and on top of that there is excitement... which might be why watching this before bed might backfire on me. Because now I am going to be daydreaming about all the things I want to start doing!
Thank you so much for sharing all this info! I recently bought a kilowatt meter to see how much electricity my dehydrator was actually using. I don't recall the exact amount off the top of my head as I am writing this, but it was MUCH cheaper than I had expected. so now I am practicing with different things.
Yep - I pay about .75/1.50 per day depending on the project -- and $30/a month on all the food I preserve is worth it to me.
My family loves dehydrated okra. It makes a great snack! It is also handy for cooking, without taking up that valuable freezer space.
I sprinkle ranch seasoning on my okra before dehydrating.
This is an AWESOME idea.
in our supermarkets there are only white and brown mushrooms. i cut them in half and dry them, as a vegan i make goulash out of them. just use the mushrooms instead of meat. drying the mushrooms gives them the consistency of meat.for health reasons i only became a vegan when i was over 50 years old (i have been paralyzed since 22 years and have ms and had hemiparesis).at first everyone thought i had meat goulash in a pot. they tasted it and some still cook it at home. unfortunately i live in a rented place in a town.because the space is tight. but I also have a small shelf with dried greens and wouldn't want to do without it. It's garlic's turn today and my nurse won't be thrilled.because she has to peel every toe.peeled garlic is only available on the internet, not in every supermarket. but she is brave. had already peeled some last week.I poured honey over it and then in October I will take 1 teaspoon a day. I had my last cold in 1973 when I was 8 years old. Grandma and mother too. So, enough talking ^^^.
Essential, mixed veggies, and celery! I did not do enough celery. And strawberries and apples. I got by with just one dehydrator, but next year I will have two.
Sounds great!
Tip for yellow squash: grate, dehydrate & powder. I use a little bit for that buttery look in mashed potatoes or as thickener in casseroles.
My son recently stopped by and happened to look into my dry pantry and said, That's cool Mom, it's really pretty. I replied it's super handy especially when you run out of the fresh veggies đ¤Ł
I haven't dehydrated anything yet. đ˛đ
But I bought a couple of dehydraters, some extra trays for my Cosori, a book on dehydrating and some jars to store! Procrastination- the story of my life!
I'll challenge you to get one out, put some frozen veggies on and get your first project under your belt!
@@ThePurposefulPantry I accept your challenge! đ And I'll report back next Saturday. Thank you!
I dry my onions with celery and itâs not stinky!
Parsley I grew. Celery I grew. Onions I grew. Basil I grew. As hubby saysâŚ. Those greenies she adds really helps the flavor of meals!
My vegetables are grown locally and only in season and that's why I'm dehydrating foods. I don't want to buy from supermarkets if I can avoid it. I buy from farmers markets.
Zucchini in the UK is Courgette and eggplant is Aubergine đ I made my own chilli đś powder now đ very đĽ 𼾠for my own curry powder.
I'm glad you have that ability - not everyone does.
Just started dehydrating, again! I used to dehydate for river camping trips. I have tomatoes in the dehydrator now, just did some banana peppers, cooked beans, frozen mixed veggies and some frsh figs. This can be addictive!
It can!!!
So far we use celery powder most, keeps my bp in check and energises me.
I live in an apartment - I buy Thrive Life foods - expensive and NO WASTE. I live alone so works great for me. I loved the content of this video - Thank you so much. I subscribed
My eldest daughter is autistic. She loves flavor but canât handle texture, especially slick. I plan to dry cilantro, cinnamon basil, and green onions from our garden to add to her food. Fingers crossed that she enjoys them.
Powders help with this a lot. I have a son w ho is highly texture sensitive, and that's how we add a ton of nutrients to our food for him - powdered vegetables and greens.
@@ThePurposefulPantry textures are hard for her. She is high functioning as well as high intelligence so itâs really hard on her. She knows she likes it but the texture stops her from enjoying it. She finds food very frustrating. She asked for a mushroom stock mix and loved it so much it gave me the idea to look into dehydration again.
I grew up with dehydrating, but haven used one since getting married 22 years ago. Iâm hoping it will help her with her cooking adventures, too. I have a large garden where we grow numerous foods. To be able to preserve them easily, while increasing her food choices will help give her more confidence. Canning veggies isnât an option due to the texture issues.
Mine as well! She priced out commercial veg powder, and we bought a dehydrator instead!
Thank you. After finding your videos I bought a Corsori dehydrator and havenât stopped since I got it. You rock!
#1 dehydrated sweet onion slices . We eats them in salads , on steaks , chicken , in casserole.. I did 36 lbs of them in May we just opened our last jar. #2 mushrooms #3 celery #4 peppers ,#5 noodles for my instant noodle soup . #6 spinach , #7 kale #8 mixed veggies #9 homemade bread crumbs
Celery salt is off the cart fabulous with your dried celery! I use the same amount of each after I have powdered it!! I promise it is incredible in so many dishes like deviled eggs !!!
I recently purchased a hydroponic garden an I have 4 feet of snow in my yard. Iâm loving the ability to dehydrate so many items I normally wouldnât.
What type of hydroponic garden did you choose?
Ohhh myyy goshhhh! This info busted down the walls of the "boring box" I put myself in!! You are amazing; thank you so much for sharing the wealth of knowledge from your personal experiences! I had no idea and I'm probably not alone đ
I tried my new dehydrator machine today! I'm very happy. I did one tray of shredded carrots and one tray of chopped, frozen spinach. Your video about frozen veggies was Very helpful. I did let it sit for awhile. Then broke up the pieces and spread evenly. I eat all organic and locally grown food, so this is such good information about storing seasonal foods! Thank you!
Awesome! Glad you had such a great first time out!
I love doing zucchini, peppers, mushrooms, and herbs into a powder and add to meat, eggs, and soups! I love some of your ideas and will be adding some of these to my counter instead of stashing away.
Thank you Darcy! I just got my first dehydrator yesterday...and I'm learning so much from you ! YOu're awesome. Thank you! God bless you and your lucky family (to have you!).
