Homemade Lemon Powder

  • We dehydrated and freeze dried lemons and then made powder three ways. After we powdered it in the blender, we placed the powder back in the dehydrator to drive off the last of the moisture. The result was perfect lemon powder that has many uses and is shelf stable for months.
    Note: Since lemonade is made from only the juice of lemons, this powder would not work well for that considering it contains both the pith and the peel. We will do another video on how to make powder for making lemonade.

    The one with more bitterness you can use to make bitterlemon, it's delicious!!!
    I've never dried lemons.
    When I use fresh lemon juice, I always cook the peels afterwards to make bitterlemon (when you ferment the drink for one day you get also the gas inside). The peels after cooking aren't bitter anymore so you can make candies and bath them in chocolate, a very delicious sweet.
    Maybe the cooked peels can be dried and powdered too (when you can resist not to eat them) They are delicious and they still have a lot of flavor.

      I just made some veggie juice powder in my freeze dryer and it turned out great! I freeze dried carrots, celery, sweet peppers, cucumbers, spinach, beets, parsley, and purple cabbage. Once it was done I powdered it up then mixed it with some tomato powder I had on hand (2 parts veggie powder to 1 part tomato powder). I also added turmeric powder, pink salt, and ground pepper to the mix. I add 1/4 cup of the powder mix to 2 cups of water (with a little ice to keep it cold), then blend it well. It’s a bit strong tasting, but the tomato powder helps mellow it a little. I am going to try making my own tomato powder when I get garden fresh tomatoes, I’ll probably cook them down to a thick tomato sauce and then freeze dry the sauce.

    Hi there! I’m enjoying your vids! Thanks for comparing and testing! When I powder ingredients, if they need more time to dry, I sift them through a little strainer and I only dry the bits that don’t powder. Sometimes I just store them in a separate marked container. Like “celery powder” and “celery bits”. Great uses for both and no need to reddy them. They have stored over two years.

    @leila4581 Před rokem +6

    Hi Pam.Thank you for the video! I think that for the last batch (the one without the zests), if after zesting them you raw peel and divide them like we do with grapefruits, you'll end up with raw lemon quarters that you could freeze dry. No more bitterness outcome. I know, it's a little more work, but now they sell very good serrated paring knives and it makes that kind of job very easy. I don't know how that will impact the lemony flavor but who knows? Maybe you'll end up with a good raw lemonade base. All the best.

    One particular video you did was whether we could use the insta pot for canning. The thoroughness for which you put forth was excellent. I was amazed that you were able to use a special thermometer (which you were able to use from one of the University’s), that actually fit in the pot with the jars and was able to record how hot it got. Yes, I was amazed how far you took the research, for that I thank you.

    here in the uk im a little late in the magic of dehydrating but now im loving it, your videos have helped me loads.
    i love fresh lemon, lime and honey for my morning brew, one time i bought a batch of lemons and limes then dehydrated them and ground them into powder but when i added hot water the drink was very bitter however, now ive hit on a perfect way. i peel the lemons then squeeze them with the limes in the juicer, i discard the left over lemons then dehydrate the zest along with all the lime husks, when milled i add them together for a lovely powder, i can then enjoy the fresh juice and if i run out the powder will make a superb drink without the bitterness.
    thanks again, i love your channel.

    Miss Pam, I’m delighted that you covered this topic. I’ve been thinking about doing the same thing myself, but was wondering about the nuances. Thank you for being willing to do the experimentation and to share it with us, so we’ve already got a head start on our dehydration of lemons.
    That plastic bag idea is sheer genius. Big thank you to whoever sent that in! Serious game changer there, when all we wanna do is get something done and packaged up properly as quickly as possible, Without having to stop and deal with food getting flipped up into the lid.
    By way of giving back, and especially for people who want to save on the energy, When it comes to drying lemon peels, there is an easy trick that saves a lot of energy. When you peel the lemon, if you hold your peeler and just rotate the lemon with the other hand, you can get all the peel off in one continuous strip. Then, you can just hang it over a rack in the kitchen, and when you come back a few hours later, it’s dry. Or at least that’s how it works in my kitchen, and I live in a cold and humid location just slightly above sea level. Mind you, it leaves the peels more golden than sunshiny yellow, but it doesn’t seem to affect the flavor. I use them for tea, and they taste as nice when they’re dried that way as they are when they’re fresh for that use.
    Mind you, your powdering idea looks divine; as soon as I’ve got a new batch of anything to do with lemons done tomorrow, it’s all going in the blender! I’ve got half a bag of Costco lemons there, and they may have to go in the dehydrator tomorrow after seeing this today.
    Thank you so much! :-)

      This powder is not the best for making lemonade. Remember, it has the peel and the pith in it. I will be making a lemon juice powder that should be much more suited to make lemonade--I will make a video.

    I dehydrated a lot of mixed veggies I bought on sale. Frozen veggies. I wasn’t using them so I powdered my veggies and now I have a gallon of veg. Powder to add to all kinds of foods. Like hamburgers, meat loaf, soup, roasts, anything really. It adds to the nutrition to add veggie powder to everything.

    I have dehydrated lemons... in order not to get them brown, it will have to be done at low temperature.
    What I have come to nowadays is to save the slices for tea or lemonade. For powder lemon, save the used ones, cut them into very thin strips (not slices) and dehydrate.
    It has worked for me. I take advantage when they are on sale, dehydrate and vacuum seal for future use.
    The powder I use for salads, chicken, cakes, etc.
    Thank you for going through all the options. You are amazing!
