    Darcy, I’m very new to dehydrating. Your instructions are so easy to follow. I really enjoy the different ways you show to dehydrate for different uses. I also can. I really love having a working pantry so storing food for 15-20 years is not really my goal. But having shelf stable food for a year or so is very comforting. It’s really frustrating when my produce goes bad before I can use it. Dehydrating has opened a whole new world for me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and safety tips. 😄

    • @ThePurposefulPantry
      @ThePurposefulPantry  Pƙed 2 lety +2

    The first time I dried celery, I didn't blanch it. I didn't like the texture of it when I put it in soup, so I think I'm going to powder it and try it blanched to see if I like it better.

    • @ThePurposefulPantry
      @ThePurposefulPantry  Pƙed 2 lety +8

      Yep - I get how it's a stumbling block for some (space issues, not being able to maintain, and maybe not being able to have it at all), but it's definitely a very valid use of food scraps!

  • @kevinmonceaux2101
    @kevinmonceaux2101 Pƙed 2 lety +18

    What timing. I picked up some organic celery recently to use some for vegetable stock, and dehydrate the rest. I've been hearing about the great flavor celery powder adds to things on the Mennonite Farmhouse channel. Yesterday morning I searched for celery dehydrating videos on that channel and yours, but didn't find any. I came back to CZcams a little later in the day and this video popped up in my suggested videos. You posted it while I was out doing some yard work. There will be some celery in my dehydrator in the near future. I have some silicone mesh mats ordered that should arrive Tuesday.
    I've always hesitated buying celery in the past because I never seemed to be able to use it up before it died. I've had similar issues with other veggies. Now that I've started making my own vegetable stock and have started getting into dehydrating, there should no longer be any vegetables left in my fridge too long meeting that fate. I also plan to be getting into canning soon. I've been binge watching a lot of canning and dehydrating videos.

    • @marythompson5381
      @marythompson5381 Pƙed 2 lety +7

      Dehydrating is sooo much easier than canning, imo. But both serve a good purpose. Especially with the expected food shortages coming. Nothing better than a homemade meal on the shelf, ready to heat and eat.

    I love your videos!! Amazing way to use up most of the waste of pieces people throw away. I also found putting the clean ends into a small pail in the fridge with other veggie ends, then tieing into a cheese cloth when it's full, and boiling the tied bag in the water also makes a great veggie broth for soup later when you need it. I found it is great broth for, soup, risotto, etc. Just another use with less waste during tough times. Keep up your great videos! ❀

    I did a quart of celery and a quart of carrots for both my sister and me. Most of our fresh produce comes from the west coast to us in NW WI. I figure if there would be any kind of disaster out west, my soup fixins would be very scarce. So I will probably do a couple quarts every year to assure I have the goodness I expect in my winter soups.

      The bigger factor is that it still needs to cook in the process - once rehydrated, it's still raw. So soaking is just a great way to rehydrate it, but it still needs to cook. Some folks find that destringing it first can be helpful, too.

    Darcy, You are so helpful, but for this video I have a funny story.
    First, we moved from Dallas recently, and live in a wooded area in East Texas.
    I was listening to this video in the house, on my phone. The next morning we got in my car. Well, the speed chopping sound came on the car bluetooth. OMG, I wish I had a video!!!! My husband thought a rat had gotten in the car. This was a few days ago, and I'm still laughing about the scene.
    I wanted to share the story with you.
    I have a TSM dehydrator, and you have been very helpful. I also have your e-book. 💚💚💚

    I have learned the hard way before dehydrating celery that it has to have the strings removed ! I blanch mine for the same reasons Darcy has stated but I still string it also. I have found that when rehydrate that it is as tough as chewing on a piece of green nylon ski rope if it still has the strings in it . The strings do not rehydrate well at all . I powder a great deal of it because it is easier to add the flavor with put the toughness .

    • @ThePurposefulPantry

    • @ThePurposefulPantry
      @ThePurposefulPantry  Pƙed 2 lety +5

      Optimally 12-18 months. You may get longer, but over time, they begin to degrade in texture, nutrients, etc, but their peak is about 12-18 mos.

    As it happened, I just tried dehydrating for the 1st time over the past couple of days. And, celery was what I dehydrated. I wasn't sure what it would turn out like whenever I re-hydrate it, so I thank you for including that information. Can you give me an idea of how long the dehydrated celery will last in just a canning jar, with no oxygen absorber, (I didn't have any)? Again, thank you for an understandable and useful video, as this is a learning experience for me, and probably others.

    • @ThePurposefulPantry

    You can save all of your vegetable cuttings and keep them in the freezer until you get enough to cook down and get vegetable broth. I got 2 gallons the first time I did it. I canned it and now when I make soup I have a base to start with.

    I really enjoy your videos. I have a Freeze Dryer that is being repaired and picked up a dehydrator and admit I may like it better. Know they are different types of food preservation. I had a couple pounds of Garlic that I processed and put in my dehydrator, maybe too long, but it turned to toasted garlic chips (which I love). Have a bag of yellow onions I am going to process and see what happens.

      Dehydrating doesn't necessarily take less time depending on the food and if you pre-freeze the freeze-dried, but freeze dried does last longer.

    • @ArkhamNorth
      @ArkhamNorth Pƙed 3 měsĂ­ci

      The best advantage of freeze drying is that you retain about 95% of nutrients vs about 85% dehydrating. I think time-wise it can be a toss-up, but the quantities are drastically smaller with freeze drying vs a 6+ tray dehydratory.

      It will not dissolve the way powder mixes do - it's the fiber and vitamins, not a dissolvable mix. It will infuse the flavors and give you the vitamins, etc.
