I've been dehydrating and powdering celery, onions and green peppers for an "instant Trinity" flavor for quick Cajun dinners as well as carrots, celery and onions for my own mirepoix.
Love this idea. I do mirepoix as well but didnât think about an instant trinity. đ
Me either! Iâm totally doing this.
As soon as I saw celery, onion, and green peppers I knew it was a Louisianian, lol. Both sides of my family are from Louisiana. I'm not, but I sure love the food!
I have been doing the same thing for yrs . Glad to hear some else does also.
thank you for sharing this info. đ I'm going to do same
The time and effort you put into your videos to share with us is really appreciated. Thankyou
So nice of you!!
Save those cut off end pieces in the freezer and add to your chicken or beef broth that you make later on. It adds such a nice flavor to broth.
I had no space to do so :) That's why they are going into compost - I have no more need for them.
⊠I do that will most all my vegetable discards ⊠it makes a great base soup bone stocks !
I learned something clever from an old cookbook! Add a pinch of baking soda to the blanching water for celery and that beautiful green color is beautiful! I tried it both ways and will always use soda from now on!
1Ă©2 tsp of baking soda per 1 cup of blanching water. works great!
Darcy, Iâm 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. Itâs 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. đ
Awesome! I'm glad you found it helpful and gives you a sense of other avenues that you can stock your pantry with! It's important that we don't keep all of our food storage in one little compartment!

It was perfect timing for this video! I cooked with some celery tonight and thought it was time for me to do something with it. I've dehydrated celery before, but I learned a lot in this video that will help. Thanks!
I'm so glad!!
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.
That's the key - never assume a result by a first try - experiment!
Thank you for the comment about compost. I try to use as much of something as I can and then compost the rest. Iâve been amazed by the reaction of some over the idea of composting.
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!
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.
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.
Good for you!!
Just dehydrated celery. I bought a mandolin, chopped it, dehydrated it. Itâs conditioning on my counter now. And yes, Iâm planting the end. Never did this befor, so weâll see. Darcy, your the Queen of Dehydrating. Thanks for everything you do for usâŠmuch respect. â„ïž
lol - I'm not, but thanks :)
You my darling are a lifesaver. I didnt know I needed this in my life, but I did! Thank you for being your wonderful self!!
I love this channel! I have not watched in a bit but I come back and feel peace every time! You have so much useful info and I am so thankful. Keep it up Darcy
I have a dehydrator and was searching for how toâs. Thank you!!! đđđ»
I really just stopped researching everything and just turn into your channel for my answers. Thank You
Just want you to know I appreciate your videos. I am learning so much. Today is celery day here. đ
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! â€ïž
Thanks. This video was incredibly helpful . I love how you show everything so methodically. đââïžđ
Glad it was helpful!
"Take my word for it - that's what you need to do" LOL! Thank you so much for making these videos and sharing your wealth of knowledgeđ
You are so welcome!
You are such a wealth of knowledge
No more wasting my ends and pieces!! I love this!
You do such a great job teaching us. Thanks for all your hard work! đđ»
I appreciate that!
Your videos are so interesting as well as inspiring. Thank You đ
You make it so simple and clear! Thanks you!
Thank you for another great video full of information!! You make the best videos about "how to do things and why" that I've ever seen!!
aww - thanks!! I'm glad you find them helpful!
I do enjoy your channel! Someone has done very nice editing to create these videos. Thank you.
Dearest Darcy.. This presentation was so concise . Thank you so much. Susan from British Columbia
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing this great seasoning blend recipe!
Hope you enjoy! Just remember - it's really versatile, so if you don't quite like this version - try adding some of your own favorites to it!
I had no idea about the âconditioningâ. That is so helpful to know
I literally grow celery just to dehydrate every year. I use it in so many dishes and never blanch them and have never had a color change, but than again I use it a lot.
I just discovered you and love all you videos! Thank you and i have been sharing with my mom who has just started preserving food. Many Blessings to you!
Thank you for this. I hate wasting celery! Last time I froze it but it wasnt that great. Your "different seasoning" looks delicious & its good to know it can be used as a salt substitute. I'm not going to mess with blanching after seeing this. đ
You cover everything. Thank you so much! I'm dehydrating celery for the first time. I'm going to powder it all for seasoning. I didn't Blanche and understand it will have a bite. We'll see how it turns out. But thank you again for this video. Everything in one 20 min video.
I dehydrate the leaves and celery together. I also have to use one of the silicone mats because I dice so fine sometimes. I just powdered some celery and leaves yesterday to add to my poultry seasoning mix. I just bought 3 stalks just for dehydrating. Need to get a few more.
Thank you Darcy! So far I have dehydrated 6 stalks of celery plus the leaves. I've got 6 more stalks to go. I know I go through a stalk a month. I save the root ends for bone broth. I haven't blanched my celery yet. I need to test it so I know what I like better if I'm putting the celery into a salad. My poor dehydrator is getting quite the workout!
Thank you for all the information, it's excellent and yayyy for composting...its a good thing.đ
Thanks for another informative video Darcy!
My pleasure!
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.
Do try growing celery. You can even do it in containers. You cut off above the base as you need and it will regrow :-)
The trimmed pieces of celery I freeze for use in making stock. I add onions, carrots and other veggie trimmings for delicious veggie stock.
I am growing 33 celery stalks right now. Just fattening up the ribs before harvest. I will dehydrate most of them. I have been a celery waster in the frig many times before. I bought 12.stalks at $.89 each, at Thanksgiving and dehydrated them. Someone just blessed me with a stock pot insert with holes to help with my blaching
Great job! I have never grown it before.
@@ThePurposefulPantry I grew Utah celery from Seeds of Change Organic. It took 6 packets to get any to sprout and grow. I had a huge number of fails with their 2021 seeds
Love my celery drys. I use all it and it's so good. Always have it. Cabbage beans corn ( store brought) and luscious leaves from beetroot and others.
I have become obsessed with your videos!đ You do a great job explaining things!!
Glad you like them!
@@ThePurposefulPantry I also did celery the other day! I realized I need to purchase mesh liners for my trays đ€Ł Amazon here I come! Ha!
I just dehydrated a giant bag of kale & my spinach. We sprinkle in our foods. Going to do celery tomorrowđ
Love these dehydrating videoâs!!
I'm so glad!
Your videos are OUTSTANDING! Thank you so very much!
Glad you like them!
Thank you. I'm totally new to dehydrating. My dehydrator is supposed to be here tomorrow Dec. 14, I have celery I want to dehydrate first, lol.
Thank you very much for your knowledge and thorough explanation and comparison.
Happy Holidays đ€đâ
You can do it!
i have made up several of her herb blends and i cant wait to use them as i cook. doing celery today and i joined your membership
Welcome aboard!
Thank you for teaching us. I watched the unpacking of your Cosori hydrator and decided to buy one, love it.
Hope you enjoy it!
I grow up on celery salt, most people know Australian's as chicken salt lovers but we do other salts as wellđ
@Olive Grove. What is chicken salt??
@@camillewing656 a bit of a late reply from another Australian ,chicken salt varies between brands but the one l have is 81% sea salt, rice flour, spices, vegetable powder (onion, garlic) natural flavour, yeast extract, anticaking agent(551) Iâve just copied that of the label
â@@CP-tq3huHi! Just now found your reply while watching this video again!! (A year later!) Thank you!!
This was a very good and helpful video! Thank you!!!
So glad!
I am just learning about dehydrating, thank you for your very informative videos.
Happy to help
Thank you, you explained everything.
I use the core of the celery and the top leaves in my celery soup. So good.
I absolutely love your videos. You are the best on CZcams I think đ
Wow, thank you!
Very interesting. Thanks for explaining why you do certain things. I'm just learning about dehydrating and freeze drying. New subbie here.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank y'all. Blessings, julie
My first dehydrating project, celery. My celery is screaming to be harvested in the garden. I just got my brand new Cosori yesterday. I am looking forward to this. Thank you for your instructions and the visual teachings. đ
Good luck!
Never waste celery or mushrooms now after watching your videos. Thank you!!
I LOVE your videos!!!!!
Bless You!!!!!

I love this. I'm ordering myself Cosori for my birthday in 10 days. I have an inexpensive stackable. I want to choose the temperature. I have a ton of kale and celery and you beet greens. you've given me a great ideas. I want to ferment beets today.thank you so much.
Awesome (happy early birthday!) I don't know if you now about this deal I have with Cosori - but TPP fans get it for $128.99 in the contiguous US! Use code TPP with this link: sl.vesync.com/Bq7trp (This is their parent company).
I dehydrate celery for my soups. I don't blanch it. You did a wonderful video on this. God bless you and your family đđâ„ïžđ€
Fantastic video thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I grow 9 celery each season and dry leaves and ribs separate also. So many uses!! Celery is my fave, Thanks Darcy
You are so welcome!
I tried growing celery last year and it all bolted and was bitter :( I'm in zone 7a
My dehydrator came in today. I'm dehydrating green onions from my garden. I needed to trim the greens from my onions so they didn't prematurely fall over. I hope it goes well! Great video and informative! I couldn't help but notice the black labels on the top of some of your spice jars. I wrote a blog post many years ago about making labels for my spice jars.
I. Want. try order. one next week. What did you decide. I want corsori. Never did this or canning. Still learning. Slowly. On these sites. I watch.
@@vickiegraham4765 I got the Corsori as well. Green onions took about 5 hours. I just put in the second batch.
I cut my celery up and freeze them for stuffing.. it turns out great.. my rabbit also eats the leaves of the celery. He loves it..! Thank you for your great video..
Canât wait to get some celery!!
Thanks Darcy!! I've struggled with dehydrated celery because it never became soft when cooking later. I didn't know you had to rehydrate it overnight. đČ Now, I do!
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.
@@ThePurposefulPantry Yes, I did cook it, for a LONG time and it was still like bitting into an undercooked noodle. Very tough. đ
I needed to see this, thank you!
You're so welcome!
The blanched celery is luminescent. It seems translucent. Beautiful
recipe good thank you for sharing
I am going to do this!! Thank you!!
Hope you like it!
Awesome video! Thank you!đđđ
So nice of you
Lol your cutting skills in fast mode rocks â€
I do my celery the same. Learned from DarcyâŠI add to soups and stews
I have learned so much from you so I would like to recommend a trick to you.
One of my favorite tools in my kitchen is a vegetable chopper. I have the brand Full Star that I purchased on Amazon.
So do I - I use it often.
Enjoyed! đ„Šđ„Źđ„
Thank you so much...you make excellent videos!
I am glad you find them helpful!
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. đđđ
LOL! That's too funny!
Thank you Darcy!!
Any time!
Just what I needed ty
Thank you!!
Thank you
Been doing that and dehydrate whatever would go bad before used.
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 .
I don't have a problem not destringing it - but that's definitely a personal preference.
Youâve convinced me to remove strings and blanch. I donât want to waste my organic celery. đ
I didnt blanch, add to my soup and my family loves it!! maybe look for younger celery when buying it, not the large real green stalks, may help with the strings. so nice not to have to chop every time I need some!! Thank you Darcy!!
Thanks for the tip!
Yes, yes I am. Perfect video đ
Thank you for the info
Any time!
wonderful video
Wish my celery didnât bolt, Deep South itâs a fall crop here but I still tried . I am going to dehydrate my two packs tomorrow plus 2 heads of cabbage .
Hi Darcy, love all your videos. I have a large vegetable garden , and dehydrate often. 1 question I would love to know is how long do dehydrated veg last. Thank you
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.
Optimally 12-18 months like most dehydrated foods.
@@ThePurposefulPantry , Thank you. After my comment I did find where you had answered that same question. I apologize for replicating. Again, thank you. đ
Thank you sharing!
My pleasure!
Thank you. I always waste celery because we don't use it in time. Will try your method!
Hope you enjoy
Thank you đđ»
Youâre welcome đ
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.
Thk u.
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.
So why do you think you might like it better?
@@ThePurposefulPantry The dehydrator takes less time, but think the freeze dried food might last longer and I have no data to support that.
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.
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.
Thanks!
I'm so glad you found it helpful, Gayle! Thank you!
That is very smart, I am going try your tip. I need to buy a dehydrator. Oh I like the white celery because itâs a more delicate taste and texture like white asparagus. Is that is shocking.
I hope you'll give it a try!
Have you ever used rehydrated celery in chicken salad or potato salad???? If so, what is the texture like, or should I just buy fresh for these things. Your video was excellent. Thanking you in advance.
You will have to do it for yourself to know if you're going to like it. It will not be as fresh crunchy celery, but I don't mind it.
@@ThePurposefulPantry I can see that youâre not going to tell us what to do. Haha! We must experiment!
This was handy just wondering if you do celery powder which could be added to juicing?
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.
If you use Baking soda when blanching it keeps its color
