Ive been collecting weeds, hibiscus, mulberry and other goodies for winter but air drying is impossible in Maryland’s humidity or at least taking way too long for my lack of patience lol. So I bought this monster which will be here Thursday https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008OV4FD0/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20
I make a lot of veggie and fruit chips for the kids and I as well as jerky and my old dehydrator was just too small. So this bad boy isnt all Skurts but I’m trying to read up on dehydrating weeds and flowers for him with few detailed results.
Do you rehydrate or can you dry and crumble over their winter greens like a topping or both?
Which is preferred?
What is the best way to store his dehydrated winter stores?
Do I need a vacuum sealer for mason jars or can I freeze small portions and simply thaw?
Does it get all funky and mushy thawed?
I wish my grandma were still alive she canned, dehydrated, and jarred everything!! It was the ONE thing I swore I’d never do “cause it’s not the Great Depression”. Now I feel like a moron cause my kids love real jerky, veggie chips, and fruit but because I was making such small batches I never had to think of storage....those fools eat it ALL within three days.
