I just wanted to share a little tip that I do for myself. I tuck in a piece of paper inside my jar of dry items against the glass with what is inside and the date of canning or vacuum sealing in case an outer tag fades or falls off. I also add directions inside my vacuum sealed items such as pre mixed dry ingredients for cake, biscuits, stuffing, etc.
Thank you Darcy!!! When you said you put it in waffles my mind EXPLODED!!!!! I am going to try doing savory waffles and topping with turkey taters & gravy like an open faced sandwich!!!! Thank you for your inspiration & creativity!!!!! ❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️
Thanks for sharing my Granddaughter & Great Niece love there Vegetable, they will eat that and not so crazy about Meats 8-7-2021. I Tell you this is so Valuable for people to know I wish I would have known this 40yrs ago
OMGOODNESS! I totally forgot I bought this attachment LOL! (Upon your recommendation) I I recently started dehydrating onions, mushrooms, and made. Kale 🥬 powder. Now I just need to “seal” them. Gonna definitely try those frozen shredded potatoes 🥔 God bless you for all your great advice, simple teaching & how you encourage us to try different things. 👍🏼
I am new to dehydrating. This is such a great idea. I am definitely going to do this. I would not have thought to dehydrate the powder. Thanks so much for the tip.
I love your dehydrator videos so much information, and I just got my dehydrator journal Tuesday and magnet!!! I have been dehydrating like crazy. I also just got my second dehydrator which is the Cosori. Now I'm dehydrating sour cream so I can have beef stroganoff with my dehydrated ground beef/turkey. Next will be ground beef/turkey
This is an AWESOME IDEA!!!! Thank you, so much! This way I can make use of my garden veggies AND have a easy way to get nutrients into my family’s food without them really knowing! Win-Win!!! 😁👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much for showing how to do that. I hadn't even thought of veggie powder! My mind went to what all I can sneak it into, and wishing I had known about it when my kids were young picky eaters. My future grandkids are going to benefit from this. :-)
I need this especially for mushrooms & kale…I have intestinal issues from surgery & can’t eat as many fruits & veg as I need or like but still need the nutrients. This is such a great video/ idea. Thank you!!!
I show stuff on IG some, but honestly, I just toss them in recipes I do - nothing really special (and I'm not a great cook - so you'd be bored quickly ) ) But think bout making meatloaf...put in 2 TB veggie powder or green powder .. and add a little tomato powder. That's how I really use my powders. But I'll think about doing something. Thanks for the suggestion. BTW..ideas are always on the blog posts.
This was wonderful. I’m new to your site and am not familiar with the tool you used on top of the white tool to seal the lid. I just purchased the set of small and wide lid seal tool. But I only know of needing to use my food sealer. Your tool was so easy and handy. This was easy to follow instructions. Thank you so much.
I'm new this year to dehydrating and would love to make my own onion or celery powder from my own dehydrated veggies. I don't have a food processor but have ordered a magic bullet as I think it will be handy for many things. I how to be able to do my own powder like you just did, what a great tip to rehydrate the powder.
Definitely! and it's so easy to do! If you need help .. www.thepurposefulpantry.com/how-to-dehydrate-onions-onion-powder/ www.thepurposefulpantry.com/dehydrate-celery/
Great video, Darcy!! I crush some of my dried veggies and make my own instant soup mix. Add tomato powder and it's awesome. Never thought to grind finer and add to pancakes and waffles. Will definitely be trying that! Thanks a bunch!! :)
Darcy, this is perfect. I didn't realize you can place powder in a dehydrator and when I powder anything I place it in the oven that is slightly warmed. I also add some herbs to mine when my garden produces lots. I love your idea of adding it to baking. GREAT idea. Thank you so much.
Put heaping T. plus in cookies recipes cakes. Add a 1 t.over kids ice cream then add their favorite topping to cover up ,when cooking oats , sprinkle over your tomato soup, mix in pizza sauce plus many more
What are your thoughts on adding some onions to something like this to make an instant veggie broth instead of bouillon since we're watching our sodium. Thanks.
Hobby Lobby. They were in the area where they have baskets and shelving and drawers, etc. I'm not sure if they still carry them, but they were about $3.99 each (less with your 50% off coupon!)
Hi there, Thank you for all these wonderful videos. We are just starting to dehydrate food. Your influence has prompted us to get started. We dehydrated some vegetable stems from our kale and Swiss chard garden. How long do we put the dehydrated power back in the unit for? Thanks so much!!
Not for vegetable powders because it's generally not needed. But I do mix a little arrowroot powder with onions or garlic powder. www.thepurposefulpantry.com/keep-dehydrated-powders-dry/
I can't wait to try this to get my picky eaters to eat more veggies. When you mentioned putting this in pancakes and waffles did you turn to look and see if your kids were around to hear?
My kids know that I do it. I don't hide things from them. It's been that way since they were wee kids. They just know it's a part of what we do. They only complain if the eggs are too green.
When I grind anything I take the jar and blades back off the motor and give it a good shake then put it back to finish. I find I don’t get as many of those random pieces that aren’t ground finely that probably got stuck under the blade.
That Ninja did a great job for you. I need to get one. Great idea to add paper on your dehydrating trays. Didn’t know you could dehydrate power because of the fan. Love the great info. Hugs❤️
If I don’t need the extra drink cups what do I order then ? I think my fan will blow this around because it blew some of my tiny food around. I’m going to order one
I dehydrated a very large amount of mixed veggies. I wasn’t using those veggies I dehydrated so I made veggie powder. I have a 1/2 gallon of veggie powder. Would like some recipes on how to use the powders . I also used frozen mixed veggies. I also made carrot powder, onion powder, mushroom powder, and green pepper powder mixed with red peppers. I made my own chili powders with dried mex peppers. I added anticaking packs to the mushroom powders and onion powders. One recipe I use my veggie powder for is Hamburger steak. I add a tsp. To my pattie, with some onion and garlic powders. But I need more recipes.
I have no recipes to use it. Just use it. A tablespoon or two into meatloaf, into soup, make it a soup base (veg powder, hot water, spices, etc.). I put it in every savory dish I make, and in some not so savory (like pancakes and waffles, etc.) There is no magic to this - just add it to anything you're already doing. Pasta, bread, etc.
Dizzie Chef, if I may add some suggestions: dehydrated bananas, strawberry, blackberry/wild blueberry/rhubarb, or other non sticky fruits are good added in batter/pancakes/waffle/French toast/puddings/cakes/pies/muffins/desserts. In any mixture that is being cooked or baked. Powdered vegetables: add to breadcrumbs/fillings that have to be cooked or baked. Sprinkle directly over hot cooked pasta/mashed potatoes: tomato powder, garlic powder, bell peppers, onion powder. Or: add powder while baking potatoes to fillings/scallop potatoes/ cabbage rolls. Powdered cauliflower/broccoli/carrots and many more, are tasty in meatballs/meatloaf/etc. For fresh salads you can use dehydrated and powdered cucumbers, lettuce, bell peppers, parsley, celery and many herbs. The main thing to remember is that some vegetables will stay and taste gritty when used in un-cooked/baked dishes while others will be fine using right after being powdered. Dehydrated, powdered dill pickles for example makes tasty dip when mixed with yogurt or sprinkled on home made popcorn. Many powders are great mixed with cream cheese to use as a spread for breads/toasts/English muffins or crackers. People have different tastes and all you could do, is to make small amounts of whatever, and try yourself 🙂 In my kitchen for example, nothing gets wasted (meats get into freezer and used later on as fillings for croquets/chicken breasts/perogies/mushroom caps etc. Leftover (fresh) salads/cabbage/cucumbers/lettuce and any mixed vegetables ends up in dehydrator as long as there is no dressing on it, or meat, and re-used in one way or another, and not necessarily in powdered state. Many, I just vacuum seal in a glass jars no absorbers added as many powdered fruits/vegetables will cake up. It's best to powder small amounts you'd use in a month. It works for me without any issues and maybe...it might work for you too? Have fun, as the sky is the limit 🙂
@@incanada83. Thank you so much for the ideas. I’m using my powders more now. I’ve made a lot of chili powders to use when I make Mexican food, chili or my tamales . It is fun. Now this is my hobby to come up with different uses for my powders. I found a channel to make homemade mixes . Then you add milk or water and have a great soup, gravy, an Augratin, or cheddar veggie soup. Many uses TY
Of I was interested in making my powder crunchy, like in a cake form. Would the dehydrator do this as well? If I packed it down while it was still hot?
The Purposeful Pantry ok. One other question what if I was using a binding agent like, potato starch, tapioca or a root starch. Nothing else just starch, could I create a crunchy thicker cake this way thanks 😊
I got a 700 watt Ninja because of your videos. Did some cilantro powder - it is fantastic. I notice you have what looks to be jars of powders in racks on the wall. Do you put the powders in those racks in the light?
Yes - those are my daily use herbs and spices. I have no other place to keep them, and hate having to back and forth into the pantry. We go through them a lot, so I don't worry about the light.
@@ThePurposefulPantry ok. That is a great place. Keeps them neat and readable. I'm looking at one little wall I have where I might be able to do that. My lazy Susan in my corner cabinet broke, I think I have too much weight on it! I need another space for some of that stuff.
Great video! I’m excited to get into powders. I’m weighing the pros and cons of vacuum seal vs moisture absorbing packets. Do you recommend any particular brand of moisture absorbing packets?
Darcy, I dehydrated frozen kale and then ground it with my Nutribullet into powder and kept it in a plastic bag and then put it in a jar and have been conditioning it for over week now. I didn't know I had to put it back in the dehydrator. Right now the kale is in a jar with a silica bag. Should I toss it?
Can vegetable powder be used as a broth? My friend is vegan and instead of making the slurry then dehydrating it (or buying vegetable bouillon) I’d like to use vegetable powder from my pantry for a vegetable soup mix for her. Thank you!
Newbie here. Was wondering if it would work well to take veggie powder and mix with a little flour and use to dredge chicken etc. Or use like a Mrs. Dash on roasted chicken
@@ThePurposefulPantry thank you for your answer ☺️ i tried with carrots stored at 50 oC for 8 hours, and then i put them in oven 100 oC for 3 mins, it turned out to be crunchy not hard, so i thought i can eat them directly
Yes you can, but it doesn't dissolve because it's the fiber left over. So if you want to sip only stock, you'll have gritty bits. If you are using it as a base for another dish, you'll never notice it. You are infusing those leftover vitamins and flavor back into water, so it's not quite as strong as straight stock, so use a little more powder to adjust the flavor as you want.
Mix it with as much liquid as you want your soup to be - including spices, creams, etc. So think in terms of 1 TB powder being approximately equal to 1 C fresh- how much fresh would you use to make soup - and go from there.
I powder almost everything, and use a NutriNinja (bullet blender) to get everything that way. Almost all vegetables can be powdered and most fruit as long as you dry them very well.
I just ground up some of my dried mixed veggies, potatoes and onions into a mix. In dehydrator now. My question is, can this be used in dips or add seasonings for something like Knorr veggie mixes? I love your videos and the wonderful knowledge you’re sharing with us😃
Absolutely! I just did a post on doing a French Onion Dip powder that is fab - and any version of what you are talking about would work! play with your food and see what you think about it - and then try it again. Just remember, that those mixes usually have a lot of sodium, so you'll have to take that into consideration when taste testing and adjust accordingly for you.
I just wanted to share a little tip that I do for myself. I tuck in a piece of paper inside my jar of dry items against the glass with what is inside and the date of canning or vacuum sealing in case an outer tag fades or falls off. I also add directions inside my vacuum sealed items such as pre mixed dry ingredients for cake, biscuits, stuffing, etc.
I've often thought of making vegetable powders because I've heard a lot about them, but I never knew how to use them. Now I can make AND USE them!!
Glad it gave you some ideas!
Thank you Darcy!!! When you said you put it in waffles my mind EXPLODED!!!!! I am going to try doing savory waffles and topping with turkey taters & gravy like an open faced sandwich!!!! Thank you for your inspiration & creativity!!!!! ❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️

This is awesome! I just did my very first dehydrating project last week and it was frozen mixed veggies! I never thought to powder some! Thank you!
I use this more than I ever use the dehydrated vegetables - this goes in EVERYTHING!
This is so awesome thank you! I have some mushrooms and spinach in the dehydrator now. Im so excited to hide veggies in kid food!
Great spinach idea!
I chose artichokes & Brussels sprouts!!!your making me think hard now!!! Thank you!!! ❤❤❤
Hope you like it!
Your tips are really helpful; especially the one about turning off the dehydrator completely before removing the vegetable powder. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

Wow great trick with the paper clip to make a corner. Thanks so much!!!❤
I am new to dehydrating. This is such a great idea. I am definitely going to do this. I would not have thought to dehydrate the powder. Thanks so much for the tip.
It just helps remove any last humidity from the powder before storing - helps with clumping, and it is a version of conditioning.
This answers the question I had on another of the videos. I didn't realize how finely a processor could pulverize dried produce.

What are your thoughts on adding some onions to something like this to make an instant veggie broth instead of bouillon since we're watching our sodium. Thanks.
sure. There are low sodium/no sodium bouillons on the market, too.
How long could this last in an air tight jar or if this was canned?
Thanks for sharing this.
I like your documentation.

I made pea powder and I was wondering is there a special way to rehydrate them for a simple creamy soup?
Mix it with as much liquid as you want your soup to be - including spices, creams, etc. So think in terms of 1 TB powder being approximately equal to 1 C fresh- how much fresh would you use to make soup - and go from there.
I new at this dehydrating, how do you know which veggies or fruit to put into powders, or powders that are not very fine.
I powder almost everything, and use a NutriNinja (bullet blender) to get everything that way. Almost all vegetables can be powdered and most fruit as long as you dry them very well.
What about bananas?
very helpful
Glad you think so!
What is the tool you use to seal the cap?
Food Saver attachment -- links in the description.
Can I use my vitamix to pulverize?
Yes you can!
Thankyou very much
Most welcome
I have to comment on your animal shadows, very nice!
Glad you like them! :D
I just ground up some of my dried mixed veggies, potatoes and onions into a mix. In dehydrator now. My question is, can this be used in dips or add seasonings for something like Knorr veggie mixes?
I love your videos and the wonderful knowledge you’re sharing with us😃
Absolutely! I just did a post on doing a French Onion Dip powder that is fab - and any version of what you are talking about would work! play with your food and see what you think about it - and then try it again. Just remember, that those mixes usually have a lot of sodium, so you'll have to take that into consideration when taste testing and adjust accordingly for you.
I wonder how it would taste, as a coating on meats chicken/pork chops?
There's not a lot of taste -you'd want to season it up.
Hey! Saw you on Freedom HS LIVE and subbed you. Take care!
aww - thansk a bunch!
How do you use these powers?
Is there any way to make a veggie puree using my veggie powder
Mix it with water until you get the consistency you want. Allow it time to absorb.
@@ThePurposefulPantry Thank you.
