Can you do a video with your oven only
I had weight loss surgery long, long ago. (I have kept the weight off!) I am now prone to leg cramps due to not absorbing enough magnesium in my diet, so I take pills. THIS is how to get magnesium (Swiss Chard and stuff High in it) in the coming days and years. Thank you!
Gastric sleeve here
I buy empty capsules from Amazon and fill with my green powder and take at night. Thanks for sharing 👍
I love this! I currently have kale, Swiss chard, and collard greens growing good in the garden and trying to figure out what to do with all of it. So, glad to see you using those specific three!
My favorite greens that I grow, is Dandellions, wild violet, lambs quarter, sweet potato, swiss chard. Kale, romaine lettuce and beet.
Cool video. Thank you so much, Darci.
I plan on doing this this growing season !
thanks Darcy, another great video, and that cutting board is beautiful!
Thank you for this video. I forgot how I found you, but I am so glad I did. You are very informative and great, my kind of learning! I'm now one of your subscribers.
Really appreciate all your videos. Thank you for sharing with us all.
Thank you again for all your information! I've been putting my super greens, and other powdered veggies in the capsules and I'm definitely seeing a boost in my nutrition.
This looks amazing. I just got spinach to dehydrator.
this is part of my soup powder mixes i been making for over 10 years now,, every thing that would go into a soup goes into making powders
THANKS for the awesome video! It made me realize how much more I can dehydrated vs. Compost! I have been making green powder this same way with kale, Swiss Chard, & collard greens ... and now I'm kicking myself for not using it ALLLL haha.
This is freaking AMAZING ❤️‼️ Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the temp tip! And for this video!
Greens have been one of my favorites! Flakes are a great idea too!
I forgot to chop mine. Oops.
In the dehydrator now. Thank you for the video.
Your videos r packed w great tips! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Such a smart idea with the screen!! I was having the hardest time squeezing all my spinach in lol
Just found your channel super helpful!!!
Welcome!!
This was so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make this video 💕
You're so welcome!
Thanks for the mesh tip!
Happy to help!
Super excited to go grocery shopping and start my dehydration for this powder. Thank you for wonderful tip!
Have fun!
I have learned so much by watching you. Im doing peppers right now. Cant wait to do the greens next.
Last year I dehydrated carrot tops and the lettuce from my garden so they wouldn’t go to waste. Yea need to mix some with my spinach powder that I use all the time.
Wonderful information, thank you for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Love my green powder capsules❣
My husband REALLY goes through them like crazy! :D
Green eggs and ham! 😋🤣. I’ve been making green powder since watching your video 👍🏼
I’m so happy I found you. Jan 2023 you changed my life Omggggggg. I’m so excited to use my new dehydrator ( birthday gift) and I e been binge watching you ALLLLLL DAY 🥰
You got me all excited to do some green powder, it’s such a smart idea! I do love veggies and greens but to add nutrients to foods is awesome. I just dehydrated salsa 💃🏼 and cilantro
Sounds great! Both work great for quick meals!
Thanks Darcy. I have watched quite a few of your videos. I'm thankful for the time and energy you put into creating them to educate others on something you are so passionate about. I'm looking forward to trying to dehydrate some green powder.
You are so welcome!
My BFF-Sister-From-Another-Mister detests dark, leafy greens...but has found a need in her diet for such. You, M'Lady, have just given her another option! Thank you!
Doing this right now as my first thing I’ve ever dehydrated, in my new dehydrator my kids got me! Thanks for the info!
You are so welcome!
There is a relative of yerba mate that grows wild in the Southeast, from around Dallas-Fort Worth eastward. It makes a good tea, much like yerba mate - Yaupon tea.
I watched your video on dehytrating salad greens and, being brought up by a mom of the depresion, I'm always looking to save money, and not waste food. I have started to doggie bag greens from salads at restaurants (they always put a big amount of greens under the fixings). So now I bring them home wash them and dehydrate them. Not exactly free but not wasted.
This is awesome, thanks!
Glad you like it!
Many many thanks to u ! Love frm India ! Good vedio!
I have been watching your videos for the past few days. I was looking through videos on info for vacuum sealing foods. While watching I noticed you making assorted vegetable powders. This is where RUclips videos are dangerous for me. I thought making gnocchis with the different powders would be great. Love your videos. You are very clear and to the point. 👌👍
You’re awesome! 🥰🥬❤️
You too!!
First of all, thank you VERY much for your videos!!! : ) Approximately how long do you dehydrate these greens? Just a guestimate so I will know when to check them. I messed up dehydrating bananas. My first adventure. LOL! However, I am going to try these greens! Hope to do a better job on the greens. : ) Thank you! : )
Super great video am starting my health journey in January 2023 n making my own super greens powder is the best way for me thank u so much.
Ok You sold me! I just bought collard greens for tomorrow and my wife likes kale so now You have got us into powder. You already got us into dehydration! Thanks again.
Note that collards are the easiest green to freeze too; you can cut them into any small sizes you like and then put into container alternating with paper towels, which catch the extra moisture and also help to insulate. They don't break down, darken, or freezer burn, and they can go straight into a salad or quick-cook applcation.
dehydrated vegetables, greens make a great meatloaf
I had been wanting to try some green powder but was not sure what was in it. With your recipe/ diy super greens I do not have to wonder. Thanks
Go for it!!
Oh My GOLLY! Totally doing this! Thanks so much. Do you have a link to your magnet for dehydrating temps? I'm not able to find it. HUGS!
It is in the description box - but here: shop.thepurposefulpantry.com/products/dehydrator-temperature-guide-refrigerator-magnet
Darn! Now I need a salad spinner!
I absolutely LOVE greens, but I have such an overload of them that, if I don't do something they'll go to waste. So glad I came across this video today. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Awesome!! How long can this be stored ? Thanks
Love love the video I am so jealous I so wish I was able to do this I dont have the funds to do it but love watching
Happy rabbit! I bet he loves to see you coming!
She does!
If you go to an Asian grocery store, they have greens and fruits I’ve never seen before. We make a trip to our Asian market about every 3 months and load up.
Love the videos. I have a good size jar of green powder, need to find more uses for it. Sometimes the stronger flavored greens I keep separate. My favorite I found past 2 years with new large Asian supermarket opened are pea tips, for sauteing in soups or dried. Lighter flavor in powder so good for green base.
Nice idea. I grow pea shoots now I have another idea for them. Thanks
@@jeannainnc8390 Pea shoots might work too, the tips are from mature plants.
I love greens, but if I loose electricity, I want that powder. I just got back home from grocery shopping and I watching now. I’m lovin my Cosori!!
Muchas gracias DIOS le bendiga
UGH! I wish I had watched this an hour ago. I forgot to add my green powder to my chili!! I guess I could sprinkle some in when I warm it up for dinner tonight. I keep forgetting to put this in my meals. Thank you for sharing. Always Love what you share. Be safe and stay well. Catherine
You can do it even now (stick it in there in storage - then you don't have to remember on reheating :D
When forget to add my green powder to chili or soup, I simmer greens and bone broth or water in a separate sauce pan. After 20 minutes, I add it to what I forgot to add before. I use a colander instead of grinding. My green powder is chunkier than a powder. That it needs to cook about 20 minutes to be soft enough.
You'd actually be much better off adding it at the end to a cooked meal, since cooking with it will destroy almost all its nutrients. You did it great and didnt even know it ;)!
Love your video I know lots are using a freeze dryer iam 71 and to expensive to buy one so I like to dehydrate
This is a Huge blessing… thank you. I wonder if grape leaves can be done too.
Yes
Another great video.
Thanks again!
I make moringa capsules, that I take every day.
Darn. Now I'm trying to recall...do I already have a salad spinner hidden at the back corner of one of my cupboards...or am I going to have to go buy one? so useful..
You can grow microgreens and dehydrate them as well
Yes you can
I've noted, on the bottom of my Sahara BioChef Dryer, that there are also vents in that section also. So unless that bottom sheet (to catch bits and pieces) is also more of a net type/fairly open weave construction, I'm a bit wary of covering the very bottom of my particular dryer. It came with various types of dryer sheets as well as the gridded trays.
Obviously if there are vents on the bottom you shouldn't cover them, but you can put a mesh sheet on top which will help, or put one underneath.
Just subscribed!
Not an issue - I love my greens, Kale Cabbage, Beans, lettuce - love 'em all.
I call my green powder "Hulk Powder" i think it's rather apt considering all the wonderful stuff in it to make us all big and healthy :)
I add green powder/flakes to every dish.
And why I have I never thought to cut the leaves before putting them in. I usually end up playing tetris trying to get kale leaves to fit on the shelf.
YES! Blanching will also help make them easier to put on trays, but I just find that an unnecessary step/waste. I just cut them all ahead of time and they can mound a bit.
Love this and I've done it for years. I even sprinkle a little on desserts; the taste isn't an issue, because you really don't taste much until it starts to rehydrate and by then it's way past your taste buds. Want to take it a step farther? Ferment your healthy greens, carrot or beet peelings etc., puree, spread the mushy greens very thinly on a fruit leather tray and dehydrate on the lowest setting. Grind into powded again. Because of the salt content, this is my table salt. As it rehyddrates in your gut, the good 'bugs' wake up 😊
But if you're doing it fermented, dry under 110F/43C to keep those healthy bugs in tact.
Wonderful video thank you. I never see carrot tops in the stores, they always sell the carrots bare lol
In most places here, as well. This particular store usually sells carrots with tops on, but because it was the holiday season, they were trying to pack in so much that it wasn't an option this time.
find a store that sells organic produce and you will usually find an option for carrots with the tops. that said, they tend to not be so fresh anyways so why not grow your own carrots?
@@jillz2276 I am. I was just saying that here they cut the tops off.
Wild greens are something I've come to appreciate more and more. In many areas, you can find them in abundance, when they are in season.
Wild mustards are snazingly bountiful in some areas. Even in Arizona there us a Wild mustard species (Sagara Mustard) that is wildly abundant in some areas. You can gather bushels in a few minutes. You can easily stock up for a year's worth. They're pungent raw but nice and mild cooked.
"Green Dean" (EatTheWeeds YT channel) is a good source of information about various wild greens.
I don't see anything about conditioning?
Thanks for your great videos!
It is there!!
Good morning...where did you get the chopping block... I want to invest in a large good one... thank you...
I purchased it from Amazon: amzn.to/3O5HUd4
I'm curious if you've ever dried purslane? I read how nutritious it is and it grows everywhere here. I dried a bunch but haven't used any yet. I had to put it thru my blender for it to dry. The plant is a bit rubbery and was still very wet after 3 days drying it whole! But the slurry dried quickly and powdered nicely too.
I haven't because we don't have it growing in our yard.
my neighbor said in Mexico, they would pick it and fry it in a pan and eat it that way
Quick question on dehydrating. Can you dehydrate black bean or Boca burgers, basically any veggie burger in a dehydrator ?
Generally - they are too thick and too full of fats to do.
When dehydrating, are you losing any nutrients? I just got a casori after watching your review of it. Dehydrating treats for our pet rabbits and beef jerky for us! I really want to do soup mixes, knorr vegetable soup being my favorite, really looking forward to playing around trying to perfect that.
You don't lose most nutrients by low-temp dehydrating; however, you will lose most of what you kept once you apply heat to it. So, best use of something like this is to use in a non-hot application.
powdered greens are great in spaghetti bolognaise
Since you are heating the greens when dehydrating, why do still need to condition them afterward? Also, do you need to condition the pieces if you don't powder them? And one last question, could you condition them in the dehydrator, just setting the temp where you need it?
Thanks for the wonderful vids.
yes - you condition everything after drying. Conditioning isn't a further drying process - it's making sure everything is equally dry and moisture free. So condition everything once dried before you put it on the shelf for storage, regardless if you are powdering it or not.
Conditioning powder is a little different process using very light heat - so yes, you can put it back into a low temp dehydrator or the oven like I explained.
How much does it change the flavor of what you add it to? I’m just wondering because if we don’t like them normally……apologizes if I missed your saying it in the video
As I mentioned, you start small and work your way up. We can add quite a bit before something begins to take on a 'green' flavor, but it depends on the dish and how much you add. It's all going to be such a personal opinion that I can't give an exact amount for an exact dish.
For conditioning the greens, I don't have a full size oven... Would a countertop/convection oven be ok?
It doesn't matter ;) Just some way to dry them a little more - even back in your dehydrator.
Can this be used to make the "green" juice drink that you buy in the store?
No - as that is actually juiced greens and veg. It will infuse and mix with water, but because it's not 'juiced', it is the fibrous remains of the greens (plus nutrients). so it tends to not dissolve the way drink mixes dissolve. But you can still use it s such, just know you may have some floaty bits and some solids at the bottom when you get there - just chug that last drink. If you mean drinks like Ag1 - those are a bit more dissolvable.
Can you use frozen greens for the super green powder
I use frozen vegetables to dehydrate so I’m sure you can use frozen greens and it’s a great idea so thanks! I’ve been doing mixed veggies never thought of greens!
Are you able to collect greens over a month or so and put them in the freezer until you have enough to full up the dehydration
Sure. Or if you're limited on space, just don't run a full machine.
Thank you for the helpful content you share. I have a question. What if I put the greens in blender first (not dehydrated), and then after they have been grinded enough, I can put them in the dehydrator, by using parchment paper. This way the dehydrator could fit in more greens right? Or its not possible to do so?
If you want. I choose not to as it means it's less useful to me in the end.
@@ThePurposefulPantry May I ask why? If each type of green is getting dried, then powdered after anyway? Or is there something I'm missing? Does it mean the greens are less nutrition filled that way?
@@Kayenne54
She said in the video that sometimes she will add a handful of the dehydrated greens to a recipe, rather than using powder.
Grinding after it's dry, gives her the option of setting some aside to use as larger pieces in a soup etc.
You have certainly gotten me interested in dehydrating! But conditioning the powder...that came as a surprise, just when I thought the process was done. What is conditioning for, and is it really necessary?
It helps ensure that the powder is fully dry - after being put into a blender and the heat introducing new moisture, it being out and absorbing moisture more than it's whole form, it's a way to help stop clumping and ensure it's fully dry. No, you don't have to. That's always your choice.
@@ThePurposefulPantry Thank you 🙂
@@ThePurposefulPantry, arrowroot stops clumping. No chemicals needed.
I keep saying when one of my dehydrators dies I am getting one of those. One that i can travel with. :)
Can you dehydrate Zucchini Pasta?
How would I reconstite them?
Are you talking about zoodles or pasta made with zucchini? And yes to both . Reconstitute as you would any food - hot water soaks.
Can we use such method to make microgreens powder
yes!
I’ve dehydrated zucchini, celery, parsley and other greens. Can I add these to the super green powder?
The celery will certainly flavor it a lot. I tend to think of herbs and greens only to keep the flavor more in the generic green state, and add celery to the vegetable. You can certainly do anything you want.
i like to do zucchini as 'chips' - just slice thin (I use a mandolin to slice) and dry them that way.
Hey Darcy - have you ever dehydrated sweet potato leaves? I've heard they were healthy but I can see myself eating them raw or sautéed.
I haven't because we've never grown it. But they are edible and can be used in green powder.
Does the greens powder change the taste of what they are added to?
Yes, they are still greens after all.
It's a matter of experimentation.
If you add them to something with a strong flavor of it's own (like chili), it won't be as noticeable.
Also the amount of green powder will make a difference. Start out with a little bit and gradually increase until you reach a place where you don't like the taste.
Fruit smoothies can hide the flavor pretty well.
Do you find by making it turn into powder that you cause more question and they don't last as long even thou u put it in airtight jars?
Never mind. U answered.
I want a spinner now. What salad spinner is that?

Hi, I'm new at dehydrating and am wondering how long to let these dehydrate at 110 F ? Thank you!
As I mentioned - until dry and brittle. I can't give you a time - don't go by time - go by when the food is dry. It could take 6 hours, it could take 12
@@ThePurposefulPantry Thank you for responding! I've got some chard drying right now. :) Thanks for your videos. ...much appreciated!
What do you think about dehydrating microgreens?
Do it. Just dry them below 110F
If these powders were put in capsules, how many capsules would be needed for a daily dose?
It depends on the size capsule you use. And what do you mean by a daily dose? 1 cup serving? all your veg? ;) ruclips.net/video/WFI24leX0fo/видео.html
Can you hang dry kale and Swiss chard?
it's my understanding that any sort of greens or herbs, you can do that, but you run the risk of them molding and such before they are fully dry. i just did basil in the dehydrator and was quite surprised how long it took and still some pieces were not fully dry so i gave up and tossed those.
Trying to find the list of greens one can try .. and it is not clear in the "... more" links list which is it? Nice web site.. I "pinned" it and will be checking it out.. more.
Not sure which 'more' links you mean but here it is: www.thepurposefulpantry.com/homemade-green-powder/
When you say keep things whole you are referring to after dehydrating ans making the powder correct? I am very "green" to this and I chop stuff small before dehydrating to help with drying. Am I messing with shelf life by doing this?
The more you process, the less shelf-life things have. So whole = not powdered, basically ;) You don't want to try to store whole kale leaves that are dried as they can be monsterous. Broken down is fine.
@ThePurposefulPantry Thank you so much for clearing that up for me, and thank you for sharing your knowledge. God Bless
I totally missed the ‘redry’ the green powder part….I made a little bit a few months ago and it seems ok. (Doesn’t stick to jar or anything when rotated) I did put an oxygen absorber in the jar. 😬 Should I be worried about it?
Nope - I just wouldn't bother with an O2 absorber that has to be replaced every time you open the jar.
Will this work with kamatsuna?
If it's a leafy green, it will work ;)
