OHP, Heidi getting sassy again! Lol love it. Hey you guys ask questions instead of telling this legend she's wrong. She ain't dead, she knows what's up
I powder up dehydrated onions and garlic. I caramelize the onions in a little bit of water in the slow cooker first. Then I save that broth for soups, etc, dehydrate the onions and make caramelized onion powder. It is absolutely delicious! I'm done buying onion and garlic powders!
Oh wow! What a great idea to caramelize the onions. I'm gonna have to try that. I just roasted some tomatoes in the oven for a bit and then threw them in the dehydrator. They taste sooo good!
@@onefourthacreprovidence I haven't powdered any of my tomatoes flakes. The first time I saw Heidi's video on dehydrating the sauce I jumped the gun and cooked up a bunch of tomatoes and then dehydrated them. Now I'm just processing them in a blender and dehydrating the liquid.
I’ve powdered some items- eggs, greens, peppers, yogurt and garlic. I plan on doing others items so this is a good reminder of different things to consider. Many Blessings!
I just realized this morning that my stupid editing program decided to do its own thing again with three of my photos and I did not catch it. That weirdness with the stretched out photo behind the other photo is not my doing and I did not catch it before producing. The only way I can fix it when it does that is to shut down the editor and reboot and it does that so randomly, it is quite bizarre.
It is NOT a person, it is program. I am the one that does the editing. If I was talking about a person, I would never have worded it that way. I just edited my comment so others will not be confused.
Thank you, thank you, for this. Ive learned so much from you and watch/rewatch all your videos. I have been dehydrating and powdering ever since I found your channel. You are amazing! God Bless
Thanks Heidi! I showed my sis the tomato flakes a couple days ago. She doesn't grow tomatoes because she just doesn't use them that much. The flakes will work splendidly for her.🙂 Blessings! 💜
Ahhhh, thank you for reminding me to buy pumpkins. You can make your own celery salt by dehydrating or freeze drying then powdering celery. You then add salt.
Powdering certain veggies because some may not like the cooked textures is a great way to add the flavors. For instance: my family does not like cooked celery for the most part, so adding powdered celery adds the flavor without the chunks and saves prep time by not having to dice it so small they can hardly tell. Okra, also unliked, makes a great soup thickener plus adding flavor.
I’m just learning that I can dehydrate and powder many different things. I powdered my cut off pepper ends and stems, onion ends and skin and cut off tomato ends , mix them together and make my own seasonings. I’m waiting for my fire cider to finish curing and I’ll be powdering that. I even powder juice if I don’t use it up before it goes bad. Natural food coloring I never thought of that. Thank you.
When we purchase half beef I always powder the heart and use in my rice to add protein. My kids like eating my rice alone and I always make sure they are getting protein. I just dehydrated beef liver (turned out great) and will be adding to anything I make with ground beef to add iron and those extra nutrients (and hide the flavor).
I knew there was a reason I was holding onto this big beef heart!! I tried making it once and just got way to frustrated with it - trying to cut around all the arteries and such. Did you just slice it up and dehydrate it?
Wowww thank you for sharing this. I love eating chicken lover and hearts. I usually buy front the store, but my husband and kids are not fans and was thinking of ways to sneak it into our food without them noticing. Powdering it is a good idea. I'll definitely try it. Did you cook first, or dehydrate raw?
Hello Heidi! Awesome video and tips on powders and more! 👏 I used my cherry tomatoes sundried in olive oil and hot peppers from garden in vinegars! Also, dehydrate hot peppers then grind for spices! Blessings to you & family!💝 🦋10/21/2023🦋
I powder mixed veggies, (carrots, celery, onions, garlic, peppers etc). I add this to stews, casseroles, dips and anything I possibly can to add extra nutrients
While I prefer not to powder my mixed greens, I do use them in all the things you mentioned plus even add them to homemade meatballs, gravies, meatloaf, hamburger patties, and much more
I dehydrate lots of things too and powder them like herbs and vegetables .also when i juice fruit and veg I dehydrate the pulp as i hate waste so even if there's not much nutrition in it i can still use for thicker in sauces ect. The skin and seeds of any tomatoes that i put thro the food mill i also dehydrate and powder . Live watching your channel i have learned so much
I have started dehydrating and making powders too. My favorites are cheese, eggs, yogurt, pumpkin and sweet potato! Thanks for sharing. You are amazing!
I made a great seasoning by dehydrating my fire cider scraps. It is spicy and flavorful. The flavor is surprisingly versatile. I seasoned black bean tofu to add to a vegan gumbo.
Thank you Heidi for showing us what we can do. I would love to make the cream cheese and cheddar powders and some of the vegetable powders. I am interested in how you make your natural food colorings as I am allergic to several of the artificial colorings whether in foods or medications. I will look in your playlists. Thank you for sharing your vast acquired knowledge and experience. It is appreciated and also encouraging. Thank you for all you and Patrick do.

Great info. I use coffee filters, wrap around the lid just to get the z”folds” then place the filter inside and wipe my Tim’s and add the lid and vacuum away. I recently powdered mandarin orange peels. Smells great!
I do the same with my carrot and other greens though this video was specifically about those things I prefer to powder and I do not powder my greens: ruclips.net/video/w2oeewjIKsQ/видео.html
I'm just starting my journey in dehydrating the parts of plants I typically don't eat. As an economical way to get specific nutrients onto my diet. But first I need to clean out and organize my pantry areas!
Hey Heidi 🙏 I noticed Zach from An American Homestead gave you a shout out about Freeze dryers and why he won't buy or review one. Regards from Australia 🦘🦘
Once again, another great video. I do LOT of dried spice mixes yearly, from our homegrown veggies and herbs, here on our homestead/mini-farm. Keep up the good work(s.)
Hey Heidi! I just love when you show us what we can do with the powders! I have had brick tomato powder, and I would not get it out of my jar, so I had to take hot water to get it out. I don't powder it anymore. Heidi, I am liking the A2A2 milk to use and now this time I orders A2A2 powder from Azure. I can't wait to use the powder milk. 😜Love it DUH 🤣 Thank you Heidi, for another great video.
Great information as always 🦋 the only thing for me when people talk about dehydrating and especially freeze drawing which I would not do is the cost of the electricity, things have to run from ours and I'm not sure what wattage that they pull, but I do understand that vine, dehydrated or freeze dried is much much more expensive, but if you look at the cost of doing it yourself there's pros and cons to both actress today. I keep getting my power bill down more and more every month and really only use about $30-$40 worth of power and I live in Florida for a month. It's the surcharges in the access charges and the surge protector on the meter and then the one light I have outside because I'm on 10 acres. Otherwise it's pitch black out here there's no street lights, no roads except a very tiny one that connects one major road to a bat country road, which is the way I like it. if there was a way to do it outside in a humid climate, I've seen videos where you can definitely dehydrate outside by Heidi. And what they call our winter which we rarely get in North Central Florida, I don't if the temperature in the 70s is enough to really dehydrate may be under Eyeglass or I guess if someone had a son oven or something like that or something they built it could be dehydrated and I would have to look into that. But great video is always great information and do love the idea about using for flavoring of foods🎉 blessings from Florida 😎🌴 be safe and stay vigilant 🙏💕🇺🇸🎃
Freeze drying uses far more electricity than dehydrating especially when many can dry foods without any electricity like I often do late fall through spring, or, as you mentioned build their own solar oven for drying during the sunny months. One can even dehydrate in their car with the windows cracked on hot days or make their own drying racks very cheap. I cover much of this in this video: ruclips.net/video/1SIYUAHAGPc/видео.html
I'm excited to finally be trying some powder making! I live with my sister and despite trying to explain that a dehydrator doesn't use as much electricity as she is thinking it does... and even though she said it was ok to do.... the one time she heard it going she mentioned it costing money. So... I don't feel like I can really use the dehydrator here and I have been bummed because we both want to prepare with food storage, etc. I got a kilowatt meter and my boyfriend said I can run it at his place. I'm looking forward to this "experiment" and I plan on recording my data so she can see the real data. Then I am also going to look at how much the powdered things I make cost at the local store as well as on Amazon.
One can always also just run it as much as you can for a month and do a comparison on the electric bills and pay her the difference. Though this is a test better done in summer where not as much electricity is being used, it may be harder to tell the difference as we enter into the colder months and more heat is being used each month
I had thought of that as well. We had our first snowfall yesterday. My boyfriend’s apartment will be a better place to run the test because electrical use is very low all the time there.
I would be interested in your findings about the cost of dehydrating. If you know the cost of the electricity per KWh (should be on the bill or on the power company's website) and the wattage of your dehydrator (should be on the label on the bottom ) x the estimated number of hours to process, you should be able to determine the cost to dehydrate a particular item. Google for the formula. As for me, dehydrating would add too much to my bill but I enjoy Heidi's videos and do buy some powered goods, i.e. beet powder.
@@MiLittleCorner seems like it would cost more to buy powedered stuff than to run the dehydrator. Had a hiccup with my priority list so I haven't been able to get to it yet.
According to my anticipated usage, it would have added about $50 to my bill. I could have calculated less usage but didn't see the point in that since I would want to get my money's worth out of my investment. I hope you get your dehydrator soon and get lots of use out of it. Thank you for your reply. @@caydancebloom
Have you ever heard about liver tabs. You cut up the liver into tiny pieces (about the size of a tablet) and flash freeze them. We just pop one in our mouth and swallow it. I know it sounds gross, but it's frozen! I bag them up and keep in the freezer.
@@Kay-du4llThis might be a duhh question, and I’ve heard of doing with other unpleasant food etc but do you cook the liver first? I’ve only really worked with herbs and plant life etc, trying to expand (I know some things are ok raw like Heidi explained on the eggs) but this made me really think lol Thanks bunches!
@@hoosiermama72 Not a dumb question at all - I should have mentioned that we take them raw. Back in the day, people used to eat raw liver to get their iron up - actually told to by doctors! You wouldn't see that any longer today. My grandma had to eat it but they didn't have the luxury of being able to freeze it during the summer months. But now you got me thinking that I could dehydrate them instead of flash freezing. Hmmm....
I once vacuum sealed yeast in a glass jar and found the little beads of the yeast stuck in the jar sealer lid groove, had to pick each one out with a pin after.
Have you ever grown citrus bergamot? So many cool benefits and great lemon substitute. We have similar growing environment so looking for any tips it tricks to be successful with citrus here.
Thank you God unto all things. Great video Heidi. Nice variety of powders. My favorite is pumpkin. There is a pumpkin roll recipe which is so good, wondering if somehow powdered pumpkin could be substituted? I have lots of lemon balm and verbena, have you ever dehydrated and powdered them? Also I have lemon grass, needing TLC, wondering if that too could be powdered. So many ideas to produce powders. Thank you for sharing yours with us.
I noticed that you had some spaghetti squash with your pumpkin. We like to use spaghetti squash as a noodle replacement. Any thoughts on how to preserve the "stringiness" of it. We've found that we can keep them for about 9 months whole, so I'd be interested in methods to extend that in some way. It's been a while since I've been to Forks, spent several seasons in LaPush, and still love the area. Thanks for what you do!
I think the only way to preserve the stringiness of it is to just store it fresh in cold storage. The cooler the area, the longer it will last. Most squash can last for quite a few months even in a cool room. I have dehydrated spaghetti squash just like pumpkin but of course powdering it does not preserve that stringiness though I suppose one could lay it out on the dehydrator trays and not mash or powder it when done, not sure how well that would work for rehydrating
If I were to dehydrate ginger for ginger powder, should I peel it first? I have loaded up on greens powder this year and I make tomato powder from skins only and have not had any clumping.
I like to dehydrate diced onion. Then when I use it, if I want powder, I grind it up then. but I usually just rub it between my hands to get powder and some bigger pieces. I may do the same with garlic, but I'm using up a bunch of granulated garlic first.
I dehydrated some eggs then put them in my food processor. How do you keep the egg from being gritty after you add water. I mixed 1Tablespoon of egg to equal amounts of water.
I am new to dehydration. So far only done hot peppers 🌶, tomatoes, cucumbers 🥒. How do you dehydrate liquid things like eggs 🥚 for example? I got my unit at a thrift store for $6 its a Nesco American Harvester . All the shelves are plastic trays that are open grids. Obviously that would not hold eggs 🥚. I love the idea of dehydrating some to use in baking. Thanks in advance.
If you check out my dehydrating playlist that I linked in the description box as promised, I have how to videos on many different specific things including eggs, milk, yogurt, and much more. Make sure to click on the word "more..." that you will see just below the video screen to open the description box and find all my links
Wow...what perfect timing!! Yesterday I was searching all your "powder" videos and watched all of them I think! And I literally said "WHAT!" out loud when I saw your grinder with the cup that's removable. I'm using your link to get one today. Mine is old and kind smells like the motor is burning up... 🙃 (edited to add...you don't have a link. Can you add one for the grinder?) I do have one question that doesn't really fit under this video, but....have you tried any of the Azure Standard Market powders? And are you still using any of the Hoosier Farms powders?
Sorry about that, I miss things sometimes: amzn.to/3Qhvlig Yes, I am using both Azure and Hoosier Hills. My last powder I bought from Azure was beet powder
I believe I cover that in that video but they should keep indefinitely if stored properly. I have been storing some for a couple of years now without problem
@@RainCountryHomestead Thanks, I'll look for the video, I get lots of fresh eggs, have some frozen, waterglassing my second gallon of them,and then I dont want to over waterglass eggs although I could

@@Kay-du4lldid you powder the tomatoes? I'm wondering if the canned tomato sauce I made can be dehydrated, too.

Dehydrated cherry tomatoes make best "sundried" tomatoes. They are so sweet for a pasta pine nut dish
I’m at the dehydration phase of preservation.
I like that this video focuses on the things you can make.

I love regularly l-scheduled Heidi … but it makes me chuckle when spunky Heidi makes a quick, guest appearance 😁
Celery powder is my absolute favorite! I also dry the leaves from celery and just store them in a jar to crumble into soups and such.
I’m snacking on my herb, dried sliced tomatoes as we speak! Some people of fruit leather, but I’d rather have these! I have both, so it’s a win-win!😊

I do not think it i necessary if you are going to powder it anyway and I never skin my tomatoes, ever, I use the whole thing to make the flakes
I can never keep my onion powder from getting hard and my garlic powder got hard this year
I like to dehydrate diced onion. Then when I use it, if I want powder, I grind it up then. but I usually just rub it between my hands to get powder and some bigger pieces. I may do the same with garlic, but I'm using up a bunch of granulated garlic first.
I have so many butterfly pea flowers - how do I dehydrate and powder them? What temp?
Same way you would any delicate herb: ruclips.net/video/Bca3thmL0MY/видео.html
I dehydrated some eggs then put them in my food processor. How do you keep the egg from being gritty after you add water. I mixed 1Tablespoon of egg to equal amounts of water.
Did you try cooking them and they were still gritty?

my dehydrator doesn't have solid trays. What can we use when dehydrating liquids? Sorry if you covered this i can't remember.
That is all covered in the videos I have in the playlist that I linked to on liquid items such as milk, eggs, broth and more
I am new to dehydration. So far only done hot peppers 🌶, tomatoes, cucumbers 🥒.
How do you dehydrate liquid things like eggs 🥚 for example? I got my unit at a thrift store for $6 its a Nesco American Harvester . All the shelves are plastic trays that are open grids. Obviously that would not hold eggs 🥚. I love the idea of dehydrating some to use in baking. Thanks in advance.
If you check out my dehydrating playlist that I linked in the description box as promised, I have how to videos on many different specific things including eggs, milk, yogurt, and much more. Make sure to click on the word "more..." that you will see just below the video screen to open the description box and find all my links
You need inserts for the dehydrator trays.
What is “working through “? I’m new to your channel, don’t understand this statement, thanks!❤
Working through is the same as using it, like you would use flour from a canister.
I like to powder Jack Daniel's and Coca-Cola
😜
Really? Jack Daniel’s? Or are you pulling my leg, Joe?
Thanks.😊
@@susanwoodcarver, when the SHTF... This is probably the second thing you'll most want to have by your side! 😂
How long do the powders last?
Should last indefinitely if stored properly
Wow...what perfect timing!! Yesterday I was searching all your "powder" videos and watched all of them I think!
And I literally said "WHAT!" out loud when I saw your grinder with the cup that's removable. I'm using your link to get one today. Mine is old and kind smells like the motor is burning up... 🙃 (edited to add...you don't have a link. Can you add one for the grinder?)
I do have one question that doesn't really fit under this video, but....have you tried any of the Azure Standard Market powders? And are you still using any of the Hoosier Farms powders?
Sorry about that, I miss things sometimes: amzn.to/3Qhvlig
Yes, I am using both Azure and Hoosier Hills. My last powder I bought from Azure was beet powder
@@RainCountryHomestead HA! Just like I do....missing things in your videos - we're all human. And thanks for the recommendation on the powder!
How long do ur eggs powdered keep?
I believe I cover that in that video but they should keep indefinitely if stored properly. I have been storing some for a couple of years now without problem
@@RainCountryHomestead Thanks, I'll look for the video, I get lots of fresh eggs, have some frozen, waterglassing my second gallon of them,and then I dont want to over waterglass eggs although I could
