in old Chinese herbalist medicine they say that a banana is the first thing that should hit your stomach in the morning, i cant remember what it is for but it sure is tasty Potassium 😋😋
Ohhh yes I love this!
Anytime I've had to go to the hospital or I was sick, I had low potassium. Now I make sure I eat at least one banana a day
The sugar in there isn’t worth the potassium. Leafy greens have way more. I haven’t had a banana in five years. Keto life. Lol. I sorta miss them tho.
@@trixieknits exactly correct.
Fun treat: Nilla wafers on trays, pipe a dollop of vanilla pudding, then put slice banana on top. Freeze dry. They taste like mini banana cream pie bites. Delish!
Looked at my colonies the other day, got bumped on the face, put on a veil. LOL . Love Aldis. . Hope you had a Happy New Year. . 2023 will be a great year. . .
love aldis too! got my first bee house on the way, and excited to order bees. Your so blessed to have them to enjoy.
Happy new year!!!!! The girls weren’t too bad, but just wanted to be safe!
We just got a harvest Right freeze dryer about 2 months ago and I have to agree bananas are phenomenal freeze dried. I also really love strawberries too. We also freeze dried chicken livers and squash from the garden to make a dog treat that we freeze dried for our dog Jack and he absolutely is going crazy for them! I am thinking that freeze-dried dog treats would be a great business that I'm considering going into or at least trying out. I also think freeze dried fruits could be ground into smoothie mixes as another great business possibility.
Saving up
My husband got me a freeze dryer for Christmas. It hasn’t been delivered yet. Freeze drying leftovers into DIY MREs is probably what I’m most looking forward to. I love to cook, but it would be great to reduce our food waste and have convenience home cooked meals on the shelf.
I hope to afford a freeze drier one day. But I am absolutely in love with my cosori dehydrator. And yes my favorite fruit to do is bananas.
I just got my first dehydrator for Christmas! Not quite a freeze dryer but so excited
Ohhh I love my dehydrator! Try fruit leather!!! Soooo yummy!
I really really need one of those!!💜
You should try putting figs in it they are to die for once freeze dried but there is one problem with them and that’s you’ll never be able to do enough to save any. You’ll want to eat it all straight away. Xx
Love your videos!!
Looks awesome
Each day more beautiful, more and more!
Great find SoilSista... We love freeze drying banana especially being we grow them. So good for snacks, smoothies and flavoring. Delicious and definitely better than candy 🥰 I freeze dryed ice cream sandwichs, my husband said it's like eating cereal 🤣
Ohhhhh I’m soooo jelly!!!!!
Jeremiah 29:11 KJV
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Lol I LOVE cereal too, its my go to snack/dessert. I can eat a box if I don't control myself.... lol.
That is awesome on Freeze Drying bananas. I have dyhrated them before.
Really GOOD FOR YOU for not using chemicals. I haven't watched enough of your videos to know if you don't use chemical fertilizers. I know that once you're away from from insecticides, herbicides, etc.... you're probably better off to go no-dig completely because you leave all the microbiome in the soil healthy. Even the simple act of using natural additives can be a negative thing for your plants and soil if you dig.
And the work is easier once you get into no-dig because you're never turning soil.
You could stack another layer of bananas on your trays just separate with parchment paper. I do.
Great idea!
Great video, I love my freeze dryer I bought thru your link last May, I'm on load 125 now. I would love for you to show how your organizing all your freeze dried food! I have tons of jars and bags everywhere!
That’s awesome!!! Thank you 😊 for using my link! What’s your favorite thing you have done so far!
That would be a great video. I'm struggling with that too. Those bags take up a lot of space!
I love the fd bananas too’
BLISSINGS GODDESS ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I think a freeze dryer is in my not too distant future!
My favorite FD fruits are honeycrisp apples and raspberries. Just fyi chocolate just melts in FD, try chocolate pudding instead.
I just did a cheesecake in my freeze dryer. So good. Took awhile but worth it. I have a large Harvest Rite. My kids love taking stuff to work to share. Cheesecake has been a hit. Lol. My experience with chocolate is a mess. I did snickers and 3 musketeers and Milky Way bars. The messiest things I’ve ever done. Globs of chocolate on the pans.
Ohhh droooooling!!!!!!!
FYI - Chocolate is on the list of items not to freeze dry in the harvest right booklet.
@@CALAISmylove I’m aware but I did chocolate bars just to see. Loved the nougat centers though
@@lindamickel8545 owww, I didn’t think about the inside nougat part! 😋 Maybe refrigerate bars and cut the outer chocolate off (nibbling on it of course) 🙃 and just fd the inside nougat? I may try that with some snickers or milky ways. Little chunks would be good with ice cream. 😋
@@CALAISmylove May work better now with the candy setting but I think it melts when the warming of the trays happens.
How many hives do you have. Whew that looked like a lot of bees. What, who and where would you recommend a beginner go to for more information and purchases on starting with bees? I love your channel, but I watch it mostly for the herbs. I bought a bunch of seeds this year and am hoping to get started with medicinals. You are an inspiration. Thank you.
We LOVE our freeze dryer and when you show it we learn so much. Would love to see how that tomato soup hydrates.
We've gone through several batches of freeze dried bananas in the past couple months and they make a great healthy snack. I highly recommend it. I also make homemade yogurt and you can freeze dry them into a silicone mold to create a shape or you can freeze dry the yogurt on the big tray and then you'll have like a powder consistency. Both are great ways to preserve your yogurts. I'm also wondering if I can take some of that freeze dry yogurt powder and use it as a starter for my next batch of yogurt. I'm going to give it a try very soon.
My grandparents kept bees and actually kept a few hives on their back yard patio near the back door. Most of the time they left you alone. Every now and again there'd be one bee that really didn't like me for some odd reason and would chase me back into the house. Most of the time they were pretty chill. You could stand next to the hives and they wouldn't mind. I used to scare my friends and adults doing that. As long as you weren't messing with them, they'd leave you alone.
really enjoyed the way that you made the banana sweets. hope you have a great day and year. thanks for posting the videos.
They do look good. I watched a programme where they gave bananas to young humans & chimpanzee's orangutans & gorillas . They all peeled the bananas at the other end of the stalk, like instinct was telling them to peel it from that end. But most humans when given a banana are told to peel it from the stalk end by their parents when they are learning. I now peel mine from the opposite side to the stalk & it seems so much better. The only apes that peel bananas from the stalk end, are captive apes that have been bought up by humans. Same with apples. Humans bite from the side but apes will bite from the opposite side of the stalk. It was a fascinating program.
Ohh wow! That is fascinating!
@@TheHoneystead there are lot of videos on you tube & monkeys & apes are so fast at peeling them compared to humans. You should have a look & give it a try. I have & it just seems so natural.
Fun Fact: If you peel the banana in the direction the moneys do, you won’t get any of those banana strings when you peel the skin off. :) Animals do know better!
I have a freeze dryer i for this past year from harvest right and I love it! Have tried icecream sandwiches and that was such a fun gift this year to give people. The Tillamook brand is amazing! Give it a try its fun to take those with you!
I appreciate you showing new things like this on your channel! Very informative
I knew you were going to say bananas!! I actually really like dehydrated bananas bc they're sticky and sweet like candy
Ohhh yes!! That’s yummy too!
I like beaver
I love how you think before you speak without saying hum...... I am very bad at that.
Ohhh it’s a struggle sometimes!
Yum 😋
Thank you for sharing! Where did you get your metal funnel? Can you share in the description please?
I haven’t tried them yet …but they look really yummy 😋.
Oooooooo chocolate
Ok I'm in 😁
I’m freezing pickle juice in bars to freeze dry. They say it’s good on hamburgers!
Wow!!!!!
When you say click on the link down below for discounts or the freeze dryer. I don't know where the link is on my phone. I'm not stupid just new to this
Winter time will do that plants and house bugs when you need them. Maybe they think you are a hungry Bear out for a winter snack...freeze dried banana's and banana bread...go for it.
Bananas and chocolate yum yum. The way your choosing to live is so healthy for your body, mind and soul. Most cereals are filled with toxic chemicals. Please don't eat them people. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 to you, your family and all of your animals
i noticed on the harvest right they have a pharmaceutical thats better for plants and herbs and then the reg freeze dryer . so was wondering if you got the regular one the pharmaceutical ones alot more expensive
I freeze dry the peels too. Lots of nutrients. Use as powder in shakes
You know what.!??! That is a great idea!!!
Oh, wow! I had no idea you could do that! Do the peels taste like bananas? Are they bitter?
@@Romans828girl Not really bitter and it smell like bananas ( as they should lol). I use the powder in my shakes.
@@jenzadork4u Thank you so much for this. What a great idea.
I'm thinking you're going to have better consistency with chocolate AFTER the banana is freeze dried.
But I'm willing to be 100% wrong if you would keep us updated on your results!!
I was worried it would reconstitute with chocolate 🤔 might be worth a shot!!
Ohhh, I see...
I didn't think about that.
I was just thinking that doing it before-
I was worried the layer of banana touching the chocolate would stay kinda thick, or gummy?
Of coarse, I have no idea!
If only there were a way to have a super thin layer in between the chocolate and banana, that would harden, and still not absorb too much into the freeze dried banana...
Oh! Would honey do that???
Oh!
Ohh!!
OHHH!!!!
WHAT IF YOU FREEZE DRIED THE HONEY???
You MUST'VE tried that by now!
Right??
WHAT happens to honey in the freeze dryer?!!
Ok, Here's my BIG idea:
what if you were to paint on a super thin layer of honey to one side of the wet banana.
THEN freeze dry it,
honey side up.
THEN a layer of chocolate ON TOP of that now crispy honey layer!!!
O.M.G. !!!!!!!
Sounds SOOO GOOD!!!
@@gardengatesopen honey doesn't freeze dry
@@Rachel_1983
ohhhh.
I did not know that.
Well.
There goes that idea then.
@@gardengatesopen This is just the cutest comment thread. Your enthusiasm is infectious.
My concern with freeze drying chocolate would be the fat content. I tried freeze drying pepperoni slices and it was a disaster. I realize pepperoni has a lot more fat than chocolate does, but I'm gun shy now. Did I mention that it was a DISASTER?!
Kaylee, how do you store that bag of freeze dried bananas that you just sealed? In a pantry? Or in the freezer?? I’m new to freeze drying. 😉
You can store it in a pantry. Feels weird, doesn't it?
I didn't see her put an oxygen absorber in that bag, but I bet she did. I would.
Haven't seen you for a while!
How have you been? Bees good?
@@TheHoneystead mmmmh, beees mostly okay, but I lost 2 which I JUST set at at someone's place (AG Exemption)....I don't know how I missed those. No biggie, I'll put 2 more out there.
Your bees look great!
I still can't believe I lost those 2.....ugg. Lots of honey fermented too (small hive beetles slimmed them out).
Going forward, I'm going to start cranking out as many nuc boxes (I'm going to just 5-frame boxes) out of 2x12 material. WAY better insulation than what I've been using...and best of all, free!
I have seen a freeze dryer in tractor supply was looking at it and they are a little pricey, but I guess it would probably pay for itself eventually
Put a few of those banana chips IN the cereal you love!!!
I’ve got a random question for you- I’m in the uk and we have a different wattage number, would it still be the same freeze time or would it be less in the uk?
😮😮😮😋😋😋🥰🥰🥰
So yummy
@@TheHoneystead looks good. I want one but very pricey 😬 maybe one day
Hi, do you and your mom grow medicinal herbs to sell?
If you cut the bananas up before freeze drying, would it make a nice cereal? Is there a min size each piece should be ?
Chocolate does not freeze dry well. Trust. I’ve tried it.
Have you tried more of a whipped chocolate? I heard that works better!
I haven't tried it to confirm but everything I've seen says chocolate doesn't freeze dry.
There are chocolate dipped freeze dried strawberries available on the market so it may work to dip them after running the bananas.
I did hear that as well, but I did hear that whipped chocolate does!
@@TheHoneystead I've never even heard of whipped chocolate 😂
I guess I'll have to look into that one.
Chocolate doesn't freeze dry very good.
So I heard if it is more of a whipped chocolate it does better! What do you think?
So a freeze dryer is better than a dehydrator? I've always dehydrated alot. And it stores on the shelf or freezer?
There is really a limited about that the freeze dryer can do vs the limitations of the dehydrator.
@@TheHoneystead So do you recommend I get a freeze dryer? Im almost 70. Your bananas look alot more edible than my hard as rocks dehydrated ones.
My goal is most definitely to get my own freeze dryer! I know you are an affiliate for harvest right (and I think they are incredible too), but I can't afford one like that in this point of my life. Do you have any other recommendations?
Thank you so much ♥
We got our freeze dryer about a year ago, and at that time, Harvest Right was the only one on the market. There is now another one, but I don't know anything about the quality. I watch other RUclipsrs who suggest going in together with at least one other family to buy one, and then sharing it. One lady I watch bought one, figured out how much it cost per day to run it (including part of the purchase price, wear and tear, oil, electricity, etc) and her neighbors pay her "rent" by the day to use it. I guess she estimated how many batches a freeze dryer can give in its lifespan, and divided it out. I thought that was a creative way to share the cost.
@@Romans828girl It is so creative!! I really appreciate your helpful response back, taking the time to help. Thank you again💓
Chocolate doesn't freeze dry, it melts. It is made of fat ( cacao butter in it), and freeze dryer only removes water. Just sharing... you can try yourself, it will be a chocolaty mess to clean up. 😉
I was thinking I would try more of a whipped chocolate!
is there tax on bananas?! that's just wrong
Who has that kind of $ to buy a freeze dryer?
Or cinnamon... Sprinkle cinnamon on your banana 😋
Ohhhh yum!!! Maybe peanut butter 🤤
@@TheHoneystead I have a feeling that you'd run into the same problem with peanut butter as with chocolate: the fat content.
Only $7 of bananas... in a $3000+ machine. 😜
It is an investment, but over the time… I’ve save a lot on food!
Yes, but store bought it would be $40 for same bananas. Doesn't take long to recoup cost. I'm dreaming of it!
A $33 savings in one 24-hour batch. Do that 100 times, and your machine has paid for itself. Keep it running all the time, and that's 4 months. After that, the savings are just dropping your grocery bill. A freeze dryer is a way to save over the long term. Also, it's not only about the savings. A freeze dryer preserves more of the nutrients than a dehydrator, so your preserved food is incrementally healthier. And some things, when dehydrated, are hard for some folks to eat. Meat turns to jerky. I've browned and freeze dried hamburger. What I get when I throw it into chili is exactly what I get when using fresh hamburger. And in the meantime, it's in a bag on a shelf, rather than taking up space in a freezer, and in danger of spoiling in a power outage. Lose one freezer full of food, and you'll see how quickly a freeze dryer can pay for itself.
Freeze dry and then dip. Your chocolate will not make it.
I'd love to have a freeze dryer as the freezer can get packed.
I wanted to try to freeze dry meatballs and Violet (my pup) wants freeze dried bacon 🐶
@@TheHoneystead btw, the affiliate lonk you provide has the cheapest price for the smaller unit after doing comparisons.
Oh my gosh freeze dried blueberries sound crazy good
@@TheHoneystead Be careful with bacon. Animal Fat is not good for freeze drying and bacon is very fatty. Just a thought.
