I dehydrate slices too and put them on my husbands sandwiches in winter: the mayo on his sandwich mostly rehydrates it but mainly he says it has true tomato taste.
OMG! I have never seen anyone use the handheld to vacuum seal jars! I am SO bummed I didn't see this BEFORE I bought the big FoodSaver machine to do this! :( I already had the handheld. :( I am very disappointed in FoodSaver for lack of advertisement on their website on what the handheld does and also better advertisement with the vacuum sealer lids and how to use them with which methods/machines. Where I live I have no storage space everything is on wire shelving. I research everything for days and weeks before I purchase and never came across this. I just love you and your videos. Thank you so much! You are a great teacher and I am old enough to be your mother! LOL :)
Ill tell ya anyone who is a true (enjoy-er 😂) does not mind you taking a break. most of us are busy mommas to so we totally want you to take care of yourself first. it is much easier to maintain health than correct bad health, mental and physical. sweet blessings from omlahoma. it is the joy of my day to watch you're videos ❤💙💚. I appreciate the time you take to make them for us.
My husband makes his own spice mixture, it’s an all around mixture that we all use in many meals, in it he uses tomato powder, it’s one of the main ingredients it’s that flavotful
I never heard of tomato powder but my hub has. He’s cooked for a living for forever. He also comes from a southern family who canned all kinds of stuff.
if you let them go a little longer and get them really super dry it helps with the powder not sticking so much....great video hope your feeling better soon
Got a coffee grinder coming in the mail tomorrow. Making tomato powder from tomatoes is going to be one of the first things I am going to try! Thanks for showing your results.
I have been using a food saver for sealing food in bags as well as sealing canning jars airtight for over 25 years. Always handy in a drawer and ready to use in my kitchen. Mades dehydrating and preserving food soooooo much easier (and WAY cheaper than using oxygen absorbers) I cannot imagine life without one. I had no idea that little hand held thing sealed lids too.... very nice! 😊
I really like canning tomatoes. I save the peelings and dehydrated and powdered them. There is no waste and I get my canned tomatoes and powder. I enjoyed this video. Thank you.
I did the same thing last year. I also did mushrooms. I made a mixture of tomatoes, onions, garlic, mushrooms and celery powder to season soups, stew, etc.
Is there anything you can't do! You amaze me and make me want to learn and do what you do. :-) I have got to get me a dehydrator and food saver. In the videos I've seen, the food savers have a clear cord that hooks on the food saver and into the hole on the lid. Love all of your videos. You should write a book on canning, dehydrating, spices, etc. I would def buy it. They teach me so much! God bless you and all you do.
Hi, I too make all kinds of powders! Kale powder is awesome! Tomato powder is so delicious especially if you use it in the meat juices when you add green beans to a roast. Adding the powder makes a gravy for the entire meal and it is luscious! It's a great way to sneak in extra veggies. You can thicken your soups as this powder will thicken as well...gravy consistency! I imagine every dehydrated veggie can be powdered. Dehydrated peppers, like cayennes I drop into my dills and bread and butter peppers...snap a whole dehydrated cayenne pepper with peppercorns and turmeric into your dill pickles along with fresh dill. These pickles are delicious and beautiful! Isn't canning fun and delicious for you and your family?
Love it momma! Just a little tip for powders, to get all you can out of your container, I dump it on parchment paper then use it as a funnel. I am sure you have seen it done before. Prayers for your shoulder! Sure hope that collagen is helping, can't wait to hear. God bless!! XOXO
NICE!!! I'm a newbie to gardening & having a channel. I just got a dehydrater & haven't had time to play with it yet. I enjoy watching others like you to learn from. I LOVE your personality, so THANK YOU for making others smile & laugh. Keep being you.... I just subscribed. 🤗🤗🤗
Watching your videos and others have really inspired me. The one on making our own brown sugar late last night ended up with my ordering a packet of 2 sugar bears. Today, I am going to dehydrate (yes, my dehydrator sat in the garage the last few years) but it’s being put to use now!! Heading out to the market today to buy red bell peppers, celery, tomatoes ... thank you so much ... I thank all of you and those that make the comments and suggestions, as well.
Great video, Heather! My cherry tomatoes have been going crazy and I was cherry-tomatoed-out until I thought about powder and found your video. I have just 3 trays going on my dehydrator that hopefully will be ready to be pulverized tomorrow. I have more tomatoes on the vine so will be out in the garden harvesting as soon as our weather clears. So happy not to be wasting my tomato stash - I all but have them running from my ears!! Thanks for sharing!!
Nice job, Heather! Never apologize for your breaks; between Matt's new job, new house, moving, pool, and entertaining the littles over the summer, you've had your hands full sistah friend! Take care!
This was a wonderful video!! I started dehydrating this past summer, and I was thrilled at how much I could put into quart jars, any vegetable I dried!! I was able to put 5 1/2 bunches of organic celery into a one quart jar!! Now I will tackle all of my dried tomatoes, and powder them!! Thank you!! You and your children are in my prayers, you sharing about the accident had me in tears, I am so sorry for your deep loss!! Blessings in your healing process!!
before i dehydrate my tomatoes i put in boiling water to remove the skin which i dehydrate seperat as i add to a mill with pepper corns and other dehydrated skins which makes a very very tasty pepper for meals and extra vitamins
I made tomato powder that way a couple of weeks ago, I love it, great video 😀❤️🌸 also a trick with the small mouth lid, put two lids together, when finished you take off the top lid and the underneath lid should be sealed 👍
I'm canning tomatoes as I watch you. 3 bushel and 3 more if the frost holds. Never have dehydrated anything but I can see the benefits of more tomato flavor. Good luck with your canning/dehydrating.
I have done this, I have used skins off the tomatoes when I canned whole tomatoes. The skins are used just like the powder. Well done and thank you for sharing. Hope your arm feels better soon!
Still praying for miracles for you and your family, Heather!!! 💕 I ran across this video as I’m considering purchasing a dehydrator. I saw another video where the lady dehydrated celery and made celery powder and she ground it up in a coffee grinder and it seemed to come out perfect. Less volume to deal with and less weight on our bodies...easier clean up too. Love & prayers!!! 💕 P.S. do you reseal your jars each time you use a little food from them, and if you do, can you reuse the rubber rim lids?
I just canned homemade tomato sauce for the first time yesterday. Used a Victorio grinder for the tomatoes. Then I dehydrated the skins, etc. Am finishing up canning more sauce today. Then I'll make the dehydrated stuff into tomato powder. Thanks for this vid. Came at the perfect time. I can't believe that after canning only cut up tomatoes and pickled beets (using water bath system) for over 45 years, I'm venturing into new things. I bought a pressure canner and am really enjoying canning new stuff. I also recently bought the Foodsaver vacuum system and the Excalibur dehydrator. Blamed it all on these YT videos! :-) Even the comments for this video are so helpful! At first, I was upset that my husband continues to plant 20 tomato plants. What on earth??? Now I'm like...hmmmm...maybe you should plant more next year! We've had a garden for over 45 years! This is just way too much fun! Thanks again for taking time to make these videos. I pray your shoulder pain subsides...and also that you'll realize you need to heed the warnings and rest it. By the way...I don't see the references to the two YT'bers channels that you mention in this video. Am I missing it or did you forget? :-)
I just dehydrated plums. I made your pancake mix and it was wonderful. I had tried two others and we weren’t impressed. Good job! A L your recipes are delightful. Thank you.
Been waiting to make some. Canned my first batch of diced tomatoes from this year's garden. Knew I wanted to watch your video on the "how to" for this powder!
Heather about 25 years ago I had some "Tomato Bread", it was so delicious, very summer savory bread. I've been looking for a good recipe for it for a long time, maybe you will come across one for your powder. Just a thought.
Lol, your so Cute* Good luck with trying just once. When you start your garden you will be hooked. We ended up planting 16 Roma's, lol and that's not including the other Varieties. You need to try roasting some and freezing. Or store in olive oil in fridge. You did a Wonderful* job Heather* I don't use Absorbers eighther. I use my Seal- A- Meal as well. Another fun* thing to dehydrate is chilies. I do them in slices. And also ground into powder. Some my family back home can't have the store bought powders because of the salt etc. I used to make and mail them some powdered chilies for seasonings. You will find so many options , lol 🤣 HUGS*💞🦋 I HOPE YOU HEAL COMFORTABLY ♥️
Thanks for sharing Heather. I learned about tomato powder from Mandy as well last year! I made some & it really adds nice flavor to everything, I use it mostly in spaghetti sauce & chilli. Due to such a hot summer here, I haven't canned or dehydrated anything, but as soon as the weather starts to get cooler, I'm canning & dehydrating on a weekly until I get my pantry restocked. I have tons of produce from my garden in my freezers. When you have your garden, you're going to really enjoy having fresh veggies anytime, I love it! Hugs from Virginia 😙
Holy crap Heather ! When you said you were gonna go watch deadpool 2 with the kids I spewed my pop everywhere......lol.......totally knew what you meant but so caught me off guard.....hahahahahahaha........as usual love the video.....quit apologizing for those gorgeous babies being so happy....music to this grandmas ears !
Here in Wisconsin I do alot of dehydrating. As soon as i finished watching your video I bought the vacuum sealer from Amazon. Just what I need. I've been storing my dry foods in the freezer or taking a chance and storing in a jar hoping it doesn't go bad. Thank You
I used my food processor, which did not like the abuse. I will try the vita mix. I had grown some tomatoes I didn’t particularly like, they were a little bitter. Drying them brought out their sweetness and that was the best idea I had to pulverize them. I used it carefully and it last 2 years. It does benefit to. Moisture packets being stored with it. It is so great to add flavor!
I love tomato powder use it at least once a week, last week I made broccoli and cauliflower, and asparagus powder I use it to pump up the veggie content in baked crackers, muffins, etc. Sorry to hear you are having issues with your shoulder. I have fibro as well and have had injections in several areas and for me one shot and my pain was gone too bad they are not a permanent fix.
when doing flours and powders you need to cut a coffee filter use the canning lid for the pattern once the powder is fully loaded carefully put the coffee filter on top of the powder then do like normal this keeps the particles from flying into the motor kills the motor ask me how I
Thanks for sharing how you do this, I’m new to dehydrating and very excited to try all kinds of things. I can as much as I can and this is just another way I want to save food.
I love vegetables powders... especially tomato and celery powder... I do pumpkin powder now instead of canning it. 1/4 cup of powder to 2 cups boiling water makes 2 cups of pumpkin purée! It saves waste. I can never use a whole jar of canned pumpkin.
I love making tomato powder! And also that nothing goes to waste when canning tomatoes! Im sorry your shoulder is giving you such problems, rest up mama! 😍
I just want to let you know I tried something because of your dehydrated tomato video. Got to thinking you know we cooked tomatoes down to make sauce and that’s even more concentrated than the tomatoes why not try dehydrating tomato sauce and I did it it takes longer than the tomatoes do you know it makes such a deeper redder sauce than just a straight dehydrated tomatoes and an even better powder! Just wanted to give you that little tip so take it for what it’s worth mama hope you’re well Take care
I know pain as I have bad arthritis and a brain trauma. You take as many rests as you need. I love ya sistah and I have missed you but your health is most important. Sending prayers and love your way.
I am so excited that I have turned on because I really hope to support you in your recovery but most of all my dear you've inspired me with simple things. I'm so excited about dehydration I've always loved doing it but I'm looking at yours and I'm going to have to invest in a much better dehydrator. I'm going to have to invest in a much larger hydrator than the little thing I have. I'm thinking of trying a airfryer oven combination when it's a larger ones that are square so I can do more at once. Thank you again for this video
My handheld vacuum sealer instructions say to take off that clear reservoir on the unit to use with the jar attachment. There is a little plastic knob sticking out and it fits in that hole in the attachment. Maybe check to see if yours says that. Thank you for sharing. I love tomato powder!
Dude.... love the video! I just watched Mandy’s tomato powder video a few days ago- you guys have inspired me to try the tomato powder! Wish me luck! 😉
Great idea.. I will be getting me a dehydrator. Which one do you recommend for someone just starting out? I would love to make my own onion and garlic power.. lemon powder.. gosh the ideas is endless.
I didn't have fresh tomatoes but I dehydrated cans of stewed tomatoes that I got on sale. Omg I love it!! Now just sad I didn't buy more cans while on sale but regardless I'll buy them at reg price...its that good because I'm cheap lol I have used so much of it & it's only been about 3 weeks. Ohh & I did some marshmallows...I wanted to eat all 10oz of them crunchy goodies. LOL Now marshmallows are on my shopping list with the tomatoes. 😏😂 love Mandy too as I do you
Heather: I used coffee filters cut to fit my jar attachments. It will prevent any powder from being sucked up into your vacuum sealer. I don't know if the one you have is actually strong enough to do that but a regular vacuum sealer will actually suck the powder up into your machine.
What-a great idea! To my knowledge, the handheld doesn’t suck up the powder BUT i just bought a vacuum sealer off of fb marketplace from a local mama in my area. I need to buy the tubing. This is a great hack to prevent that if I ever use my big machine! So thank you!!!!!
Please do not have shoulder surgery I had three of them and they ruined my shoulder and it's a hundred times worse so keep up with what you're doing and don't have surgery
The best way to get the juice out of the tomato. and use it as a V8 drink this also help cut down cooking time and make a thicker sauce. is to Freeze them, then let them thaw out, by blending them let it set. All of the juice will come out of the tomato. Don't throw the juice away, Freeze it back for V8, and things even soups > i use the skins and seeds in my sauces and things. To get more vitamins ~ Its silly to go threw them and throw them away
Miss Heather, I just want to kiss and hug you! This morning, I took the plunge. I made jam for the first time. Strawberry, plum, apricot/papaya. No pectin in any of it. They turned out Beautiful and Fantastic!
I take my patio screen off lay it across two chairs wash it and put sliced tomatoes on that in the sun for two full days of sun. And then grind… Works great
Hey, watched your tomato powder segment yesterday and loved it. My question is, Can I Dehydrate regular, (meaning a basic no-taste store bought tomato), dehydrate it and get the flavor factor of a heritage tomato. I know that sounds like a stupid question but my Drill Instructor told me 59 years ago that there are no stupid questions. Semper Fi.
I can hardly wait till tomatoes start ripening this season!
I use tomato powder when I make spanish rice..... It's has an amazing flavor....
Pam says- Check out green tomatoes. Powdered green tomatoes could make salsa Verdi.
I dehydrate slices too and put them on my husbands sandwiches in winter: the mayo on his sandwich mostly rehydrates it but mainly he says it has true tomato taste.
Good idea!
Pam at Rose Red Homestead did and said the same thing! Can't wait to try it!
Great idea!

Mushroom powder is the best in everything! I love this video Heather.......thanks.

Dehydrated tomatoes crumbled on salad , hoodie, pizza....yum yum

I really like canning tomatoes. I save the peelings and dehydrated and powdered them. There is no waste and I get my canned tomatoes and powder. I enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Patricia Lee I do the same with the peelings. I hate waste.
Patricia Lee I tried to make tomato powder once, but it got clumpy. How do you keep this from happening?
So smart! Thanks for the tip!
I never thought of doing that with the peels. Thanks for sharing.
I did the same thing last year. I also did mushrooms. I made a mixture of tomatoes, onions, garlic, mushrooms and celery powder to season soups, stew, etc.

I love to dehydrate! I have the vacuum sealer for wide mouth and hope to get the smaller one! tfs!
Tomato powder would be great to have in the pantry. I'm going on the search for tomatoes tomorrow. 😊
When I want a cup of tomatoe soup I add a couple of tablespoons to hot milk an it great with a grilled cheese sandwich
carolyn moody . Do you add a bit of sugar for the acidity
Super great idea!!
Everybody needs a break,please don’t apologize. Enjoy your videos
thank you, Diane!!!!

I have done this, I have used skins off the tomatoes when I canned whole tomatoes. The skins are used just like the powder. Well done and thank you for sharing. Hope your arm feels better soon!
And who doesnt love Mandy?! she is pocket size and seems like she could be feisty ❤. I love watching her videos.
Oh my goodness girl. I am just learning so much! I got to try this and Red Bell Peppers also.
I love tomato powder. I also make pumpkin powder out of thinned pumpkin purée. It makes the best pumpkin pancakes!
Pumpkin powder!!!!!!!😍 ok i need to make this!!!!!!
@@TheKneadyHomesteader it's super easy. I followed our half acre homesteads directions. Amazing!
I did too, pumpkin muffins too
Whoa great idea!
So smart! I love all these no waste tips!!
Maybe next time use a pastry brush to brush all the powder goodness in the jar ❤️
Praying you and your family up, sweet Heather! :)

I love the smell of mushrooms. When they have been dehydrated.
Hello ma'am. Thank you for the video. Hope you feel much better. Love from Nigeria!
I love making tomato powder as well. I have done onion and sweet pepper powder as well. So much fun and great for recipes. Thanks for showing us.
Yes! Gardening videos!
I love making and using tomato powder. When you need to add a little zip to a recipe or even need to thicken something up. It great to have.
Its the best! 😁
Been waiting to make some. Canned my first batch of diced tomatoes from this year's garden. Knew I wanted to watch your video on the "how to" for this powder!
It's my new favorite thing! Love my tomato powder
Heather about 25 years ago I had some "Tomato Bread", it was so delicious, very summer savory bread. I've been looking for a good recipe for it for a long time, maybe you will come across one for your powder. Just a thought.

Good luck with trying just once. When you start your garden you will be hooked. We ended up planting 16 Roma's, lol and that's not including the other Varieties.
You need to try roasting some and freezing. Or store in olive oil in fridge.
You did a Wonderful* job Heather*
I don't use Absorbers eighther. I use my Seal- A- Meal as well.

Holy crap Heather ! When you said you were gonna go watch deadpool 2 with the kids I spewed my pop everywhere......lol.......totally knew what you meant but so caught me off guard.....hahahahahahaha........as usual love the video.....quit apologizing for those gorgeous babies being so happy....music to this grandmas ears !
😂😂😂😂 yeah i was like, i should clarify that! Watching it with my teen and 22 year old! 😂 not the babes. They went to bed!
Paint brush for sweeping the powder.
I love tomato powder too, I also make red bell pepper powder, I wouldn't be with out them
Wow i need to make that!!!!!
That is a great idea I can hide that in my food and the kids wont complain about it lol
Sharron, what do you use the red bell pepper powder in? Sounds very interesting!
I add it to my pasta sauce, pizza sauce, tomato soup
😱😱😱 wonderful idea!
Here in Wisconsin I do alot of dehydrating. As soon as i finished watching your video I bought the vacuum sealer from Amazon. Just what I need. I've been storing my dry foods in the freezer or taking a chance and storing in a jar hoping it doesn't go bad. Thank You
Ann you will love that gadget!!!!
I use this powder in bbq rub, it gives the rub a whole new dimension to the taste...it’s fantastic!!!

Thanks for sharing how you do this, I’m new to dehydrating and very excited to try all kinds of things. I can as much as I can and this is just another way I want to save food.
Thank you Heather. Never even thought about dehydrating tomato skins!
Loved the video!!
I did tomato powder yesterday as well as vegetable bouillon. My gas stove has a dehydrate feature that's amazing! I'm looking forward to apple season!
What brand of stove? I've been curious how well dehydrator features work on those!
Also I use a coffee filter with a little rice an tie.. But it on top
I love vegetables powders... especially tomato and celery powder... I do pumpkin powder now instead of canning it. 1/4 cup of powder to 2 cups boiling water makes 2 cups of pumpkin purée! It saves waste. I can never use a whole jar of canned pumpkin.
Well Heather Im Headed back to the farmers market tomorrow to grab 50 pounds of potatoes 😳🙄. Canning continues.
Cool. Thank you for your video. Your powder looks great. I grew tomatoes and will try this myself.
I love making tomato powder! And also that nothing goes to waste when canning tomatoes! Im sorry your shoulder is giving you such problems, rest up mama! 😍
I love dehydrating. I'm about to do a bunch more soon.

Just wanted to give you that little tip so take it for what it’s worth mama hope you’re well Take care
I know pain as I have bad arthritis and a brain trauma. You take as many rests as you need. I love ya sistah and I have missed you but your health is most important. Sending prayers and love your way.
Thank you!! Saved to my recipe playlist 😊
Just added this to my "to can/dehydrate/stock up on" list!
Extra great video girl. Thank you. I totally forgot about the tomato chips. I'm pulling out my dehydrator today yummmm❤❤❤
Thank you Heather! I gotta get back into dehydrating!!
I am so excited that I have turned on because I really hope to support you in your recovery but most of all my dear you've inspired me with simple things. I'm so excited about dehydration I've always loved doing it but I'm looking at yours and I'm going to have to invest in a much better dehydrator. I'm going to have to invest in a much larger hydrator than the little thing I have. I'm thinking of trying a airfryer oven combination when it's a larger ones that are square so I can do more at once. Thank you again for this video
My handheld vacuum sealer instructions say to take off that clear reservoir on the unit to use with the jar attachment. There is a little plastic knob sticking out and it fits in that hole in the attachment. Maybe check to see if yours says that. Thank you for sharing. I love tomato powder!
Dude.... love the video! I just watched Mandy’s tomato powder video a few days ago- you guys have inspired me to try the tomato powder! Wish me luck! 😉
Yay!!!! I cant wait to hear how it goes for you!!!!😁👏🏻
Binge watching and sending you some sunshine ☀️
Those look really beautiful
Great idea.. I will be getting me a dehydrator. Which one do you recommend for someone just starting out? I would love to make my own onion and garlic power.. lemon powder.. gosh the ideas is endless.
This looks sooooooo good Heather! I can almost smell it lol
Another thing I want to try! Thank you for the presentation.
I didn't have fresh tomatoes but I dehydrated cans of stewed tomatoes that I got on sale. Omg I love it!! Now just sad I didn't buy more cans while on sale but regardless I'll buy them at reg price...its that good because I'm cheap lol
I have used so much of it & it's only been about 3 weeks.
Ohh & I did some marshmallows...I wanted to eat all 10oz of them crunchy goodies. LOL
Now marshmallows are on my shopping list with the tomatoes. 😏😂 love Mandy too as I do you
Hope you feel better! Ty for sharing your video! This really a great way to use tomatoes!
Continuing to watch your playlist. 😀
I must try.
You should try dehydrate watermelon I've had that and omg that it good
👄I dehydrate watermelon!! It's wonderful!!
Heather: I used coffee filters cut to fit my jar attachments. It will prevent any powder from being sucked up into your vacuum sealer. I don't know if the one you have is actually strong enough to do that but a regular vacuum sealer will actually suck the powder up into your machine.
What-a great idea! To my knowledge, the handheld doesn’t suck up the powder BUT i just bought a vacuum sealer off of fb marketplace from a local mama in my area. I need to buy the tubing. This is a great hack to prevent that if I ever use my big machine! So thank you!!!!!
Please do not have shoulder surgery I had three of them and they ruined my shoulder and it's a hundred times worse so keep up with what you're doing and don't have surgery
Very interesting.....never heard of tomato powder before.
The best way to get the juice out of the tomato. and use it as a V8 drink this also help cut down cooking time and make a thicker sauce. is to Freeze them, then let them thaw out, by blending them let it set. All of the juice will come out of the tomato. Don't throw the juice away, Freeze it back for V8, and things even soups > i use the skins and seeds in my sauces and things. To get more vitamins ~ Its silly to go threw them and throw them away
I have a connector to my vacume food sealer that I love...
Watching you all the way back.❤🇨🇦
Wow! I’m gonna have to try both tomatoes and mushrooms!🥰🙏🏻
Miss Heather, I just want to kiss and hug you! This morning, I took the plunge. I made jam for the first time. Strawberry, plum, apricot/papaya. No pectin in any of it. They turned out Beautiful and Fantastic!
Can you tell me how you use the powder for goulash??
Mix some of that with chicken bouillon and add to rice. Its amazing!! #youaremyzoloft
I take my patio screen off lay it across two chairs wash it and put sliced tomatoes on that in the sun for two full days of sun. And then grind… Works great
A teaspoon in scrambled eggs is great too.
Hey, watched your tomato powder segment yesterday and loved it. My question is, Can I Dehydrate regular, (meaning a basic no-taste store bought tomato), dehydrate it and get the flavor factor of a heritage tomato. I know that sounds like a stupid question but my Drill Instructor told me 59 years ago that there are no stupid questions. Semper Fi.
I add it to my homemade salsa. I find myself talking to the tv when I see people throw the skins away after processing tomatoes.
