Truth in (your) advertising--I dehydrated some frozen broccoli and later added it to some alfredo. I was praised because "you know how much I love my broccoli," and was told how good it tasted. I later revealed that it was dehydrated...they couldn't believe how fresh it tasted! You are, by far, my favorite & most trusted go-to authority on dehydrating, so thanks!
Quick tip: buying frozen eliminated the blanching process. I now buy many frozen veggies because it gets me to the dehydrator quick and all without making a bigger mess in the kitchen.
@@ThePurposefulPantry My question is: I haven frozen broccoli, so I can dehydrate it and follow how you rehydrate it? I really appreciate the help. I'm hoping to buy more and dehydrate them.
I have a broccoli tip for you. I'm allergic to dairy so I like to cook my fresh broccoli by putting about a 1/4-1/2 of a cup of chicken broth in a pan, tossing the broccoli in & cooking the broccoli in that broth. It makes the broccoli buttery flavored & delicious without the butter. OH! I also slice the broccoli stems into rounds & cook them as well. I like the stems best.
Thank you so much. I really only discovered UTUBE about a year ago. We grew 45 Broccoli plants last year and after the freezer was full we ate until we were full and gave to every neighbor who smiled at us. I will have to get Moisture absorbers because South Louisiana is very humid. I am learning so much from your channel. Thank you again.
Blanching is important to reduce goitrogens that are hard on the thyroid... especially if you eat it frequently. Same with cauliflower, kale, spinach, etc. Thank you for the detailed video 🤗
I make a lot of broccoli soup. I put enough in a jar for one pot of soup,sometimes alone and sometimes with dehydrated carrots, celery, onions and garlic. I can what I grow, but sometimes, (not so much this year) my local Meijer has broccoli crowns for $1 and I grab at least 10 and dehydrate them.
When cooking fresh broccoli, the outer of the stem rarely seems to cook good anyway. I think I would peel it for eating but then still keep the peelings for powder.
WoW, you're so thorough! A question would pop into my head and the very next sentence out of your mouth was always the answer!! I'm like, is she reading my mind??!! Lol This happened several times in the short video! You're a great teacher! God bless you Darcy!
Great tips! I recently dehydrated broccoli for the first time. But I was not prepared for the intense broccoli smell when I opened up the jar after conditioning.
I remember taking the stems, stipping ybe outside and making circles or just strips for dipping. Never told people what they were, they are them. At end of gathering, told them. They were shocked
A steamer insert works perfect for blanching and you can go larger amounts at a time. All you have to do is fill the bottom pan deeper and it will fill the steamer insert with water. Then you can lift the whole insert out when done.
This is Mrs Pete. Love your videos very informative. Just a trick I started to use a salad spinner to get off the extra water since that is the goal of the dehydrator. 😜. Just something I found that works for me.
Me either ! There’s so much I don’t know 🤦🏾♀️ but I’m learning. I’m excited because my Dad is going to buy me a dehydrator 😀 he use to make deer jerky when I was younger. Ok, didn’t mean to overload you lol. Hope you grow something awesome
you are becoming my favorite binge watch! I'm loving dehydrating my garden and now I'm doing frozen vegies also. Thank you Darcy for all your shared wisdom and information
No one in my family likes broccoli but since they are so healthy, I dehydrate frozen organic broccoli, powder it and make vitamin capsules out of it. 8 capsules make a full serving but we only take a few a day with our meals for that extra boost of nutrition.
Good timing, my dehydrator is supposed to be delivered today! I think I'll try it on frozen since the blanching process is done (from what I've heard) and here the frozen is much cheaper than fresh at the moment.
Blanching is done, but based on the frozen veg blends I've bought, the broccoli will have to be cut finer and stems sliced. Probably semi-frozen is the best time to do that. I need to experiment with it, myself to see if I need to thaw completely.
Thanks for the focus on broccoli. I've thought about dehydrating it, but had questions both on the process and the re-hydration and use afterwards. You've clearly answered them. I'll be watching for the next sale. Looking forward to using them in salads and such. We eat a lot of steamed broccoli, so if I can get anywhere close to that texture, I'll be happy! Thank you.
Just started dehydrating and jar sealing, so appreciate all your information. I live alone so also like to use some smaller jars more often so I can nearly use the whole jar quicker by resealing it less often.
I dehydrated frozen broccoli and vacuum sealed them in bags. I wasn't impressed with the outcome but will still use those. Going forward I will definitely be doing this method.
I used to be able to buy the stems shredded, broccoli slaw. I can't have a garden right now, thinking about going to the Farmer's market to get some stalks... Thanks for showing this. Love your blue bowl!
When you make broccoli rice, do you peel the stalks first? I'm so sad I didn't know about using the stalk for that before now. What a great addition to rice recipes!
I have a couple trays of broccoli in the dehydrator following your method now. I'm going to do a couple trays of fiddleheads also using this method, simply because the machine is already on the go.
Thank you for doing this by itself I was actually really looking forward to this one and enjoyed it immensely. I loved how you said about keeping the stems too I'm using them and some things that you could use them for I'm amazed at the number of people that actually just throw away all the stems
Hi Darci: Well I’m doin it. First batch in the Cosori. Five trays of Ménage a Trois and one of corn. Straight from grocers freezer. Lol. Set at 116 deg x 48 hours. Not sure about temp - forgot. Manual doesn’t say. 😢. Fingers crossed. Thanks for all you teach! Jars are in the d/washer. 👍♥️
I thank you for your teaching, I was given a packed full bag of Broccoli and didn't want to can it because of mush and freezer has enough. It's one thing that doesn't grow well in Oregon so I want it on hand. Thanks for being out there in our needs.
Thank you so much for getting me excited about dehydrating again. I have 2 Ronco dehydrators for 50 years, and they still work. But I am looking into a Cosori to order soon. Do those plastic mesh come with the cosori or do we have to buy separately? I can't wait to get started again. Look out marshmallows, here I come.
I'm using my first brand new dehydrator right now,since yesterday. I also bought a pack of silicone trays liners. I'm drying sugar dipped, on both sides, navel orange slices . It's been drying about 12 hours at 135 . Then I put temp to 145 for another 2 hours. They are still pliable and sticky. I'm going to keep dehydrator I guess
One project that isn't an easy drying project shouldn't make you wonder if you should keep it. The sugar is going to be hard to dry because as it is warm it's always going to be sticky. You need to get the orange dry, then let it cool and test.
A lot of people just don't get the whole blanching process. When I'm teaching a dehydrating class I show them what green beans look like with and without blanching. That's a real in-your-face difference, like with broccoli. When I ask them which jar they would pick, hands down it's always the blanched one.
Thank you it was an excellent presentation. Thank you for the info I’ve forgotten how long to blanch even though my Mon always blanched. Now I’m 73 and I just plain forgot.
I dehydrate so much but broccoli wasn't on my list. I'm happy I watched to separate the dry stem from flower in jar's. I get a call from my food bank on food getting tossed to garbage so I take if I'm needing . I got two big boxes full of store broccoli to get done. Now freezer room. I have gone threw four dehydrator being it's always going. So if you can ask food banks to call before they toss.
Frozen broccoli is already blanched, and eliminates that step. If you hit a good sale, even better, as fresh broccoli is pretty pricey nowadays. Just a thought....
Thanks for all you do for us. I received my book and most of the produce you use is fresh. Is frozen spinach, frozen cauliflower, ok to dehydrate. Also, I have a bunch of tomatoes I cut up and put in freezer. Will they be ok to dehydrate, and if so, do they need to thaw out first? THANKS
Do you add a desiccant packet to the foods you've dehydrated (before vacuum sealing for storing)? I noticed some recommend using a desiccant pkg at the bottom of the jar and an oxygen absorber at the top of the jar, and am confused about the best way to store dehydrated foods. (Or should the dehydrated foods be placed in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers?🤦♀️) So much to learn. 😐
They aren't necessary if you dry properly, condition, and store in airtight containers of the right size. You can use them (don't use them together), but if you need something, use a moisture absorber .
I have this same dehydrator! Saw your review on it as well. Love broccoli and will dehydate some as well. I did just dehydrate some strawberries, and I'm wondering how crisp they must be to store. Mine are still a bit pliable and I've dehydrated them for more than the required amount of time. What do you think, or how would you test that? Should I try to condition them? Thank you!
Never go by the time. Go by if they are done. They should easily snap apart. If you're doing them for snacking only (to be eaten in a few days), it's not as important since it won't have time to mold. But for storage, dry until it's completely dry.
If you're oven is a convection oven, works just like your air fryer. I don't use my oven as it wastes so much energy to do it, and I can't make the quantities I need, but I did do a tip video ruclips.net/video/oUAtMV3m0io/видео.html

But theirs frozen veggies like Broccoli,Cauliflower that reallly is not nice😉
I was hoping to find this answer as I have a lot of frozen broccoli.
How does it taste ? Any bitterness etc?
But not everyone has frozen - and if you're growing it you need to know how to preserve it. But yes, frozen is a great way to build it quickly.

Thank you for reminding those of us with hypothyroidism to blanch!!!
So does the 5G/wifi/"smart" devices. Constant radiation to the thyroid. Not good.

This is unbelievable... I dehydrate so many things and would NEVER have thought to dehydrate broccoli!! Thanks for the video!
Add more to that pantry of yours! ♥
If people like the stem less crunchy, they can peel the exterior of the stem that is mainly CHITIN (hard coating).
When cooking fresh broccoli, the outer of the stem rarely seems to cook good anyway. I think I would peel it for eating but then still keep the peelings for powder.

Frozen vegetables from supermarket 😋 should they be blanched or has supplier done that?
Already done
Do you add a desiccant packet to the foods you've dehydrated (before vacuum sealing for storing)?

(Or should the dehydrated foods be placed in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers?🤦♀️) So much to learn. 😐
They aren't necessary if you dry properly, condition, and store in airtight containers of the right size. You can use them (don't use them together), but if you need something, use a moisture absorber .
Can you dehydrate radishes?
Yes - the tops as well! www.thepurposefulpantry.com/how-to-dehydrate-radishes/

Very informative.
How long will these last in Mylar bags that are vacuum sealed with an oxygen absorber and a desiccant packet?
You don't use both desiccant packs and O2 absorbers. They last a couple of years....optimally - anything you might get after that is bonus.
Love your knife, thinking of buying, hiw often do you need to sharpen it? Thanks Darcy!
I haven't sharpened it, yet, but it needs it. I've had it about a year, and it definitely needs some sharpening.
@@ThePurposefulPantry thanks!
Darcy could you do a video on using the oven to dehydrated since my aryfryer oven is to small
If you're oven is a convection oven, works just like your air fryer. I don't use my oven as it wastes so much energy to do it, and I can't make the quantities I need, but I did do a tip video ruclips.net/video/oUAtMV3m0io/видео.html
The second day I got my dehydrator I dehydrated 2 lb of Frozen broccoli. It filled a 1 qt jar.
"Massive amount of cheese." Woman after my own heart, lol.
Question! Can you use an air fryer oven to dehydrate? thanks! Kim
Depends on the air fryer - not all get low enough not to actually cook. And most don't give you the ability to do volume - but yes you can.
@@ThePurposefulPantry thank you!
Can you marinade the broccoli in olive oil and onion and garlic powder and then dehydrate? Maybe also add some grated cheese?
No - no oil for dehydrating
@@ThePurposefulPantry is there a reason why? Will the veggies not get crisp?
I saw someone use a tsp of baking soda to the water and the color stays bright fur a long time. II'm not sure about that method. Have you tried it?
I don't bother - this is enough
Can you blanch with steam vs immersing in boiling water?
yes
I didn’t know you could do that
Would it help to use a vacuum sealer to pull oxygen out of jar?
If you want, but it's not necessary - just like I said ;)
Do you have a video on how to dehydrate eggs? And can you bake with them afterwards?
I've never had a video on how to dehydrate eggs - I don't do them and don't recommend it.

Should you vacuum seal the mason jars?
If you want, but its not necessary.
