This will make camping dinner of kielbasa, potatoes and Cabbage easier and quicker. Thank you for info.
I dehydrated my sauerkraut, other than being super salty it's great for a salad topper 👍 Don't know why I never thought of raw cabbage...but I'm on it, thank you 🌹
Just an FYI for those curious - if you fermented you sauerkraut, be sure to dry under 115F/42C to keep all those good bugs alive!
Tracy Culture, I think there is a sweet/ salty Sauerkraute. You will find it in specialist German butchers.
Maybe worth a try, then make yourself
Thank you. I think this answered my question about my tomato peppers stuffed with cabbage.
Tracy do you feel it's okay then to dehydrate a fermented tomato/pepper salsa? Thank you. I can't seem to find any info on it.
I love chicken broth, cabbage, onions, garlic, potatoes, carrots and amino acids with a little shot of worcestershire.
You can put nutritional yeast in for thickening if you want to but powdered okra works really well.
I love cabbage! It goes on sale a couple times a year for 49 cents a pound, and I buy a bunch for dehydrating every time. Cheap, healthy, filling, versatile.
I absolutely love hot bowl of cabbage, potato & ham soup in the bitter winter months
Sounds great!
I've dehydrated a bunch of green cabbage for cabbage soup. We eat a lot of it because it has good flavor and we don't miss the salt, as we do in many other soups & stews. For cutting, I quarter the head of cabbage and remove the stem from each quarter. Then cut the quarter lengthwise in about 3 sections. Then, cut across the sections. Often the result is squares of cabbage about an inch or so wide. When I hit thick stem pieces, I slice them lengthwise to expose more of the interior, which releases more moisture.
Like you, I spread as much as I can on each tray. After a couple of hours, I remove the trays, one at a time and look for those clumped pieces you mentioned. After the cabbage dries a bit, they are easier to separate, IMO. That's the time I also spread out the pieces that are too thickly stacked. And, I rotate the trays as I return them to the Excalibur. Top and bottom trays go to the center. And, the trays are rotated front to back in relationship the the fan.
So far, works well. Hadn't considered doing purple cabbage. Green is on sale right now for $.69/lb. May pick up some green AND purple to give that combo a try in the dehydrator.
Thanks for sharing!
Red cabbage in Pennsylvania Giant store came to 9 bucks for a regular yet bit smaller size 😱
Just got my dehydrator yesterday now im really really really binge watching. Wish me luck 🤞..lol
You can do it!
If you slam the core bottom of the cabbage down on a hard surface it will easily release the core with a little twist.
You just blew my mind. Drying vegetables for ramen! Omg… How did I not think of that before. Thank you so much!
I am new to dehydrating and I am hooked. My favorite so far is cherry tomatoes 🍅. After they are dried I grab a handful and toss them into sauted (charred) chicken tenders cooking in organic avacado oil with onion, garlic, dried celery, organic frozen peas and lots of mushrooms! Delicious. Simply outstanding. I can't state enough how delicious it is. Dried cherry tomatoes have a more pungent, concentrated flavor. I have bell peppers drying now (all but green). After that I will try drying mushrooms. The only thing I will add is that it has taken MUCH longer than the booklet says.
Mine just got delivered last week. I'm going to start for the first time too. Very excited
Mushrooms are my favorite, so fast and saves space.
@@jennyb270 It helps alot to have the liners. Clean up is easier.
@@nancylourose I haven't done mushrooms yet but I bet they are amazing.
I have a great sausage and cabbage soup my family loves. We eat more cabbage now than ever before.
Yumm ! Do share😊
This would be great to take hiking as I imagine it is light weight, can add to my noodles
Thanks for the video! Just bought cabbage yesterday to dehydrate. Bless you! 👵🙏❤
I built a solar dehydrator for this very purpose. I reuse sanitised pickle jars for storage. I made a break bleeder adaptor to pull the air out of the jars once full. I had some potatoes I did this to that were 5 years old. Tasted great!
Reading thru the comments, I am getting hungry! You all have alot of great recipe ideas I have forgotten about for cabbage!
Thanks Darcy, perfect timing! I have planted a whole pile of cabbage to preserve 😊.
We also use dehydrated cabbage in a kind of deconstructed cabbagecroll casserole.
You are so knowledgeable and save all of the hard work thank you
When it is cooked there is little color anyway..so I agree ..why blanch? Great to have on hand for our cooking. Great video! I do the same thing...I roll up the rubber mat as a funnel..then to the jar...not gross...why work harder! :)
I saute cabbage with a tad of butter and olive oil
I use cabbage in place of rice. I will be dehydrating it in future to save freezer space.
What a timely video. I came to your site to find out how long to blanch cabbage. I have 7 quarts of chopped cabbage to dehydrate. Thank you such for your informative video.
Glad it was helpful!
You're awesome with your explainations and demonstrations! I appreciate you. Thank you! ( I bought an Excalibur and love dehydrating because of your channel.)
Awesome! Welcome to the addiction :D
I like fresh cabbage on my sandwiches instead of lettuce, toss & fry it with my noodles or stir fry or rice. fresh mostly . but dehydrate to add to a lot of dishes.
I hadn't thought of cabbage but we love cabbage, Thank you
Hope you enjoy
OH, yeah! 😊 Needed and appreciated, Darcy. Thank you. ⚘
Im starting to love this now I want to dehydrate a lot of stuff now!
Dehydrated cabbage is the best. I take a little bit of that and other dehydrated vegetables put them in a jar and I have family members that take it with them to work and other places they go
I grate my cabbage small for Cole slaw and it's dry in 6 hours
This looks like a good way to have cabbage on hand for okonimiyaki. I'll have to give it a try.
Im going to try really hard to do this! But my raw cabbages usually get eaten as a snack. Survival rates for them around here are mortifying! Lol 😊 btw thank you so much!!
I just wanted to say thank you for the garden video. I’m trying container gardening this year and I found much needed information. I did cabbage last year and it’s been great for my soups over the winter.
Glad it was helpful!
I love to eat the core. It has a spicy taste. I grate it into my salads
Yes, less waste.
Thanks....great addition to the things I like and therefore would enjoy having some on the shelf. Yes, cabbage casserole would be perfect. Have a great day. Jesus bless.
I have been dehydrating cabbage for over a month now and love the results for long term storage. I do not blanch. Some I have cut in like shreds, some I chopped up more so I have options for cooking. I only do green as I really do not like red cabbage.
Cabbage in my dehydrator today.
Never thought about dehydrated cabbage. Hmmm, I’ve got one in the refrigerator now. Think I’ll dehydrate it tomorrow. I would love it in my ramen. Thank you!
I like the way you do things, thank you. Keep it real.
I appreciate that!
Thank you - I love cabbage and never thought of doing this!
Hope you enjoy
I agree with her dehydrated vegetables. I have three going every day. I don't blanch cabbage,onion, celery, cilantro, parsley, spinach, I do blanch broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, carrots,sweet potatoes, yam, really find your way to save food and jars. With dehydration I can make powder food how wonderful. If you ask if I like a freeze dry NO WAY I was exited when I could take it back, I couldn't have the space I gave with Dehydrated to that and that way was horrible. I like fruit on the go not air fruit candy fruit . So you will learn to love this you will.
Thanks cabbage is a great idea for use in soups and such! BTW, I like your technique of conditioning the final dehydrated product. I set mine on the kitchen counter for 5-7 days. Rolling or shaking them at least once a day, before vacuum sealing. 👍
Love dehydrated foods and your videos. I tried freeze dried foods and hated them lol
Thank you for doing this one Darcy. I would probably only be doing cabbage dehydrated for in soups and maybe some of my son's ramen whether he determines he likes it or not and maybe something like fried cabbage type thing occasionally so this was very helpful, appreciate all you do hope you had a good little trip take care and God bless
Was on my Facebook page and I noticed that there was someone that was dehydrating rice and I recommended your page so I hope you don't mind that I recommended them to you because you got more knowledge about what can be dried and what not and what temperature you need to dry it out so I just wanted to let you know that they are going look u up I don't know
TY!
Thank you for that tip on dehydrating sauerkraut. I make a lot of sauerkraut because I love sauerkraut soup. I use regular cabbage to add to the the smoked bacon and onions and add whatever stock I have, and only use the sauerkraut at the end to help preserve its probiotic value. However, I seem to end up with a lot of jars of sauerkraut in the fridge taking up space. To know that I can dehydrate it and still retain the probiotic properties is a blessing. I also love the sauerkraut in a bun with a grilled sausage. Yum.
Thank you for your excellent information filled videos.
Your timing is perfect! Just bought some today and I was wondering about drying….thanx!
Thank you Darcy! I can't wait to try this. 💖
Hope you like it!
i was wondering if after dehydrating can it be used for fried cabbage with bacon and onions?
yes
What a great idea about buying the pre shredded bags of cabbage.
Thanks for another great idea to dehydrate Darcy!
THANK YOU
Just ordered my magnet sticker, so looking forward to receiving it. Great video content. Learning all the time. Thanks for sharing 👍😎
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow! I’ve been making up shelf stable meals for the cabin, I have a beef been and cabbage soup that we love. I have just dehydrated 15 lbs of ground beef, I have done red kidney beans dehydrated and now I can do the cabbage! Win win. Thank you
Can’t wait to try this!
Have fun!
Great in pot roast
My green cabbage turned almost black. I did not blanch. It was dehydrated about 3 years ago. I will toss it and try blanching this time and will add a pinch of baking soda to help retain color.
I am curious how you make your slaw. Always willing to try a new slaw recipe. I'm going to give dehydrating the cabbage a go and see how it works for egg-roll in a bowl. BTW I have now dehydrated carrots and celery and am very pleased with the results. TY ~Debbie
I just use the copycat KFC recipe with a few extras like celery seed and chopped jicama - but not from rehydrated.
That's a great idea! Egg rolls would be amazing! I've got Brussel sprouts and onions going right now. I'm new to all this. And I am hooked
I swear, those hard, white sections reproduce in the bowl when I’m not looking! I too am not so great at chopping cabbage-I start out strong with pretty strips, then I start rotating the head and getting all flustered and…yeah, it’s not pretty. There are way more of those hard parts than I remember seeing in the bowl. Totally agree with you on the pre-prepped stuff. 😂😂😂
Would this be suitable for fried cabbage when rehydrate? Thanks for the great videos, and most of all, the inspiration to prep.
Yes, absolutely. Just rehydrate and go through the recipe as normal.
@@ThePurposefulPantry Thanks so much.
Never thought about dehydrating cabbage!! Great idea. Thank you. (Darn autocorrect - like my spelling/words aren’t bad enough already. Lol)
You are so welcome!
If you buy the frozen broccoli than do you need to cook it first? I normally grind it up in powder.
No
Buy more broccoli than you think you need. 8 lb of broccoli fits in three quart canning jars.
Do you have a video on dehydrating strawberries? Sorry I couldn't find it if you do!! Thank you!
ruclips.net/video/XpXoy_PJ2XU/видео.html
Great 👍🏼. I’m going to try this!
Hope you like it!
I love mine and got one for my daughter-in-law!
I thought you cut it just fine cause you did it like I do. My question is my dehydrated foods don't look like yours or other tutorial dehydrated foods? Any ideas
I have no idea - what do your dehydrated foods look like that are so different?
Thank you for this. I am not brave enough to try canning. Dehydration, I can do. I have a gallon jar of tomato peppers stuffed with cabbage. It said to eat 7 to 10 days after opening. Can I chop these up and dehydrate? Ingredients: tomato peppers, cabbage, sugar,salt and acetic acid. I don't want to open it until I know if I can preserve it.
Yes
Should cabbage have a smell when you open the canister after dehydrating? Mine has a strong smell.
IT's storing cabbage in an enclosed container. Cabbage smells. If it smells moldy or musky or bad, then chuck it, but yes, things are going to smell after you open a jar that held those smells in.
@@ThePurposefulPantry I asked my husband to smell it and he thinks it smells like cabbage. I thought it didn’t. Thanks for responding!
Question...are the lids reusable if no heat was applied to them...such as using a food saver to cold seal?
Yes - just not with canning.
@@ThePurposefulPantry thank you
Has anyone ever done the whole leaves? I like making stuffed cabbage rolls. Will the leaves rehydrate well enough to stuff/roll them?
I have not heard of anyone doing it, but doing a casserole version of it instead. Give it a try and report back!
Great tutorial! Appreciate it, & will try it. Thanx!😊
Hope you enjoy!
Thanks Darcy, I am going to dehydrate this next!
I tried dehydrating banana slices. They were in the dehydrate 16 hrs at 140° and never did get crisp. I sluced them thin and dipped them in lemon juice. What did I do wrong?
You didn't dry long enough. They need a lot of time - sometimes 2-3 days
I don’t blanch mine. I’ve done a lot of it and vacuum seal it in bags. Great for fried, soups, stir fry etc.
I don't blanch my cabbage I put it in my soups and I don't need to have bright shiny cabbage.
If you load from the too down you won't get as much ouch back on the items on the trays
Have a question...I dehydrated the cabbage at 125 for about 9 hours. It became wilted and brownish with no snap. Should a lower heat setting be used instead or less time?
Next time, make note that you may need to dry it lower, and you may want to blanch it next time.
@@ThePurposefulPantry Thank you;) I did steam blanch it, but I will try the lower temp.
That sounds delicious
Cabbage was one of my first things to dehydrate years ago and love it! Question- I have baked potatoes left over from a group luncheon and wondering if you know if they would turn out ok if I dehydrate them.....what cut would be best if I can dehydrate? THanks so much....always learning something new from you!
If they are over baked, they aren't really going to hold up to dehydrating and rehydrating. You can make potato flakes from them to use in cooking.
You said not to put an oxygen absorber and a moisture absorber in together. What happens if you do?
They don't work properly - there is no need for either.
I love to thinly slice cabbage, kale, swiss chard and shredded carrots and saute them . What do you think would be the best way to do the cabbage, raw or blanched? I generally saute them until they are well cooked and mix in seasons and some form of meat.
How would it work in Bierocks? I am a first time dehydrator so thanks for all your info
Fine - I'd rehydrate it first and then add.
How long do you blanch when you do it?
2-3 min.
How would this work as fried cabbage I do cabasa cabbage potatoes in a bit of Italian salad dressing fried
I have a few cans of store bought kraut and it's getting close to close date. Could I dehydrate it? If so,s rehydration suggestions? Love your videos!
Yes - rehydrate the same way
Have you tried roasting after rehydrating? That’s how we like it and I’m trying to find the best way to preserve it. Tia
It doesn't come back like fresh, but I include it in things - I've never raosted it. You'll never know how YOU like it until you experiment with it a bit.
Please do a video on beetroot
Found out that I’m pre diabetic and now I’ll need to fill my prepper pantry with low carb options. Have lots of potatoes (just dried 65 lbs in last month), mixed veggies that have corn, peas, lima beans and carrots which are high carbs. Won’t be tossing out anything as food is food when nothing else is available. Darcy, you are my go to person for dehydrating and thank you for sharing your knowledge generously. When you use your dried cabbage on tacos is it rehydrated?
You can do it either way. It tends to be a chewy crunch vs outright hard crunch like a chip but rehydrated will be chewier even unless you blanched it first. We just leave it dried. But it's not for everyone.
@@ThePurposefulPantry thank you for your quick response!
I eat 'Crack Slaw' virtually every day on my Keto eating regimen (I am not dieting). I want to dehydrate lean meat and make pemmmican. HOwever, I want to know if the dried cabbage would work fine in the pemmican instead of berries. In short, is there a potential problem with the dried cabbage mixed with beef tallow? I suspect not, but just wondering. Next question, most foods are low in magnesium. Magnesium glycinate is the substitte for magnesium in foods. In it's powder form, do you feel it would be appropriate for spice mixes, soups, pemmican, etc.?
I wouldn't think cabbage could replace the berries. I'm not a pemmican expert, so you might need to go look at channels that specialize in it.
Thank you I am new toy dehydrating. When I tried cabbage it stayed soft and tasted burned. Now I know what I did wrong.
What do you think you did wrong?
@@ThePurposefulPantry I didn't blanch it and I sat my dehydrator at 120 but I think I left it in too long. Timing my dehydrator seems to be my biggest problem
You didn't leave it in too long if it was soft - Did you let it sit for a long time without the machine running? you can rarely over dry anything - it sounds like it wasn't dried enough and started to go bad
Does this taste/smell like the pieces of cabbage in Ramen type meals? It sounds nuts, but I get a migraine from the smell in those meals when my kids heat them up. Weird smell association, but I love fresh cabbage!
Then yes, it will bother you. I don't find it bad at all, but I don't have issues with migraines.
@@ThePurposefulPantry Thank you very much for taking time to answer!
How long should you condition while you are looking/hearing for softness of cabbage? Five to seven days IF all is good.
5-7 days is plenty of time.
I dehydrated a bunch and conditioned it. About a month later it looked brownish and was more limp than crispy dry. I threw it out
Did you blanch it?
I like cabbage with butter, salt and pepper. Usually, I'll put it in a pan and cook it down. Will this work for that?
Yes
Thank you for this video.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, thanks 😊 do you use baking soda to help keep the color?
Nope - it's unnecessary
Doesn't it lose most of its flavor and c-vitamin soon after being cut? What does it taste like after you take it rehydrated from the bowl? Those cores tossed over the edge of the counter are tasty when fresh. A bit like radish.
You assumed they weren't used. All dehydrated foods will lose VitC when being dried (just as if you cook or can it) - but it retains most everything else. It tastes like cabbage without the crunch.
thanks...good video
I blanched my potatoes, carrots, and celery. I got ahead of myself while learning and didn't blanch the cabbage or broccoli. You said cabbage was fine, but will my broccoli be ok?
It's okay. They may begin to lose their color pretty quickly in storage.
@@ThePurposefulPantry Thanks
Do u transfer to smaller jars as u use the food up ?
Yes, especially if it is things we use more slowly and I don't dehydrate as often.
This is an important question. Thanks for asking it.
