I pick up older mushrooms from my farmer"s market, dehydrate them and make a mushroom powder that is an excellent addition to soups and stews. Most markets have a scratch and dent section for their old produce that I raid it whenever I see stuff I can roast, pickle, smoke, dry or freeze for future use.

@lisabooker6405 7 жыл бұрын

Great video! I used my oven too before I got my dehydrator. I got the less expensive brand than the Excalibur and it does EXCELLENT. A tip for your oven dehydrating...if you put a wine cork or something similar in size in the oven door to crack it a bit it will help speed up dehydration and it won't actually "cook" your items like it can with door closed. Leaving it cracked just leaves room for moisture to escape making it all even out. Just a suggestion is all. I'm no pro but it did a good job for me so I thought I'd share. You can use your dehydrated items for everything from seasoning, medicines, soaps, shampoos, vinegars, smoothies, all kinds of goodies. Thanks so much for all you do! You've got a great channel and I love, love, love your family! God Bless! ~Lisa

I've made lemon powder amongst others before. I have a general countertop dehydrator and I did the peeling method. I did it to make teas so I didn't grind it up into a powder. I also ground up orange peels, fresh mint, garlic and onions to make my own garlic and onion powder. Lemon powder goes great with fish as you mentioned. It also goes very well and pastries, like a lemon cake. It works well with icings or as a flavoring agent for little treats. I would also recommend not grinding it so fine and leaving lemon chips or flakes so you can make wonderful teas.

In cooking bread, you can use this lemon powder to substitute for salt. I have used a teaspoon of lemon powder or lemon juice, plus a teaspoon of vinegar to replace salt used in my bread. You can smell the vinegar odor as the dough proofs or rises, but you can't taste or smell it when the bread is cooked. Also, I have eaten sandwiches at a German restaurant before and had the new experience of lemon slices being placed inside of the sandwich to give it a tangy flavor. The lemon slices were thin and really added to the sandwich as to taste. YOu may also try using oranges for another dehydration project. Like say, most of these resulting spices can replace sodium in your diet and add a unique flavor to any bread or cake. Thanks for sharing..

Freeze fresh lemons then graze them with the tiny holes on a box grater. Spread out the grated lemon on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Place the sheet pan in the oven at the lowest setting. After a couple of hours remove a stir. Replace in the oven. I stir mine every two (2) hours until the lemon is very dry. Powder in a spice grinder or in a food processor. I use this to make a "lemonade" that is both a vitamin C source and a lung tonic since lemon oil is useful as a treatment for lung congestion. Use the whole lemon. I sweeten my "lemonade" with powdered Stevia leaf. I do not use sugar.

I love cooking, even though it's a huge strain on my body now. Been cooking since I was 5 years old. Preground spices/herbs lose their potency faster than whole spices. So if one is willing to leave the peels whole after dehydration and only grind up what you need at the moment of cooking it will last, flavour wise a lot longer than grinding it. That being said if you burn through ground up spices in no time flat it does have an advantage to doing it at the time they are done dehydration. There is also the idea of just using a little more as it gets weaker. All of these are viable options. What you did here could be done with oranges, limes and just about any citrus fruit really. If you have access to a lime tree consider lime leaves for Thai food. What else...Oh, a fresh bay leaf plant. Fresh bay leaves are very different than dried. Dry your own and have some fresh on hand :)

Hi there! I tried this with lime peels and although it smelled delicious, it completely lacked the bright lime flavor. Leaving only the bitter flavor to be tasted. When I peeled them, I made sure to exclude the pith. Any ideas as to the problem/solution?

Excellent. Lemon 🍋 powder. Yum 😋 We freeze lemon juice when we can get an abundance and they are cheap. It’s great for when they are rarer and expensive. And fill ice cubes trays - perfect for a small amount for in salad dressing or to add to a glass of water or tea for refreshing drinks. Thanks 🙏

I just received a bag of lemons from a friend. I was thinking about dehydrating the zest to be used in recipes requiring zest. I hadn't thought about making it into powder. Miss watching your live shows and following your homesteading journey.

Magic powder!! Great in cakes and any kind of Italian sauce or pasta dish - just a large pinch will do. Mix with honey and glycerine and rub into your face to perk up dull tired skin. Also mix with baking soda and use as a shower or sink cleaning powder.

I do lots of dehydrating squash and pumpkin powder can be used to make soups or pies or thicken things, I make. Tomato powder for Thickening and making soup, sauces, stews, casseroles. I dehydrate kale and cabbage but don't powder them I use them on casseroles, soups, stews but I don't powder those, I do lots more. It's alway goo to have more than one method of storage so I dehydrate I mostly can and I freeze. You could get a good nesco for a good price you don't need fancy stuff like an Excalibur to do work horse and get things done

Walmart now sells little miniature ice cube trays where the cube is the size of your thumb. Probably 1 tablespoon. Get some of these and you can freeze dozens f cubes in the same square per footage of tray converted to mini cubes. When I pass thru the area of the store I get some. Make great gifts, they even have them in 3 inch cylinders ready to drop in bottled water or soda pop. Ones of lemon would be ideal. Can also push cylinder one of water into soil to water indoor plants waters soil slowly as it melts. Prevents soaking plants with too much water. Or put couple of thumb size on the soil to water the plant. I live in apartment with no pure water source. I buy bottled water for plants.

I think there was too much pulp on the tray for the lemon pulp. Instead of just straining, I would use a cheesecloth to squeeze as much liquid from them as possible then spread them out in a thin layer in the pan. your pulp was not spread out enough.

Thanks for the video Blake! I'll be dehydrating lemons tomorrow, thanks to you, really looking forward to making this! I've been washing my lemons & freezing them whole, then I'll simply grade the whole lemon, including the seeds. I store them in zip-lock bags & back in the freezer they go! It's handy to just add the frozen lemon to sauces, tea, detox drinks, etc.
