Thanks so much for sharing this. I'm new to dehydrating, but have wanted to take the plunge for a few months now and since I picked up 30 limes at the farmer's market this morning, I think I'm gonna jump in, lol. There was great detailed info that answered my questions and I'll go look for your seasoning videos now. Thanks again!

[@FyreflyesFollies]

I am glad you found it helpful!!

[@sandyclaus2729]

Genius!!! I love the this! Excellent for flavored water. Love the idea if seasoning blends! I wonder if you could sprinkle them it on Tortilla chips. Qdoba has lime flavored Tortilla chips. I bet your lime and cilantro mix would be awesome on some. Mmmm mmmmm

[@FyreflyesFollies]

Yes you can! I like sprinkle it on tortilla chips as soon as I take them out of the fryer. Then they are almost like the chips I get from Chipotle restaurant.

i use for part of a chicken rub for the grill

[@FyreflyesFollies]

@@MrNawfsideVet I love lime on chicken... little garlic, little cumin, little lime.... yummy

This vid was useful for me, I like to use powdered citrus in my baking instead of juice to add flavoring without additional moisture, and I wanted to know how to make it in bulk myself instead of buying crystals. Thank you for sharing!

[@FyreflyesFollies]

I am glad you found it useful!! I love having the dehydrated and powdered citrus available for seasoning and cooking.

Thanks so much for this video! I've been trying to find a way to preserve limes firm my lime tree. Looks easy enough to do. I'm going to try your method soon. I love the lime water I idea, too! ❤

[@chrisbennett5589]

I love to find new seasoning recipes... 😘

[@FyreflyesFollies]

Me too!! I will be posting those videos over the winter months.... that is when I usually mix up new batches of my seasoning mixes.

[@barbarafarina3573]

Hi!! I can't wait to do this! I made a seasoning with lime zest before. It was great, but took like 20 limes (zest) to make 1 jar. Can't wait to try this!!

[@FyreflyesFollies]

I love having this in pace of the zest. it uses so much less and is so much easier than having to stand and zest a zillion little limes!

[@zipi696]

Is the dry lime you prepared good for preserving eggs as well?

[@carolynmoody9460]

would love to see you seasoning recipe 😋 yummies

[@FyreflyesFollies]

Can you vacuum seal them for conditioning?

[@rockthecasbahdude]

So helpful, thank you! What dehydrator do you have?

[@FyreflyesFollies]

I am so glad you found this helpful! I had an Excalibur but after 10 years it finally called it quits on me, so I am currently shopping for a new one.

[@user-yz4de9db2w]

Hello I have a question does this powder dissolve in liquid?

[@realtorpaysyou3143]

What is the brand of your dehydrator please thank you

[@AshleyRodriguez-zj5wv]

Does it end up bitter ?

[@thahahassen3124]

What about the taste when you powered them with peels

[@weywey3906]

How celcius and how long to dehydrated lime?

[@ArrogantBaSStard]

Hi, how did you make the lime powder? Did you grind up the lime pieces and their peel? Thanks!

[@FyreflyesFollies]

Yes I did. I put them in a spice grinder (coffee grinder) and sifted them through a fine mesh sieve, then re-ground any bits until it was all powdered.

[@jarabagoing8361]

Hummm, why don't you remove the peels and seeds? I guess that comes out really bitter🤔

[@ArrogantBaSStard]

@@FyreflyesFolliesthe pith and peels don’t make them bitter?

[@tryitbuyitmakeitsellit]

Hi. Can you please tell me how you make limeade with the powdered keylime?

[@FyreflyesFollies]

I powder it with erythritol super fine... I usually run and sift it at least 3 times, sometimes 4, until it is powder, then I add to cold water to taste. Everyone's taste is different so I am hesitant to give you a measurement. For me it is about half a teaspoon to a glass of cold water. I also let it sit for at least half an hour before adding ice and drinking.

[@tryitbuyitmakeitsellit]

@@FyreflyesFollies Thank you.

[@adrienne5872]

Please explain how the lime powder was made!!

[@FyreflyesFollies]

I put them (whole dehydrated slices) in a spice grinder (coffee grinder) and sifted them through a fine mesh sieve, then re-ground any bits until it was all powdered.

[@realtorpaysyou3143]

What do you mean condition them

[@celiacjake]

Why not make the slices into powder?

[@florentinusandi9649]

Boleh kah beri saya alat pengering itu, saya sangat membutuhkanya untuk berbisnis.

[@ezekielhart3488]

Hey i know im super late to the party but lime pith is like suuuuper bitter,does the dehydration eliminate that?

[@Zeddicus_Zorander]

Dayng Fyreflye comin’ in clutch. 🫶🏼 Needed the fruit water reminder from someone thanks for being an Angel

[@zipi696]

Is the dry lime you prepared good for preserving eggs as well?

[@lilywhitepurity]

NOT the same kind of lime.
