How To Dehydrate Pineapple and KEEP IT RAW

[@daynagraves7533]

Yummy! I love thinly sliced dehydrated fruits like pineapple. The way to tell if a pineapple is ripe is by pulling on the centermost leaf. If you tug on it and it slips out easily and the pineapple is yellow in color, then the sugars are concentrated enough and it's ready to eat.🍍

[@derrickgullage4403]

I'm looking forward to doing some pineapple chips. I've never done before but will give it a go.😊

[@d.elainemiller1375]

If you put the leafy top in water. It will rejuvenate and make a nice plant, just leave some of the pineapple on it, instead of breaking it off. Grat video. 🙂

[@FermentedHomestead]

Interesting! I may try that sometime!

[@fallenangelwi25]

We absolutely love pineapples. Fresh, dehydrated, any way they're amazing lol.

Nice job! I would definitely want to preserve the bromelain. I Watched a video by an eye Doctor Who talked about a study where people ate 50 g to 100 g of pineapple every day for 90 days and got rid of lots of their floaters. Due to the bromelain.

[@destinycoach5]

What's a FLOATER?

[@Cookiejug1]

I leave in the core because it is full of nutritious fiber. Results like like flowers.

[@gerainethompson4496]

Enjoyed the knowledge - -Would like to know what type dehydrator machine your using...my shelves are not as large... thanks for getting back to me.

[@noname-lx1oj]

Glad to hear your pineapple took 2 days.. mine took 3 days at 120 degrees. But they are still rubbery.. my strawberries same.. When I hear the ‘click’ of the pineapple as it’s dropped into the jar.. I’m jealous.. mine didn’t. They are very sticky feeling too. I tested one.. but I tasted tin.. I used canned in juice pineapple.

[@lauriewebb9357]

You can freeze the core pieces and use in your water later

[@fallenangelwi25]

Omg omg OMG!!!!! We just found pineapples like you had with just a little bit of mold on the bottom and lots of color for $0.49 per pineapple!!!!!! We now have 15 to get dehydrated and use!!!!!!! I'm so stinking excited and glad I'm not afraid of a little over ripeness lol 🥰❤️ thank you for being my inspiration hun

What an awesome deal!! I paid like 4 bucks each! I’m so happy for you 💜

[@FermentedHomestead]

I didn’t have an issue with it but you could dip them in lemon juice or citric acid water

[@destinycoach5]

I see tons of eggs in your kitchen. Do you dehydrate them? Do you have a vid on it? Do you worry about the massive amounts of pesticide that would be on the skins for making that drink? Thanks

[@angelsuniverse6021]

U run it 36 hrs contansly or u cam stop it to cool off the electric line or dehydrator?

[@FermentedHomestead]

Yes, you can stop to cool off the machine if need be 😃

[@LSFprepper]

Is there any kind of helpful guide to how many silica gel packs you might need for a certain size container or for what you are storing? For example fruit like you have here vs dehydrated potato flakes. Thanks!

[@FermentedHomestead]

To my knowledge all dehydrated good would be treated equal, the difference would be the container size. That information should be available on the packaging when you buy it. I hope that helps!

[@LSFprepper]

Can I dehydrate fresh pineapple at 105 to 115° to keep the enzymes alive? I’m wondering if it’s safe to let it go as long as it will need to add that temperature.

[@Jay-ze1ev]

What material of mesh is used in the tray?

[@FermentedHomestead]

It’s just what came with the dehydrator

[@kentharris7427]

There is a shortage of dehydrated pineapple in the Houston Texas area, and really insanely expensive if you can find them ($2.36 OZ). Just a few batches of homemade dehydrated pineapple will pay for the dehydrator. Also the store bought ones have been laced with plenty of sugar. How do they taste without the sugar? I guess if it is not sweet enough I can always add artificial sweetener. Planning on purchasing a dehydrator in the near future to make trail mix for my wife and I to snack on.

[@DaughterofaKing1]

Thank you. ❤

[@markdlt2989]

If you add chili powder would you do it while dehydrating or after?

[@FermentedHomestead]

Yes I believe you would

[@pegsclips]

We host a #LetsDehydrate playlist if your interested? just need #LetsDehydrate in description as well with the playlist url for viewers .. and mention in video about the playlist. it's growing quickly.. great exposure and a great variety of channels and dehydrating for your viewers in one placae... and let me know.. we'd be delighted to add your video's .

That sounds like fun! I don’t have any dehydrating videos planned that I haven’t already filmed but I will check out the playlist and see if I have any dehydrating videos I can do 💜

[@diimonicacuffi4207]

thanks for this vid very very informative but i actually do have a question , if dehydrate it faster to make the pineapple tea do you think its gonna kill all the enzymes ??

[@FermentedHomestead]

Most likely it would. The higher the temperature the quicker the enzymes break down. If you google it you can find little info graphics that lay it out.

Depends on your desired result. I put it in at 135 until it was dry, maybe 16 hours?

[@lindakean7392]

Love your easy going down to the facts videos. I am wondering if you condition your pineapple to make sure it’s dry? Assuming not since your jars are packed too tight to shake? I’m interested in long term storage… how long do you think these can last if vacuum sealed? Thanks!

[@FermentedHomestead]

I don’t simply because they are too tasty and they never last very long 😂 if they are conditioned and vacuum sealed with a dry dry pack in them I think they’d last years, if they’re exposed to light it would degrade faster but you’d still get a good while on them.

[@lindakean7392]

@@FermentedHomestead thank you! They ARE so good!

[@MendedAndWholeLife]

Is the dry and dry packets same as oxygen absorbers? Thx

[@FermentedHomestead]

No, similar ideas but they are different. Dry dry absorbs the moisture and the oxygen absorbers suck up the oxygen. I prefer the dry dry for dehydrating but I believe you can use either but not both.

Interesting video! Do you know what would happen if you were to put candy in a dehydrator? Would the effect be the same as a freeze dryer? (Something like Skittles)

@@FermentedHomestead No problem, great video and very informative.

[@destinycoach5]

@@FermentedHomestead in addition to close ups, showing us what it looks like in between at certain intervals: like every 12 hrs. Esp when you said the mandolin slices were done quickly. We didn't see them at all. The rings you put in a jar... we're they snap crisp, bendy? Still moist? Can't tell from distance of camera. You spent a lot of time showing the cutting of all 5 pineapple... which kinda wasn't necessary after we see the different slices... and then no time at all showing finished product that was going in Jars so we actually didn't see anything of the dehydrating process and looks of fruit. So showing us what they look like, snapping them so we hear what sound should be like and even dropping piece in counter is majorly helpful. When we've never done it, we know nothing. Thanks I did one pineapple and I did it off n on for few days and finally put in fridge cuz it just seemed that multiple days was too long. Now I realize it does take that long. So all the steps and stages in between is tremendous help. Thanks so much

[@peggynance9438]

Did you know if you take a pineapple that's not dried out the leaves, you pull a few layers of leaves off and then put it all n to a jar of water like a Mayo jar. Let it get roots then plant it and make sure you fertilize it in spring and summer. Let grow and you'll get your own pineapple fruit. It will not be as big but!! It will be very sweet and your plant will keep making more fruit. So your never buying it again.

[@Jomama02]

You need to invest in a cheapo pineapple corer slicer. They work amazing! I have to be very careful with pineapple. I love it so much but it just tears my mouth to pieces! Makes it mincemeat.

Can I just point out that pineapple is one of the few fruits that cannot be ripened once removed from its plant, it will only decay....

[@FermentedHomestead]

I haven’t heard that before but interesting, it sure seems to ripen

[@martinthompson8949]

@@FermentedHomestead the only fruits that will ripen are ethylene respirating fruits as the ethylene they produce will force the fruit to ripen, it's how growers can control the ripening process on their own terms by ventilation to slow ripening down or flushing fruit with high levels of ethylene to speed up ripening 🙂 A few fruits don't produce ethylene meaning they also can't absorb the ethylene and can't ripen off of the plant. Also the top of a pineapple is the youngest part and is the least ripe, the bottom is the oldest part and will be the ripest, hope you find this information helpful 🙂
