I’m so excited to try this!! Thanks for great instructions, Darcy! EDIT: just starting to make our own Cat Food. Vet recommends adding some pumpkin - your powder will be perfect b/c we only need a little each time. Opening a big can of pumpkin is not practical for us. Your powder is!! TaDah!! Thanks

Oh, my! Gallons and gallons of greens went to waste in my garden this year! I knew they were edible, but we couldn't eat all that. Never occurred to me to dehydrate and powder them! Pumpkin, squash, chayote greens, sweet potato greens (which I love!), not to mention spinach, , lettuce, and chard! Next year!!! Thank you for the open eyes!

I’m in the middle of dehydrating radicchio. I’ll have to see how that turns out. It’s somewhat interesting to dehydrate different types of foods because, I find myself buying just a bit, at first, dependent upon the size jar I actually want to store it in. But, obviously, different foods reduce to different sizes. I will also be finished with some bell peppers by morning. They shrink to nothing so, I imagine I’ll be doing a few batches to fill a quart jar. I also find that each type of food may not take. The time you think it will. Like it may take zucchini way longer than Roma tomatoes to dehydrate. It’s obviously also important to check the jar, after closing it for awhile. My zucchini “seemed” fully-dehydrated and crispy, when I first removed it from my toaster oven (dehydrate setting). But, it wasn’t so crispy the next day so, it’s back in there again. So, glad everything is all cut up though. This Thanksgiving weekend only “appears” long.

They shrink is simply from water. So you're getting mostly the same nutrients, just less water :) And yes, time is relative when it comes to dehydrating. Nothing takes the same amount of time, nor the same time that the books mention.

The Purposeful Pantry yes and I think additional factors may be cellular structure and chemical composition that affect drying time, in addition to temperature and humidity. Maybe even barometric pressure. Doesn’t much matter. They can only be finally vacuum sealed once completely dried.

Hi again, so what do you use the green powders for? in soups and casseroles, smoothies? do they taste bitter? are they used for flavouring or just because it is concentrated goodness....i am open to anyone answering me as i know Darcy is very busy busy busy :) xxx

This is very interesting. I've never thought of using the leaves. Do you know how to dehydrate then use dehydrated Chayote Squash? My "Dehydrator Bible" nor Google have answers for preserving these. Since they can be eaten raw or cooked, I'd like to dehydrate. I am thinking to slice 1/4 inch thick raw and dehydrate. Then they should be able to be used for whatever when rehydrated. Is my thinking on track?

Yep - works the same way as the leaves do - and you can definitely cut them down to size that you need first.

You can slice it thin once the seed has been removed. I would try one and put the slices in a bowl of water with citric acid added to prevent oxidation just try one so if it doesn’t turn out you won’t have wasted a whole batch

See if you tube has a video for stuffed chayote or what is called merliton in Cajun country. That’s how I eat them. They freeze well just like stuffed bell peppers

@@ThePurposefulPantry Hi Darcy. I'm looking to replace a product that I currently use. It's a greens powder that I just mix with water and drink. You said on your video that you are going to cook with these pumpkin greens. What are your thoughts on drinking them? Thank you so much for sharing.

You schifonad the leaves. May not be spelled correctly. Do you have to blanch them if you plan on using the powder for smoothies?
@ThePurposefulPantry
@ThePurposefulPantry 3 жыл бұрын
I don't ever blanch. You eat plenty of greens not blanched in salads. If I use them in regular food they are cooked and you gain those nutrients in those applications. But for powder, I never blanch.

Have you dehydrated grape leaves for green powder?

I have not since I don't have access to grape leaves, but since they are edible, they should work much the same way as pumpkin.
