I love this, but so many homesteading channels are focusing on freeze driers instead of dehydrating like they used to. While this video DID provide instructions for both (and I so appreciated that!) I wish more videos had more than just the freeze dry instructions.

[@frontierfishingwithryanmac1981]

Liver and onions was a childhood staple in our house! I absolutely loved it... when i use to go to daycare back in the 80's they actually use to serve it at the daycare and I was the ONLY child there who would ask for seconds... SOOO GOOD!

[@honeysucklefarm1216]

Thank you for this I’ve been trying to figure out how to get my family on beef liver!!

[@alexmac101]

Great video. I don’t like it with onions, but liver soaked in milk and then put into a stew is wonderful. Over some rice..great👌🏾

[@mariem5990]

Great video. Thank you

[@tridsonline]

👍 If you don't like the flavour of liver, try mincing it up and adding it to beef mince for bolognese sauce, or meatballs, or chilli con carne, etc. Start with 2 parts beef to 1 part liver, and adjust from there. Bacon bits also go well with liver, so try adding 2 parts of bacon bits to the mince/liver combo, and adjust from there. Also helps to stretch the beef which is a lot more costly than liver

[@COWELLGIRL]

More power to you folks who can and do 😊

[@ramonalvarado9503]

The link you gave us for the liver supplements, they don't sell them, but a whole bunch of other stores do, including Amazon.

[@calissahamilton2692]

I love being able to make my own beef liver powder. Instead of slicing the liver I just puree it and freeze dry it. 😊

[@kibibimoshi8235]

Then you eat cook or swallow

[@dancnluc1]

I am not a fan of liver, but this is a great ideal. I made fire cider, so I dried the items after it was strained, then powdered it up. I made some capsules from it.

[@mamasaurusrex5915]

I have tried so hard to like liver, but I just cannot do it! This is a great idea

[@taraandersen2022]

Thanks for this video! ❤ can’t wait to make my own.

[@rosejones2932]

If I opened up one of these and pulled it open over their food would that be cool? And what would the time if I put into the deep freezer?

[@MommaF8]

What brand of freeze dry machine do you recomend? I have a dehydrator. What is the biggest difference between a dehydrator & freeze dryer? Do you think there is there enough of a difference to get one?🤔

[@maz386]

I love this idea, I was wondering if this leaves an odor in the freeze dryer?

[@MelissaKNorris]

Nope

[@mf3610]

Hmm, I have liver and heart from a cow of ours. I only have a dehydrator and never considered I could get it dry enough to powder while keeping the benefits of it… maybe I should

[@crazedfamilygardens6442]

Heart is amazing chicken fried. Also, add to my chili it is amazing

[@stevetk8174]

I would suggest after the food processor then use something like a NutriBullet900. I have both and the NB dose a better job powdering. Also could you pack more into the pill using like a pencil eraser. just a thought

[@MelissaKNorris]

The pills are pretty full and I can't see spending the time to individually tamp each one.

[@emilyb5972]

I would dry this but i’d probably put it in the food processor first . Thanks for the video

[@emilyb5972]

Try😊

[@mf3610]

Would you put oxygen absorbers or silica packets in the mason jar with the powder?

[@MelissaKNorris]

I haven't found they're needed if using within a year

[@janetmary862]

I dehydrate raw liver slices until they are crispy dry, and keep them in the freezer to use as treats for my dog. They are dry enough to carry round in my pocket and the neighborhood doggies love them too (with permission).

[@sunnyday3506]

yum Hot Chocolate, LOL Thanks for a chuckle. Labels do a body good.

[@sowjanyalakkoju]

Does it smell when rehydrated

[@sclindah]

It's there no problem using the liver raw?

[@christymartin9404]

Can you do the same with pork liver? We raise pigs for meat & I hate liver. We usually have lots of livers in the freezers & I'd like to try this.

[@julial3325]

You need to stay away from pork and only people who are blood type O can really benefit from liver

[@lynnealong2070]

My dehydrator is a hand-me-down from hubby's Granny and doesn't have a temp setting on it. I'm going to assume this means it probably isn't safe to do raw meat in it?

[@MelissaKNorris]

You could put a thermometer in it to.see what temperature it maintains

[@jrd8640]

I grew up on liver and imo, it’s the best tasting meat out there.

[@katihenry9602]

Where did you get your capsule filling tray system?

[@MelissaKNorris]

It's linked in the video description

[@danielbroomhall8882]

I'm watching this while eating a steak of grass-fed, grass-finished lamb liver.

[@deucecoupe700]

Bet filling those capsules brings you back to your Pharmacy days. I know it does me. 😂

[@deucecoupe700]

Can you do the very same thing with other organ meat? Hearts, etc.

[@sarahjrurka]

Yes

[@LittleHomesteadOnHinerPond]

I love liver , onions and BACON!

[@samjones9465]

I hate Beef liver BUT I love lambs liver with bacon, onions and gravy with mashed potatoes and greens - yummm

[@sherimatukonis6016]

Im curious why you use the glass jars rather than non breakable storage options. You do realize that you live in earthquake territory. We dont have them often, but when we do, they're on the larger sizes.

[@MelissaKNorris]

I've lived here my whole life, all the earthquakes, no jar breakage. I use glass because it's superior.

[@thebokan]

What about pathogens? Freeze drying is not killing them

[@mballer]

Seems like a lot of work, why not put it in a pepper shaker and use it in food? Am I too lazy?

[@zairecallis554]

I think your food would have a livery after taste. Not sure I'd want to sprinkle it on fries or a salad :)

[@MelissaKNorris]

Because it would be exposed to air and reconstitute

[@thenextlevel2888]

I can’t eat, smell or have anything to do with liver. 😣😹I know it’s supposed to be good, but I can’t get past the taste or smell.

[@janieclaypool9842]

If you don’t like liver, you can always make pet treats with it.

[@mballer]

How does that help your health?

[@Keiths1234]

🙏🙏🙏♥️🙂👍

[@michaelsanchez8457]

Be aware of the risk of excessive vitamin A.

[@mballer]

Feed your children liver so they won't have a problem with it.

[@christymartin9404]

Not true for me. My mom loved liver & fixed it often as I was a child. I'm now 53 years old now & have tried it many times over the years & I just can't eat it.

[@mballer]

@@christymartin9404 Did you eat it as a child before you could remember, such as one year old?

[@janicemoyer854]

We had liver when i was growing up. I never liked it. By the age of 4 I refused to eat it and mom gave me that same plate of food for 4 days thinking eventually I would get hungry enough to eat it. That never happened! 😂

[@mballer]

@@janicemoyer854 Wow... Somehow that sounds counter productive. When's the last time you've tried it? How did she cook it? Was it the taste or texture you didn't like? How about liverwurst or liver sausage on crackers? Have you ever eaten that?

[@julial3325]

Only feed your kids liver if they blood type O since they are the only ones who can benefit from liver
