I started using my egg slicer to slice strawberries. Works like a charm!

[@kerryvollmer1828]

Yum! I love how crispy they come out.

I really enjoyed and learned so much from this concise video. Thanks so much!!

I'm so glad!

Great video thank you for posting

[@ryanpaul5604]

Cool video!

[@lisadeluca5714]

wonderful ty

[@AlaskanBearsVlogs]

Oh my gosh! Something I have always wanted to do! Just came over from Life Goes North channel and look at that! So excited to try this and looking forward to your channel 😍

[@wholefedhomestead]

Thank you so much!!

[@kristindisney5800]

Excited to try this out! Strawberries are one fruit I've never dried. I always freeze them for smoothies. These look amazing, though.

[@BlandsPromisedLandRanch]

Great video and thank you for sharing your method. I have a rigid round dehydrator and find that I get a bunch of broken strawberries!! Considering a new dehydrator as I type. Also, you might want to try using the vacuum sealer to suck the air from the jar for longer storage! ~M

[@P3rmissionD3ni3d]

That stem removal method is awesome. I’ve been trying to find ways to not waste as much as possible. My method was a shallow v cut. I’m going to try your way!

[@wholefedhomestead]

Glad it was helpful!

[@thewildingslanding]

Those look delicious! I'm experimenting with dehydrating offgrid. I may try the car as you did with the sun jam.

[@wholefedhomestead]

I bet that will work great! I know herbs dry very quickly in the car!

[@missourimongoose8858]

I like dropping them in my green or white teas and then eat them when they get soft again lol

[@markkristynichols845]

Beautiful berries! What variety? Thanks, Kristy in Missouri zone 6b 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@beepingwithbeppe6376]

So funny that you should post this today. I did the exact same thing. I dehydrated a whole whack of strawberries in my Excalibur dehydrator as well. Aren’t they the best?

[@wholefedhomestead]

Yes!! So good!

[@chipbutta406]

What is the temperature setting that you recommend for strawberries

[@Deborah-hn3rt]

Are ur dehydrated strawberries 🍓 crispy or chewy? My grandkids loves the crunchy ones I buy for them at the store. But those get expensive when buying for 8 or 9 kids. So I want to start dehydrating them myself. Thanks dg

[@wholefedhomestead]

They're kind of in between... crisp but with a chewy texture. They are not crunchy like freeze dried ones.

[@kindredinspirit]

Do you vacuum seal the mason jars or just hand tighten the lid?

[@wholefedhomestead]

Just hand tighten, though if I had a jar vacuum I’d probably use it here!

[@billr6344]

Can you put a light coating of oil on the tray to keep them from sticking?

[@wholefedhomestead]

I wouldn’t do that, no.

[@FatimaKhanfk]

i dont have dehydrator :(

[@patriciaellen09]

I went 11.5 hours on 122 I have a cheaper dehydrator....do you have any tips for me because mine were still not chips they are gummy in the middle and I sliced mine half as thick as you did

[@wholefedhomestead]

They might take a couple days with a less powerful dehydrator… just let them dehydrate until they are crisp. 👍🏻

[@user-tu6sn7hq7h]

Can I use the strawberries for fruit leather? And how would I do this?

[@wholefedhomestead]

Once they are dried? No

[@rq8045]

do they taste the same as the freeze dried ones from the store? or does this process make them different?

[@wholefedhomestead]

Dehydrating and freeze drying are very different- these are more like a fruit leather quality. 👍🏻

[@addison752]

How much time does strawberry take from frozen?

[@wholefedhomestead]

I wouldn’t do this with frozen strawberries

[@Iamshininglight]

Is the DIGITAL Excalibur best dehydrator on the market in order to keep the vitamins, nutriments intact? I saw that Excalibur has a digital ones now. Pricy however, since you have expérience, I need your opinion on that. 👉Does it have a BPA free trays? Your answer Thank you

[@wholefedhomestead]

The fact that it’s digital has nothing to do with nutrient retention in dehydrated foods. I wouldn’t personally recommend the digital one- not necessary in my opinion. BPA-free doesn’t really mean anything anyways, kind of a green washing term. But if you don’t want plastic trays they make stainless steel ones too.

[@Iamshininglight]

@@wholefedhomestead THANK YOU VERY MUCH. How about the BPA free trays. Are they BPA free? ☀️💫

[@CrazzyOntarian]

​@Iamshininglight BPA free is just a green washing term and doesn't trust mean anything unless you're putting hot liquids in something, and even then, it's more of a sales pitch then a real concern

[@SeekChrist82]

I saw u put them in a jar. Do u air-seal them or just put a lid on & put them n your pantry? TIA

[@wholefedhomestead]

Just a regular lid and in the pantry 👍🏻

[@SeekChrist82]

@@wholefedhomestead How long do they last in a jar stored?

[@azanepsilon]

​@@SeekChrist821 year

[@EXTREMERC416]

I dehydrated for the first time. Anything i dehydrate has that horrible dehydrated taste i tried to avoid by doing myself. I wanted to try it on store bought strawberries and it just doesnt taste good

[@wholefedhomestead]

Hmm… I’ve never dehydrated anything and thought it had a bad or off flavor.
