OH MY SQUASH! Harvesting and Dehydrating Summer Squash/Zucchini.

Summer Squash...we are convinced...could solve world hunger. Heck, one plant could provide your whole neighborhood with enough zucchini for the summer. One goal we have with our summer squash is to grow enough to share...another goal is to figure out how to store it for those times when we need it...but we don't to buy it. Dehydrating is an easy and safe method to preserve zucchini for years! Dehydrating garden veggies is so easy and can shrink those tons of produce into small, light, easy to use portions.

You guys are awesome! It's great when you can Shop from your own healthy pantry. ☺

[@4KidsandaFarm]

We just have to find the time to harvest and preserve it all LOL!

[@janetwithers7427]

Wish I had a dehydrator. Your garden is producing wonderfully. The flowers are gorgeous too. 💕

[@4KidsandaFarm]

Thank you so much 😊 we have used our dehydrator quite a bit over the years. it has been a great investment.

[@MamaTtoB-P]

Rachel I love dehydrating zucchini!! I sprinkle a tad of sea salt, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese on it. It re-hydrates so beautifully! Your zinnias and sunflowers look beautiful! I planted so many seeds and only have one zinnia and one sunflower. I just put a bunch more in the ground.

[@4KidsandaFarm]

that sounds delicious! we will have to try it for sure.

[@chrisryan5339]

Great job thanks for sharing folks. Chris from England.

[@4KidsandaFarm]

Our pleasure!

[@4KidsandaFarm]

Thanks Chris!

[@monkeypuzzlefarm]

I have just got a dehydrator to sort out my next zucchini harvest. I am also going to be trying out canning.

[@4KidsandaFarm]

It's surprising what you can dehydrate...almost anything!

[@saia2205ify]

Thanks for you video. What is the name of that plastic fencing you have?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

How do you use the dehydrated squash and zucchini?

[@4KidsandaFarm]

They are great as snacks, kind of like chips, or throwing them in soup during the winter. We even dried shredded zucchini and we are going to see if it can be used for zucchini bread!

[@2MorMor]

LOCK YOUR CAR DOORS - it's Zucchini Season!

[@neverenoughacresboergoats6581]

Do you need to seal the jars you store the zucchini in. If so how do you do it.

[@4KidsandaFarm]

we don't, we used a sealing lid but that's what we had. using a plastic lid is fine. we even reuse spaghetti jars with the lids that come with them.

[@neverenoughacresboergoats6581]

@@4KidsandaFarm thanks I will check into a dehydrator. When you get ready to use do you eat like that or soak in water.

[@pennywillis8895]

🇦🇺Can you powder zucchini?

[@4KidsandaFarm]

You probably can…what would you do with it?

[@pennywillis8895]

@4 Kids and a Farm Use as a thicker in soups, casseroles or a base for a soup, In bread, muffins. What the grandkids can’t see they won’t reject. When I was a foster parent I would purée all the veggies (egg plant, onions, squash, pumpkin, bell peppers, mushrooms, leek, celery etc) and add it to the sauce for lasagna, spaghetti or in gravy. When foster kids say “my Donald’s” not McDonald’s or the parents say about their three year old, “they only eat hash browns “ . You know you need to hide everything.

Jealous of your spaghetti squash
