You’re welcome.

Thank you for showing the whole process. I learnt so much. What is the black pepper for?

[@vastharvestpermaculture]

Thanks Sandra. The black pepper is needed to activate the cucumin in turmeric.

Did you pre freeze the tumeric before putting it into the freeze dryer?

[@vastharvestpermaculture]

Yes we usually pre freeze most things before putting them in the freezer dryer

Do you know the correct ratio of powdered pepper to powdered turmeric when doing such a large batch? Many thanks 😊

[@vastharvestpermaculture]

It depends on the use and the quality of the pepper and turmeric. There is conflicting information online but the general rule we stick to is 100:1. This works out to around 1.5 teaspoons of black pepper powder to half of a cup of Tumeric.

@@vastharvestpermaculture thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 😊

[@kristybates5448]

Can I ask where you got your freeze dryer from?

[@vastharvestpermaculture]

Yes this is the large model from Harvest Right Freeze Dryers. We imported this one to Australia it I believe that Oz Farmer have been stocking some as well.

Thankyou for getting back to me so quickly. Muchly appreciated 😁 I'll take a look at Oz farmers soon.
