You should get one! It comes in handy for so many things! I have the dehydrator that I used linked in the video description! I have been really happy with this model so far. :) -Cara
Thanks for stopping by my channel! New subscriber. I Look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you for sharing! Blessings to you & your family 🙏🏼🕊✝💖
This is a great video! I dehydrate my spinach too and it is great! I grow Malabar spinach so that I can grow it during the summer heat. Your powder looks fantastic!
@@bluebirdhomestead I think it is a little more earthy. I prefer regular spinach better, but I’m not a huge fan of raw spinach anyway. When I make cooked spinach and creamed spinach the Malabar spinach is good. It is also great to dehydrate and use as a green powder.
@@MayfieldRanch That’s good to know! We grew “winter spinach” this year and everything has bolted already. I may have to try some of the malabar spinach next summer 😊👍 Thanks for sharing!
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.. I just want to say that i'm really appreciate and enjoy what you have shared. Thank you so much my friend.
That’s awesome! I have never tried dehydrating leeks before. I do add in Kale and other leafy greens from the garden to this powder as well throughout the growing season. 😊 What do you use the leek powder in?
Wow. I never thought of dehydrating spinach. I have a long growing spinach season and this is definitely a great way of varying the dishes I make. Just need to buy a dehydrator lol
You should definitely get a dehydrator! 😊😊😊 There are so many ways you can use it with a garden 😊I have a link in the description of this video to the dehydrator I have and the silicone mats. I am very happy with this dehydrator, whatever variety of dehydrator you buy try to get one that you can get silicone mats for. They are so handy!
We also dehydrate the kale for smoothies too! 😊This spinach variety is called “winter spinach” I sowed it last fall, so if it overwintered here. We are in zone 7. What zone are you?
@@HomesteadOnAPrayer Yes our bolts pretty quickly too. However since I sowed this variety in the fall it leafed our early this spring so we have been enjoy for several months now 😊
You should! It is so easy too, there are only so many spinach salads we can eat haha. It is a great way to sneak in some extra vitamins for the kids (and myself haha) too.
Greetings from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 Your Spinach powder looks great. You could add that to everything. A nice yogurt dip with veggies would be wonderful way to get the little ones to eat more veggies. Excellent content, Cara🌿💚🌿
Ohhhh a yogurt dip sounds fantastic! I am going to make one tomorrow Peggy haha 😀 We have lots of sugar snap peas and carrots we are eating. A dip sounds splendid 😋
Wow great idea Cara I have never thought of doing that with spinach but then again I am probably not growing spinach again Gerald prefers kales and brassica leaves. Looks like a spider sac I would put in the “forested” area spiders are good but don’t want the kids getting bit. Have a fantastical week 🐝 safe
You can also dehydrate kale leaves and use that in the same way! We love making Kale “chips” to eat. Thank you for the tip on the spider. I wasn’t sure what it was or if it would survive since I took it out of its protected spot so I did end up feeding it to the chickens. I am always going to check my leaves extra carefully in the future though. That wouldn’t be pleasant to bite into haha 😝
Hi cara! Great job on the spinach! So fresh and I love that green!! 👏🥬 you had a nice day for it too :) loved the tip you gave of purring it before dehydrating it to save on room, that was great! Enjoy that super powder!! 🙌🏼❤️🌻
Hello Anita my friend! 😊 The blended up spinach worked out great, that is now going to be my preferred way of doing it. It did require a few more hours on the dehydrator, but it was quick and easy!
We have also frozen some of our spinach as well! dehydrating takes up a lot less space, but if you are wanting whole leaves saved for making creamed spinach or something freezing may be a better option 😊
Loved the butterfly. I love dehydrating stuff like this. Even to use as dye later like for some spooky monster mash potatoes for Halloween. Or added to onion dip for Monster Vomit. I did that for my cousin's party one year and the kids LOVED eating the Monster Vomit. So fun. Cheers!
@@bluebirdhomestead I've used cooked spinach to dye the flat bread but I'll have to try spinach. The beet powder made at home really dyes stuff. My bad, I didn't die the monster vomit with that at the time. I love to dehydrate semi-mushed raw cranberries in real-down-the-road, maple syrup and then use the dried goodies in bakes. But really, anything. If I can dry it, I try. Chilis are also another fave of mine. So useful. Onions are lovely but do stink up my kitchen. But really, anything. I just like to play. You?
@@TheHappyWhisk I have never thought about dehydrating maple syrup before! That is so cool! It sounds like you really have tried a lot of different things. We like making powders and also a big favorite is any type of fruit. Whenever we dehydrate bananas it doesn’t ever even make it to the container haha.
@@bluebirdhomestead LOVE pineapple. Yes, fruit rocks. So great. The maple, not too much and the semi-blitzed cranberries just bake up so well in scones. Hubby likes Orange Cranberry. All winter long and with the extra sweet maple, I don't need anymore sugars added. Sounds like you have fun too. How great are powders! I make Jalapeno Dust. Soooo god. Happy Weekend!
@@TheHappyWhisk Cranberry scones or muffins are sooo good! I have a pineapple on the counter I may just have to try and dehydrate some of it now that you have mentioned it haha
Great idea !! Well worth doing, and adds nutrients to lots of dishes. We do have a dehydrator but definitely will look into it. Where'd you get yours and would you recommend it ? Cheers you two Jason and Colleen 🌱🦋🥬
I would definitely recommend my dehydrator. I have a link in the video notes to the exact dehydrator and silicone mats we have. It comes in a few different size options. I would recommend the larger size like we have (9tray) especially once your garden harvest is in full swing, because we fill ours up easily every time we use it. :)
I really like our dehydrator! The link to the exact one I have is in the description of the video if you are interested. I would purchase it again. I am glad I went with the bigger one too!
I have tried multiple times to grow spinach. Everyone says how easy it is to grow. Not for me. I have babied it. I have sang to it. I have threatened it. I have read from the Good Book to it. Even prayed over it. But it doesn't grow. If it ever did grow, I think I would want to dehydrate it and grind it just to prolong its agony for the misery it has put me through. lol
HAHAH That is hilarious! Have you ever tried winter sowing? I sowed this "winter spinach" last fall and it popped up out of the ground around Jan-Feb this year. We are in zone 7 so most spinach always bolts in the heat of the summer for me.
@@bluebirdhomestead Well, I live in south MS, so too cold is generally not an issue. I have planted it at different times and get it to come up, but it comes up sporadically and dies off pretty quickly. May just be my seeds.
@@LifewithBlindaandChuckOhhh gotcha. This year the spinach seed I bought was from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange called Winter Spinach if you want to give it a try next fall! 😊😊
Hi there Cara and Ryan this is not something we have heard of before as most people we know who like it eat it fresh in one way or other, I don't grow it as val is allergic to it , keep safe Bill and val
Sorry to hear Val is allergic! We eat a lot of it fresh as well, but it’s nice to be able to have variety and preserve it quickly before it goes bad. You guys could also dehydrated your other greens like Kale for a powder too. We do assorted veggie tops too 😆😊

Oh love this ideal of having it for smoothies!
We really enjoy it and honestly you can’t even tell it’s in there flavor wise haha
That spinach powder for smoothie is so good
Indeed! So easy to make too 😊
I love spinach and have it every week, I really do need to get a dehydrator, this video really helps I could do this with a lot of my herbs 🌸💕🌸

@@bluebirdhomestead I shall look into it Cara xx
@@jasminelouisefarrall Let me know if you have any questions! The silicone matts are great, but they don't come with it unfortunately. -Cara
like 30, very informative and nice tutorial, thanks for sharing ❤️
Thank you so much 😊 I am so glad you enjoyed it!
5:57: Just wild how that spinach looks! Love the idea of dehydration!
It is always fun to play around with the dehydrator 😊 It is a great way to preserve food!
So beautiful sharing thank you upload 💙💙

Thank you so much. That is so true, pausing to soak up the little moments in life is something not to be taken for granted for sure 💚
This is cool, we make leek powder regularly but never spinach. Great👍
That’s awesome! I have never tried dehydrating leeks before. I do add in Kale and other leafy greens from the garden to this powder as well throughout the growing season. 😊 What do you use the leek powder in?
I love this idea! I love a green smoothie!
Smoothies are the best, especially on a warm summer day! 😊
Great idea! Thanks for sharing with us 😀😀
I am glad you enjoyed it! 😊
never thought of dehydrating them , great idea for my next crop
You should definitely give it a shot! Let me know how it goes 😊

@@bluebirdhomestead thankyou for your info. I'll definitely look at what's available here in Australia 🇦🇺 😀
@@downundervlogs 😊😊😊 It’s definitely fun to try and dehydrate different things! Have fun 😊😊
I did this with kale and am planning to do the same with my spinach this weekend!
That’s awesome! It is such an easy way to preserve your greens 🥬 😊 I hope it worked out well for you this weekend!
Fantastic idea.
Thank you 😊
Great job! Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you so much Momma J!
Hello, I really liked your video. Good luck and have a nice day!👌❤🌹
Thank you so much 😊 I hope you have a great day too!
Your spinach looks great! I’ve never been able to get mine to grow so well. I’ve made a similar powder out of kale, and it’s great for smoothies!
We also dehydrate the kale for smoothies too! 😊This spinach variety is called “winter spinach” I sowed it last fall, so if it overwintered here. We are in zone 7. What zone are you?
@@bluebirdhomestead I’m in zone 6. I’ll have to look for that variety - it always bolts early when I plant it in spring!
@@HomesteadOnAPrayer Yes our bolts pretty quickly too. However since I sowed this variety in the fall it leafed our early this spring so we have been enjoy for several months now 😊

Nice job. Way to pack a lot of greens in your diet.
We try haha. With kids it is particularly helpful to sneak a few extra veggies into things in with this powder.
Awesome! I need to start dehydrating our own greens for smoothies too!
You should! It is so easy too, there are only so many spinach salads we can eat haha. It is a great way to sneak in some extra vitamins for the kids (and myself haha) too.
Thanks for sharing how you do you hydrated your spinach great video hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie
Thank you so much 😊 Have you ever dehydrated spinach before?

You could probably hang them to dry like you would herbs. You can also dehydrate things in your oven as well 😊
