Homemade Lemon Powder
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ส.ค. 2021
- We dehydrated and freeze dried lemons and then made powder three ways. After we powdered it in the blender, we placed the powder back in the dehydrator to drive off the last of the moisture. The result was perfect lemon powder that has many uses and is shelf stable for months.
Note: Since lemonade is made from only the juice of lemons, this powder would not work well for that considering it contains both the pith and the peel. We will do another video on how to make powder for making lemonade.

I can't figure what I love more, the fabulous information, the delightful articulate hostess, or the devoted cameraman!
Thank you for that lovely comment! I will pass that along to my devoted cameraman!
All of the above 😊👍🏼
I agree! After looking at other channels, I always come back to RoseRed. It’s my comfort & inspiration channel.
@@RoseRedHomestead Rose Please put a fan facing the freeze dry, it does over heat and if the room is warm to begin with you must keep a fan towards the motor or you freeze dry want last.
Use a fan on high towards your freeze dry when on use to keep it from over heating, do this and your machine can last.👍
I absolutely LOVE when you are playful. I laughed so hard when you tasted the lemon with peel on and you were playful. I like seeing your true personality coming through. Love that you're so knowledgeable and precise with your videos and if you don't know about it, you spend the time to understand it in depth. Oh, and tell your husband he does an excellent job, too.
This Jim responding and we had a lot of fun with that video, too. Yes, the look on Pam's face was priceless during the taste test.
Me too; laughed out loud!
I laughed so much! Thank you!
@@RoseRedHomestead I wasn't there, but I think I made a similar face just watching her. LOL
Pam, I laughed so hard when I saw your taste test. You are the best! I don't know how your husband filmed it without cracking up :-) Thank you both for your dedication, research, and sharing what you learn with us. I love your honesty/transparency. God bless you!
Goals!!
I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes! So funny!
Your scientific approach makes this the most interesting and informative channel on the internet. You are a very skilled presenter and Mr. Jim is a very skilled videographer. Ha, ha, ha, I love the faces you made from the taste test!!! Absolutely LOVE your channel. Thank you
Thank you very much! We both appreciate your comments.
Whenever I need a relaxing break from the world, I binge your videos. They have the added benefit of being informative. Your the Bob Ross of prepping. Thank you.
Wow--thank you!
Couldn't have said that better myself .. such a practicle approach to preparedness I love this channel
Lol, omg so true. I'm not a prepped but I found her by looking up can you can with old spaghetti jars. Her video was among the suggestions and I've been hooked. Lol
@@Lexielouwho Morning
I have wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your video's. I have learned invaluable information from you. As a nurse, I realized this last year that the world around us is very unsettling and scary. You have helped me step up my game, on being prepared. I know what you and your husband are doing takes endless hours. You both are my heroes, can not even find words to thank you both! Please pray for the health care workers, we are exhausted. Many, many THANKS!
I so admire what you do, Theresa. I have three children--a son, a daughter, and a daughter-in-law who are nurses as well and I pray for them and all health care workers daily. You are the heroes in this day and age!
So glad you like my plastic tip!
Yes I do! It is fabulous! I am glad you watched so you could hear me give you credit!
The expressions when you tasted the lemon powder was priceless! I have some dehydrated as well but I haven't used it yet. I really need to start using it.
LOL--thanks.
So funny to watch you taste those lemons with the peel on :) Thanks for all the hard work you do and sharing your knowledge with us! I dehydrated caramelized onions the other day and they were fabulous!!!!! I could eat them like candy!
I have been trying to find a salt free lemon pepper seasoning and this is PERFECT!
I have been gathering mine and will add sea salt.. but do have the ingredients amounts to use?
I loved the taste testing! I bet Jim was having a hard time not laughing out loud during the filming!
I have dehydrated lemons and limes I did a month ago. I'm going to go make powder from some of them! Thanks for another great video!
Yes, he did! LOL
How do you store them?
@@marshamilne right now I just have mine in Ziploc baggies with the air squeezed out.
Thanks for taking one for the team! Love your videos.
Glad you like them! Thanks.
Never EVER thought of putting plastic wrap on the top of the blender!!! Thank youa
Awesome! A lot of work went in to this video as always.
Appreciate it.
Thank you. That means a lot.
Thank you Pam. I'm now on a quest to make a V8 powder. You are so inspiring.
Let me know how that goes. Great idea!
We do it in out FDer
I just made some veggie juice powder in my freeze dryer and it turned out great! I freeze dried carrots, celery, sweet peppers, cucumbers, spinach, beets, parsley, and purple cabbage. Once it was done I powdered it up then mixed it with some tomato powder I had on hand (2 parts veggie powder to 1 part tomato powder). I also added turmeric powder, pink salt, and ground pepper to the mix. I add 1/4 cup of the powder mix to 2 cups of water (with a little ice to keep it cold), then blend it well. It’s a bit strong tasting, but the tomato powder helps mellow it a little. I am going to try making my own tomato powder when I get garden fresh tomatoes, I’ll probably cook them down to a thick tomato sauce and then freeze dry the sauce.
@@sharonerekson583 Thank you for sharing this! I'm excited to try it.
Thanks for the taste comparisons. I appreciate the hard work you and Jim put into these videos. And I wasn't laughing at you. I was laughing 😅 with you 🤣.
Oh, sure you were! LOL. Thanks for your comments and for watching.
Loving all of the powdered food videos. Thank you!
Glad you like them! Thanks.
I love your videos! One suggestion for you: if you leave out one small piece when you're blending , you can place the piece next to the jar of powder for a visual reminder of what's in the jar. I hope that makes sense.
Interesting idea. Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE all the information you give!!!
Totally authentic reactions to tasting lemon. lol I love watching this gentle lady.
I love these powder ideas … I will be trying them (as soon as I get my HarvestRight!). 1st one is the broccoli soup I saw in your previous video. Thank you!
Great choice! thanks.
You had me 😂🤣 during the tasting. Thank you for sharing your impressions
My pleasure 😊
I completely love your scientific approach. And your funny facial expressions - when your eye closed after tasting that sour lemon powder. I FELT how sour that was! So hilarious!!!
Your reaction when that pure lemon flavor hit ya . . . priceless and just tooo cute! We've all been there 😂🤣
Hi there! I’m enjoying your vids! Thanks for comparing and testing! When I powder ingredients, if they need more time to dry, I sift them through a little strainer and I only dry the bits that don’t powder. Sometimes I just store them in a separate marked container. Like “celery powder” and “celery bits”. Great uses for both and no need to reddy them. They have stored over two years.
Good to know! Thank you.
Hahahahahaaa .... You made me laugh out loud when you tasted the dehydrated with the peel - that was funny!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! LOL
Bless you for going through the taste test. Your commitment to providing viewers the full experience is beyond compare. Thank you!
LOL! You are welcome!
So excited you did this. I have a bag of lemons I keep looking at thinking I should do something with them, now I know what I'll do. Thanks so much Pam.
You are very welcome! Have fun!
Oh man I wish I had seen this a few days ago! I went through 8 lemons and threw out the peels. I will definitely be doing this. We love lemons
Thanks for sharing.
There are different benefits in peel than the fruit. Actually, more vitamin C in peel. Also can freeze and use later for stock or any other option.
I just adore you and your husband. I love your channel. You have covered so many prepping/canning videos that truly cover so many things that many people can learn from.
One particular video you did was whether we could use the insta pot for canning. The thoroughness for which you put forth was excellent. I was amazed that you were able to use a special thermometer (which you were able to use from one of the University’s), that actually fit in the pot with the jars and was able to record how hot it got. Yes, I was amazed how far you took the research, for that I thank you.
I love this lemon video. ♥️
Your lemon taste test demo was priceless🤣🤣🤣🤣 rolling on the floor.
Thank you for your kind words--we really appreciate that. So glad you enjoy the videos--even the lemon taste test! LOL
You are so brave to try those all-great job! Thanks for the info
Lol thank you for all your blunt honesty. You are too cute tasting. Gave this momma a good giggle thank you.
You are welcome!
This is awesome!! I never have lemons when I need them. Thank you!!
Glad you liked it!
This was great, comical too, had to watch twice, the first one I laughed so hard I teared up and couldn’t see.
So glad you got a good laugh at my expense! Actually when I was editing it, I laughed at myself as well. Thanks for your comments.
OMG!! Pam your facial expressions told us everything!!
I could not control myself. LOVED IT!!
I so remembered when I first started making powder. I had the exact same expressions.
I live making lemonade with mine.
I absolutely loved your facial expression when tasting the lemon powder. PRICELESS! What a great idea to dry lemons and powdering them for later use.
Thanks so much! I laughed at myself when I was editing the video when I got to that part!
Another wonderful video! You are a treasure trove of information and ideas. Thank you for sharing your time, energy, and knowledge so that we can expand our food preservation skills.
You are very welcome.
Thank you so much for sharing this video, your face during the taste test made my whole jawline lock down, I could actually feel the lemon pucker myself. Psychosomatic as all get out 🤗
I was scrolling through your other videos and playlists and absolutely had to subscribe to your channel. Thank you so much once again I'll probably be binge watching all night!
Thank you so much for your kind remarks and for subbing--Welcome! We are very glad you found us.
Thank you so much for showing the comparison! This has helped me make my decision!
Loving your videos. The first taste test was classic. Perfect lemon flavor face. I laughed so hard. I am looking forward to purchasing a dehydrator. You are an excellent teacher and very detailed. I’ve been binge watching for about a week now. Looking forward to making some dehydrated onions and celery first as I use both all the time. Great time saver!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really enjoy videos such as this making comparisons of technique or ingredients. They are immensely helpful. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
I agree!
Your face expression was priceless 🤣🍋
Love what you teach us 🍋
Thanks!
Miss Pam, So pleased that your powder was able to have the last of the moisture removed!!! I would never have thought to make lemon powder!!! Love your videos on powders and how to use them. Excellent job!!
Thank you so much!
Hey, Pam! Love your videos! I bought a dehydrator because of you and have been using it all week.
That is fantastic! I am delighted to hear it.
Hi Pam.Thank you for the video! I think that for the last batch (the one without the zests), if after zesting them you raw peel and divide them like we do with grapefruits, you'll end up with raw lemon quarters that you could freeze dry. No more bitterness outcome. I know, it's a little more work, but now they sell very good serrated paring knives and it makes that kind of job very easy. I don't know how that will impact the lemony flavor but who knows? Maybe you'll end up with a good raw lemonade base. All the best.
I laughed so hard when you tasted the strong ones 😂😂 your expressions...oranges ,grapefruit and limes would be good too
LOL--yes, I know! I made myself laugh as well when I was editing the video. The other citrus would be good--I agree.
I appreciate your honesty in tasting your creations! I'll have to pull out my dehydrator and try my own adventure. Thanks 😊
Love your channel and the scientific approach you bring to prepping/cooking methods. Thanks for tasting all those lemons! The reaction was so honest, you' re fantastic! :0)
Thank you!
The one with more bitterness you can use to make bitterlemon, it's delicious!!!
I've never dried lemons.
When I use fresh lemon juice, I always cook the peels afterwards to make bitterlemon (when you ferment the drink for one day you get also the gas inside). The peels after cooking aren't bitter anymore so you can make candies and bath them in chocolate, a very delicious sweet.
Maybe the cooked peels can be dried and powdered too (when you can resist not to eat them) They are delicious and they still have a lot of flavor.
So happy I found your channel 💕 …. Love your content as usual. Much love to you both 💕
We are glad you found us as well! Welcome!
the is the most wholesome channel ive ever seen. keep on going girl do yo thing
Thank you so much.
Looking at a countertop dishwasher for my tiny apartment the one I'm looking most seriously at has a Fruit Washing cycle. New to me but sounds like the way to go for store bought fruits and vegetables.
On top of all that I Adore Lemon ! Thank you for the tests . . . Hitting Costco again soon!
That is so cool! I have never heard of that before but I hope you try it!
Miss Pam, I’m delighted that you covered this topic. I’ve been thinking about doing the same thing myself, but was wondering about the nuances. Thank you for being willing to do the experimentation and to share it with us, so we’ve already got a head start on our dehydration of lemons.
That plastic bag idea is sheer genius. Big thank you to whoever sent that in! Serious game changer there, when all we wanna do is get something done and packaged up properly as quickly as possible, Without having to stop and deal with food getting flipped up into the lid.
By way of giving back, and especially for people who want to save on the energy, When it comes to drying lemon peels, there is an easy trick that saves a lot of energy. When you peel the lemon, if you hold your peeler and just rotate the lemon with the other hand, you can get all the peel off in one continuous strip. Then, you can just hang it over a rack in the kitchen, and when you come back a few hours later, it’s dry. Or at least that’s how it works in my kitchen, and I live in a cold and humid location just slightly above sea level. Mind you, it leaves the peels more golden than sunshiny yellow, but it doesn’t seem to affect the flavor. I use them for tea, and they taste as nice when they’re dried that way as they are when they’re fresh for that use.
Mind you, your powdering idea looks divine; as soon as I’ve got a new batch of anything to do with lemons done tomorrow, it’s all going in the blender! I’ve got half a bag of Costco lemons there, and they may have to go in the dehydrator tomorrow after seeing this today.
Thank you so much! :-)
Great video and your facial reaction was priceless! Thank you.
😊 thank you!
Oh, my goodness! I have laughed and laughed at the taste test. You were just perfect! This vid has been saved in my favorites as a part of my emergency preparedness as laughter is good medicine. ♥️😂
OK it is time for you to consider coming out with a book and DVD. Lately I find myself returning to your video's more and more for reference. I also find my self sharing your videos in my facebook groups. PLEASE consider it. Thanks.
Yes!!!!!! Please!
In know...I know. If only there were more hours in the day. It is on our list to do after we retire. Thanks you for encouraging us in this direction.
@@RoseRedHomestead it would be a fun project ( yeh, I enjoy writing projects) and you are the perfect person to author it. So here is to retirement. 😉
I love you Ms. Rosered. I love Lemons. HAPPY Saturday to you.
Probably not. Vitamin c is not a very stable molecule.
Thanks! And to you as well.!
Thank you very much for providing your followers with this education .I enjoy the knowledge
I am so glad I found this channel! Thank you!!
We are glad you found us as well. Welcome!
Thank you for these videos would love to see a freeze dryer demo ….lemon powder yummy
We have done several and will keep doing them as well.
@@RoseRedHomestead at some point we’ll be purchasing one and your videos provides priceless information thank you for taking the time making them 🌺
Try this with over a dozen lemons that I brought back from Florida during the winter and was amazed at the results! Thank you so much for this wonderful tip
You are welcome.
You are wonderful. Thank you for all you do. Many blessings on you.
Ok I was giggling with the taste test! LoL love this video. Very informative. 💜
Reminder: the bitter pithy part is where the bioflavonoids are located! Use in your Heath drinks sparingly. 😊
please explain...
@@dymondwillow2 I don’t mean to sound like it’s a danger, just that it is bitter. But oh so good for you. Bioflavonoids helped me with strengthening my blood vessels to stop bruising.
@@jayshelton2765 back in the day, they told us not to eat the pith.
@@judykindelberger3905 the days of the wondrous invention of white white bread. 😄
I love the pith and always eat it on oranges or lemons.
LOVE your passion for experimenting. Lemon powder would be great to have on hand.
Have you tried to make powdered ginger using fresh ginger root? Lemon and ginger play well together in many recipes.
That does sound lovely. I have not yet done ginger, but it is a great idea. Thanks for the tip.
@lyn pat - I hand grind my ginger and I put it in everything, but never thought to add lemon powder. I have a pound of dried lemon zest. Thank you for the great idea!!
So thankful to have come across your channel. Wonderful information!
Thank you very much. We are also glad you found us!
Pam you had me cracking up. Your facial expressions after tasting the 2nd and 3rd lemon powders was hilarious!
LOL. I made myself laugh over that part when I was editing the video!
Oh Love what you did Ms. Pam. Great experiment! What ones or one would you use to make your own Lemon Pepper Seasoning? I do Remove the peel form oranges and Put them in the dehydrator have tried lemon once when I needed some for a recipe. Cannot wait to see how you uses these. Now back to the store for lemons. Oh Well such is life sometimes. I have recommended your channel of several other channels. Several people love yours aas much as I and my friends do. Thank you both for all that you do to help and teach us.
LOL--love your comment, Patricia. Thanks. Will do a video soon on uses for this powder.
This looks amazing! I have a question about your vacuum sealer...is it special for sealing mason jars? Or is it some sort of addition to a "normal" vacuum sealer (that will seal meat in bags, for example). I'd like to find one to purchase for my dry goods. Thanks to your instructional videos, I now have some swiss chard/spinach powder ready to go for wintertime smoothies!
Ah, just found this video that answered my question! th-cam.com/video/u_OZ09VJk7o/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=RoseRedHomestead
Glad you found the information.
Taking a bullet for the team, bravo!
How nice of you to show us your entire process! I'm thoroughly enjoying your videos.
I'm so glad! Thank you for your comment.
Sorry Pam, but you had me laughing pretty hard when you were doing the taste test. Such an honest reaction to the lemon.
Thanks. Made me laugh at myself when I edited the video!
LOL
I rewinded that part 3x. Hahaha 🤣 Thank you for not editing it out.
Thank you so much for your videos! They are so informative!! I was wondering if you knew how long powdered veggies will last in a jar? And would they last even longer in the freezer? Thank you!!
I am guessing about two years and yes, they would last longer in the freezer.
@@RoseRedHomestead Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for doing the dehydrator method. I just got mine and can't wait till next payday to buy frozen veggies and some lemons. I'm so excited to begin my adventures with your videos.
That is fabulous! I am so excited for you! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for showing different ways and parts of drying lemons.
You are so welcome!
If you are going to powder foods. Would it be easier if you blended it first then poured it on the trays to dehydrate or freeze dry?
Some people do it that way but for me it is an extra step. Great question!
What a great idea!
@@samme1024 Thanks! I like to cut big pieces and save time on cutting piece by piece by letting my vitamix do the grunt work or if its something I can cook in the over I still like to cut big pieces and then blend.
Thank you again! I've dehydrated lemons but never thought to powder them! Next step. Have you ever dehydrated oranges or limes? Then they can be powdered as well.
I want to see how useful this lemon powder is before I do more citrus.
@@RoseRedHomestead I sometimes use it in home made taco seasoning. It gives the meat mixture a good lift!
Thanks for your willingness to experiment for us! I’m just catching up on some of your videos!
You are very welcome.
This video was just what I needed!! I’ve started my own food stock pile and was wondering today, how I could use dehydrated lemons.
Hoping to make this lemon powder as an emergency back up for lemonade. That’s my go to homemade drink when my kiddos get sick!
Sounds like it would make some great lemonade. Be interested in knowing what happened after final dehydration took place.
She put the result in the description under the video: "After we powdered it in the blender, we placed the powder back in the dehydrator to drive off the last of the moisture. The result was perfect lemon powder that has many uses and is shelf stable for months."
This powder is not the best for making lemonade. Remember, it has the peel and the pith in it. I will be making a lemon juice powder that should be much more suited to make lemonade--I will make a video.
Every time I dehydrate lemons or oranges, within a short time they turn brown. Oddly, citrus juice is used to keep other things from turning brown - lol .... Store-bought is brightly colored and makes me think they may be freeze dried.
Ha! Funny! My lemon powder is brown too. I end up using it for the garbage disposal.
If yours turn brown in the jar you might try using an O2 absorber Pack in the storage jar.
From what I've heard on another channel that is mostly dehydrating, citrus has to be dehydrated at a lower temperature and for a longer time.
@@danam.8709 - Thanks, had not thought of that! I enjoy using dried lemon/lime/orange in my cooking- guess I gave up too soon, I'll try that next time.
I agree with Sue's comment.
I am SOOOO glad to have scrolled across your video. I freeze lemon zest and lemon juice in silicone ice cube trays to use as an immune system boost. I freeze pulverized ginger, as well. I am going to try powdering the lemons to free up my freezer. Thank you for your demonstration. I love it. The part when your face screwed up from the sour taste was priceless. It made my mouth water.
LOL! Thanks for sharing your comments.
You're a trooper I love the way you try different ways and then tasted each one woo thank you for sharing very good information❤
As you peeled the lemons i remembered what they said about my Grandmother's peeling talent: when she permed potatoes, the peel was brown on BOTH sides!
She raised 18 so she wasn't letting anything go to waste! Lol
Thank for sharing that!
Love the SOUR reaction! Your info is presented perfectly- Not too much data or facts overload, but a good amount useable real world info. Of course the taste is the real proof and you certainly never hide the reality of the moment. Thanks for helping us!
You are welcome! More to come!
I absolutely enjoy watching your videos! I learn so much and I just can’t thank you enough for that.
Lisa: Pam has told me the she really likes teaching and works very to perfect each video. Thanks! Jim
You are so welcome!
Exciting!!!I love this! Hello from Sydney, Australia. 😊
My mouth is puckerin'! You are such a gracious, intelligent lady with lots of great ideas!
I think my mouth puckered as well! LOL!
Thanks for sharing! I had dehydrated some lemons and limes in the rounds but wasn’t to sure how to re integrate them into my cooking!!! Thank you now I know how!!!
You are so welcome.
I absolutely adore this channel. You're so lovely and knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing all this content!
You are welcome.
What a great video. Thank you for all your hard work.
You are welcome.
Your facial expression when you tasted the lemons 🍋 had me laughing so much. I love lemons, so these instructions are wonderful.
Thank you so much 🤗
I really love this it was awesome. I don’t have a dehydrator yet I’m gonna have to use the oven but I’m sure it will work. And it’s probably going to make the best lemonade ever I can’t wait to make fresh lemonade with the powder instead of the packaged processed stuff just so full of chemicals.
Another great video, Rose. I laughed so hard when you tried the dried lemon.
I laughed at myself when I was editing the video!
You made me laugh so hard. I have rewatched this video many times. It’s a shame we can’t like more than once! Your so natural and I am glad you do not edit out those that you may not like if you make a face or do something different! Love it ! ❤
The taste tests were pure gold. Thank you for putting yourself through that for our entertainment. On a serious note though, thanks for sharing and educating me at the same time.
I love lemon-pepper seasoning on broiled chicken! Thanks, Pam, I'm going to try the dehydrator method with just the sliced fruit. I have an electric slicer, so I'm going to give that a go also.
Hope you enjoy!
Pam I laughed so hard after that first taste test.🤣 seriously never saw it coming. That face and you trying to find words to go with it was priceless...
LOL! Thanks.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!
Thank you.
I love your "experiments"! The rind on concerned me, I'll definitely remove and create a separate lemon zest product - glad you tested!
