I have a question... Why do you freeze what you dehydrate? Is that necessary?
@@missmix48 I don't freeze it, I vacuum seal it and put it in food storage. I used to freeze the fresh zucchini chunks - that is what I meant here
@@RainCountryHomestead Thanks for clarifying
I just love your videos!!! Thank you so much .... I am up to my ceiling almost on zucchini hahahahahaha
One of my favorite ways is to mix my powdered zuch's with powdered onions, bell peppers, tomatoes and then grind some dried Basil and Parsley...add some spices and it's my own Italian seasoning that I can add as a topping for pizza or Foccaccia (?sp?) bread, or mix into some tomato sauce for pizza sauce. Just works around here...
Phil and Bev Anthony...Now that’s a great idea! I’m gonna have to try that
Thank you. You have great ideas.
Wonderful idea. I gotta try this.
I just made zucchini fritters and froze them. Shredded zucchini, onion, carrot. Drain or squeeze water out. Add flour, egg. Mix and fry. :)
Second comment from me, I keep forgetting to mention that I love when you - or anyone - put links down in the description. I always watch the videos from my iPhone and there’s no way that I have found to press on an icard and save it for later because when I press on it it brings me right to the video and out of your video that I was watching before I pressed on the icard. So I love when you put the video links down in the description :-)
This is good to know Kimberly, because I rarely use my iPhone for anything other than shooting photos and video (and of course the random text or phone call).
kimberly hilliker Hello Kimberly ! The same thing use to happen to me, and it was pure torture for me, maybe for Heidi as well, because her videos r sooo full of info, I could not help myself, and watch one right after the other (bombarding her with many, many questions) but through it all, she was kind and patient with me. But now, knowing my iPhone better, I don’t worry if I tap an icon that sounds as interesting as the one I’m watching, because now, I know where to go to finish watching it. I use to be very ignorant to the iPhone, I still don’t know a lot. Anyway, ur comment brought on a past memory, and I felt like sharing it. Have a wonderful day
Heidi,
I use my zucchini for zucchini boats, I add my zucchini in my spaghetti sauce I even put it in my chili. I Shredded Zucchini in casserole, I also shredded zucchini and brown it and put Parmesan and melt it. Oh yummy!!!!!! I put my zucchini in my stews, soups. I also put shredded zucchini on pizza as well. I think I am going to try to powder the zucchini pancakes..
I will slice the zucchini lengthwise with a mandolin and dehydrate them until they are leathery and use it right away in place of lasagna noodles. Dehydration keeps them from making the lasagna watery.
I love to dry shredded zucchini and use it in my salads - it adds delicious crunch!
I like that idea!
Wow, what a ton of ideas! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity! Dehydrate into cubes or slices, make them into powder after drying, use the raw/lightly sauted rounds for a sandwich, make a lasagne, noodles, fritters, chips, make a relish or salsa, and freeze. Use in soups, stews, casseroles, stir-frys, pasta sauces, bread, gravies, pancakes, muffins - basically anything! Generally we freeze ours if we don't eat them all up fresh first! We love them salted with nutritional yeast and mineral salt.
I grated mine then spread them on dehydrator sheets with sprinkled with fajita seasoning. They are lovely on jacket potatoes with cream cheese or on top of bolagnaise.
Mrs Rain, I just realized I stored all my summer squash and zucchini incorrectly. They went rancid. This is such a blessing. I know now how to preserve. We live in a humid climate in Pennsylvania. Shalom and Blessings. I finally got my vacuum sealer which will help. Blessings sis. Your hard work and time is so helpful to us newbies learning to preserve our food. I am so new to homesteading/gardening/canning. thank you.
What great ideas Heidi. Last year I grated and dehydrated zucchini for bread and quiche but never even thought of dehydrating chopped zucchini or cutting it in rounds and cutting that in half to dehydrate. You are such an inspiration to me. I’ve been dehydrating kale for a mixed green powder and did carrot tops the other day and now I will be doing some zucchini too. Thanks again for all the hard work you and Patrick put into these videos. God Bless,
what temperature do you dehydrate kale at?
@@mairbyo3515 I haven’t done it for a while but I believe it was 125
Great idea to grate!
Great ideas. Never powdered zucchini . I dehydrate as shredded and add to any liquid on the stove, soups, chili, sauces. I do dehydrate garlic (sliced) and onions ( chopped) and powder them. Garlic powder smells like garlic instead if whatever you get in powder form at the stores. I have diced zucchini from last year. I will try powdering that. Again, great ideas and very timely!
Wow! I’d never seen the brake bleeder contraption thing. That’s ingenious! I usually just plop in a O2 absorber packet in my dehydrated foods. I hear a “plink” after an hour as the vacuum seals. It keeps for years. Love ‘em! I’ll be looking into picking up a brake bleeder. I’m thinking Harbor Freight?
I have links in my description box below the video for the brake bleeder and the food saver tops
Outstanding video Heidi! So much knowledge for such a young woman. Thank you and Mr. Rain do so much that is very useful. I appreciate all of your videos.
Great timing for today's harvest! Last night I was thinking about dehydrating some. 👍😁🌱
Thank you! I have been being given a lot of zucchini from my mom who has a couple plants in her garden. Up to now I have been shredding and putting it in measured bags in the freezer for use in muffins/breads.
My food dehydrator is now going with zucchini and a couple sweet potatoes that I needed to do something with pretty soon. Have only had this dehydrator for about a month so I am still trying to figure out what to dehydrate and how to use the dehydrated foods.
Oh my, oh my. I just fed six zuchinis to my chickens(and OMG are they in love with any melon I give them to eat). I'm going to dry some up and give some of your ideas a try...thanks so much!
I absolutely love zucchini! When I started dehydrating my zucchini I made it into chunks, slices and chips… Absolutely love them and now that I see that you can make it into a powder I might even do that too… Thanks for all that you do!
Great video.. try using the zuchs in place of an avocado for guacamole. Use chilies onion and cilantro tomatillo salt oil. Lots of Taquerias do that so that the dip doesn't turn color. Tastes great. Recipes are all over you tube. Take care!
My zucchini didn't do well this year, but I did dehydrate all that I grew plus a couple zucchini breads for freezer. Thank you for all the multiple ideas, you are always so informative with excellent recipes. Blessings sweet friend
And I forgot to share that I made baked zucchini sticks. Easy peasy. But into sticks, coat with whipped eggs, then bread crumbs...put them on a greased sheet and then season with your choice of spice. I just did sea salt, fresh ground pepper, and a teeny bit of cayenne. Back for 20 to 25 minutes at 425. Ranch salad dressing was a good dip for them. I even reheated some for lunch the next day and they were still yummy.
Sounds divine!
i'm not able 2 do any of this anymore but i still like 2 watch it, n i'm thinking my mate is more likely willing 2 dry, 4 food storage, so thnx much 4 y'alls life-style- way back when, i had a huge overabundance of zuc n my sis n i shredded a ton of it n dried it all, n we used it in pretty much everything- its especially good in zuc bread n no need 2 rehydrate- Father Bless y'all
Great video. I will definently be dehydrating more.
this video reminded me i had dehydrated cucumber chips in the back of the closet so i'm having a snack now
:)
Thank you, Heidi. I didn’t get to finish this when it first posted. I’m getting ready to start dehydrating some zucchini so I made sure to finish watching it. Good info as always. 😃
,what an awesome video. My zucchini is just now coming in and I'm glad to find ways to preserve it. I love live the dehydrator method. The powder too. Great video. Thank you.
Yes mam love to dehydrate it! The only way I preserve it. Great video! Thanks for sharing! Love and blessings!!❤️
Hello Heidi! WOW, a plethora of ways on how to store and use zucchini! The info + tips and tricks (I added to ur title, cause u gave some) 😁 u gave, just overflows the space of Patrick’s big truck!!! To bad people back n the day didn’t have this knowledge, I heard stories that were considered a horror, people would roll up car windows, lock the doors, or else they’d find it loaded the next day with zucchini, honestly, I’d call that a non gardeners gift of goodies! With what u show on how to persevere and store food, the little I eat, honestly, one good garden or two will last me a lifetime, when I’m older and, ha, well, I’m gray now, with the knowledge u’ve given me (and more to learn) I’ll be sitting there n my old age with a grand of a smile, looking at ALL those jars...filled with food! Seriously Heidi...I truly THANK YOU. That cannot be said enough with how things have been, with how worse it’s going to become, I feel better, and more confident n the area of food, can u guess what will make me feel a ton more better and confident, I’ve pestered y’all a lot on it here and there, and now (I need Cathy Zimmerman’s help here, she’s better than me at pestering, she got y’all to make the silver motor)😉👍🏼. Thank u
Haha! Thank you Joy for all your kind words and it is encouraging to me to know what we do here actually IS helpful to others :D
Watching your videos, I’m amazed about how much you know and make. I won’t be at your level but I’m going to watch you and incorporate your ways in my house.
It is all al learning process that never ends and we all have to start somewhere :)
Thank you so much, I'm going to try dehydrating them. Great video.
I made pickles from them for the first time and they are yummy
My kids family favorite zucchini preserve recipe is mock pineapple zucchini. You can shred it and use it as a ice cream topping or in pineapple cake. Or just simply do cubed and eat it strait out of the jars like my kids.
Sounds really good!
Oh, forgot to say thanks and blessings to you.
Wow! That was a lot of great info!
Gosh, you're so knowledgeable! I'm debating which dehydrator to get now.
If you can afford it, it would be good to get one with stainless steel racks. I believe the Excalibur has one like that
Wow Heidi, great video chuck full of great ideas!💡
Love to cube it. Add canned spaghetti sauce. Add a little shedded cheese. Little parmesean. Can this mix and its a great side dish for the whole year.( 20 minutes in the instant pot on the canning option makes 4 pints.) Easy!😊🇺🇸
I like to cut 1/2" zucchini slices on the diagonal, brush olive oil on both sides and grill with our protein. Of course there are always left over slices which I refrigerate and use the next day in place of bread to make sandwiches with. Yes it's messy but so delicious.
Looking forward for the ketchup recipe
I have watched all your zucchini videos, now I am ready to dehydrate. Love your videos.❤️
Great video and ideas. The powder can be added to smoothies (did you say that though?) And although I do throw this together with non-homemade ingredients, it’s still really good: I canned quarts of zucchini last year, I open a jar and drain it and pour it into a casserole dish. I usually add a pint of my canned yellow squash also drained, or you can use a pint of a different vegetable. I add one can cream of mushroom soup and mix in some of those crunchy onions you buy in the plastic container. Bake at 350 deg until it’s warmed and bubbly, then I sprinkle some more of the crunchy onions on top of the casserole and bake 15 minutes more. It’s pretty similar to the green bean casserole some folks make for holiday meals.
I have never actually canned zucchini other than with the relish and salsa. I was afraid it would turn out too mushy. I just may give that a try this year!
Rain Country it does turn out mushy. Pickling works better.
Rain Country It is too mushy just to eat as a side on its own, but it works great in this baked casserole.
Awesome video and perfect timing. I have a crazy amount of zucchini and I can't freeze any more. You could write an ebook! So much good information! I will have to keep rewatching and make some notes😁
I am thinking an eBook, in parts, may be the best way to go with my time. I just do not see me trying to put a whole book together any time soon!
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you for teaching and sharing your knowledge!
Wow so informative! Thank you!
God is good all the time
Interesting about zuchinni flour. I would be interested to try that. I am always looking to stay lower carb and higher nutrition because my husband is diabetic.
Ive been neck deep in processing zucchini as well. I made up a bunch of fermented dill and garlic zucchini pickles. They turned out soooo yummy! Also made some spicy zucchini and peach chutney. My tomato crop sure didnt do well this year so I am grateful for the long season of zucchini this year! Thanks for sharing all your ideas and recipes!!
O this is an old video, before I came up with many more ideas that I cover in this one I did last year: th-cam.com/video/1aqaV1dQnEQ/w-d-xo.html
@@RainCountryHomestead Oh THANK YOU!! I didnt even take notice of the date on this video, I just got too excited about finding more zucchini recipes! Hahahaha!!
It's my favorite summer squash. Thanks
When it comes to soup, I prefer to do the same. So easy to make soup that way. Dehydrated aged vegetables and broth or bouillon.
I'm not gluten-free but, I've begun enjoying the taste of zucchini over pasta for any Italian dish that has red sauce.
Mom and I usually stir fry zucchini with yellow neck squash and eat it with rice. Annie's Simple Life uses it in place of pasta. She and her husband are gluten free.
Jean Woodall Hello! That sounds tasty! I was wondering though, on if u add oil, or some kind of liquid to it? I guess I should have asked first on if it’s steamed or fried rice. Have a wonderful day
@@joybickerstaff194 A little oil or water will do. You can also add things like lemon, lime, calamansi, etc. Usually we do steamed rice (my Mom is from the Philippines and I'm technically half but I'm not sure in what) but fried rice is good with it as well.
This is so great Heidi, thanks!! Subbed. Another Heidi in Nova Scotia
Love your videos
And face cream
More awesome info. My one planter is loaded and I'm the only one who likes zucchini! I will be doing a lot of powdering!
I don't really care much for it but I'll grow like 1or2 each summer for using during that season. I do same with yellow squash. It just always turns out a mushy mess if frozen or canned plus doesn't have a lot taste anyway. But I know Lots of people really like Zucchini 👍 so I'll bet dehydrating it is the best way.
Well, you answered my question about what to do with the zucchini powder - so some of this massive amount (for one) of zucchini into the dehydrator :-)
This was great. I have never been able to reach you about a skirt. Is there a secret I am missing.
Oh my, I am hungry now.
Have you tried going through my Etsy store? Some times comments on my facebook page get buried but going through my Etsy store is the best way. I always link to it at the end of every video and it is the first link you will see in the description box just below the video
@@RainCountryHomestead That is the first place I went and it said to email you to place a future order that you were out. Don't remember if I ever found your email address. Mine is gmcl66@twlakes.net
Martha Adams my skirts typically sell out fast but I currently have three up on my store but also do custom orders. All my contact info is always in the description box. My email is raincountryhomestead@gmail.com
A lot of great information!!!! As always, Thanks Heidi! Oh, I got my earrings, I absolutely LOVE them- hubby thought the guns were adorable!
O good! I am so glad! My revolver earrings are the only ones I wear anymore, they are my favorites. :D
Live in San Jose paid over $2.00/pound for zucchini yesterday. I remember when gardeners had trouble giving it away. Of course that was when I lived in farm country.
Andrea Voss Hello, when I see the cost of vegetables at the store, it blows my mind, looking back n time, they were affordable, and healthier for u, not so now, (well, depending on one paycheck) but thinking of what the prices will be n the future, very scary, that’s why I’m watching and learning all I can on what’s needed to live now, not to mention how to better my green thumb + irratacating (spell check) the garden pest naturally. Knowledge on water, food, shelter and fire, is the best security anyone can have. Have a wonderful day
Great video!!
I hate to drink just water, so I make a lot of aqua Fresca's. I blend the chunks of zucchini strain the pulp, and drink the juice, you can add so watermelon, cantaloupe, berries.....its really refreshing.
I like to shred it and freeze it for bread, muffins and soups in the winter.
th-cam.com/video/fnWASCg4muo/w-d-xo.html
I've peeled the really large zucchini and made it into ice cream. It's very good and no one knows there eating zucchini.
Now this sounds really interesting! I need to learn how to do this, I am guessing you blend it up and add flavorings? Do you add any milk to it?
@@RainCountryHomestead I blend it with some water, raw cashews, honey, some salt, vanilla if you want it, but most of the time I don't use it, and other fruits and seasonings of choice. Lemon, peach, raspberries, bananas are all good, but the sky is the limit on this. I have used the unpeeled zucchini, and that makes it a light green color so if you serve it to others who hasn't eaten it before you may get some questions. I used to have a recipe to make zucchini Pineapple, but it called for lots of sugar, so I threw it away after making it once. It tasted very good, but I would call it a pineapple extender because the recipe called for crushed pineapple and pineapple juice. You mixed it all up and canned it.
That is about what I figured, I was planning to make some nut milk (pecan cashew) today so I can make my vegan cheese so what I can do is simply add the nut milk to the zucchini. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome. That is what real life is all about, helping others in any way we can. Almond milk works well too.
Yvonne Thornton Hello Ms. Thornton, my mouth dropped when I saw your name, I read your comment and replies to Heidi, the way you used your words, and words of care, looks/feels very familiar to many replies that I read yesterday. Are you “The” Dr. Yvonne Thornton, one of the DitchDigger’s Daughters? If not, you have the name of a woman, whom to me, has a very big caring heart. Weather you are, or not, your recipe sounds delicious! Have a wonderful day
Use zuchinni discs as chips. Make a dip with cottage cheese and Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix. Zuchinni and cucumbers make awesome chips.
Yep, done that too with making chips. I do make my own ranch dressing as well but did not try the zucchini chips in that, just had them with my homemade seasoned salt
love zucchini
One way I like to use zucchini is adding it to a smoothie. As it is very bland it takes on the fllavour of whatever you put into the smoothie.
Last year I was adding some fresh to my homemade nut milk. powdering it up and adding to my yeast breads, including hamburger buns, and more:
th-cam.com/video/fnWASCg4muo/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/X0id5o9fzK0/w-d-xo.html
I have just ordered the lids and the brake bleeder that you recommended. Now, do you have a video explaining how to set it up/use it and how will I know how much pressure to use? Also, is it necessary to use the little desiccant packs along with this way of sealing? I would like to avoid using them if possible. I am new to dehydrating. Thank you for all of your wonderful information. Blessings to you and yours.
I never use oxygen absorbers or desiccants. I have many videos showing how to use the brake bleeder but I will just link you to the one where I go through some of the troubleshooting so it will cover everything you will need to know: th-cam.com/video/jKmREnrjRUE/w-d-xo.html
I used dehydrated zucchini in homemade dog food. They love it.
I've used zucchini in place of cucumber to make pickles.
Super video Heidi !!!
Thank you!
I bet adding goat cheese or some organic cheese and lightly frill them as sandwich would be delish
Thanks, Heidi. That was Zlicious!! :-D
Haha! Good one :D
My kids like z. Squash chips. I slice them thin and soak in lemon juice and salt or onion salt. Then dry. They eat them so fast it's hard to put any up. I also grate it up and dry them.
Hello from Kentucky I need to tell you that i am so very sorry i watched a video you made I think it was a year ago and in that video you talked about being submissive to your husband and i got very angry First i would like to say thats its none of my business what goes on in your marriage and than Id like to tell you a little about myself and why it hit me like that i was in an abusive marriage for 5 years where my husband beat me daily and coming from a broken home I did stay longer than i should have But i think I was wrong to anger so quickly and hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me on my journey to living a healthier life style I find that not only is my body getting more healthy my mind is clearing as well I do find that i make the people in my life dependent on me and than i get offended when because they are LOL I claim progress not perfection and for my own peace of mind I would like to say once again that i am very sorry and i find your video s very helpfull Thank you for that
Thank you for that and really, no worries, I probably understand far more than you realize. I have my own story about a past dating relationship, not physical abuse but emotional and mental: th-cam.com/video/xyPeAFlr5PA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for all the great zucchini recipes. I just found your video and and was interested in your complete meal fritters recipe, but it says it's no longer available. Did you make another updated one?
I have not done an updated one on that but have a more updated zucchini uses video where I give many more ideas: th-cam.com/video/1aqaV1dQnEQ/w-d-xo.html
My favorite way of having zucchini in the summertime is to cut it up, and roast it on the barbecue after mixing it with some vinaigrette and other seasonings.
I do have a question for you though. Can zucchini be air-dried? I do have a set of dehydrator racks that can be used with my instant pot Duo crisp, but I don't want the kitchen to be heated up.
Would shredding the zucchini before dehydrating work as well?
Yep, and many do that. I tried it but it was not for me. I prefer dicing but that is just personal choice
I also make "apple pie filling" with chunked zucchini. Canned in jars. My aunt taught me that zucchini will absorb any flavor that you combine it with. Hence, apple, pineapple, blackberry, cherry, etc. juice will create your faux filling.
Yep: th-cam.com/video/sHe4Pv1t33o/w-d-xo.html
Can mock apple pie filling using zucchini. I'm doing that today!
I have also since made pineapple zucchini and black cherry zucchini. I find I enjoy those in yogurt or cottage cheese: th-cam.com/video/sHe4Pv1t33o/w-d-xo.html
@@RainCountryHomestead yum! Thanks for the ideas 😀
Never heard of nutritional yeast. I'll have to research.
Here is the kind I get:
amzn.to/2ypLHN2
It is high in B vitamins and very healthy. I use it to make a vegan cheese as well and have a video on that here:
th-cam.com/video/LKPZJLhzz5Y/w-d-xo.html
Is this nutritional yeast the same as engevita yeast?
Lemon zucchini bread is good.
I read somewhere that you can use zucchini flower in perfect substitution for coconut flour. Have you tried this before with baking or anything like that that calls for coconut flour and if so, did it turn out nicely?
Yes, I have used it as a partial flour replacement long before anyone was even talking about it, in fact I have wondered with the sudden talk of it as a flour replacement came out because of the videos I did on this in the past such as the one where I used it as a partial flour replacement in making homemade hamburger buns from four years ago:th-cam.com/video/X0id5o9fzK0/w-d-xo.html
I have also used it in pancakes, cookies, and biscuits
So sorry if my "newbie" question has already been asked ... do you steam or blanch your zucchini before dehydrating it? I am just starting and would hate to lose all the work involved on such a small step! Thanks in advance ... God Bless
Nope! I never blanch anything before dehydrating. The only thing I have found actually needs blanching before dehydrating are potatoes. :)
@@RainCountryHomestead ... thank you so much for the quick reply! I've dehydrated my first batch without blanching and what a relief! On to dicing this next batch. Again, God Bless you and your husband for such an informative and helpful channel!!
Ty
how long did you dry the zuccini pieces in the video please? Mine are schrivled, can I still use them (I dried shunks overnight)
I do not keep exact time on how long each thing takes but it will take about a full day
Hi Heidi, where exactly is rain country. I live in NJ

Have you heard of water bath meat from the Amish I’m going to try it you can do it to zucchini too. Any food I’m not buying a canner at 400.00 plus I got a glass top stove.
You can make zucchini flour too seen that last night
Yes, you can water bath anything if you do it right. I even dug up some vintage canning charts that give times for water bath canning all kinds of foods. It is not just an Amish thing, it is simply what used to be done before pressure canners became the norm. Here is the link I created to view the vintage canning time tables: www.patreon.com/posts/vintage-water-55550513
Mine died, saw the squash borer too late, no problem, still have frozen 😅
Bummer! However, great that you have some put up, this is one of the many reasons why we do what we do, right? :)
@@RainCountryHomestead exactly! Besides, we tend to eat less and less, so the huge garden harvest would be overabundance. Then again, you store up in the good years!
We have no humidity in Florida..lol
It's not 100% there? 🤣
@@RainCountryHomestead almost.
I am very interested in the chicken cutting board
This video is pretty old and Patrick is not making those at this time. First, he needs the time to simply saw up the lumber for making his wood products but I am not sure if he is going to do the cutting boards at all anymore because of the time involved in them.

I know this is an old video.. but why don't you fill the canning jar up?
Which jar are you referring to?
@@RainCountryHomestead with dried zucchini

Great information but difficult to follow or keep up, with so much much information and so many digressions 😢
This is an old video too, my one from this year has far more ideas but one can always take notes. I am just human and being me too, I am not a robot that is here just to spout facts but do still like to be personable with people, it may not be to everyone's preference but I can only please a certain amount of those who choose to watch because NO one can please all the people all the time. Good thing there is more than one way to skin a cat and that I have a loyal following of those who appreciate and like my style. If my style is not suitable to some, they can always find another who offers information that will be more to their liking
Ruth Ann Zimmerman, ( th-cam.com/video/tkrfKUU-Ibc/w-d-xo.html) she makes Zucchini pineapple! I tried it and it is great!
Yes, I have made that and also black cherry and passion fruit as well: th-cam.com/video/sHe4Pv1t33o/w-d-xo.html
