TOMATO Powder is Wonderful | Don't TOSS Those Scraps 🍅

- Tomato Powder is super easy to make, and has a lot of uses. In today's video we'll go over how we make it, and talk about a few of the ways we use it to enhance our meals. We stared by placing all the leftover skins, seeds, and scraps, from our recent harvest, into our Dehydrator. We set the temp to around 115-120°F and let it run overnight (about 12 hours). If you don't have a dehydrator, you can also dry in your oven - set on lowest setting.
Collect up all your dried tomato bits, and place them into a highspeed blender or food processor. Pulse and blend to your desired consistency - jar it up and enjoy! ♥ The end product can be used to "thicken" various tomato recipes without altering the taste, and we also use it in rice dishes like jambalaya, and quite a few different pasta dishes to add both color and flavor.

When powdering stuff, put a sheet of plastic wrap under the lid to keep all the good stuff in the blender so none of it gets lost in the cap.
I bet this would be good in a sour cream dip or cream cheese spread with dried onion and basil.
Oh I love this idea!
Nice as a rethickener if put too much liquid in roux for brown sauce, plus it adds flavor. Mixed with some salt and sprinkled on popcorn, taste like ketchup chips. Add to ground meat for meatloaf to help bind instead of only breadcrumbs (any veggie powder really, not just tomato). Mix in water when cooking rice. Add to flour when making bread, with herbs, garlic powder, etc. Make compound butter.
These are some great ideas!! Thank you for sharing!!
wow,great ideas thanks
I am thinking putting tomato powder or perhaps even a spinach powder into something like pasta dough might be something to try. It would not effect the liquid amounts in the recipe but it could still impart the flavor I might be looking for. Thank you for this useful information.
Or add tomato powder and basil powder to a bread mix to make an italian sandwich bread. Yum!
Ive used dehydrated spinach and basil powdered in home made pasta. It works fantastic. Better than the fresh pureed spinach id bet the tomato would be really nice. (Or even carrot or squash powder)
I dont seem to bake or make pasta in summer as much as we do in winter.
I dont have AC other than a portable and baking heats the house up lol.
I do love making pasta tho but I think again its time consuming and the summers are filled with so much stuff to get done. Lol
I do that every Christmas and give homemade noodles as gifts. I use butternut powder for a deeper yellow, tomato powder for red, and spinach powder for green. People do enjoy homemade pasta as a gift.
I add to Spanish rice, taco meat, meatloaf. Hamburgers, roasted chicken, homemade salad dressing,.
Started making that powder this year for tomato paste. So tired of recipes that call for 1 or 2 tblsp of paste and then throwing the rest away or losing 20 little bags of tomato paste in the bottom of the freezer, lol.
Hi Michelle, I hear you and have thrown out many unused partial cans. Later I would put a tablespoon or two on wax paper, and yes get lost in freezer, then I found a pk of 8 small containers at the dollar store, hold about 2 tbs each, easy to fill and find-in freezer. Maybe this will help.
I just really adore the tomato powder idea and started dehydrating mine, too, but to use the scraps, the leftovers, is ingenious! Have you tried dehydrating peppers, bell peppers, to turn into powder?? The other day, I ground all the spinach I had dehydrated over the year, got 1 quart of powder. I thought it would be useful for soups, pasta, and Spinach Dip!
You can powder up any vegetables or fruits that you dehydrate. 🍀
...Omg...dehydrated spinach for spinach dip...I think I just went to heaven...!!😍💞 I found out last fall that I'm allergic to lettuce. ...The entire daisy family.😭 No sunflowers or seeds, no Zinnias...the list seems endless.😔 Somehow, it took me all this time to realize that. So, spinach, which I love more than lettuce, will now be a substitute for it whenever it can be. My first dehydrator just arrived on Tuesday, and I can't wait to plant my fall spinach crop, as were in zone 5a. Thank you so much for the idea! Blessings to you!😙💖
@@morningwoodfarms713 im growing a leaf cabbage this year thats quite mild and might make a decent lettuce replacement. Let me run find the packet as its an Asian name and I don't want to misspell it.
Okay found it Chirimen Hakusai I got it through baker creek seeds. Ive pulled a few outer leaves as its growing and its a nice tender leaf.
I am growing in the soil and hydroponically and the hydroponics ones are a bit more tender but its gone dry here in michigan so it makes sense.
@@Emeraldwitch30 OMG...THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! THAT WAS SO VERY KIND OF YOU!! YOU MADE MY DAY!! I'M GOING TO ORDER THOSE SEEDS! THANK YOU FOR HAVING SUCH A GRACIOUS HEART! BLESS YOU!! 😗👑🏆🙏💞
My wife loves to use her greens powders in her smoothies. She makes mixed greens and just single greens powders.
I never have any left over tomato pieces as I grind my cored whole tomatoes. Seeds, peels to, in my vitamix and get instant tomato sauce. Then heat it up and can it. Easy peasy!
I do my sauce that way too. I am a super taster, but when I. put in my spices can't detecting bitter taste from the seeds and skins being pulverized in the sauce. I like the idea of the extra fiber too!!
I always thought the seeds had a bitter taste... is this not true? I'd hate to ruin a batch of sauce by adding the bitter taste of the seeds in the powder.... Hmmmmm..
I have found that it comes off of the silicone dehydrator sheets better than on the screens. 😁😁 I love BLT’s, but don’t always have fresh tomatoes, so sometimes I mix the tomato power with the mayo. Not as good as the original, but a close second.
I use tomato and veggie powder in soups, stews, rice, and as a herb when cooking meat or other veggies.
Powder tomato, basil and chipotle powder go great in Mayo to put on sandwiches, in cold past salads, as a base for a creamy salad dressing and more. The excluding the Mayo, you use it as a seasoning for eggs, pasta, pizza, added to melted butter and garlic to brush onto toasted bread, and so much more.
I keep powdered mixed greens from the garden to toss into eggs, soups, casseroles, and many other things to add a nutritional boost. Especially those one pot meals where you need more veggies. (Even chili.)
great idea thank you
Reminds me of the first time I made chili powder. Made the mistake of getting a whiff of the powder when I took the top off the blender. Dry heaved for 5 minutes.
Oh my! I have done that too. Or the time I loaded a bunch of habenero peppers and jalapeños into the dehydrator! Cleared the whole house.🤦♀️ Everyone was standing outside giving me the stink eye! I learned that onions/hotpeppers go out on the deck until mostly dried lol. Oh and never take a good whiff of fresh horseradish when grinding. I also emptied the kitchen lol. We relocated out on the deck to finish!🤣
If you put the sheets in a bag and roll the sheet it leaves most of it in the bag so it less of a mess. Easy to pour into the blender
In the southern states we call a recipe a suggestion. Start there and make it your own. I watch all of the videos you guys do! Thank you guys so much for all the information! First year small raised bed garden and so much learning, especially from your videos! I’m adding more beds next year. ❤️
I have to try this! Actually the last batch of spaghetti sauce I made instead of adding store brought tomato paste I took out a jar of dehydrated roma tomatoes and used that to thicken the sauce. I plan on doing that again here this week to speed along my next batch of sauce canning. I think there are so many things to do with dehydrated tomatoes like this.
I bet Rachel is off on her girls weekend! Man she sure deserves it for all the content you guys put out this week and doing all without power! Wow!!! Hats off to you both! I hope you can have a relaxing weekend too....probably going fishing ;)
I do the same with my tomato powder too! Going to try catsup this year too 😊
One of my favorite things to make. It is a shelf ready instant flavor boost for soups and so much more.
Great idea and product. And good to have two different types of cookers in the same channel: “recipe follower” and “inspiration of the moment follower”. It allows to mix both more easily.
I forget where I heard it, but dried and powdered fruits and veggies are great for making instant baby food. Just add water to reach the right consistency. I thought this was brilliant. Not sure the baby would be thrilled with tomatoes, but spinach, kale, apples, etc would be great.
Awesome idea, probably be tasty on popcorn with a bit of parmesan cheese added too!
I put the powder in soups, stews, salad dressings, pickle relish, Mayo based dressings, in guacamole, sprinkled on scrambled eggs. I put some in a salt shaker and sprinkle it on lots of different dishes for color and to add some zip!
What a smart idea, love it.
Been doing this a couple years now. Its do nice to have around. If you want a quick pizza sauce ...just add water 😏
Exactly, I even took some left over pizza sauce that was gonna go bad before it was use and added water to it and dehydrated it to pizza sauce powder. Now when we make pizza we just take out a couple of tablespoons and add water for instant sauce and no waste.
One of the other channels I watch recommended covering the mouth of the blender with saran wrap, then put on the lid, before blending. That way the dust does not get up into the lid where it is hard to get to.
Just ground up my first batch of tomato powder this morning. I’m looking forward to using it in all kinds of dishes to intensify the tomato flavor. I made it from tomato skins that I removed before canning tomatoes. I like that there’s almost no waste of the vegetable or its nutritional value.
i make tortillas and i put some tomato powder and some dried basil in my tortilla dough. Just to boost the flavor and nutrition. So handy.
I do this too! And oh my it's delicious!!! Taste like fresh tomatoes 🍅 it's amazing
Great as a spice on baked or roasted chicken. Great in compound butter. Also great on grilled cheese.
Hi Thank you all your great videos. I have been making tomato powder for a couple of years. I do not like the seeds in powder or my sauce, so I de-seed when I bring them in. I first started with the skins and then ventured to using the full tomato. My tomato's come in late and can be slow, then the rush. I cut in half, de-seed and then pop in the freezer. skins come off really easy, when defrosted, until I have enough to roast. I also make powder using the raw tomato. . I try to grow the larger slicers etc but have not had much luck over the years. Cherry comes in late, slow and then the abundance. There is only the two of us so I make the sauce we will use and then powder the rest. Powder makes great gifts for those without a garden.
Ty for this video. Husband and I already had the tomato powder. Just didn't know what we could use it for Instead of making a paste with it.
I add it to dishes I am making along with celery and mushroom powder it adds such intense flavor when you put in tomato powder. I add it to taco meat, chili, tomato pasta dishes, soups, and stews.....
Hi Todd. You are right, one can dehydrate leftover scrapes of all items. You did well Todd. God Bless, and thank you for sharing the video. Love you and Rachel. Take care. Maria.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
Thanks Todd, I'm getting a food mill and going to start saving the skins and will make this next season. God Bless!
When I make my sauce, I just take out the stem core and pulverize the rest, works great.
Awesome work Todd!!🏆 I can't wait to try this! Blessings to you guys for a glorious weekend! 🌟😙💞
Very smart! I actually put my sliced, dehydrated tomatoes in my Vitamix (just the regular container) and make powder. It is a magical ingredient to have on hand.
Been trying to learn good uses for various veggie powders. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
@@1870s The lady at RoseRed homestead has been making EVERYTHING into a storable powder this Summer, check out her videos for safely storing and also using them.
Wonderful video im going to try that today I think i might make different flavors too then i can keep them in smaller jars and use the different flavors for whatever im cooking that day
Nice job Todd. I've heard of folks using this tomato scrap but have never seen it after being ground.........you've convinced me.........thanks
I just started making tomato powder this year. I plan to use in pasta, goulash, make pizza sauce, put in beer, bloody mary's, just to name a few.
Love the look of those plastic dehydrator liners have to look into getting some of them
I made tomato powder foe the first time last year specifically to save money on tomato paste :) I'm more of a recipies are guidelines kind of cook so I see Rachel make things and then I play with them 😀
Just ran out of last year's batch. Now to jar sauce, start all over again.
This is such a great lesson in "using everthing"! Having tomato powder on hand in the pantry, if you don't have it, you need some👩🍳
Love it, hope you both are doing well🤗
Love seeing this! Always wanted to have a way to use the pulp!
I use it in homemade pasta. Gives it a nice color and a slight tomato taste. I made green powders as well and add a little to pasta dough. Great ways to mix it up a little and also get some extra nutrition in.
Wow what an awesome idea I must try this!!
That is a great idea. So can you use it as a replacement for tomato paste when canning pasta sauce? God bless
Absolutely love that you use everything you can!!
I add the powder to my garden juice drinks; sprinkle on cukes for a snack, add to creamy cheese for crackers, etc. Endless possibilities. Great video thanks. Oh I do the same with spinach and pumpkin powders
I love my tomato powder i recently canned whole tomatoes and sauce and juice and i had 75 pounds of roma tomatoes i got 1 quart of tomato powder from those. i sprinkle it over everything yum .
In your opinion do you use the dehydrator enough to make it worth the expence? Im just curious, Iv been looking at them since last year.
Thank you for this video. This will be the first time for me to do this. I am making salsa tomorrow. Instead of throwing out the peels as I usually do.. this time I will dehydrate it and like you suggested add it to pastas. This reminds me of "side kicks". A pasta alternative. I am excited to see if I can make my own side kicks during winter. Yummy. Thanks again
great recipe,thanks.I have been wanting to make it,for soups and so much more,the first time i learned of it I saw it used in rice to flavor ,so its great as a substitute as you said in place of paste. I can't wait to make some. how longdoesit keep in the jar in the cupboard?
With the Vitamix do you think you really need to remove the skins? I had Vitamix for the first time this year. I’m not skinning tomatoes for anything so far. It pulverizes them out, at least as far as texture.
Thanks for sharing could you rehydrate into like a base for tomato soup or even sauce.?
I saw another channel use cling film over the lid to stop the powder getting trapped in the lid
I’m so glad to find these videos as i was wondering if i could do something with even the skins of the tomatoes. Now i know! Thanks for sharing!! ❤️
I’m betting that tomato powder would be pretty amazing on popcorn with melted butter and salt. I am going to make your tomato powder and give it a try. Yummy! On pasta 🍝
Cool. I have made sun (dehydrator) dried cherry tomatoes. Some sauce. Gonna try a ferment I think.
The "pasta" recipe sounds excellent! When will we be getting that Philly steak recipe? 😉😉💓
I make my own tomato powder in my freeze dryer. Never thought to use my Excalibur as it takes less time. Might try the dehydrator next time. Thanks for sharing! Great info as usual from you all. P.S. I love my Vitamix and can’t figure out how I would ever live without it. 😁
Wow! That's amazing! I've never heard of using tomato powder! Wonder if it would be good to add to a soup or a vegetable smoothie kind of thing? Can you mix it with water or another liquid to make tomato juice? I'm gobsmacked! I love tomatoes! Great video!
You can also dehydrate tomato slices with basil and Parmesan on them. So yummy! Like chips.
Thankyou for the Vlog.
Ok, I made some tomato powder a few years ago and it was awesome. Then I started reading it was only good for about 6 month. I have questioned that but several canning people on youtube have said the same thing. I didn't have the heart to throw it out, but I just assumed since it was fully dehydrated and powdered that it would last for many years just like the other vegetables that I have dehydrated. What are you thoughts??
If stored properly it will last for many years. You can also vacuum seal it into the jars and it'll be perfectly fine. The government doesn't want you to be self-sufficient so they post a lot of scare tactics. 🍀
I've had some for at least 3 years. It still tastes good. It does tend to clump over time. Keep it sealed in glass with a dessicant. That helps.
In my experience, fully dehydrated food doesn't really "go bad" so much as the flavor and nutritional value eventually degrades. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt you to eat it or anything, but eventually it will have less "punch" and maybe start to taste stale. Interested to hear other thoughts on this, but that's what I've observed with my own dehydrated food. 😊
I've been dehydrating since 80's. Bought one of first dehydrators that came out, broke the bank on it. Gave it to my cousin 2 yrs ago, sucker is still going. I have 2 yr old tomato powder, still tastes n smells good, still using it. As long as something is kept dry, you should be fine. Taste n smell... I keep on going veggie powder jar too. Few left overs from garden veggies too little to can or eat... I'm tired of seeing expirations, use your own judgement!!
Why couldn’t you freeze it to keep longer.i freeze bouillon powder all the time keeps forever.
Really liked this video. Today is my first time doing this. Just added the skins and seeds into the dehydrator! Laura 😊
Awesome Todd thanks keep them coming
Thanks Todd😊
My pleasure! ♥
Very clever! Love the idea of nothing wasted. You both are very good cooks. ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️
That’s an awesome idea. I would have never thought of that. I just give the skins to the chickens. Not this year. I will be trying this also. I am so glad I found your channel. So many new ideas to try.
That sounds wonderful! I hate wasting all that extra tomatoey goodness... THANKS!
I saw another TH-camr, RoseRed Homestead, add water to actually make tomato paste. I thought that was a great idea.
That's a great idea!
@@1870sAnd you the tomato paste to make a soup.
I add it to meat loaf! Or anything made with beef or pork that I also add onions and peppers to, like meat balls or porcupine meat balls. On top of bread sticks before I bake them. I've even put in home made salad dressings.
I made tomato powder yesterday as well. We got the same amount almost a pint. I can't wait to use it. :)
Use everything but the squeal. I like it!
you can also use it to make tomato soup! i add mine to my meatloaf and all types of stuff. even on sandwiches. inside tuna salad. its great stuff.
Thank you for this. I love the replacement for tomato paste. Will try drying the skins for my next batch!
Thanks for sharing it. I have never seen this before and loved to know this trick
Sounds like it would be good sprinkled on some scrambled eggs 😋
I just made a batch of tomato powder and the flavor is great. My only issue is I've run it through the dehydrator for several hours and then ground it up in my blender. Afterwards, the powder was still sticky and, after having sat in the jar for a few hours, clumped together. I ran it through the dehydrator again (for 12 hours) in its powder form (placed in several coffee filters) but the texture is the same. Also, I placed a desiccant package in the jar with the powder. Is this the way it's supposed to be?
I know I have mentioned this before and it is kinda rare. Only about 20 to 30% of the population are super taster people but I am one. While some bitter things I do like there is a huge list of things that taste off/funny/super bitter/soapy etc...
Well I found out that this tomato powder made from skins and seeds is one.
I dutifully saved and dehydrated my skins and seeds and powdered them and about gagged at the strong bitter taste.
I thought well shoot I must have done something wrong.
But same with the next batch I made. The doctor when I mentioned it said well you are a super taster and don't do arugula or cilantro or fresh basil(dried is fine🤷♀️ so not sure whats up there)water cress and a whole list of off the wall stuff sets my taste buds off.
So if any of you do this but don't find the taste pleasant or find it bitter, its probably not the powder -it might be your taste buds.
I also can taste if I roast the tomatoes with the skins or cook with the skins on. Its like a lingering bitter after taste even thos the sauce is fine while eating. No one else in my family can taste it but I can.
So I dip/peel and deseed my tomatoes before turning into sauce or canned stewed tomatoes.
A few seeds here and there are not a huge deal and eating tomatoes in the garden also no big deal as its not concentrated.
I've also dehydrated my tomato sauce after its made and powdered and its fine. So definitely the skin/seeds for me.
But in case anyone here does it and finds it tasting a bit too bitter you might be a super taster lol.
Here ends my PSA for the day 🤣🤣🥰
Happy gardening and putting food by everyone.
Also when I'm doing canning of plain tomato sauce or stewed tomatoes with onion pepper celery and pizza or spaghetti sauce i almost always have a half jar or or so that is not enough to can/jar or use up really quick I put it on my fruit leather trays and dry down crispy and powder.
Then make a big thing of good buttered popcorn and sprinkle it in! Add some cheese and you get spaghetti popcorn or pizza popcorn or like you just mention you could dehydrat your jambalaya sauce and make wonderful Cajun popcorn.
Oh I forgot. Ive dehydrated salsa too. It makes a killer popcorn sprinkle. Lol.
Apparently I like to eat lol. I love to cook and I hate spending way too much money on convenience foods lol.
I might have to look into dehydrated cheese to make my own cheese powder 🙃 😋
I'm with you on the "super taster"! Drives my husband crazy 😊
Thank you! This explains it! I have the same issue. I have found the tomato powder made from skins only (no seeds) to be much more palatable for me. That means that I must blanch and peel some of them.
Great idea for sure! Thanks for sharing this. Have a super blessed day, lisa@moneypit homestead
I will give this a try when Im canning tomatoes this weekend or next. I can see adding this when making chili kidney beans.
Love this! I used to always make myself egg noodles with butter and diced Tomatoes but I hated how liquidy it was so this is such a great option! Also I beat if you use this with some nutritional yeast, dried green pepper powder + garlic powder you could throw it on tortilla chips for diy Doritos
I love watching you all. I can't wait to try this. I was wondering it you can freeze the tomato skins (we don't have a garden) until you have enough to dehydrate and make the powder?
A mazing idea & demo! Thx! 😉
Great idea! I'm going to try this!
Thank you for the tip. I can’t wait to try this.
I use to make taco seasoning.
Great way to thicken up a soup or a bisque too.
Dude! Blend some of it up with dried garlic, italian spices and onion, then add to Sour cream and a little mayo then serve with some yummy Lays potato chips! HELLA good!!!
I do this with my excess chilies :) but will definitely try- if I ever have excess tomatoes (back yard garden remember)- Great video Todd. Cheers Denise- Australia
This video is older but maybe you'll see my question...
I made roasted tomato sauce and i tossed everything in olive oil first. I removed the skins for the sauce but they were so tasty I wanted to see if i could dehydrate them for a powder. Is it safe to dehydrate the skins after they've been roasted with olive oil 🤔
Terrific! Thank you for sharing these tips
I cook like that with whatever. Now with baked goods, cakes and cookies I will follow a recipe. TFS
I use it with scrambled eggs... yummy
We have a mill just like that one, a dehydrator and a blender.. Will have to try that..
I also have a processor and “steam my tomatoes “ before the processor. I’m wondering if the seeds are still good to use for next years crop of tomatoes and would I be able to use my dehydrator to help drying the seeds. Any success doing this?
Rachel
Todd,
Have the both of you tried to preserve dried or sun dried tomatoes? Can you do a video on it
Linda from Ct
Great idea, thanks.
This is ideal for meat dishes, soups and pasta sauce. But for moust I like it for ground pork cutlets or gulash soup.
I"ve watched videos where some folks dehydrate CANS of tomato paste, others use fresh tomatoes. I'd like to dehydrate these, which is better and can they be used interchangeably?
Great idea thanks for sharing ❤
crunch up the dehydrator sheets over a large baking sheet, to catch the crumbs!
