I’ve got to tell you that you are an excellent teacher. You cover all the info simply, modeling what needs to be done, what can happen & ways to fix any problem, & then summarizing what you’ve taught. So thank you for having a channel like this which offers more than the usual.
I live in the Philippines where bluberries don't grow BUT your channel is a treasure trove. I want to try your generous tips with the berries that grow in my region. Thanks a lot!
Making powder is my favorite thing to do, & I learned from you in your group. I sprinkle my organic spinach powder on many dishes & use it in smoothies. My fruit powders are great in frostings, homemade whipped cream & smoothies. Thanks Darcy!
When you say frostings, are you talking about what I would call icing? It's mostly spread on top of sweetbreads or cake, if you are that does sound pretty good. Thank you,bsafe.
Darcy…I removed the berries, put them individually in blender and chopped…cam out puréed but it’s fine. I used my frosting knife and spread the berries like I was frosting a cake and with a skewer I picked out the blueberries that didn’t mush up and ate them…LOL! Their dehydrating as I comment. That frosting knife was a game changer for me as the spatula wasn’t working for me. Once their all dried, I’ll grind up and have my powders. Thank you Darcy!!
I am so blown away! I have a freezer full of blueberries that I picked/purchased at our local blueberry farm. However, they are taking up so much room in my freezer! So thrilled to find another way to preserve them.
Since starting to watch your channel, I have begun dehydrating food and today ordered more mats for my dehydrator to do powders and finer things. And I am looking for my third dehydrator ☺️ Thank you for such clear instructions 😊
I have put my powders back into my dehydrator to condition the powder. I put it on a sheet, lay paper towel over that with a wooden spoon to keep it from blowing around. It worked like a charm for me. I have done sweet potatoes like this.
I just found you and I must say, you are a wealth of knowledge! Thank you for sharing and teaching regular ways I can prepare and store food for my family, especially on a budget.
I'm so glad I found your channel, I'm learning so much. I'm just now trying to get into dehydrating, and although I can't afford one of the premium dehydrators, I feel pretty confident that I'll be able to learn to "work with what I can get. Thanks so much for all of the information you are sharing!!
Thanks for even more good advice! I found one at 600 watts, with both digital temp control and a timer. I figure this should be plenty good enough to get started with. My amazing hubs bought me a she shed for our anniversary that, while it's not huge, has a full kitchen in it. All we lack right now is getting the water hooked up, & I can get it cleaned, then up and running. I have so many amazing project ideas, and you've given me many more (I'm so excited). I sure appreciate you're sharing your knowledge and experience with us!
@@Imokanurnot It is interesting reading your response. I live in the tropics. I grew up knowing that my grandmother sold dried coconut for a living. There was a very large shed in the backyard. The shed had a retractable roof. Manually operated. You had to close the roof if it looked like rain was coming. So I also learned to look to the sky and sense when it’s about to rain. Amazing. The more things change the more they remain the same. Enjoy your fruit and veggies drying project.
Kudos to all you drying enthusiasts. This is so labor intensive. I have a bumper crop of strawberry guava. The seeds are the size of grape seeds and hold more nutrition than the actual fruit. So I'm going to give this a try. My Ninja has a dehydrating function. So this is a test!
It is in the beginning, but the longer you do it, the more proficient you get, and it's not as labor intensive as you imagine. So much of the time is down time waiting for things to day. You can walk away from it unlike canning.
I bought my long dreamed of Red VitaMix a few years ago, it really pulverize’s the tiny seeds in strawberries and blackberries etc. when making powders.
You use your hands for things that I would immediately reach to a tool for, huge respect. Maybe I just have moist hands as I’m really scared of touching the powder lol.
My dog loves pumpkin or sweet potato chews. The first time I dehydrated pumpkin puree I dehydrated it too long & it was like leather. I dropped one on the floor & my dog loved it.
Love you and your methods. Whenever I do anything it looks like a crime scene when I'm done. And it takes a day to make the mess and a week to clean it up.
That was a very fully informative video. This was my first time visiting your site and am looking forward to seeing many more. Thank you for your time. It was much appreciated!
I'm a master at drying out the leafy Greens into powder but can't seem to master the Juicy Fruit. Just when I think it's dried and ready to blend, I discover it's moist and gluggy. Well done to all of the masters out there
Blueberries, when froze, water expands outward so freezing then dehydrating should make it much easier. I love Spinach and Kale, that’s something I haven’t started yet. How do you do yours ….. ?
I'm thinking that perhaps a tiny bit of cornstarch or arrowroot powder added to the dried berries in the blender would help it not clump up (due to sugars). It's the same thing that's added to sugar when powdering it!
@esemmanuel6603 Thank you for the dehydrating hint, and I'm sorry I haven't seen your comment until now.. I hope you had some luck with your spinach and kale.. If you notice the plant leaves getting nibbled on, flipped the leaves over and look for little caterpillars, get rid of any you find.. The top leaves are the best for drying. I either use a dehydrator or I place them in the car to dry in a sunny position. Open up a box, place leaves on top. Crack your windows open an inch or 2, to let the condensation out👣🗝💦🌱
@AuntNutmeg That's really interesting. Thank you for that information.. You've given me some keywords to look into the science behind what your saying.. ✔️
@@ralsharp6013 I hope it works for you! The ratio for powdered sugar is 1 Tablespoon of arrowroot powder or corn starch per cup of sugar. I'm thinking a bit less might work with fruit since it's not pure sugar. Good luck experimenting!

This is brilliant. Thx! I puréed strawberries to do something similar but I never thought I drying it like this. Nice eating but it failed. Definitely time to try again.
oh i see what your doing with this. great idea. i juice and do smoothies, yet dont do like i am supose to because i do not like the bulky taste. i'm gonna start doing some this way. and i need yogert & not thrilled on it, so great way to add it in diet too lol. plus my fruit will not go bad on me this way! it goes bad so fast. thanks for sharing.
I had tiny wild tomatoes that are this size. I put them in a zip lock bag and crushed the with a rolling pen. Worked great to dehydrate them. I will try this with berries.
Oh now I need to go picking! I’d love powdered blueberries for my daily smoothies. Tell me about conditioning? I could look it up, but I’d love to know how you would do it.Thanks!!

@@monalighatgeblue I haven’t tried it. It probably works but it takes a really long time to dehydrate in the dehydrator so I can only imagine how long it would take in the over. I dehydrated quite a bit last fall & each time it took overnight.

I like to use a potato masher of all things (in place of your onion cutter). it breaks them and squashes them in one go + I found with poking them I was missing too many berries and it was tedious. Ps. It has to be the type of masher that is a flat surface with holes in it.

I've just started making the veggie powder. Just need the caning lid attachment to use my mason jars. I've got greens. A few other veggies ready to blend
Amazing. Thanks for making this. I absolutely love it and never thought of making powders. I have 5 blueberry bushes netted giving me TONS of fresh blueberries. I also have 2 plum trees, wild raspberries. "Really wild'' haha. I have a 5 in 1 apple tree. 5 different apples from a dwarf tree. It's amazing. Can't wait for summer & so I can try this. Also, getting a peach & nectarine tree.
I think this would be the perfect way for making seedless jams and drinks by making the powder? I’m so new to this and enjoying the information! Thank you for sharing! Have a blessed day!
No . It doesn't dissolve for drinks the way dissolvable powders do. It's still the fiber left - and can be used in something like a tea bag so that you can flavor the drink, and still remove the pulpy bits if you don't enjoy that. Jam is best made from fresh/frozen/rehydrated whole.
This randomly popped on my feed and just in time! I do a juice cleanse every two weeks and a few days I decided to turn the pulp from juicing into a powder. So the extra tips are wonderful! Thank you for sharing 🤗. Do you have any tips on turning the powder into supplements? I leaning towards using my leftover pulp for supplements with veggie caps.
Hi! I just bought my first Excalibur dehydrator. The first time I used it, I made apple chips and one tray of frozen wild blueberries. The apples after several hours became more crispy. But the blueberries became the size of a peppercorn. I don't know what I did wrong. I imagine it's ok it it shrinks, but that much? I would like to make fruit powders. I have so many wild blueberries in the freezer. My husband loves to pick wild berries. There's no way I can stop him, even if I tell him I have more than enough! I like your channel.
