Hi Sweet Friends, A few weeks ago I showed you the best for How to Make Cauliflower Rice which you can watch here: th-cam.com/video/l3ke0KuqNXs/w-d-xo.html And now I am sharing How to Dehydrate it for Food Storage. This takes up so much less space and frees up your fridge and freezer. Dehydrated Cauliflower Rice rehydrates and heats up beautifully and I also show how I like to prepare it. Plus, once it's dehydrated, you can grind it up and make cauliflower that you can actually bake with!! Love, Mary
@Frank - Hi Frank, Is it fuzzy? Or just white? If it is just white and not fuzzy, it may be kahm yeast. I can't put a picture here, so search the term on the internet so that you can see what it looks like. It can happen with ACV - however it is not harmful, just persistent. Unfortunately, Ferments can be very persnickety!! If it is mold, you will have to throw it out and start over again. Try using very firm tart apples, like Granny Smiths. They will be less likely to turn into mush. Keep me posted. Love, Mary
This was quite informative and enjoyable. You have a nice presence and delivery which is no small feat. I have been on a keto regimen for about 18 months and found Cauliflower rice to be a healthy, delicious and versatile replacement for rice. You’ve given me a renewed desire for a nice dehydrator because preservation and storage is key for just me. I’m a new fan and now will be catching up on all your videos. Well done!
Great work Mary! My mom (Melissa) loves your videos and sometimes when I am over there I'll hear one of your videos playing in the kitchen. I also saw that your channel has grown a bunch so congratulations! Blessings from Minnesota.
Benjamin Sahlstrom - Hi Ben, Thanks so much for visiting! I am so thrilled to hear that your mom is enjoying my videos. I have a feeling she and I would become fast friends if I lived in your area! Hope you are doing well. It must be getting quite cool up there. We finally got a little cooler weather here in the Texas Hill Country which has been delightful. Yes, I am so happy to see my channel growing because I have such a passion for teaching people how to make traditional nutrient dense foods that I am glad there are others out there who are interested in it too. Have a great weekend! Love and God bless, Mary🤗🤗🤗
I was just thinking about dehydrating my store bought cauliflower rice to make cauliflower flour! It just popped in my head, didn’t realize it was a thing already! I want to make my own low lectin, gluten free flour. Thinking millet, cricket, arrowroot almond. Thanks so much for the tips!
I was just gifted nine cauliflowers. This video was very informative on how to dehydrate it. The flour sounds very interesting. I’ll have to look that one up after I master dehydration.
Hello Mary, I looked through your video library for the follow up video on how to make the dehydrated cauliflower rice into flour, but couldn't find it.
Thank you, Mary. I can often get cauliflowers at 99 cents each. They have a few brown spots but are perfectly good. I'll make some dehydrated cauliflower rice with the next one.
Vera Campbell - Hi Vera, So glad you liked this. Yes, a dehydrator is a godsend. Be sure to check thrift shops right after Christmas. So many people get them as gifts but don’t want them so you can find them new for a fraction of the price!! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Vera Campbell - Great! I have seen a number of them at various goodwills in my area. And it’s always usually after the holidays. So keep an eye out. I hope you find one. As a sidenote, you can dehydrate cauliflower in the oven but it just takes a little more work. You have to set your oven as low as possible. If you can set it at 150°F that’s great. If not set it at its lowest setting and spread the cauliflower rice out on parchment paper on baking pans. Periodically rotate the pans of cauliflower rice and also periodically crack the door open of the oven. It’ll take longer but it will eventually dry out. Hope this helps! Love, Mary🤗🤗🤗
I just found your channel a few days ago. I am so thrilled! Thank you so much for the vast wealth of information! I am learning so much as we have began a backyard/urban garden and moving back to a homestead! I appreciate this and I will be trying this and making videos giving you credit! I'm so excited to ferment and make this flour!

@@MarysNest I am gleaning as much knowledge as possible from your channel to help me. I will be watching a second time to take notes. I have Meniere's Disease and have been in vertigo since yesterday.So I'm just watching more listening making lists on my phone and learning Thank you so much
The Mayor’s Daughter - I am so sorry to hear about your Menière’s disease. My best friend has that. But I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying my channel. Please let me know how I can help assist you in anyway. I’m not sure if I mentioned this to you before, but if you look in the description under most of my videos, there is a direct link to the printable recipe. And if by chance there is a video that doesn’t have an accompanying recipe, let me know and I will work on it as soon as possible. So glad you’re here on this traditional foods journey with me! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
You have the sweetest, most beautiful and pleasant sounding voice! Are you truly this nice of a person in real life? The world needs more of you! I'm just about to go deal with 5 heads of cauliflower... so glad I found your channel!
YES!! I am so happy to see this video! I learned about goitergens, & that vacuum seal product, too. Can't wait to see the pizza crust video. That'll be a very big, positive, healthy, & delicious video for me & my family. I JUST realized WHO you remind me of.....because you teach, AND, show a recipe....Alton Brown!! Seriously. I love learning, as well as the recipes. I'd love to have a dehydrating device. But, again, I'm on a very limited income. I dont have a vehicle now. So, I'll have to locate a great deal online. Thank you, Mary, for this marvelous video. I'll be sharing this with several KETO FB groups. Wishing you & yours a beautiful cool, crisp weekend. God bless you & your family. 🍁🍁🍁🇺🇸♥️
@D Hoosier - So happy you liked this video!! And thank you for the kind words!! Alton Brown!! What a compliment!! I'm flattered!! And Thank you for sharing the video. Also be sure to share the video where I show how to make the cauliflower rice: th-cam.com/video/l3ke0KuqNXs/w-d-xo.html Yes, hope you can find a good deal for a dehydrator online. Be sure to check any thrift shops like Goodwill that have online sites. After the holidays they often have a lot of dehydrators… That are brand new… That people received as gifts and didn’t want… For a fraction of the original cost. Good luck! Keep me posted. Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Hi Mary, this has been very helpful, I’m trying to find the video of you making the cauliflower flour, but have not been able to find it, I was wondering if you could send me the link to it, really interested on how you do it. Regards Angela

Watched it again. I can hardly wait to try it. Gluten is not my friend so I make pizza crusts, etc. from cauliflower rice. But I've never dehydrated it.
The pizza crust is amazing!! I'll be making more to film for a video. I was surprised how much turning the cauliflower into "flour" made a difference as compared to making the crust with a crushed cauliflower mixture. Love, Mary
I had a moment and you intrigued me with the dehydrated cauliflower. Love the tips. Well done. Have a wonderful fall there in the Hill Country Mary. Do you have pecan tree's in the area that you can go gather? Just wondering. Its a refreshing time of year after the hot summer.
Deb Allen - Hi Deb, thanks so much for visiting! We don’t have a pecan tree on our own property but yes, they are in the area. We actually have a family friend whose parents have a pecan farm! They often give us pecans which is a real treat! Yes, this cooler weather is delightful! Hope you are doing well and have a great weekend! Love, Mary

It's always a good thing to store things in less space. That's why I prefer my books for pleasure reading to be in ebook format. I have the basic Kindle e-reader and it fits all my bags and functional pockets (ones that fit my entire hand or similar sized items). It's especially beneficial when I read either a long book or an anthology. Our trick or treat was moved to tonight due to the bad weather on the original scheduled date. Yesterday was Lee's and my 12th anniversary. Unfortunately I nearly die of breathing problem trick or treating in our neighborhood and no one was available to drive us to our usual spot which is my mother's neighborhood. It's much easier on me and he gets better or multiple candies there. He got less the one time we tried our neighborhood and at the end I was struggling to breathe.
@@MarysNest In my case my large bust prevents my lungs from fully expanding which caused sleep apnea when I was a 34KK after giving birth to Thomas and made my lower back pain move up to my neck as well and was oftentimes debilitating. I walked too much one day and stopped breathing for 3 minutes so I wouldn't do anything strenuous like swing kettlebells which is my preferred workout. A breast reduction improved my breathing somewhat but not completely. Also my back pain disappeared. I only lost five inches but already gained one back due to my genetics which cause me to gain a cup size every other year no matter what I do and two when I am pregnant which is why I had my tubal ligation after Thomas. I still need to lose eight more to be comfortable again. I've never lost from the fullest part of my bust from diet/exercise or either time my breast milk dried up so surgery was and still is my only option. I breathe better when I'm sleep now but exercise is still rough for me. Deep breathing is impossible for me. My back pain is starting to come back as well. I only notice it though when I'm in certain positions.
Hi Tashi! Thanks so much for visiting!! Hope you are doing well!! I was surprised at how tasty cauliflower rice is and dehydrating it makes it great for storage! Love, Mary
Mary, what is the nutrient profile of the home-dehydrated cauliflower rice? Are there any nutrients left? I have always hated both cauliflower and broccoli due to their cooking odors. If I’m going to go through this process, it had better be worth it smell-wise AND nutrition-wise. ☺️
Hi Mary, thank you so much, you've done it again. I can't wait to see how you make your pizza crust. I have always wanted a dehydrator and I finally pulled the plug and got one on Black Friday but now I find myself a little intimidated by it. Do you know what the ratio is? Like, how many cups did that one cup of dried make? Thank you again for all that you do. I'm off to watch your pizza crust video.
Hi Stacey, You are so patient to wait for me because I have not yet filmed the pizza crust video. I got involved with my holiday baking basics recipes - but I will get back to the cauliflower come January! I would estimate that one head of "riced cauliflower" dehydrates down to about 1/4 cup! It really shrinks! LOL!! Don't be intimidated. But I understand completely - I was the same way in the beginning. Once you start experimenting, you will really get the hang of it. You can make a mistake. Start checking on things at around 4 hours - and then go from there. Even if you over dehydrate fruits and veggies - they make a great crunchy snack or salad topping! Love, Mary
Great video's ..I 've been dehydrating stuff for years ...never thought about dehydrating cauliflower rice! very curious of your cauliflower pizza dough .
Wonerful video, Mary! You gave us so many tips and ideas! So clever to think of dehydrated cauliflower rice as brown rice. Wouldn't it be delicious sautéed with some paprika (smoked paprika would be especially delicious, i think), turmeric, saffron, beet powder or matcha tea powder for color??? ~Michele
I'm not sure when dehydrating yet, but I have found with freeze drying that adding a little lemon juice or Fuit Fresh to the blanching water did keep it quite white. Freeze drying turns them into such lightweight bits they almost fly away and are more like instant potatoes when rehydrating. Since dehydrating makes the cell walls tougher, I'm hoping it will stay more firm and rice like when using - even if brown. I will try to comment again when I know 😊
Linda Fox - Hi Linda, Thanks so much for visiting. If you look in the description under my video, I have a list of supplies and there is a link to my favorite dehydrator. Let me know if you find the link. Hope this helps. Love, Mary
I did look at them. I’m seriously thinking about the mid-priced one to start with. It had lots of “likes” per amount of “likes”” versus the others in mid to higher range. What is your opinion please. Thank you my friend.
@@lindafox7822 - Hi Linda, I think the Excalibur mid-price is a good one and all we really need as home cooks. I would add the glass door though if it doesn't come with it. It makes it easy to look in and see what is going on without turning it off. Let me know what you decide. Love, Mary

New to your channel! I really enjoy your information. I am just starting to think about cauliflower rice Having some questions however I have been enjoying making chicken broth in my fried rice. I usually use the broth in place of water I however think I'd end up with soup. Then I thought about maybe using Bone broth paste. Do you have any ideas on this subject? I love the rice with onion garlic turmeric salt and pepper then I mix salsa broth and water for chicken-flavored Spanish rice. But now want to cut down the carbs.
Hello Mary, i just found your channel today and decided to watch a video (i will definitely be watching more once the kids go to bed good 😉) and you said you were gonna post a video on how to make pizza crust using cauliflower flour. Has the video been taken down? I can't seem to find it and would looove to try it 🙂
Hi, I just saw your comment and you may have learned the difference by now, but if not... maybe this will be helpful. Essentially, O² absorbers remove the oxygen from the air inside the container by a chemical reaction with iron particles which uses up the oxygen (but other air components like nitrogen and hydrogen remain). Moisture absorbers help the food stay dry by collecting water into the little silica beads in the pkt but the oxygen is not affected and is still in the container. Sometimes people also vacuum seal containers with either option (but remember that is not the same as safe canning which uses heat and pressure to kill botulism) Generally O² absorbers are used for longer term storage to diminish the ability of living organisms contaminating the food whereas moisture absorbers are used for items you would be opening and using more frequently. Hopefully this makes sense. 😊
I just followed your recipe and its almost all gone seems to have shrank into next to nothing. Did 3 heads and ikl be lucky to fill a half pint. What did i do wrong? What is the ratio to rehydrate if this is the way its meant to be?
I have done this in the FD. Very, very, lightweight bits! Also tricky to rehydrate as it's more like instant potatoes. I am going to try dehydrating w her method next - which toughens the cell walls of the food- then FD. I know that is a lot of steps but my hubby is diabetic and I am trying to have low carb long term storage options for us. 😊
Hi Allen, Yes, that is a coffee grinder. I LOVE it!! It is made by Kitchen Aid. I have three of them and use them to grind different things. It's the best one I have every used. Much better than my Braun. Hope this info. helps. Have a great weekend! Love, Mary
@@MarysNest Kitchen Aid sells several models. Do you have the model #? I live in Canada and I think some of the models are not available on Amazon, they do ship from Amazon.com. Does the container come away from the unit for cleaning? How does it do for grinding chia seeds and flax seeds. Using my Braun I have to scrap out the chia and flax seeds.
@@allenmiller2071 - Hi Allen, the base does not separate from the machine. I have not tried grinding chia or flax in it. Here is the model #BCG1000WH1 Hope this helps. I think you had another question somewhere here and I want to answer that too. :-) . You asked about pizza crusts. Yes, I have turned this into "flour" and made a crust. It was amazing. I am going to make another one for a video soon. Love, Mary
@@MarysNest Love you back. I bought a dozen half-gallon "Ball" jars from Wal-mart. I received regular mouth & large mouth "Food Saver" jar combo kit directly from ordering with them (out of stock elsewhere). I followed their video (2 jars switching 2 lid sets). - Fail I removed seal and re-inserted upside down (2 jars switching 2 lid sets) . - Fail I then filled 1 of 2 jars 7/8 full with water (2 jars switching 2 lid sets. After trying water filled, tried empty again). -Fail
Sometimes mine don't seal if I haven't placed the adapter far enough down over the top of the jar. Also, go straight down when putting it on and more of a "peeling" motion from one side when taking it off. There seems to be more of an issue with regular mouth size. Some people use two flat lids on top of each other - the extra thickness seems to help. I also regularly use one of the FoodSaver cannisters and seal repurposed jars for dried foods. Put lid on jar "finger tight" - put jar into cannister - cover and vacuum seal cannister - then slowly release cannister lid - gently check jar lid - if sealed tighten down - if not, re do. Very easy!
@@MarysNest Thanks so much! I’m just loathe to turn on our propane oven right now when it’s so HOT here! My dehydrator is in another building-no stove but I can dehydrate without creating heat in the house!😅☀️
Excellent question! Yes, you can dehydrate cauliflower rice in the oven, just make sure you spread it out in a thin on a parchment lined baking sheet - and you can put multiple sheets in you oven on different racks - and set your oven to it's lowest temp. 150F is ideal but you can also set it at 200F if that is as low as your oven will go. Periodically, open the oven door and move all the "rice" around. It can take *maybe* 4 hours to dry - but every oven is different and you will have to experiment. Keep me posted on how it turns out! :-) Also, as an aside, if you like to make bone broth, it dehydrates really well in the oven.

@@MarysNest Thank you Mary for all the information and I thought I joined your FB group but when I look at my group list yours isn't on there. Not sure why, but I did LIKE your page and I'm getting newsfeed when you put something new on it. Thanks again. 😁
Greetings, Mary. We've been thinking about freeze drying foods, prepper-style, due to the talk/rumours we've been hearing about coming food shortages due to climate change vs. the Grand Solar Minimum. Do you have any experience with freeze drying? Any thoughts about them? Our dehydrator is tiny, but this sounds good for short term storage. Thank you so much for sharing. and we hope your Halloween was nice and spooky :)
Celina Svahins - Hi Celina, The official rule is that dehydrated foods can last anywhere from four months to one year. However, the unofficial rule is that dehydrated foods can last a lot longer. I have seen various websites where people talk about being able to dehydrate food and keep it fresh for 10 years or even longer. They dehydrate the food till it’s very dry and then they pack it in mylar bags with an oxygen absorbers and suck all the air out with a food saver and then heat seal it with the food saver. That may be an option for you. You may want to research that and learn more. I don’t know too much about it. So sorry but I don’t know a lot about freeze drying food. I understand freeze-dryers are very expensive. Love, Mary🤗
Hello. Anyone can answer. 😊 Can I dehydrate frozen cauliflower rice that's been thawed out and I dab dry? I get 18lbs of frozen cauliflower rice for under $11 from Naturally a Deal. (I've done some food haul videos of Naturally a Deal on my channel Little Ladybug Patch. youtube.com/@littleladybugpatch ) I don't have a food processor (yet) and my hands are too arthritic to use a box grater for a large amount of cauliflower. Any thoughts on that? This would be cheaper and easier for me if I could do that.
Hi Sweet Friends, A few weeks ago I showed you the best for How to Make Cauliflower Rice which you can watch here: th-cam.com/video/l3ke0KuqNXs/w-d-xo.html And now I am sharing How to Dehydrate it for Food Storage. This takes up so much less space and frees up your fridge and freezer. Dehydrated Cauliflower Rice rehydrates and heats up beautifully and I also show how I like to prepare it. Plus, once it's dehydrated, you can grind it up and make cauliflower that you can actually bake with!! Love, Mary
@Frank - Hi Frank, Is it fuzzy? Or just white? If it is just white and not fuzzy, it may be kahm yeast. I can't put a picture here, so search the term on the internet so that you can see what it looks like. It can happen with ACV - however it is not harmful, just persistent. Unfortunately, Ferments can be very persnickety!! If it is mold, you will have to throw it out and start over again. Try using very firm tart apples, like Granny Smiths. They will be less likely to turn into mush. Keep me posted. Love, Mary
This was quite informative and enjoyable. You have a nice presence and delivery which is no small feat. I have been on a keto regimen for about 18 months and found Cauliflower rice to be a healthy, delicious and versatile replacement for rice. You’ve given me a renewed desire for a nice dehydrator because preservation and storage is key for just me. I’m a new fan and now will be catching up on all your videos. Well done!
Great video! New subscriber. I tries finding the pizza crust video you mention using this as cauliflower flour, but I couldn't find it.
Great work Mary! My mom (Melissa) loves your videos and sometimes when I am over there I'll hear one of your videos playing in the kitchen. I also saw that your channel has grown a bunch so congratulations! Blessings from Minnesota.
Benjamin Sahlstrom - Hi Ben, Thanks so much for visiting! I am so thrilled to hear that your mom is enjoying my videos. I have a feeling she and I would become fast friends if I lived in your area! Hope you are doing well. It must be getting quite cool up there. We finally got a little cooler weather here in the Texas Hill Country which has been delightful. Yes, I am so happy to see my channel growing because I have such a passion for teaching people how to make traditional nutrient dense foods that I am glad there are others out there who are interested in it too. Have a great weekend! Love and God bless, Mary🤗🤗🤗
Fantastics!! Can you store them in vacume seal bags as well
I was just thinking about dehydrating my store bought cauliflower rice to make cauliflower flour! It just popped in my head, didn’t realize it was a thing already! I want to make my own low lectin, gluten free flour. Thinking millet, cricket, arrowroot almond. Thanks so much for the tips!
I was just gifted nine cauliflowers. This video was very informative on how to dehydrate it. The flour sounds very interesting. I’ll have to look that one up after I master dehydration.
Hello Mary, I looked through your video library for the follow up video on how to make the dehydrated cauliflower rice into flour, but couldn't find it.
Hi Mary, do you know if you can dehydrate this coliflour rice in a regular oven and how long it would take? Great video!
Thank you, Mary. I can often get cauliflowers at 99 cents each. They have a few brown spots but are perfectly good. I'll make some dehydrated cauliflower rice with the next one.
Australia August 2022 due in part to WEF policies small cauliflowers are around $10 each.
"You will eat bugs and be happy."
Wow! I just got a dehydrator and can't wait to dehydrate cauliflower to make cauliflower flour! So excited 😁
Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Thank you! It's truly a staple here.
That’s so easy Mary. I need one of those machines. Thank you. God bless you.
Vera Campbell - Hi Vera, So glad you liked this. Yes, a dehydrator is a godsend. Be sure to check thrift shops right after Christmas. So many people get them as gifts but don’t want them so you can find them new for a fraction of the price!! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Mary's Nest oh Mary thank you for the tip. I never thought about that. I’ll keep an eye out for one. Thanks.
Vera Campbell - Great! I have seen a number of them at various goodwills in my area. And it’s always usually after the holidays. So keep an eye out. I hope you find one. As a sidenote, you can dehydrate cauliflower in the oven but it just takes a little more work. You have to set your oven as low as possible. If you can set it at 150°F that’s great. If not set it at its lowest setting and spread the cauliflower rice out on parchment paper on baking pans. Periodically rotate the pans of cauliflower rice and also periodically crack the door open of the oven. It’ll take longer but it will eventually dry out. Hope this helps! Love, Mary🤗🤗🤗
Mary's Nest oh ok. Thank you Mary. Do you have a video on making cauliflower cream potatoes? I like it that way to. Thank you Mary.
Vera Campbell - I don’t, but that’s a really good idea. Thank you for the inspiration. Maybe I’ll do that as we get closer to Thanksgiving. Love, Mary

😍great video!!! I learned so much!!! Now I feel confident I can make dehydrated cauliflower rice. I will make a lot of it and vacuum seal it.
YES!! I am so happy to see this video! I learned about goitergens, & that vacuum seal product, too. Can't wait to see the pizza crust video. That'll be a very big, positive, healthy, & delicious video for me & my family. I JUST realized WHO you remind me of.....because you teach, AND, show a recipe....Alton Brown!! Seriously. I love learning, as well as the recipes. I'd love to have a dehydrating device. But, again, I'm on a very limited income. I dont have a vehicle now. So, I'll have to locate a great deal online. Thank you, Mary, for this marvelous video. I'll be sharing this with several KETO FB groups. Wishing you & yours a beautiful cool, crisp weekend. God bless you & your family. 🍁🍁🍁🇺🇸♥️

Hi Mary, this has been very helpful, I’m trying to find the video of you making the cauliflower flour, but have not been able to find it, I was wondering if you could send me the link to it, really interested on how you do it. Regards Angela

Watched it again. I can hardly wait to try it. Gluten is not my friend so I make pizza crusts, etc. from cauliflower rice. But I've never dehydrated it.
The pizza crust is amazing!! I'll be making more to film for a video. I was surprised how much turning the cauliflower into "flour" made a difference as compared to making the crust with a crushed cauliflower mixture. Love, Mary
@@MarysNest I don't make it into flour. I use the rice. I'm looking forward to trying your version.
linda chandler - Wonderful! It will be a fun adventure!! Love, Mary
Look forward to cauliflower pizza flour recipe please
I had a moment and you intrigued me with the dehydrated cauliflower. Love the tips. Well done. Have a wonderful fall there in the Hill Country Mary. Do you have pecan tree's in the area that you can go gather? Just wondering. Its a refreshing time of year after the hot summer.
Deb Allen - Hi Deb, thanks so much for visiting! We don’t have a pecan tree on our own property but yes, they are in the area. We actually have a family friend whose parents have a pecan farm! They often give us pecans which is a real treat! Yes, this cooler weather is delightful! Hope you are doing well and have a great weekend! Love, Mary
What temperature would I dehydrate frozen cauliflower rice bought in stores?? Still 8 hours?
Love this. Thanks! Dehyrating a head now. But curious why you use both oxygen absorber and vacuum sealer. Don't they do the same thing?
Excellent question!! I use the oxygen absorber because even though I am removing air, my lids are not able to be airtight. So overtime some oxygen may sneak in, but then the oxygen absorbers will take care of that. Hope that makes sense. Do you enjoy making traditional foods?

It's always a good thing to store things in less space. That's why I prefer my books for pleasure reading to be in ebook format. I have the basic Kindle e-reader and it fits all my bags and functional pockets (ones that fit my entire hand or similar sized items). It's especially beneficial when I read either a long book or an anthology. Our trick or treat was moved to tonight due to the bad weather on the original scheduled date. Yesterday was Lee's and my 12th anniversary. Unfortunately I nearly die of breathing problem trick or treating in our neighborhood and no one was available to drive us to our usual spot which is my mother's neighborhood. It's much easier on me and he gets better or multiple candies there. He got less the one time we tried our neighborhood and at the end I was struggling to breathe.
Oh my goodness!! Jean!! What happened that you were having trouble breathing. Are there are a lot of hill, etc. Hope all is well now. Love, Mary
@@MarysNest In my case my large bust prevents my lungs from fully expanding which caused sleep apnea when I was a 34KK after giving birth to Thomas and made my lower back pain move up to my neck as well and was oftentimes debilitating. I walked too much one day and stopped breathing for 3 minutes so I wouldn't do anything strenuous like swing kettlebells which is my preferred workout. A breast reduction improved my breathing somewhat but not completely. Also my back pain disappeared. I only lost five inches but already gained one back due to my genetics which cause me to gain a cup size every other year no matter what I do and two when I am pregnant which is why I had my tubal ligation after Thomas. I still need to lose eight more to be comfortable again. I've never lost from the fullest part of my bust from diet/exercise or either time my breast milk dried up so surgery was and still is my only option. I breathe better when I'm sleep now but exercise is still rough for me. Deep breathing is impossible for me. My back pain is starting to come back as well. I only notice it though when I'm in certain positions.
@@jeanwoodall1523 - Oh Jean, I am so sorry to hear this. Yes, I can imagine how uncomfortable that must be. Love, Mary
This was Awesome!
Thank You
OR...you could make stir fried rice!! I can't wait! Thanks
Wow!! What a great idea!!❤️🤗❤️
How how will it last in vacuum seal jars out of light.?
Interesting, I never had cauliflower rice but I heard it’s a great alternative... TFS ☺️
Hi Tashi! Thanks so much for visiting!! Hope you are doing well!! I was surprised at how tasty cauliflower rice is and dehydrating it makes it great for storage! Love, Mary
Mary, what is the nutrient profile of the home-dehydrated cauliflower rice? Are there any nutrients left? I have always hated both cauliflower and broccoli due to their cooking odors. If I’m going to go through this process, it had better be worth it smell-wise AND nutrition-wise. ☺️
Such a great idea! Thank you. I see you are being tv appropriate; I would wash up really well and use my hands ☺️
Hi Linda! LOL!! I love it...TV appropriate!! How true!! Love, Mary
Great video and what a beautiful smile
Hi Mary, thank you so much, you've done it again. I can't wait to see how you make your pizza crust. I have always wanted a dehydrator and I finally pulled the plug and got one on Black Friday but now I find myself a little intimidated by it. Do you know what the ratio is? Like, how many cups did that one cup of dried make? Thank you again for all that you do. I'm off to watch your pizza crust video.
Hi Stacey, You are so patient to wait for me because I have not yet filmed the pizza crust video. I got involved with my holiday baking basics recipes - but I will get back to the cauliflower come January! I would estimate that one head of "riced cauliflower" dehydrates down to about 1/4 cup! It really shrinks! LOL!! Don't be intimidated. But I understand completely - I was the same way in the beginning. Once you start experimenting, you will really get the hang of it. You can make a mistake. Start checking on things at around 4 hours - and then go from there. Even if you over dehydrate fruits and veggies - they make a great crunchy snack or salad topping! Love, Mary
Great video's ..I 've been dehydrating stuff for years ...never thought about dehydrating cauliflower rice! very curious of your cauliflower pizza dough .
Wonerful video, Mary! You gave us so many tips and ideas! So clever to think of dehydrated cauliflower rice as brown rice. Wouldn't it be delicious sautéed with some paprika (smoked paprika would be especially delicious, i think), turmeric, saffron, beet powder or matcha tea powder for color??? ~Michele
Hi Michele!! Thanks so much for visiting!! What a sweetheart you are!! And I love all your ideas!! You are always so creative. Love, Mary
Thank you
Is there some way to keep it whiter in color? Esp for use for cream soup?
I'm not sure when dehydrating yet, but I have found with freeze drying that adding a little lemon juice or Fuit Fresh to the blanching water did keep it quite white. Freeze drying turns them into such lightweight bits they almost fly away and are more like instant potatoes when rehydrating. Since dehydrating makes the cell walls tougher, I'm hoping it will stay more firm and rice like when using - even if brown. I will try to comment again when I know 😊
Where could I purchase a good dehydrating machine?i greatly enjoy your videos.
Linda Fox - Hi Linda, Thanks so much for visiting. If you look in the description under my video, I have a list of supplies and there is a link to my favorite dehydrator. Let me know if you find the link. Hope this helps. Love, Mary
I did look at them. I’m seriously thinking about the mid-priced one to start with. It had lots of “likes” per amount of “likes”” versus the others in mid to higher range. What is your opinion please. Thank you my friend.
@@lindafox7822 - Hi Linda, I think the Excalibur mid-price is a good one and all we really need as home cooks. I would add the glass door though if it doesn't come with it. It makes it easy to look in and see what is going on without turning it off. Let me know what you decide. Love, Mary
You are just awesome...thank you💜

New to your channel! I really enjoy your information. I am just starting to think about cauliflower rice Having some questions however I have been enjoying making chicken broth in my fried rice. I usually use the broth in place of water I however think I'd end up with soup. Then I thought about maybe using Bone broth paste. Do you have any ideas on this subject? I love the rice with onion garlic turmeric salt and pepper then I mix salsa broth and water for chicken-flavored Spanish rice. But now want to cut down the carbs.
Hi not sure i understand so are you saying cook the rice first then dehydrate? Pls advise
I was hoping to see the cauliflower flour video but I can't find it.
Hello Mary, i just found your channel today and decided to watch a video (i will definitely be watching more once the kids go to bed good 😉) and you said you were gonna post a video on how to make pizza crust using cauliflower flour. Has the video been taken down? I can't seem to find it and would looove to try it 🙂
Cauliflower has a lot of water which isn't good for frying but if I dehydrate it and re hydrate does it hold the moister like in the beginning?.
Hi Mary! Can you explain the difference between oxygen vs moisture absorbers, and when to use each? Love your channel ! God bless
Hi, I just saw your comment and you may have learned the difference by now, but if not... maybe this will be helpful. Essentially, O² absorbers remove the oxygen from the air inside the container by a chemical reaction with iron particles which uses up the oxygen (but other air components like nitrogen and hydrogen remain). Moisture absorbers help the food stay dry by collecting water into the little silica beads in the pkt but the oxygen is not affected and is still in the container. Sometimes people also vacuum seal containers with either option (but remember that is not the same as safe canning which uses heat and pressure to kill botulism) Generally O² absorbers are used for longer term storage to diminish the ability of living organisms contaminating the food whereas moisture absorbers are used for items you would be opening and using more frequently. Hopefully this makes sense. 😊
Does dehydrating get rid of the "gym sock" odor, the same way that dry cooking in a frying pan does?
I just followed your recipe and its almost all gone seems to have shrank into next to nothing. Did 3 heads and ikl be lucky to fill a half pint. What did i do wrong? What is the ratio to rehydrate if this is the way its meant to be?
Would this freeze dry well too
I have done this in the FD. Very, very, lightweight bits! Also tricky to rehydrate as it's more like instant potatoes. I am going to try dehydrating w her method next - which toughens the cell walls of the food- then FD. I know that is a lot of steps but my hubby is diabetic and I am trying to have low carb long term storage options for us. 😊
Is there a way to dehydrate in the oven?
Heidi of Rain Country Homestead cuts cotton fabric to use in place of the mats a d paper I the dehydratkr.
I can’t find the video where you said to make flour from dehydrated cauliflower .
Is that a coffee grinder you have next to you on the table? What's the make of this coffee grinder?
Hi Allen, Yes, that is a coffee grinder. I LOVE it!! It is made by Kitchen Aid. I have three of them and use them to grind different things. It's the best one I have every used. Much better than my Braun. Hope this info. helps. Have a great weekend! Love, Mary
@@MarysNest Kitchen Aid sells several models. Do you have the model #? I live in Canada and I think some of the models are not available on Amazon, they do ship from Amazon.com. Does the container come away from the unit for cleaning? How does it do for grinding chia seeds and flax seeds. Using my Braun I have to scrap out the chia and flax seeds.
@@allenmiller2071 - Hi Allen, the base does not separate from the machine. I have not tried grinding chia or flax in it. Here is the model #BCG1000WH1 Hope this helps. I think you had another question somewhere here and I want to answer that too. :-) . You asked about pizza crusts. Yes, I have turned this into "flour" and made a crust. It was amazing. I am going to make another one for a video soon. Love, Mary
Hi, can I dehydrated it under the sun and can I use it to make bread.
Thanks
I’m not sure. I have never tried it. Love, Mary
Immo try oven dehydrating it.
Does making dehydrated cauliflower smell up the kitchen?
"Wide Mouth" has failed on 2 separate lids which were then tried on two separate jars. Could not get a seal.
Please advise.
So sorry to hear this. I’m not sure what to say. Can you give me more details. Thanks so much. Love, Mary
@@MarysNest Love you back.
I bought a dozen half-gallon "Ball" jars from Wal-mart.
I received regular mouth & large mouth "Food Saver" jar combo kit directly from ordering with them (out of stock elsewhere).
I followed their video (2 jars switching 2 lid sets). - Fail
I removed seal and re-inserted upside down
(2 jars switching 2 lid sets)
. - Fail
I then filled 1 of 2 jars 7/8 full with water (2 jars switching 2 lid sets. After trying water filled, tried empty again). -Fail
Sometimes mine don't seal if I haven't placed the adapter far enough down over the top of the jar. Also, go straight down when putting it on and more of a "peeling" motion from one side when taking it off. There seems to be more of an issue with regular mouth size. Some people use two flat lids on top of each other - the extra thickness seems to help. I also regularly use one of the FoodSaver cannisters and seal repurposed jars for dried foods. Put lid on jar "finger tight" - put jar into cannister - cover and vacuum seal cannister - then slowly release cannister lid - gently check jar lid - if sealed tighten down - if not, re do. Very easy!
Thanks so much, Mary! I do have a question: Do I HAVE to blanch before dehydrating??❤️
Great question! It does work best if you blanch first but you can experiment and try skipping this step. Love, Mary
@@MarysNest Thanks so much! I’m just loathe to turn on our propane oven right now when it’s so HOT here! My dehydrator is in another building-no stove but I can dehydrate without creating heat in the house!😅☀️
Is there a way of dehydrating it without a dehydrator?
Excellent question! Yes, you can dehydrate cauliflower rice in the oven, just make sure you spread it out in a thin on a parchment lined baking sheet - and you can put multiple sheets in you oven on different racks - and set your oven to it's lowest temp. 150F is ideal but you can also set it at 200F if that is as low as your oven will go. Periodically, open the oven door and move all the "rice" around. It can take *maybe* 4 hours to dry - but every oven is different and you will have to experiment. Keep me posted on how it turns out! :-)
Also, as an aside, if you like to make bone broth, it dehydrates really well in the oven. You can learn more here: th-cam.com/play/PLkRuW3pBo2U26iFsNWK8e3ChYJfNK2GFQ.html
Have you seen my playlist about making all kinds of different bone broth in different appliances?

Greetings, Mary. We've been thinking about freeze drying foods, prepper-style, due to the talk/rumours we've been hearing about coming food shortages due to climate change vs. the Grand Solar Minimum. Do you have any experience with freeze drying? Any thoughts about them? Our dehydrator is tiny, but this sounds good for short term storage. Thank you so much for sharing. and we hope your Halloween was nice and spooky :)
Celina Svahins - Hi Celina, The official rule is that dehydrated foods can last anywhere from four months to one year. However, the unofficial rule is that dehydrated foods can last a lot longer. I have seen various websites where people talk about being able to dehydrate food and keep it fresh for 10 years or even longer. They dehydrate the food till it’s very dry and then they pack it in mylar bags with an oxygen absorbers and suck all the air out with a food saver and then heat seal it with the food saver. That may be an option for you. You may want to research that and learn more. I don’t know too much about it. So sorry but I don’t know a lot about freeze drying food. I understand freeze-dryers are very expensive. Love, Mary🤗
Hello. Anyone can answer. 😊 Can I dehydrate frozen cauliflower rice that's been thawed out and I dab dry? I get 18lbs of frozen cauliflower rice for under $11 from Naturally a Deal. (I've done some food haul videos of Naturally a Deal on my channel Little Ladybug Patch. youtube.com/@littleladybugpatch ) I don't have a food processor (yet) and my hands are too arthritic to use a box grater for a large amount of cauliflower. Any thoughts on that? This would be cheaper and easier for me if I could do that.
