Note that collards are the easiest green to freeze too; you can cut them into any small sizes you like and then put into container alternating with paper towels, which catch the extra moisture and also help to insulate. They don't break down, darken, or freezer burn, and they can go straight into a salad or quick-cook applcation.

I've noted, on the bottom of my Sahara BioChef Dryer, that there are also vents in that section also. So unless that bottom sheet (to catch bits and pieces) is also more of a net type/fairly open weave construction, I'm a bit wary of covering the very bottom of my particular dryer. It came with various types of dryer sheets as well as the gridded trays.

Obviously if there are vents on the bottom you shouldn't cover them, but you can put a mesh sheet on top which will help, or put one underneath.

Love this and I've done it for years. I even sprinkle a little on desserts; the taste isn't an issue, because you really don't taste much until it starts to rehydrate and by then it's way past your taste buds. Want to take it a step farther? Ferment your healthy greens, carrot or beet peelings etc., puree, spread the mushy greens very thinly on a fruit leather tray and dehydrate on the lowest setting. Grind into powded again. Because of the salt content, this is my table salt. As it rehyddrates in your gut, the good 'bugs' wake up 😊

Wild greens are something I've come to appreciate more and more. In many areas, you can find them in abundance, when they are in season. Wild mustards are snazingly bountiful in some areas. Even in Arizona there us a Wild mustard species (Sagara Mustard) that is wildly abundant in some areas. You can gather bushels in a few minutes. You can easily stock up for a year's worth. They're pungent raw but nice and mild cooked. "Green Dean" (EatTheWeeds YT channel) is a good source of information about various wild greens.

Since you are heating the greens when dehydrating, why do still need to condition them afterward? Also, do you need to condition the pieces if you don't powder them? And one last question, could you condition them in the dehydrator, just setting the temp where you need it? Thanks for the wonderful vids.

@ThePurposefulPantry

2 жыл бұрын

yes - you condition everything after drying. Conditioning isn't a further drying process - it's making sure everything is equally dry and moisture free. So condition everything once dried before you put it on the shelf for storage, regardless if you are powdering it or not. Conditioning powder is a little different process using very light heat - so yes, you can put it back into a low temp dehydrator or the oven like I explained.

It helps ensure that the powder is fully dry - after being put into a blender and the heat introducing new moisture, it being out and absorbing moisture more than it's whole form, it's a way to help stop clumping and ensure it's fully dry. No, you don't have to. That's always your choice.

No - as that is actually juiced greens and veg. It will infuse and mix with water, but because it's not 'juiced', it is the fibrous remains of the greens (plus nutrients). so it tends to not dissolve the way drink mixes dissolve. But you can still use it s such, just know you may have some floaty bits and some solids at the bottom when you get there - just chug that last drink. If you mean drinks like Ag1 - those are a bit more dissolvable.
