So much OREGANO | Drying herbs in a dehydrator
Before the homestead vegetable garden takes off, it’s time to harvest the herb garden for food preservation. Join Rebecca to see how easy it is to preserve herbs by dehydrating them in a dehydrator.

I thought a dehydrator was not good for drying herbs as you lose the pungent flavor??

Dehydrating or air-drying herbs actually concentrates their flavor by reducing their water content, hence why recipes call for less dry herbs than fresh (usually a 1 tsp to 1tbsp ratio). When it comes to nutritional/medicinal value of herbs, the temperature can affect certain compounds. The lowest heat possible is recommended to preserve maximum nutrition. Some of the higher-moisture content herbs actually dry better in a dehydrator than just at room temperature, especially in climates like ours where the humidity levels are high. We can easily end up with moldy herbs before they fully dry at room-temp.
