dalthauserNew experiment. I'm dehydrating my garden.
Mostly the greens (collards, spinach, etc.) that I can't consume and have already frozen a good supply. It's pretty simpe, and they shrink down to almost nothing - kind of creepy. I'm storing them in the glass bottles/jars I can't bear to throw out.
I'm going to play with it and see how I can use it. My first idea is using it in my smoothies in the summer when greens don't grow in the garden. I can save some money because I spend about $25 a month on smoothie greens during the summer months. They can also go into fortifying soups/stews. Maybe included in dips (which I never make....so that's not a very good idea I guess).
Anyway - I'll keep my journal posted on my progress :-)
