I have been dehydrating for 6 years running now. The pantry space it saves is incredible. I puréed a 35 pound blue Hubbard squash and made chips I throw into soups, sauces, stews. I was able to fit that entire 35 pound squash into 1 quart jar. I do the same with pumpkin and other squashes.

Dehydrating frozen fruits and veggies is sooo easy! They're already cut, washed, and blanched and ready to go. I just open the package and dump them onto the trays frozen. They thaw pretty quickly in the dehydrator. I recently tried doing stir fry veggies. They turned out great! Just avoid the mixes with baby corn. The baby corn cobs take forever to dry and they don't rehydrate nicely at all. They get rubbery, yet mushy. Yuck! TIP- if you're dehydrating frozen fruits like strawberries that release a lot of juice when they thaw, put them on the bottom so they don't drip on other foods, and put a fruit roll tray in the very bottom to catch all the drips.

I go camping every chance I get and I dehydrate nearly everything for space saving and saving on weight, including chicken both raw and cooked. I make some lovely meals that I start soaking to rehydrate while we go on an adventure, hike or swim & then when back at camp it doesn’t take long to whip thing up into a lovely meal.

Yes! Dog snack video please. Thank you for bringing me so much joy in learning how to cook nutritious meals for my family and I. So grateful for you.

Darcy at the purposeful pantry is another great resource on canning and dehydrating and she's just released a new book.

You can prevent the corn from darkening by lowering the temperature on your dehydrator a little. It's the heat caramelizing the sugars that causes it to darken. It will take a little longer to dehydrate though.

You make a difference

Hi Mary, I used my Hamilton beach dehydrator for the first time last night for a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and frozen corn. I’m so pleased. Then this morning I found your video on frozen veggies. Enjoy your videos and been watching since 2020. God Bless and have a wonderful day.

I actually learned this method using frozen veggies on RedRose‘s YT channel but when you mentioned not discarding the water, I had to laugh because I do this too! (What’s that saying again… Great minds think alike? 😂) I’ve been doing the same thing when heating up vegetables and even saving pasta water. I will keep and freeze it for later. Just in case there’s no potable water, at least I have that lol!

Yes, please! Share more doggie snacks or food recipes. Thank you Miss Mary for sharing this dehydrator video! Love, PJ 🙏 ❤️

Another way to use dehydrated vegetables is to grind them to a powder in a blender. I did that with tomatoes then rehydrated the powder to the consistency of tomato sauce or paste depending on what I needed. My son and daughter-in-love dehydrate and grind vegetables and herbs then mix into sour cream or yogurt to make amazing dips of whatever flavors you like. But using frozen vegetables is completely new to me and I love the idea. My days of extreme vegetable chopping are over. Thanks!

Hi from the UK. Thank you for y,our videos they are very helpful as dehydration is not common proctice ihere. With food and energy prices rocketing I started buying frozen veg to add to my stores when covid hit. One HUGE suggestion I have to offer here (from experience) is once the veg is defrosted blot them GENTLY using paper towels or cloth.before putting them in the dehydrator. This removes an incredible amount of water and so saves time and energy . This works especially well with frozen sliced mushrooms. it cut dehydration time by nearly 50%. Many thanks again.

I got an electric dehydrator and did a load of frozen vegetables, but the temp kept varying too much so I sent it back. Now I just dehydrate during the winter on racks next to my wood stove. It works a charm. Lots of veggies for very little money or time and no extra electric bill - especially with our electric rates having tripled here.

I love Darcy's channel. I also started with dehydrated frozen veggies. I didn't rinse them or thaw them before putting them in. Was so easy. Celery was another great one as I never end up using it all before it goes bad. Now, I have a good stock for the future and kept the trimmings for future bone broth. I love dehydrating because it's passive work. After you slice it all up or in this case, pour the bag out, the machine does the rest. I have grape tomatoes and celery in my dehydrator now. Carrots are next. Darcy does show how to condition your food before storing.

Thank you for this. I have a dehydrator but I've never used it. I think I'll try mixed vegetables for my first go. Mary, you are such a blessing to this world. God bless!

When you have a quart jar of dehydrated veggies, what measurement of dry equates to rehydrated/cooked? I love your gentle spirit and informative videos

Hi Mary, this is a great thing to do to frozen vegetables before they get freezer burn. I've saved many a bag of vegetables by dehydrating them.

I absolutely love this channel! You go over each step so well...I'm actually dehydrating a lot right now from the garden...wonderful information for those first-timers, too! Thank you for all you do, it is quite the ministry! Great channel and wonderful information! Thank you! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)

I love that book, The Ultimate Dehydrator Cookbook. Darcy is also fantastic. Great tips in here. Thank you so much! Green peas do not rehydrate well for me so I will definitely try the way you did Lima beans and corn. As for storage, I seal in half gallon jars or Mylar bags but I also keep a pint jar of the commonly used ones on a kitchen shelf for quick uses. That prevents opening the large jars as often. I do use the moisture retardant packs in my dehydrated goods as it is very humid here and they are extremely beneficial. Very helpful video, sweet friend.
