Yummy! I love thinly sliced dehydrated fruits like pineapple. The way to tell if a pineapple is ripe is by pulling on the centermost leaf. If you tug on it and it slips out easily and the pineapple is yellow in color, then the sugars are concentrated enough and it's ready to eat.🍍
If you put the leafy top in water. It will rejuvenate and make a nice plant, just leave some of the pineapple on it, instead of breaking it off. Grat video. 🙂
Nice job! I would definitely want to preserve the bromelain. I Watched a video by an eye Doctor Who talked about a study where people ate 50 g to 100 g of pineapple every day for 90 days and got rid of lots of their floaters. Due to the bromelain.
Omg omg OMG!!!!! We just found pineapples like you had with just a little bit of mold on the bottom and lots of color for $0.49 per pineapple!!!!!! We now have 15 to get dehydrated and use!!!!!!! I'm so stinking excited and glad I'm not afraid of a little over ripeness lol 🥰❤️ thank you for being my inspiration hun
@@FermentedHomestead I couldn't believe it lol. They were on sale for 99¢ and they were throwing away these because of the little dots of mold and I asked the main manager if I could buy them and he said half off.
Perfect. 😁👍🏻 I looked up dehydrating pineapple and I found you. I thought a beautiful golden pineapple yesterday. I peeled it. We are it. Then I looked this up. I'm going back tomorrow to get more. Tha k you got the information. This time I will fill the dehydrator. 😁👍🏻
Glad to hear your pineapple took 2 days.. mine took 3 days at 120 degrees. But they are still rubbery.. my strawberries same.. When I hear the ‘click’ of the pineapple as it’s dropped into the jar.. I’m jealous.. mine didn’t. They are very sticky feeling too. I tested one.. but I tasted tin.. I used canned in juice pineapple.
your right mango are amazing but we love pineapple as well.My big dehydrator like an excalibur an older version just broke. ugh but have my 2 smaller ones. Interesting fact about doing it on that low temp going to try that.
@@FermentedHomestead Wow. It does look like new. My oldest is about 55 yrs old! I briefly sold them, just long enough to really know the product and get all I wanted, all my kids wanted, at a nice discount. The only USA knife company. The newer designs are very nice, Santoku, etc. 4" paring knife.
Love your easy going down to the facts videos. I am wondering if you condition your pineapple to make sure it’s dry? Assuming not since your jars are packed too tight to shake? I’m interested in long term storage… how long do you think these can last if vacuum sealed? Thanks!
I don’t simply because they are too tasty and they never last very long 😂 if they are conditioned and vacuum sealed with a dry dry pack in them I think they’d last years, if they’re exposed to light it would degrade faster but you’d still get a good while on them.
There is a shortage of dehydrated pineapple in the Houston Texas area, and really insanely expensive if you can find them ($2.36 OZ). Just a few batches of homemade dehydrated pineapple will pay for the dehydrator. Also the store bought ones have been laced with plenty of sugar. How do they taste without the sugar? I guess if it is not sweet enough I can always add artificial sweetener. Planning on purchasing a dehydrator in the near future to make trail mix for my wife and I to snack on.
You need to invest in a cheapo pineapple corer slicer. They work amazing! I have to be very careful with pineapple. I love it so much but it just tears my mouth to pieces! Makes it mincemeat.
Haha! I thought about it but I have such a hard time buying one use tools for the kitchen, I have so many gadgets already 🥸 From what I hear that is the bromelain going to work a bit early.
@@FermentedHomestead in addition to close ups, showing us what it looks like in between at certain intervals: like every 12 hrs. Esp when you said the mandolin slices were done quickly. We didn't see them at all. The rings you put in a jar... we're they snap crisp, bendy? Still moist? Can't tell from distance of camera. You spent a lot of time showing the cutting of all 5 pineapple... which kinda wasn't necessary after we see the different slices... and then no time at all showing finished product that was going in Jars so we actually didn't see anything of the dehydrating process and looks of fruit. So showing us what they look like, snapping them so we hear what sound should be like and even dropping piece in counter is majorly helpful. When we've never done it, we know nothing. Thanks I did one pineapple and I did it off n on for few days and finally put in fridge cuz it just seemed that multiple days was too long. Now I realize it does take that long. So all the steps and stages in between is tremendous help. Thanks so much
I see tons of eggs in your kitchen. Do you dehydrate them? Do you have a vid on it? Do you worry about the massive amounts of pesticide that would be on the skins for making that drink? Thanks
thanks for this vid very very informative but i actually do have a question , if dehydrate it faster to make the pineapple tea do you think its gonna kill all the enzymes ??
Most likely it would. The higher the temperature the quicker the enzymes break down. If you google it you can find little info graphics that lay it out.
Is there any kind of helpful guide to how many silica gel packs you might need for a certain size container or for what you are storing? For example fruit like you have here vs dehydrated potato flakes. Thanks!
To my knowledge all dehydrated good would be treated equal, the difference would be the container size. That information should be available on the packaging when you buy it. I hope that helps!
Can I dehydrate fresh pineapple at 105 to 115° to keep the enzymes alive? I’m wondering if it’s safe to let it go as long as it will need to add that temperature.
Interesting video! Do you know what would happen if you were to put candy in a dehydrator? Would the effect be the same as a freeze dryer? (Something like Skittles)
We host a #LetsDehydrate playlist if your interested? just need #LetsDehydrate in description as well with the playlist url for viewers .. and mention in video about the playlist. it's growing quickly.. great exposure and a great variety of channels and dehydrating for your viewers in one placae... and let me know.. we'd be delighted to add your video's . Let me know if your interested... have a peek at it if you like?
That sounds like fun! I don’t have any dehydrating videos planned that I haven’t already filmed but I will check out the playlist and see if I have any dehydrating videos I can do 💜
Sounds as though it's a learning process by trial and error and your video is a starting point...thanks But I got to ask...what's up with all the egg cartons...
No, similar ideas but they are different. Dry dry absorbs the moisture and the oxygen absorbers suck up the oxygen. I prefer the dry dry for dehydrating but I believe you can use either but not both.
Did you know if you take a pineapple that's not dried out the leaves, you pull a few layers of leaves off and then put it all n to a jar of water like a Mayo jar. Let it get roots then plant it and make sure you fertilize it in spring and summer. Let grow and you'll get your own pineapple fruit. It will not be as big but!!

@@FermentedHomestead the only fruits that will ripen are ethylene respirating fruits as the ethylene they produce will force the fruit to ripen, it's how growers can control the ripening process on their own terms by ventilation to slow ripening down or flushing fruit with high levels of ethylene to speed up ripening 🙂 A few fruits don't produce ethylene meaning they also can't absorb the ethylene and can't ripen off of the plant. Also the top of a pineapple is the youngest part and is the least ripe, the bottom is the oldest part and will be the ripest, hope you find this information helpful 🙂

We absolutely love pineapples. Fresh, dehydrated, any way they're amazing lol.
So much yum!
1st time watched now a huge fan. Excellent and informative show

Oh I love deals like that so much! Save the scraps! I have a good ferment coming Friday 💜
@@FermentedHomestead I remember you saying that should I freeze them or just refrigerate them?
I just paid 2.99 for a couple. That's a deal here in Canada when they can go for 6.99
I'm looking forward to doing some pineapple chips. I've never done before but will give it a go.😊

Hey you! Yummy ! Can’t say I eat this anymore but I know from the past how good dehydrated pineapple is!! Great vid !
Hey! I hear you on that one! I shouldn’t be but I do have a lower carb pineapple ferment coming up!
@@FermentedHomestead I’ll be watching for it!
your right mango are amazing but we love pineapple as well.My big dehydrator like an excalibur an older version just broke. ugh but have my 2 smaller ones. Interesting fact about doing it on that low temp going to try that.
I have gone through a few dehydrators in my day so I know there pain! Lol
Enjoyed the knowledge - -Would like to know what type dehydrator machine your using...my shelves are not as large... thanks for getting back to me.
I leave in the core because it is full of nutritious fiber. Results like like flowers.
Thank you. ❤
I would like to see a video on making the drink with the “scraps”.
I do have an apple cider vinegar video on it
Also the slices you took of of the put side has lots of juice and fruit in it let the kids eat it all but the peal.
I love your knife. Very familiar. Cutco? They are the best. Too bad more people don't know about them.
Of course! It’s my favorite knife! A friend gave it to me when I started culinary school once upon a 20 years ago haha, they last forever!

Thank you doing this this morning Whoohoo
Thanks for the video. Closeups would be appreciated being as the finished product can barely be seen.
Good point! I’ll try and include some close up b roll next time I’m filming! Thank you for the tip!

Do you know what would happen if you were to put candy in a dehydrator? Would the effect be the same as a freeze dryer? (Something like Skittles)
Thank you! Ive never tried it but I would imagine candy would melt. Dehydration uses heat and freeze dryers use cold.
Smell the bottom of a pineapple to smell for its sweetness to know if it’s ripe
When I thought we had seen it all ....halfway. Done. The creativity for this mom is ...?
Not entirely sure how to reply so we’ll go with a 😀 and a 💜
What is that green and pink thing on wall behind you?
May I suggest that you invest in a pineapple coring tool? They are the easiest way to get the pineapple 🍍 looking like rings.
I appreciate the suggestion 😃 we don’t do pineapples enough to need one but if we do I sure will get one!
@@FermentedHomestead They’re relatively inexpensive.👍
U run it 36 hrs contansly or u cam stop it to cool off the electric line or dehydrator?
Yes, you can stop to cool off the machine if need be 😃
What should we use to control enzymatic browning reaction
I didn’t have an issue with it but you could dip them in lemon juice or citric acid water

But I got to ask...what's up with all the egg cartons...
We had a lot of chickens 😂
If you add chili powder would you do it while dehydrating or after?
Yes I believe you would
Big roomy kitchen. I like that.
It’s great! I haven’t had a kitchen this big before
What’s the name of the dry packs?
I’m not sure but I believe they’re dry dry packs
Is the dry and dry packets same as oxygen absorbers? Thx
No, similar ideas but they are different. Dry dry absorbs the moisture and the oxygen absorbers suck up the oxygen. I prefer the dry dry for dehydrating but I believe you can use either but not both.
@@FermentedHomestead thank u I will look for them! ❤️
Did you know if you take a pineapple that's not dried out the leaves, you pull a few layers of leaves off and then put it all n to a jar of water like a Mayo jar.
Let it get roots then plant it and make sure you fertilize it in spring and summer.
Let grow and you'll get your own pineapple fruit.
It will not be as big but!! It will be very sweet and your plant will keep making more fruit.
So your never buying it again.
Time and temperature
Depends on your desired result. I put it in at 135 until it was dry, maybe 16 hours?
Good morning, did these end up storing well?
Honestly they didn’t get the chance to 😂 they were so tasty we went through them in a couple months
@@FermentedHomestead Thank you!

Can I just point out that pineapple is one of the few fruits that cannot be ripened once removed from its plant, it will only decay....
I haven’t heard that before but interesting, it sure seems to ripen
