I don't usually comment, but my heart feels the need, especially since I caught this video just after you posted. I just want to thank you for your channel, I appreciate you so much, I literally been following you for 2 months and I am alone mostly bc of pandemic. I do get to see my granddaughter though. Your videos are awesome and you're very smart, intuitive...loving and I don't look for any other channels on dehydrating bc when I know what I like I stick to it. You are so clear and practical and down to earth I can tell....I love when you say " bc that's how we roll!" My family says that too. Its extremely practical that you provide time stamps. I feel way to close to you to skip thru your videos, I wanna hear all you have to say and ur personality makes me smile like I am in the kitchen with you. I love getting to know you chica! Sounds weird, maybe but like I got excited for you and brought a smile and chuckle to my face about your new knife🤗 bc well, im glad ur happy and I am so similar as it is the simple things that get me happy and well, I think many ppl have lost sight of that in this world today. Blessings and favor on your entire family and everything you touch 🙏🏽🙇🏽♀️
Love this channel. Other homesteading channels are getting freeze dryers. They are too expensive for me. I have a dehydrator and love that your channel specialises in this technique. ❤
Well I'm never NOT going to get one, but yeah, out of my budget, too. And even if I did, it wouldn't be everything I do. I won't be just dehydrating - it'll be canning, etc.
I use a lot of your dehydrating tips and tricks and I appreciate your work so much. It has truly helped me. I haven't made ginger powder yet but I will now. One way I store ginger and turmeric is to grind down as much as possible, keeping the liquid. Then spooning the slurry into mini ice cube trays and freeze. Each little cube is equivalent to 1 tsp fresh ginger.
Since l was raised by parents that he up through the 1930's depression, l was taught: "Make it yourself and throw nothing away!" So glad l stumbled across your channel. Not only ginger juice but ginger powder too!
It took me months to even take my dehydrator out of the box. Now that it's been cleaned and 'primed', it's been running almost non-stop. You've created a monster in me. Now I have to dehydrate all the ginger I've been freezing and can't wait for it to be powdered. I currently have tomatoes (ready for 'sun dried'), mango chunks and jalapenos for powder. Next is GINGER :) I need more jars, oh my goodness.
Just realized l’m totally out of ginger, that l’ve in the past, bought at a store. Time to make my own ginger powder from bulk, dehydrated ginger root. Ty for doing this video Darcy! ❤️❤️
This was almost scary I was making salad dressing with my ginger and was looking at it and thinking what can I do to preserve my ginger from not growi like it is or going rubbery ,and up pops this post ,what timing it was like you were listening to me TY!!!
Bought about 2 pounds of ginger. All of it will be put through the food processor, dehydrated and then part, powdered as a Christmas gift to my neighbor who mentioned that she likes it in her tea. Thanks. I didn't think about using the food processor.
My dehydrator is coming this afternoon... and hubby got ginger but a bit too much. Guess what I'm gonna be doing. Thanks so much for being clear about what and how to do it.
You have opened up a whole new world for me and making good use of my dryer. Drying things I never even thought about re: the ginger and lowering the temperature when drying lemons to retain that beautiful yellow colour. Thankyou for sharing your wisdom and knowledge. 👍👍👍😊😊😊
I absolutely love ginger and use it all the time! Great timing as I have it on my shopping list. Now I can buy lots of it because it is on sale at one of my local markets. Next up for me, homemade ginger candies.
This video is wonderful, I have been peeling and slicing my ginger, never thought to toss it in the food processor! Love the detailed explanations on conditioning and using arrowroot powder!! Thank you!!
Thank you, I love fresh ginger. How you ran it through the processor, made it so easy. I just need to get a good spice grinder to powder it. Growing ginger has been on my list to do, next spring I hope. You do such a great job teaching, I have learned so much from watching.
You are such a know-it-all! And I'm so glad you are and have you to consult! I've learned so much from you. thank you for your dedication to helping those of us who don't-know-enough!
HAHAHA! I'm going to admit...I got a little defensive at the first part of that sentence because I'm so used to the blast....but then you made me laugh. Thank you :D And that's what we're all here to do - lift each other up and help each other do better!
I have ginger growing all over my yard…dug up just a small patch and dried it as I wanted to make my own Marsala chia. Oh my goodness I am swimming in ginger lol….guess what everyone is getting for Christmas! Thankyou so much!!! Just learning to use my new dehydrator! Bless you ❤
P.s. I got the Cosori for Christmas 2020 and just started and I recently ordered and reviewing my grinder you recommended previously in your videos. Love you dude!!!🤎
thanks so much for sharing this. we've been freezing ginger for years in pieces, then grating into whatever we need it for with a microplane. i thought there's got to be a better way to make use of our food dehydrator. your tip with the arrow root if necessary to add is helpful too . can't wait to get to this today - officially subscribed! thanks again :)
Great ideas, thank you! To stop the metal mesh tray from sliding around, I usually put either a clean small towel on the bench or a large T-towel and put the mesh tray on that. It also catches any bits that may escape.
I love this idea. I usually freeze mine and it is so hard to use thus way. So thank you for the great idea. Goes to show you even old dogs can learn new tricks! 😁Thanks!
I came across the video by accident, and am so very glad I did! It was incredibly informative and your explanations are very clear. I cannot wait to try this. ❤️
Hello just came across your video. I just harvested a little over 3 lbs of ginger that I grew in my home garden. I am getting ready to dehydrate some of it and then freeze some. Thank you for sharing. Just subscribed to your channel
Whoops. When you removed the ginger from the dehydrator, you called it garlic. You are so much like me. I pulverize ginger and freeze it in ice cube trays for my immune-booster drink: lemon, ginger, cambuchi , a c vinegar, zest, honey, tart cherry juice. I am going to try your drying method. I do not have a freeze dryer, just a dehydrator., but I think I can manage. It might just take longer. I am glad to learn that I do not have to peel the ginger. I used a spoon to scrape off the peel. It is such a chore. Now I will not do that. Thank you.
Lol “oops” when the ginger powder falls out. I do that aaaaaalllll the time! 😂 i leave a mess behind me that I then have to clean which is worse than the work itself haha. Love your videos, thank you for doing this. ❤❤

U are by far the best source on the web for information about dehydrating, that's why I come to you for answers. Could you please tell me how to make ginger tea from ginger powder. Have a great day. Thanxx
put it in a fine mesh tea strainer along with your tea leaves. It won't dissolve, so you want to do something to keep from having the sediment at the bottom
I have been watching a lot of food preservation channels over the last couple of years. This is definitely one of the best and most useful. Love your content and tutorials. One question: I find that when I put very small pieces like this, or especially leaves, in the dehydrator, they get blown around or off the rack because the fan is blowing from the back. How do you control that?
Don't strip herbs before drying - do it after and it helps. Place a weighted piece of parchment on top. Don't open the machine until the fan has completely stopped. Just a few options.
Thanks for all you share with us. I have just moved from a round style dehydrator to a case style one...thanks to your comparison videos. I went with the Biochef Savannah, not that you compared that one, but your discussions on what to look for were so good, that this was my choice with what we have here in Australia. And I'm loving it so much...so much easier to use in everyway. I would certainly be suggesting a case dryer for anyone who can afford one. And I needed to dry garlic today and went straight to your chanel, knowing you would have a video on there somewhere about it. Again, thanks so much for all that you share...blessings to you.
This is so good to know. Thank you so much for educating me on ginger! I only knew about powdered and the squeeze tube of ginger paste. It is so easy to make your own!!
Wow. This is so awesome! I get so much ginger from my CSA and always wonder what to do with it. Most of the time I throw it in the freezer. So this is perfect 🤗
@@jeanmariemissale5663 CSA stands for community support agriculture. Basically farmer sets aside a share system where people buy a share of the farmers yield for a full or partial season.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I grew it 2 summers ago and then didn't know what to do with it. The taste was amazing but I chopped it then put it in old ice cube trays and added water. Once frozen, I bagged it and there it sits. Not sure how to use it since I didn't think it would be good in tea - not sure why. I drink it as tea when I'm sick! I just thought the heat would make a too spicy tea but now I know I can dry it in slices for tea, powder with arrow root powder for cooking. Can I use arrow root with other things? My dried onion always clumps but tastes so much better than anything I've ever bought - it just clumps really hard.
Very informative. Have been considering via Internet exactly what you detailed here as an addition to my dried canned veggie medley (lazy soup night and/or survival power outages grub). I might have missed something though. I was following it until the end when you pulled out the frozen container. Do you "store" in both jars AND frozen? Or freezing your already dried ginger?

Thank you, Darcy! I dehydrated some ginger but haven't made powder yet. Will do soon. Anxious to taste it. How about turmeric root? Can it be dehydrated and powdered the same way?
Good afternoon! I just have a newbie question, can you over dehydrate your vegetables? Hoping my new dehydrator arrives tomorrow (VERY excited here) and want to get started with your suggestion of doing frozen vegetables.
Candied ginger is tricky, I made it once after making ginger syrup and it worked but next time waa a fail. I do have homemade ginger powder, but best I made yet was a powder combo of ginger/turmeric/red pepper.
Watching this while waiting for my ginger/raspberry leaf/hibiscus/elderberry tea to cool off.I use fresh ginger every day,but not always have the time to wash and grate it. I was wondering how much of the fresh ginger will yield dry.
Ginger doesn't reduce as much as other things - and I'd still use it by taste, but use about 1/2 of what is called for fresh for dried. And use about 1 tsp powdered.
@@ThePurposefulPantry Thank you.I was about to buy the Starwest botanicals brand,and was wondering how much of the fresh organic ginger will make 1 lb dry.Wanted to compare the prices,as the fresh organic one is about 3.99$ a lb. I dehydrate a lot of things for my kids,and currently own 2 dehydrators.Need to put it to work again.
You have to be very careful about the oven because often they can't get low enough in temp to do it well - or not burn. So be careful, prop the door open if you can.
Hi I have been dehydrating some pepper, tomatoes and cucumber for the pass 36 hours and they want get dry I have done everything like they say but they still want get dry. Can I put them in the freezer didn't want to freeze them but I don't know what else to do. Can any one help me?
You need to use a cc appropriate for the size container you're using - and it's not necessary for dehydrated foods if you are completely dryring and storing in an airtight container. Use it if you wish. www.thepurposefulpantry.com/how-to-store-dehydrated-foods/
Pieces 2-3 years, powder until it no longer has any smell/flavor like any other spice. I recommend powdering as much as you need for sa few months to keep it as fresh as possible.

Can you use k)50cc oxygen absorbers for food storage,food will that work good
You need to use a cc appropriate for the size container you're using - and it's not necessary for dehydrated foods if you are completely dryring and storing in an airtight container. Use it if you wish. www.thepurposefulpantry.com/how-to-store-dehydrated-foods/
How long does the dehydrated last in powder or pieces last?
Pieces 2-3 years, powder until it no longer has any smell/flavor like any other spice. I recommend powdering as much as you need for sa few months to keep it as fresh as possible.
You rock! 🤩👍
Where can I get the container you store your arrowroot powder in???????!
Amazon, Target, Walmart, - it's an OXO container.
When you recycle a jar, how do you get the small out of some? I love some jars and they retain smell of original product.
It's usually not the jar but the lid. Soak in vinegar, lay in the sun..
@@ThePurposefulPantry thank you 🙏🏻
