Thanks for showing us how to do this, even us oldies are learning to do food storage. Never too late to learn! Showing how these carrots look after rehydrating them was very good, as many of us have never done any food drying, as a newbie I am very grateful for your excellent method of teaching. You are an excellent teacher.
several years ago i was at the farmers market and one farmer had the most beautiful carrots with more and fresh tops that i have ever seen. I told her i was buying them for the tops, i took them home, dehydrated them and used them all that winter like parsley in some of my veggies casseroles. Of course now I have the chickens who will probably get some of them!
Thank you for making these videos for those of us who cannot afford a freeze dryer. I would also like to appreciate the fact that you speed up the mundane parts of the preparation process instead of stretching it out. And the fact that you get straight to the point and give us valuable content right away the whole time.
WHAT?!!! I LOVE that chopper/mandolin! Gonna have to look into getting one for my daughter for her birthday along with a dehydrating book. She's really getting into it! Thanks for a great video!
It's just been a week, but I'm deydrating every day / night. And I keep going to your videos for everything, including refresher courses. You are very much appreciated.
@@ThePurposefulPantry what takes your videos to the next level is showing us HOW to use the finished product; in this video, I especially appreciate you showing us the rehydration process!! I can't tell you how much of a difference doing this extra step makes. (P.S. do you have a video on dehydrated mirepoix and how to rehydrate for use?)
I am a very new subscriber and so happy I found you. I just received my dehydrator yesterday. I to am binge watching and will start my first batch tomorrow. You are such a wonderful teacher I feel I have been taught well. I'll be 65 in Oct ( you can always teach a dog new tricks ,just might take me a little longer). Thank you so much !
Thank you Darcy, a friend recommended your channel to me and I've learned so much! Favorites so far are tomato chips, apples, and frozen peas and carrots 😊
I've come to really enjoy your Saturday afternoon dehydrating videos and look forward to them. That doesn't mean I'm demanding them, ha! Thanks, and take care
I have 5 lbs. of organic carrots and beets coming in Monday and I plan to dehydrate. So I was glad to see this. On a side note, yesterday I dehydrated precooked (pressure) shredded chicken and then dehydrated at 165°. The shreds seem to dehydrate pretty fast! The problem I have is that the shreds are so crispy they deflate the FoodSaver bags! 😲. I lost numerous bags. I didn't figure it out right away. I had to put the shredded chicken in little brown Duro 2 bags then into FoodSaver bags.
You are a Godsend! Thank you for doing all the different carrot varieties! Also, please assume that as a newbie beginner, I can take all the help I can get, including safe and efficient ways to wash vegetables. I’m getting into preparing larger batches at some points, hence small scale tools and cooking methods may need to be optimized for efficiency. I’m so grateful I found your channel!
Thank you Darcy 😊 Carrots will be my first dehydrating project this week. I'm going to make a big batch of shreds. To me the intimidating part of dehydrating is conditioning...and getting it right...no mold ! Thank you for your awesome videos.
Excellent video! I enjoyed it. I did carrots and forgot to blanch. I used them and I didn’t have any problem with them. I now blanch them, but if you forget, I really didn’t think it was that bad. Thanks Darcy! I’m going to shred them next
Wow! I did not expect them to bounce back like that! Looks like every time I’ve used dried veggies in the past I did not allow them to soak long enough. I’ll be dehydrating more soon after watching this. Thank you!
I have just prepared my carrots to dehydrate...My first try! Thanks so much, you have great teaching skills...everything so well explained and demonstrated and with very good visuals to see the end Produkt.
Ill just shred all of them in my food prosessor i have a disc for that . Thank you for you teachings . I have sudscribed so i wont miss anything😊 y0ou are fabulous!😊❤
Just recently got into dehydrated foods for our family and doggies. It is only week 2 and loving my Corsiri! Not to mention it’s hurricane season and I’ve been through loosing all our frozen food😢. I can’t wait to go through your older videos and learn lots more!! Thank you❤️
Thank you very much for this video. I haven't had a lot of success RE-hydrating carrots, so haven't done them in a long time. Mine are always still leathery, even though it seemed I've done everything right. After seeing your results, I'm going to try again.
Do you know whether dehydrated carrots can be powdered and then used to make flour for pasta? As in spinach pasta. Seems it would be a great way to do this pasta. Never mind!!! You answered my question already. Yay!!
Thank you. So happy I found your video. Learnt lots of stuff ... the carrot tops, did not know. RE storage, I started to change over my storage jars from ordinary glass to Miron Glass for extended storage with little or no loss of nutritional value. I mainly store herbs but thinking of venturing into veg and fruit
Thank you, Darcy. I’m about to finish harvesting my first crop of carrots. I’m going to try dehydrate some for sure…plus the tops to add to green powder. Thank you also for the dehydrating fridge magnets that arrived here (in Australia) a few days ago. 😊
I realized while you were doing the blanch/nonblanch comparison why I don't: most of my family aren't fans of cooked carrots. I have been just drying plain to powder for in mirepoix powder and other veggie powder mixes. It just never "hit" me why I do it that way. Thanks for the shreds idea. I have been wanting to make carrot cake muffin in a mug but prepping carrots in the morning is a pain! Now I know better!
My first bed gave me 3 dehydrators grated carrots and 19 pints! This bed was carrots that didn’t germinate last September so emagine my suprise when February came and I was going out to clean my beds and saw little carrot greens 😁 but my big mistake was not letting my grated carrots to dry on a paper towel 2 it was raining and the moisture in the air didn’t do my dehydrated carrots worth a flip so 3 dehydrators full I had to just dump them as they just didn’t look right. Will try again with this next bed once it’s ready next month and if still rainy with a lot of humidity in air I am just going to slice them and try again.

Thank you for your videos. I bought a dehydrator a few years ago but haven’t used it much. I’m glad I found your channel. I don’t understand buying food at the grocery store like shredded carrots and already shredded cabbage to dehydrate. I have a large garden and orchard and I have a need to dehydrate for food storage. But just buying it at the grocery store to dehydrate I don’t get.
Not all of have the ability to have large gardens (apartment dwellers, people in rentals, people with disabilities who can't physically do it). So if we want shelf-stable foods to have in our pantry for lean times, for times of crisis (think 2020 or job loss), or any other reasons, purchasing from the store IS one of our only options - specially if farmer's markets are not available. Sometimes, using frozen foods to store is easier because all the prep work is done (all cutting and blanching). I buy preshredded carrots and cabbage on clearance to stock up because the prep work is done and it's much cheaper.
I have recently subscribed to your channel and it is awesome, so much useful information. Thank you for your contribution to food preparation, processing and storage. I'm looking forward to learning more from your channel.
Thank you, Darcy. I love to follow your channel. I am learning to do long-term food storage with my Cosori dehydrator. For me, blaching is the way to go. Just now, for the first time doing raw carrots. Could you please reiterate how long you set the timer for 6 full trays on the carrots? Temperature is at 125*. For how many hours? Thank you again. :)
I don't set it for done. I set it so that it doesn't go off ;) Don't go by time, go by whether produce is dry. If you want to set it for six hours to remind yourself to check it, or you want to set it for 18 - it doesn't matter. Veg can take anywhere from 4 hours (depending on how you prepped it) to 12-18 hours.
Muchas gracias 🙏 por este fantástico video lleno de valiosa información, me encanta y estoy comenzando , y me emociona mucho ver las varias opciones que nos muestra, 🙏🙏🙏👍, me fascina todos sus videos
Hello I am a first timer here, Just getting into dehydrating and came across your video. I have a question with regards to rehydrating carrot coins,; when makin soup is it best to rehydrate carrots separately first or can they be added directly into the soup pot without rehydration ?
I enjoyed your video I haven’t watched many this is my first of yours I just wanted you to know that I enjoyed it and I appreciate you taking the time to show us these things I am very excited because I felt like the shredded carrots was such a great idea I just have a question do you have to rehydrate the shredded carrots before you use them in baking and other recipes thank you I am blind and sometimes make mistakes thank you
I bought a 10lb bag of carrots, cut them into medallions, blanched, then dehydrated them. I wasn't too happy with how they turned into nuggets that I couldn't break. I wonder if they are dry in the centers. I do really like the shredded approach though. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
They are - you can cut one in half to check, but if they have shriveled up that way and are hard and plink when you drop them, they are done. Condition to check yourself if you are concerned.
@@ThePurposefulPantry Thank you, I'm still conditioning them and so far so good. I'm fairly new to dehydrating. I'll crack one open in a few days. I'm just doing up another 10bls of carrots right now, usually I do more freeing, and going to do the shreds, I also think they'll be handier for soups.
Hi, thanks the informative video. New to dehydrating vegetables. Do you have to rehydrate vegetables before cooking and for how how long? Can it be used without rehydrating?
It isn't for long-term - only for as much as you need for 3-6 months, store whole to keep it as 'fresh' as possible. Just like spices/herbs from the store, things begin to lose their flavor and color and nutrients after a short-term.
Thanks for showing us how to do this, even us oldies are learning to do food storage. Never too late to learn!

I go back and rewatch, too! Watching this again as I’m currently dehydrating the chips
I use a stainless kitchen sink scrubbie as a perfect minimal carrot cleaner/peeler. It works great with very little carrot waste.
Genius idea!! Thanks for sharing! (:
Brilliant!!
Perfect! I use a manicure nail brush to clean corn silks off now I have a carrot cleaner

No- almost all moisture absorbers can be recharged - no O2 can.

No

Hello I am a first timer here, Just getting into dehydrating and came across your video. I have a question with regards to rehydrating carrot coins,; when makin soup is it best to rehydrate carrots separately first or can they be added directly into the soup pot without rehydration ?
If it has time to simmer in the soup and rehydrate, it's fine.

I looked but didn't find. Do you have a video on DH broccoli? I was just given a huge bag and would love to dehydrate all of it...
No, but I do have a blog post (I haven't recorded all of my posts, yet. www.thepurposefulpantry.com/how-to-dehydrate-broccoli/
Question: storing in a jar air sucked out and an O2 absorber stores in a dark location help with storage longevity.
It's an insurance policy - as I said, you may get longer, but optimal storage (meaning peak) is about 18 mos.
Do you condition in the oven?
You can - I just didn't bother because it was so little.
Can i put them inside millar bag or in mason jar with oxigen absorber for long term
If that's your preference.
I use my mixer to shed carrots and I don’t blanch before dehydrating

For baking, yes. For soups and casseroles, no need.
Some vacuum sealers can be used on large mouth jars. Would this be ok for long term storage?
Yes - most can do large and regular mouth with the proper adapters.

Can I only set temp below 115 to keep emzines alive?
Correct - Going above 125F isn't going to ruin it, but if you cook the food anyway - it's going to happen in the cooking process, too. It's up to you.
I don't see your meals in a jar connection above??? Would love to see it - have lots of carrots and more ideas is always a good idea.

There is always a link in the description to my Amazon store where I list all the tools I use: www.amazon.com/shop/thepurposefulpantry
Hi Darcy , do i have to condition the carrots before i make power?? And then do i have to place it in a warm oven before storing? Thanks Mary T.
It is suggested - specially if you are new to dehydrating. But no, you don't HAVE to. And yes, condition the powder after for best storage.
So how long does it take to rehydrate the shreds to says for cheddar broccoli soup ? just curious you may have said . thanks
If you're throwing it into soup - not long at all - but it needs time to cook so it's not chewy.

ua-cam.com/video/YM5WeN2i1GM/v-deo.htmlsi=IkHrCljdLN5bqPT6
i think i will do all into Powder in things how long does the powder last for long term??
It isn't for long-term - only for as much as you need for 3-6 months, store whole to keep it as 'fresh' as possible. Just like spices/herbs from the store, things begin to lose their flavor and color and nutrients after a short-term.
