Unless you garden, since it takes so many tomatoes to make a small amount of tomato powder, it may be more cost effective to purchase it. I recommend Augason Farms for dehydrated and freeze-dried products. They are generally cheaper at Wal-Mart.

First time making tomato powder (fall '23). I used a mandoline and it worked well- but will try the 'chunk' method this year to see if the flavor is even better. I put mine in jars and used a lid vacuum sealer. Since it was my first time I stored my jars of powder in the freezer... but I prob got it dry enough to store right in the pantry. I'll try adding herbs this year as one of your viewers suggested! Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the info. I have been wondering about dehydrating tomatoes for tomato juice. I am going to try this!
You are so welcome! Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you so much I thought on doing that but did not know how to start👍👍🌹
You're very welcome. I'm glad you found it helpful!
I love this method 💕 I have watched a number of videos on this topic and I will be using this one! TYFS 🥰
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful!
I appreciate this video. I pretty much knew most of how to do the dehydrating but have never made the tomato powder from it. It was nice to know that if I don't get them completely dry and I'm not able to recognize that at the time, they are still fixable. Nice to see that. I am dehydrating as we speak. I am dehydrating two 3 gallon buckets of tomatoes in my oven. It's a lot of tomatoes but I know it won't be much powder. II seasoned this batch with things like fresh thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, some I added chives to, and salted lightly and some I put Italian seasoning. I think I am using mine for seasonings like for roasts or baked potatoes with sour cream. Maybe test a few foods with it.
Wow, that is a lot of tomatoes! I love the idea of adding spices to the tomato powder. I'd love to hear how this goes for you.
Thank you I have never done much with my extra tomatoes accept give them away so I learned how to make and freeze spaghetti sauce, and today Im trying to dehydrate the rest. I had never thought about tomato powder so I can have tomatoe paste or sauce for later, Im totally excited. Thank you
My apologies for the delayed response. Were you able to try it? How did it work out for you?
♥ the video. I just killed my dehydrator, but will definitely try this when I replace it!
Thanks! With an upcoming cross country move and limited space regarding what I'm going to take, I'll have to see if I can manage to fit my dehydrator in. Keeping my fingers crossed! Since it's so hard to buy canning stuff, that is my priority, since it's still fairly easy to buy dehydrators.
Hi thanks for the Tutorial
Thanks for sharing your ideas in how to make tomato powder
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching.
thank you fir sharing 😘
It is so nice and good narration indeed. thanks.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
thank you
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching! Here are the two dehydrators I personally use and recommend: amzn.to/3EJrS3i and amzn.to/3nUxX6f .
I want to try this.
I hope you do! I find dehydrating to be one of the easier things. A bit time consuming to cut everything up, and the dehydrator has to run awhile, but it's pretty hands off while running. If you have any questions, let me know!
Thanks fo all your full informative info,just found your channel and have subscribed ,I’m bidding on a dehydrator on eBay so cant wait to start my journey with your help 🙏🏽
katt, glad to hear you're working on getting a dehydrator! I hope to publish more videos in the new year, so stay tuned.
👍🏻 Thank you.
You're welcome!
Liked and subscribed, great video! Can you dehydrate garlic and make garlic powder?
Hi Tikki, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Yes, you can indeed dehydrate garlic and make your own garlic powder. This is easy to do if your local Costco or other store carries large bags or tubs or peeled garlic. Otherwise, if you have the patience for it, you can buy garlic and peel it yourself. No need to chop up the garlic before dehydrating. Dehydrate until it's completely dry, then powder it in a coffee grinder. NOTE: When dehydrating garlic and onions, you might want to put the dehydrator outside or in the garage as the smell can be pretty overwhelming. After a few hours you can move the dehydrator back inside and while you may smell garlic, it will be more at the level as if you were cooking garlic, and won't knock you out. ;)
@@StockingMyPantry it didn't occur to me that the smell of dehydrating garlic would be that powerful! Thanks for the tip!
I have not tried to do tomato powder, may be next year!
If you have an abundance of tomatoes, it's a great way to preserve some.
Does it dehydrate faster if I plug my dehydrator outside in the sun
I'd advise checking your manual for your dehydrator. Some say not to use outside. I'm not sure it would make a big difference. I do know that if the environment is warm and/or dry, things dehydrate faster compared to if it's cold and/or humid.
Hello ! Are they rubbery after 24 hours ?
What is the taste of the ground peppers taste ? Thanks
Hi Joe John, my apologies for the delayed response. No, they weren't rubbery after 24 hours. I'm not sure about the taste of ground peppers, because I haven't tried that. (But now I want to, lol.) The sauce made from the tomato powder had a good flavor. However, considering the huge amount of tomatoes required for the small yield, I probably wouldn't make tomato powder unless I had a huge number of tomatoes I needed to preserve.
So you dont need to skin them to make the powder? I want to make tomato paste from the powder... Will the skin as a powder desolve good enough to make paste?
Hi Rozanna, great question! I didn't have any problem with the skin dissolving to make paste. I think the reason is that it's not just skin, and of course it's powdered well. Interestingly enough, I've known people that have dehydrated JUST the skin and made powder from it. This was when people did something like skinned tomatoes for canning, and then dehydrated the skins.
@@StockingMyPantry Thank you so much for your reply. It eases my mind alot!!!
You're very welcome! BTW, whenever I dehydrate or can something new, I start with a small batch to see how I like it. I recommend doing that the first time you try this, so you can see if you like the results before doing a ton.
@@StockingMyPantry Thats a good idea, I'll do that first. Thank You
