Been encapsulating beef liver and other supplements ever since i got my FD. Very helpful. I'd recommend not using those beets as they are lower in quality and the cans may be lined with BPA. Best to go organic or even better buy fresh organic beets and truly make the best of the best.
I love fresh organic beets out of the garden. I peel and slice them in the sink to avoid the red juice getting over anything and staining it. They do not have a dirt taste to me when eaten raw. I do not cook them. That's when the dirt taste happens. I love them raw. Just had one yesterday. Very filling.
I’m definitely interested in more veggie capsule videos! I filled up a bunch of essential oils by hand in capsules when I went through cancer. Thank you for the Capsule-It recommendation. I appreciate you!
Single ingredient powders = baby food. We used freeze dried powders to introduce foods one at a time to the grandbabies, and no allergies even though there were food allergies in the parents. Made our own “pouches”
I would love to see how to dry tumeric and ginger. I am getting my freeze dryer tomorrow and looking forward to projects like this. I do agree with some of the other post, using organic is better. The inexpensive brand of beets you were using is not the healthiest there is. 😊
Hey Brian. Thank you so much for this information. I work in cancer research and you are 100% correct about beets lol !! My beets are taking forever to grow as well. I do have a question about candy in the freeze dryer. My top and bottom shelf do no process as well as the two middle shelves. Do you know why or have info on this. Thanks for all your preservation videos. I watch them all !! Plan to order some of your supplies
I have also experienced this and I'm not sure the exact reason. Probably something g to do with the cylinder shape and vacuum pressure. You may be able to search the fb or mewe groups for an answer.
I capsuled wheatgrass powder. Since 1oz of wheatgrass is equivelant to 2-3 lbs of veggies the capsule is pretty poweful since the FD takes out the moisture.
Bloody Hell Mate great vid and I have been learning a lot about FD. In Australia the Harvest FD is expensive and I tried to buy the Avid Armor Ultra Series Model USV32 Chamber Vacuum Sealer, well they only sell to the USA and Canada which is a bum for us over here, so I will keep learning and try to find other one that is compatible. Massive Big Thanks for all the information, catch you the Mate.
I actually love the taste and texture of beets, I grow quite a few in my garden. I made freeze dried beet powder this year from raw beets. I grated, then blended with a bit of water, and put it in the freeze drier. Do you know if the health benefits are different with raw verses cooked beets? Cooked beets would definitely be easier to blend.
@tamir1461 - That's what I did before. It's been a while, but I will do it again. I also mixed the powder with other freeze dried fruits and veggies to make smoothies later. The added beets also sweetened it up.
I'm very interested in making powdered veggie/fruit capsules from FDd stuff. Other than what you'd up in a jar for immediate consumption, do you think these sealed in mylar would last years?
Powdered FDed foods have the best chance for long term storage if done properly. I do like doing my powders in jars, so I can see the powder. Just my preference.
What setting did u have the freeze dryer on? Can u FD buttermilk & whole milk? I have some n the regular freezer I would like to FD. Thanks for your videos & answering these questions. Your subscriber.
Question..should I cook my garden beets first which will destroy a lot of the nutrients from heating or can I do it raw? I was thinking of pressing the juice keeping the pulp mixing it back in, and then dry. So which way is the best?
If you are just after beet powder, I would keep them raw, cut to a smaller size chopped or blended smooth. Then freeze dry and powder. Make sure you use the juice as well.
You can't fit the powder of one whole beet into a capsule. Youd need to take about 20+ for the equivalence of one small beet. But taken daily, you likely dont need to eat an entire beet every day. Make sure you get high quality organic beets as the beets he used are really low quality/cheapy and you dont want to skimp on the health benefits by buying a low quality product
Another suggestion to try for your health is cranberries. I used to be a nurse in long term care. We used cranberry capsules to reduce incident if urinary tract infections, particularly in female residents. It really made a difference. For those who couldn't swallow a capsule, we opened it into a bit of apple sauce and mixed up. Worked well.
I just stumbled upon your channel a few days ago. Great content, but I think it's misleading for you to say you retired at 40. With the number of videos you've produced (Kudos for that) and the number of subscribers and views you have, you're obviously not retired, you've just changed your career to that of a you-tuber.

No doubt about that. I really only used crummy Wal mart brand to show that it can be done.
Dude. You eat beef liver and harp about canned beets? You know what a liver does right?
i never see a freeze dryer in my life. i love this channel.
When using garden fresh beets, should they be cooked first?
Raw is best
Great idea…I haven’t used my freeze dryer yet that sounds like a great project. Many blissings ❤

Can't wait until I get my freeze dryer, love the capsule idea.
Oh great idea. I already capsule other herbs. This would be a great way to get beets into my hubby who doesn't love the flavor.
I’m definitely interested in more veggie capsule videos! I filled up a bunch of essential oils by hand in capsules when I went through cancer. Thank you for the Capsule-It recommendation. I appreciate you!
Very interested in the ginger and turmeric. Thank you for sharing your capsule maker link. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Very interested 👏👏👏
yeah, that's really neat! Never knew you could buy something like that capsule tool.
Single ingredient powders = baby food. We used freeze dried powders to introduce foods one at a time to the grandbabies, and no allergies even though there were food allergies in the parents. Made our own “pouches”
That's a cool way to do it!
Another great video Brian. Thank you so much, Navy Mark...
This is a great idea! Beets are a super food!
Definitely!
Great idea!!
I've got to get a capsulator... or whatever it's called. Wow!
I would love to see how to dry tumeric and ginger. I am getting my freeze dryer tomorrow and looking forward to projects like this.
I do agree with some of the other post, using organic is better. The inexpensive brand of beets you were using is not the healthiest there is. 😊
Not going to argue that. My garden beets were way slow this year.
This was fabulous.

I'd love to see tumeric or ginger made also.
They are coming soon
اوکی❤❤❤❤❤
This is Brilliant !!! thanks!

wow, that's pretty cool! I have been experimenting with capsules and greens as well

what else can i use other than a food processor to turn the beets into powder ?
I've been wanting to venture into capsules of freeze dried organ meat, super nutrient dense
What about beets from the garden instead of cans? How should they be prepped for freeze drying?
Idk what this is but I think I need it
I actually love the taste and texture of beets, I grow quite a few in my garden. I made freeze dried beet powder this year from raw beets. I grated, then blended with a bit of water, and put it in the freeze drier. Do you know if the health benefits are different with raw verses cooked beets? Cooked beets would definitely be easier to blend.
So you used raw beets. Do you think I should juice the beets and then FD that?
@tamir1461 - That's what I did before. It's been a while, but I will do it again. I also mixed the powder with other freeze dried fruits and veggies to make smoothies later. The added beets also sweetened it up.
Did you remove the parchment paper?
Yes it will peel right off the contents

What setting did u have the freeze dryer on? Can u FD buttermilk & whole milk? I have some n the regular freezer I would like to FD. Thanks for your videos & answering these questions. Your subscriber.
Setting? You should only have to press start and freeze dry. The older machines had to be manually set
Can you leave the stackers on the trays in the fd? Aren't they the same material as the dividers?
They are food grade and bpa free, so technically yes.
dumb question because I don't know. Beet greens (grown plants) are edible?
Yes!
Question..should I cook my garden beets first which will destroy a lot of the nutrients from heating or can I do it raw? I was thinking of pressing the juice keeping the pulp mixing it back in, and then dry. So which way is the best?
If you are just after beet powder, I would keep them raw, cut to a smaller size chopped or blended smooth. Then freeze dry and powder. Make sure you use the juice as well.
Can u FD buttermilk & whole milk? I just put in a order of supplies to u. from your company. Your subscriber.
I can't figure out how to purchase Avid UV 32 with your discount.
promo code at checkout LIVELIFESIMPLE
What is the shelf life of the capsules? The powder will absorb some moisture at some point. Will there be any issue after that?
Unless your home is extremely humid, I would imagine these would be fine for 2-3 years inside a capsule and stored in a sealed container
Very interested, but unable to reach the link for HERBAL AFFAIR capsule maker.
درود. کپسول درست کردن کاری ندارد. یک آسیاب میخوابی و یک کپسول پر کن دستی بگیر
Where to find the huge food funnel? I'm not finding it on your shopping list

Which size 0:13 Freeze dryer did you use with the beets
Small pro model
How many beets fit into one capsule?
You can't fit the powder of one whole beet into a capsule. Youd need to take about 20+ for the equivalence of one small beet.
But taken daily, you likely dont need to eat an entire beet every day.
Make sure you get high quality organic beets as the beets he used are really low quality/cheapy and you dont want to skimp on the health benefits by buying a low quality product

Can u sell the capsals then
It probably will depend on your state's laws
Not sure if adding the juice is that beneficial since it's high in sodium.
Have you freeze dried sliced raw beets? If so how did they turn out? Fresh is much better than canned.
No question home grown are better
"no beet taste" (until you belch).
so for about $12 you made 500 pills where if you bought it they can cost about $20 to get 60 pills...well i know how im gonna get more organ meats
Portlandia episode.... "It's Beets".
... Do you.... eat... the capsule? Or do you.... use the contents of the capsule?
Swallow the capsule. Its made of gelatin or other disolvable ingredients
What ? Kilowatt meter
Is there beet burps

Conclusion: No beet taste😂
Try eating pickled beets, you might find yourself eating them every day.
I agree, they are tasty, but extremely high in sugar
The beets should be cooked, not raw? Canned beets would be cooked.
You forgot to tell us your phone number! hehehe
