What's the difference between freeze-drying and dehydrating? Quite a bit actually! So which one is better? BOTH!
See why I love both freeze-drying and dehydrating as I put five foods to the test and compare the differences.

@nothingmuch2023 2 года назад

Dehydrating herbs tends to give them a flavor of hay, due to an enzyme called chlorophyllase. To circumvent that, you can heat the herbs for 5 seconds at a temperature of 40°C / 104°F to break down that enzyme, and you will preserve the natural flavor better. Blanching is a good way of doing this. A secondary benefit of blanching or freezing, is that it breaks the cell structure, and allows water to leave the cells much more readily. This gives you a faster dehydration. I am unfamiliar with freeze-drying, so I'll leave that to the experts above!

@jenjeff316 Год назад

I've run into the same thing with the taste. Although sometimes blanching before isn't possible or very difficult depending on what is going on at the moment.

@GotNoGoat Год назад

What an absolute gem of a fact. Thanks for that info!

@Alien2799 Год назад

I guess another option would be to put the herbs in an oven for 5 sec? Would it work?

@osamedennadi6309 11 месяцев назад

Doesn't blanching take out the water soluble vitamins, further depleting the nutritional value?

@keithtauber4153 Год назад

I make my own real pumpkin pie spice powder for flavoring my coffee in a dehydrator. I actually use the pie filling mix I use to make pumpkin pie and then pour that onto a wax paper sheet and dehydrate it. It takes a long time to fully dehydrate it though. I make it so it snaps and breaks. If it bends at all, I keep dehydrating it. Then I blend it up into a powder and it lasts a long time and adds a lot of flavor to coffee. I bet freeze drying it would be sweet too.

I loved my freeze dryer. Unfortunately it only worked for 2 months and after a month of doing a lot of “testing” as per the Harvest Right techs, I had to send it back for repair. It’s been gone since February 19. Harvest Right will pay for the shipping to have it repaired BUT ONLY IF YOU LIVE IN THE USA. I live in Canada so it’s cost me a fortune to send it back for repair and will cost me a fortune for it to be returned. I’m hopeful that whenever I get it back, that I’ll have many years of trouble free use. If it breaks again, I don’t think I’ll send it back. It’s just too expensive. I wished I had done more research prior to buying it. I’m not sure that would have made the purchase knowing what I now know. Honestly, until Harvest Right gets all the bugs worked out, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone outside the USA.

@kellycunningham5144 2 года назад

As far as I know, there are no other companies that make home freeze dryers.

One of the critical items not addressed in this lovely video was nutritional information regarding each processor.

Great video. Dehydrating slowly heats and "cooks" the food which destroys some of the nutrients whereas freeze drying retains more / most of the nutrients. $2,000-$4,000 for a freeze dryer is about 10 times as expensive compared to dehydrating. Maybe worthwhile for large families and serious preppers but still large expense and what happens if the machine dies after a few years?

I grew up hiking with Mountain House freeze dried meals when they were newish and not exactly impressive. As a young adult I came across (the only time I saw this) a freeze-dried rib eye steak in a pouch from MH on a fireline. Add water to reconstitute, toss in the ashes and embers, and voila! I tell you this from 40 yrs. distance, that was one of the best steaks I can remember. Of course, exhaustion and privation prime the taste buds, but our usual fare was C-rations from the Korean war, so comparison helped too. I enjoyed the lesson, and I'm glad home freeze drying is now possible! 😄

We Love our Harvest Right Freeze Dryer. We freeze dry almost every day. During the summer we freeze dry everything that we harvest from our large garden and our small orchard. During the winter we freeze dry meat. We barter some of our fruits and vegetables for meat that is hormone free from my wife’s 17K acre ranch in Montana. We live in north central Washington state where we can grow many varieties of vegetables and fruits. When freeze drying our greens, I always cook them first and then simply add water and reheat. They taste garden fresh. We have to buy Kiwi peel and slice before freeze drying. We HIGHLY recommend Harvest Right Freeze Dryer for preserving food.

Now I'm thinking of all the different styles of bread crumbs and croutons I can make! When we first got our HR I got all of the frozen fruit that was taking up valuable space in my freezer, freeze dried it and turned it all into powder. It's great for flavoring oatmeal, on ice cream, or blended into a smoothy. Though the HR is expensive, future food security is so worth it!

You can rehydrate bread by wrapping it in a damp paper towel, and wrap that in something that won't burn, like foil or w.e., and then pop it in the toaster oven, or regular oven, on a low temp. The temp and time you can experiment with to see whatever works best for the consistency you want. There are other ways to do it as well. Basically the idea is you want the bread in a relatively heated damp environment.

This was very interesting Carolyn and I appreciated you doing this a lot. I personally would like to see celery and broccoli we seem to use both a lot, canning options not so much so I have been freezing each of them a lot to use in stews and Oriental cooking we enjoy that a lot, another maybe cabbage and bell peppers. Very good video as usual

I love these videos too. Roseredhomested does a lot of these kinds if videos with comparisons.

Broccoli and peppers are great FD. Broccoli needs to be blanched. Ask me how I know 😂. For me I find it best to use the broccoli in a casserole or soup. Also cabbage is good but again blanching helps.

@@peggyprickett7550 Thanks! I probably wouldn’t have thought to blanch anything. It makes sense.

I have dehydrated celery before and it worked great.That came out best out of the things I dehydrated.

The small Harvest Right unit is $2,395! I'm going to wait for the price to come down. Someone below said their unit broke down after 2 months of use. I would be very upset if my 2 grand machine malfunctioned in any way.

If your FD breaks, do NOT wait longer than 1 month to file a complaint with the BBB. They have you do tests, but they are not responsive unless you file a complaint. Nathan is the only employee worth his weight in gold at that company.

@3:10 i love how You say "temperatures" as "tempuhchures" rather than "tempruhchures" like most people from the US i've heard. its a fascinating way to pronounce that word, for me as a phonetics geek :)

Just wondering…. Could we use the bread to make French toast by rehydrating with our egg/milk mixture????

I never really knew what freeze drying was about. You did an amazing comparison. Good video

Try toasting both breads and add butter. Oh my word w live it.

@bethsands7665 2 года назад

Nice informative and useful information comparing new and exciting cooking options . Wow, if I had to choose.... the freeze dried food looks more essential for cooking needs and the nutrient value is locked in. Thank you ! Yes, they are both useful new kitchen inventions which is cool and they are quite different ...so maybe everyone needs both ?!
