When dehydrating anything, you need to only fill the jars half full and then condition it for a week before consolidating into containers that are full for either short, medium or long term storage. That means you gently invert it and roll it around looking for any evidence of sticking to the sides. Otherwise, you can have mold in any term storage. Condition is a necessary step
Properly dried and stored, it will last for several years. Corn will last for many years. How long depends on your local circumstances and how well you like the corn as it continues to age. Aging of any type of food (perhaps sealed cans of freeze dry are an exception -- I don't know) does result in nutrition loss along with flavor and color changes.
I have 20 bags of corn on the cob. I wonder if I could thaw it then cut it off the cob then dehydrate??? It takes up so much room! Id rather have that space for meats.
If they were frozen corn on the cob, then yes, de-cob it and dehydrate! If they are fresh corn on the cob, you will need to blanch them 1st (cook cobs in boiling water for 5 mins). Let them cool a bit, and then cut kernels from the cob and dehydrate the kernels.
@@Eyes2C. I haven't done corn on the cob yet. I mainly do the kernels. But according to my dehydrator book, if you've already blanched the cobs, you can just shuck the corn, and put the kernels into the freezer so you can save space.
