I just dehydrated my kale and put it all on a cookie sheet. I then crushed it all with my hands. I found a piece of stem in their and tossed it. It’s easier that way, for me anyway. Then, I put it in a grinder and made my powder. It’s lovely…..

I bought organic strawberries and did the vinegar wash....lots of dirt ended up in the bottom of the sink......I wash all fruit and I made a vinegar spray for bananas , who knows what is sprayed on them..... The kale stems, veggies scraps and onion ends, asparagus hard stems etc go into my instant pot and I made a great veggie broth... Also I cook cauliflower leaves and broccoli leaves......just like kale and I also dehydrate them for green powder....today I picked large beet leaves and will dehydrate them along with lettuce, celery, cabbage, carrots and peppers.....great add on to soups and better then buying salt laden bouillon.

I look forward to learning about the amazing variety of foods I can dehydrate and all the storage advice. I will be viewing all of your videos over the next few weeks. I was told recently that vinegar neutralizes any toxic sprays used in the production. So I will use this method before drying all my produce. It's wonderful to read all the extra advice and tips from the comments section too. You have a band of loyal followers, including me now :) Cheers from Down Under :)

I bought a couple bunches each of collards and kale. I had never dehydrated them before so I just wash them thoroughly, cut off the stems, chopped them into small pieces and put them on my dehydrator. BUT, I thought, why not just check out a few videos about it. Guess who I found? Hmm. I decided to rescue the greens and soaked them in the vinegar and water solution, grabbed a fluffy towel and now they’re back in the dehydrator. THANKS for tips. The stems are in little containers and in the freezer!!! Good idea! Have you ever thought about putting your powder in empty capsules? Seems like it could be a good thing for those who want to get their five servings while working.

Measure it by keeping a separate tray to start the amount you want to measure (or weigh it), dry it (and measure or weigh it), powder (measure or weight it). But generally 1/3-1/4 C dried = 1 C fresh = 1 TB powdered.

Do you think that means we need to wipe down the entire dehydrator on the inside before using the dehydrator for anything else? TIA

@ThePurposefulPantry

You can, but you have to be careful about the temp because you don't want to bake them. Keep it at the lowest possible temperature, keep the door cracked to allow heat and moisture to escape. If you're doing it for kale chips for snacking (seasoned), the temp is fine. But for making green powder, you really do need that low temp to hold the nutrients.

A device that spins salad to help remove the moisture after washing so that you don't store leaves wet. Works for a lot of things in the kitchen!

You don’t have to blanch kale?

Not for dehydrating, no. Read the post for the full reason: www.thepurposefulpantry.com/homemade-green-powder/

Some foods will lose their great color if you don't blanch. So it's your choice. Try doing it both ways.

Ugh! Kale, while dehydrating, smells like the dog had diarrhea somewhere in the house. I moved my dehydrator out into the garage, much to my woodworking husband’s chagrin. THEN, my kale came out crispy and delicious! So happy! THEN, I conditioned for a few days before opening a jar and checking them out. Not done. 15 hours and still not done. 🤪😫🥺😩. Separating leaves from stems and tossing them back in again. Not sure I will do kale again. Kale 1, Amy 0.

Don't get discouraged. Stems can take longer - but they are worth it with the powder you get!

Why Waste freezer space, can't powder, it is a valid form of food preservation for anyone. And it makes kale useable in so much more than just as a grimy green in a dish.

There is no way for me to add a new comment, and I just found your channel. If 16 cups raw is turned into 2.5 cups powder, how much powder would you need to eat to equal a "serving" of greens (say one cup). My brain cannot handle the math!

I am really surprised you don't recommend organic vegetables. Why go to this effort to get good nutrition when you are concentrating all those chemicals into the final product.

Because we all do the best we can, Nancy. You are welcome to use organic if you have that option.
