Dehydrating frozen fruits and veggies is sooo easy! They're already cut, washed, and blanched and ready to go. I just open the package and dump them onto the trays frozen. They thaw pretty quickly in the dehydrator. I recently tried doing stir fry veggies. They turned out great! Just avoid the mixes with baby corn. The baby corn cobs take forever to dry and they don't rehydrate nicely at all. They get rubbery, yet mushy. Yuck! TIP- if you're dehydrating frozen fruits like strawberries that release a lot of juice when they thaw, put them on the bottom so they don't drip on other foods, and put a fruit roll tray in the very bottom to catch all the drips.

You can prevent the corn from darkening by lowering the temperature on your dehydrator a little. It's the heat caramelizing the sugars that causes it to darken. It will take a little longer to dehydrate though.

I have been dehydrating for 6 years running now. The pantry space it saves is incredible. I puréed a 35 pound blue Hubbard squash and made chips I throw into soups, sauces, stews. I was able to fit that entire 35 pound squash into 1 quart jar. I do the same with pumpkin and other squashes.

You make a difference

I go camping every chance I get and I dehydrate nearly everything for space saving and saving on weight, including chicken both raw and cooked. I make some lovely meals that I start soaking to rehydrate while we go on an adventure, hike or swim & then when back at camp it doesn’t take long to whip thing up into a lovely meal.

Yes! Dog snack video please. Thank you for bringing me so much joy in learning how to cook nutritious meals for my family and I. So grateful for you.

I actually learned this method using frozen veggies on RedRose‘s YT channel but when you mentioned not discarding the water, I had to laugh because I do this too! (What’s that saying again… Great minds think alike? 😂) I’ve been doing the same thing when heating up vegetables and even saving pasta water. I will keep and freeze it for later. Just in case there’s no potable water, at least I have that lol!

Another way to use dehydrated vegetables is to grind them to a powder in a blender. I did that with tomatoes then rehydrated the powder to the consistency of tomato sauce or paste depending on what I needed. My son and daughter-in-love dehydrate and grind vegetables and herbs then mix into sour cream or yogurt to make amazing dips of whatever flavors you like. But using frozen vegetables is completely new to me and I love the idea. My days of extreme vegetable chopping are over. Thanks!

Yes, please! Share more doggie snacks or food recipes. Thank you Miss Mary for sharing this dehydrator video! Love, PJ 🙏 ❤️

Darcy at the purposeful pantry is another great resource on canning and dehydrating and she's just released a new book.

I got an electric dehydrator and did a load of frozen vegetables, but the temp kept varying too much so I sent it back. Now I just dehydrate during the winter on racks next to my wood stove. It works a charm. Lots of veggies for very little money or time and no extra electric bill - especially with our electric rates having tripled here.

When you have a quart jar of dehydrated veggies, what measurement of dry equates to rehydrated/cooked? I love your gentle spirit and informative videos

Hi Mary, I used my Hamilton beach dehydrator for the first time last night for a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and frozen corn. I’m so pleased. Then this morning I found your video on frozen veggies. Enjoy your videos and been watching since 2020. God Bless and have a wonderful day.

I love Darcy's channel. I also started with dehydrated frozen veggies. I didn't rinse them or thaw them before putting them in. Was so easy. Celery was another great one as I never end up using it all before it goes bad. Now, I have a good stock for the future and kept the trimmings for future bone broth. I love dehydrating because it's passive work. After you slice it all up or in this case, pour the bag out, the machine does the rest. I have grape tomatoes and celery in my dehydrator now. Carrots are next. Darcy does show how to condition your food before storing.

Hi from the UK. Thank you for y,our videos they are very helpful as dehydration is not common proctice ihere. With food and energy prices rocketing I started buying frozen veg to add to my stores when covid hit. One HUGE suggestion I have to offer here (from experience) is once the veg is defrosted blot them GENTLY using paper towels or cloth.before putting them in the dehydrator. This removes an incredible amount of water and so saves time and energy . This works especially well with frozen sliced mushrooms. it cut dehydration time by nearly 50%. Many thanks again.

Hi Mary I'm definitely interested in doggy snacks. We also have a large dog (Angel) who loves string beans. All my best to you and your family!! Hugs from granny!

Thank you for this. I have a dehydrator but I've never used it. I think I'll try mixed vegetables for my first go. Mary, you are such a blessing to this world. God bless!

Hi Mary, this is a great thing to do to frozen vegetables before they get freezer burn. I've saved many a bag of vegetables by dehydrating them.

I absolutely love this channel! You go over each step so well...I'm actually dehydrating a lot right now from the garden...wonderful information for those first-timers, too! Thank you for all you do, it is quite the ministry! Great channel and wonderful information! Thank you! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)

I love that book, The Ultimate Dehydrator Cookbook. Darcy is also fantastic. Great tips in here. Thank you so much! Green peas do not rehydrate well for me so I will definitely try the way you did Lima beans and corn. As for storage, I seal in half gallon jars or Mylar bags but I also keep a pint jar of the commonly used ones on a kitchen shelf for quick uses. That prevents opening the large jars as often. I do use the moisture retardant packs in my dehydrated goods as it is very humid here and they are extremely beneficial. Very helpful video, sweet friend.

IM SOLD! I've been on the fence about rehydration...the space saving is INCREDIBLE. THANKS SO MUCH MARY! Hugs 2 everyone 🤗 ❤

Mary, I am new to dehydrating. I have happily and successfully dehydrated some herbs and potatoes. I just wanted to say that I hung onto your every word. This is an excellent video especially for us beginners. Thank you for giving us all the details from dehydrating to rehydrating and storage. I particularly appreciate your recommendations for the best reference and cookbooks. You deserve an A+! Patricia

Homemade dog snacks would be awesome, Mary! And thank you for this video, was very timely for me, as I just got a new dehydrator!!

Love this !

I love dehydrating frozen onions. So much less smelly. (Thanks to Darcy for mentioning frozen veggies)

Awesome! Thanks Mary!

Hi Mary! I can’t wait to get my own dehydrator to make backpacking meals myself. In the meantime, all I have is an oven. Would you be willing to do a tutorial on dehydrating in the oven? I’ve also heard one can make beef jerky in the oven as well. Love from Tyler, Tx. 😊

Thank you, Mary. This was so very helpful.

That was wonderful, Mary. I loved that you rehydrated/cooked some so we could see how they turned out. Hard to imagine how ‘normal’ they appear when you’re looking at them in their dry, hard, shriveled form 🤣

Thank you sweet Mary! ❤ I, too, do a lot of dehydrating. It's so easy and fun to do.

Tks for sharing this method with us

So very helpful! Thank you.

Love your videos 💝 I always learn so much from you. 💝

This answered many of my questions on dehydrating! Thank you Mary! You are a blessing.

I loved dehydrating mixed frozen vegetables.

Thank you for this video.

thank you for this video...it was great :)

Excellent video. Answered a lot of questions I had on dehydration.

I've been following both you & Dar Cy @Purposeful Pantry for quite awhile. Darcy says to condition dehydrated foods for 5 days, shaking the jar st least once daily & looking for moisture. My favorite dehydrated food from frozen is broccoli. I toss a handful into pasta when I'm cookingit. It is delicious with MSc n cheese. I usually have a couple gallon jars of dehydrated broccoli on hand. I used it when I made broccoli cheddar cheese soup & it was delicious.

Very interesting; thack you "sweet teacher" and God bless!

So glad I found this channel I've been binge watching for hours ☺

Hi Mary thanks for the sharing information on Dehydrating frozen vegetables very helpful info ✨👍🏾

Thank you so much for this video. I have been dehydrating the past few months but really didn’t know how the rehydration would really turn out. You answered so many questions for me. I will have a lot more confidence dehydrating and rehydrating my food now. You’re so awesome. My husband enjoys your videos too - he doesn’t really cooks but feels like he learns something when he listens with me.

Such s good r esource for dehydrating! Thanks for all your help!❣️❣️❣️

Mary thank you so much for your videos. You give us the information we can all utilize. Blessings to you and your family! Cindy

I like the way your up to date

I love veggie soups. I need a dehydrator!

My doggie loves dried sweet potatoes! Yes please add more for doggo, thanks Mary!

thank you for sharing the dehydrator info and books. YES! I'D LOVE TO SEE SOME DOG SNACKS.

Thanks for sharing. As far as a humid climate and dehydrating, Rain Country is an excellent source. Getting ready for work.

I was gifted a dehydrator last Wednesday and I’m so happy this video popped up on my feed. Thank you for the great info!

I would love to see videos on pet treats! I have learned so much from you.

I love Darcy she's another one i follow and i just bought her book

Also, I use a brake bleeder to remove air from my jars, with a food saver attachment hose. Only because my food saver is older and still serviceable, and didn't come with the attachment you use. :)

Hi Mary ❤ thank you Mary you are wonderful💖 shalom❤

Thank you so much for this video, Mary. You answered so many questions for us. We are going to increase the amount we dehydrate going forward. Have a blessed Sunday.

Powdering the dehydrated mixed veggies makes a flavor booster fiber booster

So happy you did this with FROZEN vegs! I've got a 5# bag from the food shelf taking up too much freezer space, and I'm afraid of freezer burn, tbh. I use the small bags a lot, but that big bag came in a box that I had no choice over.

Darcy says that if you know you are going to use some dried veggies the next day, put the amount you need in a jar with a bunch of water and let it soak overnight in your fridge. by time you need it, it should be ready. Haven't tried that, but it is an option. And yes, would love some dog treat recipes.

I dehydrate uncooked sweet potatoes cut into thin slices. My dog likes them now after put this nose up a few times. He likes Greenies. Now he loves them, as well as I do when I want something crunchy.

Thanks Mary!

Oh that sweet pup!! I have a choc Lab. Mine has to watch his weight as well😊mine likes carrots too! Great video!

Sorry Mary, did not watch whole video when posed question about oven. So anxious to watch it now! You are an awesome, saving angel sharing so much with those of us anxious to learn. Many blessings and thank you!🤗🥰❤️

Awesome video Mary! I’ve got lots of frozen vegetables that are taking up a lot of freezer space. Thank you 😊

Hello Mary, My first time to bake two loaves of NO KNEAD Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread by using Sprouted Whole Wheat Spelt Flour. I followed your recipe and baked for 30 minutes instead of 40 min. Very delicious, Mary. I continue to make organic Sauerkraut and even share it with my neighbors and loved it. Fermentation of cherry, Roma and large tomatoes with Basil has been rewarding. Thank you very much Mary . Please take care and be safe always and kind regards to your family.

❤ This information thanks 😊 Dog treats would be awesome!

So excited about this Mary! I have so many frozen veggies, so will definitely be dehydrating them! Would love to go over homemade pet treats (with sourdough starter?) Baby carrots can be a very good treat for dogs, my Lab loves them and sugar free popsicles, lol

Hiya Mary. Luv u so much :) I wanted to share that I use silical gel with fresh flowers; for dry flower projects. Cheers!

Would love homemade dog snacks recipes. My Isle of Imal Terrier "Rusty" thinks he is to get a treat every time he goes out to do his business and comes running back in like a bullet to get a treat. He is a very spoiled rescue dog that is loved so much. Thank you for all your wonderful videos. You have taught me so much.

YES Mary you should cook the corn and the mixed vegetables and they are great

Great content, as usual Mary, my only concern is for folks not having enough clean water to use upon SHTF. 😘

We love eating dehydrated corn as a snack. I have used dehydrated mixed vegetables in my soups and stews. Delicious 😋.

Your wonderful it’s nice to know someone thinks like i do . I do find dehydrating is a Challenge,

very smart idea in this time of energy saving at all costs ……thank you .💐i won’t play with the sealing jars and will use bags to seal by portions

Oh, sweet Mary, I just love how you shop at Aldi! This shop is here in Europe for years allready ! I know it since my childhood. So from the far, far Texas, you give me à feeling of beeing home 💕

2nd comment, lol What a good way to use up store bought canned veggies as well, that will make a lot of space on my shelves!

Yes Mary, my dogs just asked you to make snacks for them. They're a little junky too. Thanks

Hello Mary, love watching your posts and I have tried several of the techniques you teach, wonderful thank you. I would love for you to do some healthful doggy treat recipes please. One of my dogs is prone to skin conditions which may flare up if we're not careful with her food.

Oh Mary! Wow, what a fantastic video. Thank you so much.. You have me so excited to try this. You have completely eliminated any fears I had about this process.

I can't wait to get my own dehydrator!

Dehydrated dog snacks would be great. My furbaby has diabetes and needs more nutritious snacks that are low in carbs. I'm headed to the grocery store now to buy some frozen veggies 😋 Thank you for the wonderful lessons in this video!

I don't have dogs anymore, but when I had them. I had to keep one of my dogs on slimmer diet, so I was giving her sliced cucumbers and she loved them. My neighbor gave cucumbers to her dogs too, and they loved it as well.

Thanks for this. I was hooked on the idea of using frozen vegetables And saving freezer space. You nearly lost credibility when you suggested the sweetcorn might rehydrate well eventually.... Then showed it actually did 🤣... Going to have to get a vacuum lid sealing device now after this. Loved this video x

Good morning Mary. 💕🤜🏻🤛🏻

Lost my first response but need to report I’m looking forward to doing this. They will Tavel easier too. I’ve got room and jars. Thanks.

I use or have a themo not only for my insulin but I use it for a to go lunch hot or cold works great it kept it real Hot its so nice.

Loved this. Please do one on dehydrating tomatoes. I had a project and they got moldy, so not sur if the pieces were too big, temp too low, etc. I did it in a machine for like 16hrs so I thought that was enough. Thanks and God bless

Frozen! Brilliant. That saves so much time. Thanks for the demo. Im watching because I rescue guinea pigs and they love dried veggies, but the little pet bags are so expensive. And the bulk bags that are usually advertised as soup blends always contain onions, which is very very bad for guinea pigs. They should never have onion. Zero. With your example hopefully I can produce something easily that the little ones will love.

Puréed pumpkin is also a good low cal treat for pups. We stuff the pumpkin into a small marrow bone (after the marrow is gone)

I live at the base of Hill Country of Texas as well. Out of 127 Aldi's in Texas I do not see even one remotely close to me. Uhg! Anyway, I have a lot of catching up to do on your teachings. Ready, set, learn! 👍

Sweet Mary, Ebay claims to have that beautiful kettle. BTW my Grandmother taught me to put a spoon in glass cups when pouring in boiling water.😄

Your videos are all incredible, Mary. Thanks for being so faithful to try to help us. You have so much information, it's hard to know where to start. Should I stop buying canned veggies and start going to dehydrated instead?

I made pork jerky for my fur kids, and I am partaking too I can't stay out of it, and it turned out beautifully.

I love dehydrating, Rose Red Homestead did what she called Fast Beans, I love that and will be doing it because they make fast Refried Beans and I love those. I'm not doing canning but Dehydrating is my thing. I also follow Darcy at Purposeful Pantry. This is my second view of this video, it has so much information, Thank you

My Malamutes adored green beans, happily snacking on any green beans, wax beans or Romano beans that had gotten too big and woody to eat (I didn't try saving bean seed then, as when I have tried, the rest of the plant stopped producing).

I always cook my frozen vegetables before using them. They never seem like they've been cooked enough just heating them up. I don't do that with cauliflower or broccoli though as they would be mush. I am a follower of The Purposeful Panty and have dehydrated mixed vegetables and if not putting them in soup or stews I always cook them just like I would the frozen veggies. I never used the lid so that is a great tip to know. Thanks Mary! I'm so glad I found your channel.

would love to see a video on homemade dog snacks. Love all your videos

Great video. I need more room in the freezer esp with hunting season around the corner.

Hi Mary, I love your channel. 🌷. I’m not sure that your frozen mix is particularly Mexican. “Guarnición” means “side dish” in Spanish, so it can be a variety of foods. In Argentina we use a similar mix of corn, peas, chopped carrots, potatoes and eggs mixed with mayonnaise and served cold which we call “Russian Salad” - I doubt it is particularly Russian, but it’s a popular way of encouraging kids to eat veggies. 😘
