How can you make lemon powder and orange powder at home? We have found lemon powder and orange powder have many uses. We use it for cooking, we mix it into drinks and you can also have a whole lemon wedge or orange wedge ready when you need it. We use the Harvestright freeze dryer which removes all of the water (100%). This video shows all of the different ways you can dry it, rehydrate it and store it for whenever you might need it. Includes recipes and how to instructions.
Any of the freeze dryer accessories you see in the video can be found at:

You can use lemon powder and orange powder for so many things! Freeze dried lemons and oranges an also be helpful if you get creative! Add it to your water, make lemon bars, OJ for camping, make your own lemonade packets with Mylar, the list goes on forever. If you are FD'ing these, make sure you are stocked up on parchment paper from our store! Happy FD'ing www.freezedryingsupplies.com

I was wondering about, perhaps, getting some moisture absorbers to put into the mason jar when I have open products like this (or like my homemade stock powder). Do you use them, and do you think they'd be helpful?

Something I have learned from living in Amish country is that the Amish can make a gallon of lemonade from 4 lemons. They lightly boil the lemons first. This increases the amount of juice they get from each lemon. It would be interesting to try that before adding to your Vitamix and freeze drying to see if it increases the amount you get in return.

@ME-rv1pw 2 года назад

@jenniferdieudonne1664 3 года назад

I find that you can avoid the bitter stevia taste if you steep fresh, dried, or freeze-dried stevia leaves in hot water. So when you have that option (as opposed to using stevia powder packets), you may want to steep stevia in boiling water, let it cool, and then use that water for your OJ or lemonade when blending in your blender. (Using stevia this way when making tea or french press coffee is top notch!)

@janicegebauer2842 Год назад

Wondering how it worked out to use the steeped stevia to replace some of the water? I tried steeped stevia with store-bought lemon juice concentrate and found it very sticky …I probably needed to extend the dry time!

@religionisapoison2413 Год назад

With that logic you could just make stevia concentrate right?

@vginnmusa3128 3 года назад

You can also make lemonade with apples instead of sugar or stevia. I think I remember 4 apples to 1/4 lemon from a juicing machine recipe.

@bamasher4384 2 года назад

Your method may actually increase bioavailability of nutrients by utilizing the peel and white pith. The pith, a bioflavonoid has a somewhat bitter taste. If you could not taste the pith or peel in your reconstituted juice then this is brilliant! Hence, fortified fruit juice! I will be carrying my lemonaid packet with me to dine out. I always drink water to avoid sugar and caffeine. This is perfect! Thank you!

I freeze dried fresh stevia leaves. Does great. I have a jar full of powder. Seems to be more intense in flavor so go easy.

@TheTurboman2 5 месяцев назад

Stevia is usually processed with maltodextrin to extend and make it uniform in consistency. Also if you weigh the orange juice before you pour it onto the trays. Then you will know exactly how much water to bring the powder back to original reconstituted state. You can develop a formula for exactly how many tablespoons of powder to the right amount of water.

@cindysebastiani998 2 года назад

After making some fire cider I had a lot of orange, grapefruit and lemon rinds left. Instead of throwing it, I dehydrated it (prior to freeze dryer) and then powdered it. I was surprised at the amount of flavor. And it mixes nicely with water, a little sweetener and that a good drink.

@KatWilton 3 года назад

It looks like having some pith (the white part) with your zest makes the flavor pop. Perhaps instead of using a micro-grater to zest your fruit, use a veggie peeler and allow some of the white to be peeled off, too. Then you can just buzz that in the food processor to get the powder. Also, for the juice - the orange juice, anyway - I'd "zest" the peels first, and THEN use the fruit in the Vitamix. That way, there's less waste. You might also pop a TB of the zest in with the OJ powder to help "pop" the flavor.

@lateshialara9957 3 месяца назад

@TinkerBell-bt6vu 2 месяца назад

That's what we do! We just peel and cut the lemons and throw them in as chunks. Then when they are out of the FD, we quickly throw them in the food processor to make a powder. Then you have such a versatile simple ingredient (lemon powder) that you can use for multiple different recipies. For Lemonaide, we mix 1/2tbsp lemon powder with 1tbsp sugar and 1 cup of water. We either use another fruit powder (strawberry, peach etc or whatever we have on hand) or throw a couple fresh strawberries or pomegranate seeds in the bottom, muddle it to get the flavor, sweetness and chunks from some fresh fruit! We can also use the lemon powder to make a Lemon Pepper seasoning for chicken wings! Or I use the lemon powder and add a bit of water when it calls for "fresh lemon juice." Or we use the lemon powder to add to our pasta sauce for a delicious lemon pasta sauce! But making the Lemon Powder separately (just pure powdered lemon) we leave open a bunch of different possibilities!

I use a fruit peeler to peel thin slices off the skin the finely cut or you can freeze dry then powder from there. I had to use the peeler when my zester went missing and I found that it’s faster and gives me much more zest than when I use the grater.

freeze dried fruit zest? Just started the video and paused immediately to comment. That is BRILLIANT!!! I've tried to do food dehydrator zest and it is ok but it was just a bit off. Before I had a freeze drier and just never gave it a second thought. But the heat of the dehydrator even on low heat long dry time just does something to it that leaches the flavor out. Looking forward to watching this. OK going to un pause now and finish the video. Cheers! Edit finished the video.... Wish the orange zest worked better than it did for you. Disappointing but glad the lemon works better I use lemon zest way more than orange. Oh by the way you made lemonade with some sweetener name I am not familiar with.... I think it is what I know as sugar in the raw or am I mistaken? Have you ever tried Honey lemonade? Honey hot water stir till mixed add lemons. I'd be interested how that would freeze dry.
