RE: Roll That Beautiful Bean Footage

in #homesteading7 years ago

Great info, I did my first ever garden this year, and although I've had good results, I intend on implementing some of your techniques next year.

Have you ever used a food dryer? If so how does it compare to canning

Sort:  

Awesome! Glad to hear showing our garden has helped to inspire. I have a dehydrator but mainly use it for jerky and herb drying.

Dehydrating tends to concentrate the flavors of the product being dried. Canning tends to lose texture but much of the jar is water or syrup. With dehydrating storage can be easier but you have to be more aware of the moisture levels of the storage where as the canning jars just go on the shelf.

Appreciate the input
