STOP Canning Tomatoes-- Do THIS Instead!

How long will it last in jars?

Watching you cut tomatoes scares the hell out of me. You really need to do a couple videos in knife skills 😉

There is still a lot of moisture in those. If the “powder” clumps, it’s not fully dehydrated. I usually take it one step further. Grind it up, then throw it back into the dehydrator. Moisture in food breeds bacteria!

I do this as well however, I love my canned tomatoes for the ease

I just ordered my dehydrator yesterday. I cannot wait to get some of these done!

I am wondering how much energy it will take per weight! . . anybody know about it?

My tomato powder doesn't rehydrate very well. It says lumpy. Any suggestions?

Can this be done by mixing yellow and red tomatoes

That is amazing.

Thank you. I never knew 😮

I am so glad you came back on my site. You disappeared for a very long time and your videos are so informative. Thank you for sharing.

2nd time - I thought i would be able to grind the toms to a powder - my blender didn't do it so i tried the grinder and they came out like rubbery bits so I have put some in a jar and some tin a bag to place in the freezer - what do you think - I would really love to get a powder. Also, they stick a lot on my metal shelves - so I have had to measure parchment for each shelf for the 3rd batch - oh the troubles of domestics!

Could you dehydrate frozen tomatoes

The dehydrator did not quite finish the job the first time i used it - so i left them out in the sun today!

Love this idea!!

You need a freeze dryer. Dehydrating only preserves about 50% of nutrients. Freeze drying is over 90 :) I do this with our freeze dryer and agree - powder is amazing.

I also froze whole tomatoes, then added them to soups and stews.

I use an old child's paintbrush to get the powder from the sides and lid of my blender so that you don't waste a bit

Wonder if those flies go in there 😅

The tomato stuck on the side of the blender was obviously had too much moisture. I would’ve dehydrated the powder for a while.
