I really enjoyed this video. So many are long and so boring I never finish watching! I dehydrate foods some, but your tip about the canvas was priceless! I really enjoyed this video. Keep up the great work!!

Good thing about dehydrating onions I found is that you don't have any flies in your house!

I am not a raw-foodie-freak, but I like to eat raw whenever I can. Blanching destroys enzymes which is something our bodies need. But, blanching helps maintain the color of the food and some say the flavour too. Blanching also speeds up the dehydration process in some cases. I use an excalibur dehydrator and often follow the directions for living foods. I have successfully dehydrated raw carrots without blanching, and when I rehydrated them, the texture was very close to raw carrots.

Gave you thumbs up for the great info you provide here. Thank you so very much. I don´t understand how people can give you 4 TD. Added you to my favorites. Keep up the good work :)

@pipeheadOR I don't know about the unblanched carrots but the book says dehydrated fruits and vegetables will keep for 6 to 12 months. A lot of people claim they will keep for up to 30 years. I haven't been dehydrating that long but the stuff I dehydrated 3 years ago is still fine.

@imstillworkin Thanks. It they are not blanched how long would the carrots be good for?? And...how long do the blanched/dehydrated carrot keep for??
Did you ever get the celery to grow? : ) I have some 'stumps' in water now and they have put out new growth and some roots. I blanched my celery for a minute per another youtuber's video. Hope it turns out okay.

@ssamorgan2044 The celery stumps eventually rotted. I think it was too much water. Next time I'll put them in very wet soil.

@redscynder You can use the plastic canvas to double the amount of food you can dehydrate in a tray too. See my video "Apples in my Food Storage".
