I mean, another valid use would be to load them into a jar with an equal amount of sugar and give that a while to soak. Makes something called Oleo Saccharum, which was an old way to get more life out of citruses.

U can use it in soups to give it brightness, I use the peels in Portuguese rice pudding and other desserts. U could also make candles out of it or a deodorizer, sprinkle baking soda and lemon peel powder on the carpets for at least 15 min than vacuum it up. Ur house will smell SO good for months. I use cinnamon during the winter. Also the vacuum will
Smell of the lemon or cinnamon

I love your videos. Can you make a short or long form explaining how to care for the freeze dryer itself? I'm really interested in getting one but am slightly unsure of how much care one requires

[alexanderattaie]

I think amazing is a bit of a stretch. That powder has all the white pith in it. It must be crazy bitter

Oranges 🍊, grapefruits, banana skins… so many ideas!.. wow! 🤩

[Rocketskibee]

This is so good! We need that freeze dryer

i recommend to try making a marmalade, reserve half of the jam, make fruit leather with other half, then freeze dry the two different halves. make candied citrus peel then freeze dry that.

You should freeze dry the peels too if you remove the pith it would make a good bitter type candy if you add a little sugar it might even be better 🤷‍♂️

Next time you make a cleaner with lemon peel powder, you can use citric acid dissolved in water instead of vinegar. Vinegar is acetic acid dissolved in water, and it has a “funky“ smell to it.

Citric acid is just as effective at cleaning and sanitizing, but will smell better. It’s also naturally found in the lemon juice. you’ll have to do a little bit of math to know how much citric acid to add to how much water, so the acidity is just as strong.

I don’t actually recommend using lemon juice though, because lemon juice contains a small amount of sugars and other natural chemicals which will leave your surfaces sticky.

I'm no professional, but I was going to be a chemist before I had to drop out of college for health reasons. It's very interesting all the tricks you can do with the natural chemicals in plants.

How do whole or half cooked eggs work in the freeze dryer?
Maybe even quarter cut eggs.. 🤔🤔

[Surly_Mermaid]

I am so relieved you didn't discard that zest

[silverbryophyta]

If you take the white part off the peels it'll taste good lol

[katherinemolinari]

How would you use the lemon Pells in pickles wouldn't the white pith make the pickles bitter?
