From a member in the Dehydrating Tips & Tricks group on FB: " An easy way to take clumpy powder out of the jar is to microwave (without the metal lid and ring) 30 seconds at a time, it does soften and you can scoop it out of the jar." -Alina

I keep my onion powder in the fridge, its a game changer, no more clumps!

[guppy]

Store in the fridge or freezer. I do this with ALL my spices, NEVER clumps 😉

[nigelleyland]

As others below, I've yet to start powdering having bought a blender a day ago and working towards my first blend of mashed potatoe, to be folloewed by mashed carrot and mashed turnip. So this as many other of your vids is super usefull. many thasnks.

I dehydrated for the last couple years but have never powdered anything. But seeing this is fortuitous because we grew lots of peppers that we will powder.
Thank you for a great video!♥️👍😎🌶

[shfrederick]

This was very helpful. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the Arrowroot tip. I normally do powder on demand otherwise it will clump. We have so much moisture in the air that makes it impossible to stay dry long. Have a wonderful day!

Ant thoughts of ever doing a video on dry mix hummus? I think this would be great for holidays.

[danaphillips]

I just saw a freezer tip, I think I try that one first.

I just jar mine and grind them up when I’m cooking. I just add all the dried veggies and herbs together into my mortar and pestle or my grinder. No need to consume anymore caking agents. If you use a mortar crushing your dehydrated vegetable and herbs in with some oil is amazing! Besides that I like to use the bits and pieces sometimes in my soups and then I don’t have to chop vegetables and also I don’t like having to spend a bunch of time grinding spices and then putting them into more sanitary jars. My husband and I are vegetarians and I spend a lot of time shopping vegetables. Love the work you do! I’m looking forward to an amazing tomato harvest rn. Yay!

I dehydrate the powder again, with a second tray on top of the first so the powered is not dispersed in the fan.

[joseviljover]

In Philippines we mix rice grains into the powder to avoid clumping.👍👍

[JosannGibson]

What i do when i notice clumps, I spread it on a baking tray pop it in the oven for about 5 - 10 minutes the most take it out, let cool completely then i just put it back in the container
No more clumps
I do this with onion garlic to spices and herbs
I never exceeds 10 minutes

[victorialeonard]

Hi Darcy, loved this video. Can you tell me how to store my oxygen and moisture absorber packs? Thanks, Vicki

[clmierau]

These are all good tips. I don’t powder for this very reason.

[nancymoe]

Does the Arrowroot powder have a flavor that you can tell? Thank you for the tips. Great info.!

[marydoughty]
