Why Dehydrate?
If you want to gain complete control over your food and take advantage of fruits and vegetables in season and on sale, then preserving them by dehydrating is the way to go!
Dehydrating is one of the most cost-effective ways to preserve the harvest (whether it’s from your backyard or the farmer’s market).
And, with the right processes and techniques, it can be both nutritious and delicious!
Fill your shelves with meals you can rehydrate in minutes, healthy snacks for the family, and seasonings great for pizzas, pasta, and more.
With the added bonus of knowing every single ingredient that went in…
…and all at a fraction of the price you’d spend at the store!
Dehydrated backpacking meals and dehydrated fruits will rack up your grocery bill fast.
Or, you can buy fruit and foods in season and on sale to dehydrate and preserve yourself!
Lastly, dehydrating helps you build your food security so no matter what’s going on in the world, your shelves are still full of delicious, healthy options.
Enjoy peace of mind you can see and taste!
Meet Your Instructor:
Darcy Baldwin
Darcy Baldwin began dehydrating food almost 20 years ago as a newly married mom of young children. After researching different food preservation methods, she settled on the most cost-effective option – dehydrating. She was able to extend her tight grocery budget and stock her pantry with healthy, delicious meals the family loved.
This came in handy when the Baldwins realized that their youngest son had severe food texture issues. Dehydrating healthy ingredients, like greens, into powders, spices, and supplements became a way to sneak nutrition into the family’s meals and snacks. Friends didn’t take long to ask her to share her secrets! Interest was so great that she started The Purposeful Pantry, loved and followed by tens of thousands, to help others learn dehydrating tips, techniques, and recipes.
By the end of this class, you’ll be ready to:
Preserve high-quality food at low costs. With dehydration, you can preserve food when you find it on sale at the grocery or farmer’s market in forms that you can then use in your kitchen.
Enhance mealtime experiences. Master delicious, safe, effective, and practical techniques to integrate into your cooking repertoire.
Nourish your family without the “ick” factor. Add wholesome and delicious spice blends, out-of-the-box ingredients, and more without worrying that your family will turn up their noses at strange textures and flavors.
Reduce waste. Utilize foods that you would normally throw away by dehydrating them into a form that you can use in your kitchen.
