Re: Re: Vitamix vs Excaliber dehydrato

[Guest guest]

I don't have a dehydrator yet. I figure I need to grow a lot more veggies

first   Can tie up herbs from the bottom and hang in a dry place.  They will

dry.  But we wouldn't like sprouts dried I'd think.   I think you'd want them

fresh and raw.  I am not sure if you'd ever want to try them.  but I don't

know much about it.  I think I'd like the herbs dried and it would be easy

either way.  The Vitamix would be a lot more useful to you than he

dehydrator.  you can use the oven to dry things too.  Vitamix just does so

many things.  If you have lots of fruit trees, then I am not sure which way to

go as fruit leather is good.    or just dried fruit.  Vitamix can make

icecream and smoothies, etc.

Looks great, Melody! If you had let the leaves get REALLY dry-beyond the

" crunchy " point, they would have made an even finer powder. A coffee bean

grinder is a great way to buzz up herbs (provided you don't use it for coffee

beans too-can transfer flavor of coffee to herb, and herb to coffee-I keep a

grinder just for herbs, seeds, nuts, etc) BUT...if you have a larger amount of

leaves and do them in the Vitamix, it will be a lovely fine powder.

what kind of trays? Sunflower seeds, chia and flax would need soil or a medium

right? Would the regular seed growing trays work for those?

stevia powder before it's quite different than using the store products which

are mixed with other agents. Green stevia should be allowed to settle after

mixing into say, iced tea or other beverage or it will taste pretty awful. Very

tiny amounts will suffice. in smoothies it should be blended in with your other

ingredients.
