What is Dehydrating Today?
In the first image are some of my pansy flowers I use in soaps, shampoo, vinegar, teas, and infused oils and some echinacea leaves I use to make a tincture for colds and flus
Next I have two trays of sprouted organic hard white wheat berries. After soaking for 24 hours in filtered rain water and vinegar, I then dry them to grind into flour or for "cream of wheat" cereal.
Then we have some rose petals and lavender flowers. I use both for soaps, shampoos, infused oils, and vinegar and the rose petals I also use in teas. I use the fresh rose petals in jams and fruit butters as well.
By the way, please check out my step-by-step post on how to vacuum seal your dried herbs, flowers, and other dried goodies without electricity:

I haven't tried drying flowers and herbs yet, I mostly dry peppers and apple slices. This year, if I get a decent crop of onions, I'm going to slice and dry a bunch of them. I have one of those cheap Ronco dryers. They're nothing fancy, but they work well enough. I never thought about sprouting and drying grains. I might have to try that.
Don't dry onions in the house...I know this from personal experience...LOL! I have the same as Heidi, but
I used to have a Ronco type and it worked well also.
Yeah, I was planning on drying them out in the shed. :-)
