Dehydrating borlotti beans
« on: September 22, 2012, 07:56 »
Having just acquired a Dehydrator and harvested a good crop of Borlotti Beans I cannot find any information of how to dry the beans. Either in this site , google etc. Do I just dry them straight away , boil them first ? . Any help would be appreciated.

Hi and welcome. :)

This would indicate to me that you would just put them in the dehydrator as they are..

After all, all you are doing with your dehydrator is expediting the drying process.

I just plonk them in a tray in the conservatory and let the gentle heat do the work.  :)

If the beans are still 'fresh' the dehydrator will quickly dry them out for storage.  Or, finish up drying them for storage, which is often what I have to do since I'm pressed for space here.

You'll need to check them often to find the right dryness so you don't waste power over-drying them.
