Wow.

I hadn't grasped how small stuff really is when dehydrated. I also hadn't understood the difference between home dried stuff and some of the tasteless stuff I had as a child.

Dehydrating happily now. I already think I should have got a bigger dehydrator I wondered if anyone has sourced spray on lemon and/or the oxygen remover thingies? I am currently using a pastry brush to brush lemon as I read a number of people saying dunking in lemon has some negative results.

I sometimes dunk stuff in lemon juice and water and it all seems OK.  Don't limit yourself to that though.  Fruit can be dunked in juice - apple rings dunked in fresh orange juice are really good and I've used soy sauce on veg as well

If its just the antioxidant effect you want, you can use vitamin C tablets dissolved in water

You can easily make your own spray on lemon juice - just get a clean sprayer and use a strainer to pour in bottled lemon juice. The strainer takes out any tiny bits that might clog the spritzer nozzle.

I don't use lemon on my foods as I get it cut and into the dryer quickly. Others swear by it. Use whatever works best for you.

I do blanch broccoli and cauli for a few minutes, but not cabbage.

Thanks for the recommendation. Once we move I will get down to trying stuff out and see what will suit us.

I do like a new craft!
