I would also like to know more about how you use dehydrated veggies. Last year I let my jalapeños ripen all the way to red, then I smoked them on a little smoker and dehydrated them. They make the BEST salsa. This morning I harvested scads of cilantro before it bolted. Not sure what I’m going to do with it all. Salsa for sure, but I also concocted a smoothie with pear nectar, a peeled lime, about 3 inches of English cucumber, a hank of cilantro, fresh spinach, 2 T hemp hearts, and 1/4 cup of kefir. It was delicious!

I’ll also make some cilantro tabbouleh, and I guess I’ll can some salsa while the cilantro is still so yummy fresh.
