Dehydrating Frozen Veggies

So if you're going to start anywhere for prepping, besides picking up one or two extras of the staples that your family needs and uses all of the time, I would say that the next easiest thing to do is dehydrate food. Now, the easiest thing to dehydrate is by far frozen vegetables. Here is the process:

1. Find some frozen vegetables (preferably when they are on sale, which for me is less than $1 a bag.)
2. Get the dehydrator out and ready- it should be turned on to 135.
3. Open up a bag of frozen vegetables, dump them out on the dehydrator tray, and spread them out.
4. Place the trays in the dehydrator, close it up, and wait for them to be done (for me it usually takes over night.) According to dehydrate2store.com- which is one of my favorite sites and youtube channels, you know your vegetables are dry enough when you have taken 95% of the water out, and they will sound like plastic when you drop them on the counter or on the top of the dehydrator.



There you go! Easy peasy (no pun intended).

Happy Prepping!
