Most herbs may be dried in your dehydrator right on the plant stalk
or stem. Seeds and leaves are easily stripped from the plant when dry. Do not dry
herbs with fruits and vegetables. Store finished product in a cool, dark place to
reduce flavour loss. Do not powder leaves until you are ready to use.
PREPARATION
Leaves and stems should be washed under cold running water to remove any
dust or insects. Remove any dead or discoloured parts. If flowers are to be used
in teas, dry them whole. When seed pods have dried, their outer covering may be
removed by rubbing the seeds between the palms of your hands while blowing on
them to remove the husks. Place seeds on a non-stick Mesh Sheet. Dehydrate
until there is no moisture evident.
DRYING TEMPERATURE
Most herbs should be dehydrated at a temperature of between 60 & 75 degrees C.
