Pantry Magic: Making and Using Fruit and Vegetable Powders

These days more and more people are exploring old fashioned methods of preserving food that our grandparents and great grandparents knew and used daily. One of those ways was dehydrating foods for long term storage. Pantry Magic: Making and Using Fruit and Vegetable Powders is a basic introduction to dehydrating fresh fruits and vegetables for home cooks. One of the advantages of dehydrating and powdering fruits and vegetables is that they are shelf stable, lightweight and concentrated, perfect for campers, backpackers, long term storage and making your own seasonings. In addition, fruit and vegetable powders can be used in soapmaking, cosmetics, herbal remedies and much, much more. Cooks can bring enhanced flavor and extra nutrition without adding bulk to their dishes. A little vegetable powder in your next spaghetti sauce can add some extra vegetables that no one will notice. Once you start using fruit and vegetable powders you will wonder how you ever cooked without them. This is one of those little how-to books that you will want to keep and share with friends and neighbors.
