How do you find dried lemon zest? I’ve always used the lemons I have since it’s easy and the peel usually gets thrown away/composted anyway. However, this is fresh. If this is necessary, do you think refrigerating it will work?
Michele…would you want to share how you make your mixes….I had not thougth of this before…thanks
You can make your own citrus zest by peeling and slicing (or just using a zester tool). If you zest the lemon over a piece of waxed paper, just leave the paper in an out of the way place for a day or two to dry out. Top of the fridge is nice and warm. When you can crumble the peels, put the crumbles in a glass jar. I use a lot of lemon juice and zest. I zest the lemon before juicing it and toss the pith into the compost. I could pay for a Blendtec with the money I’ve saved in 40 years of baking.
Honeyville Farms sells dried mixed vegetables. http://shop.honeyville.com/ They are non-GMO and some of their products are organic as well. Their prices are very competitive & they have a $4.95 flat shipping rate. You can save more by buying the big #10 cans and repackaging the contents into canning jars with an oxygen absorber pack to seal the jars. I use their products about daily. My 9-yr-old daughter snacks on the freeze-dried products after school instead of chips & crackers. I use their products in my cooking all the time. They are a lot like Thrive. You could price shop the difference. I think they would be equally healthy. Honeyville Farms does not add extra sodium, preservatives, etc. to their products. Check the ingredient lists. You’ll be amazed. It’s just 100% real food. Here’s a link to the freeze-dried mixed vegetables: http://shop.honeyville.com/… If you live near one of their brick-n-mortar stores go in & take a look. You can often find different sales than with their online store.
