NUTS
To dry nuts, first shell and rinse them with warm water.
Pat dry and spread out on trays. Most nuts will take
approximately 20 to 30 hours to dehydrate and they should
be allowed to dehydrate until brittle.
Allow them to cool after rehydrating. Any nuts that will not
be consumed within a few days should be frozen to ensure
freshness. Allow them to defrost before eating.
HERBS AND FLOWERS
To dry herbs and flowers, first rinse and pat dry. Remove
any dead, mushy or discolored portions, leaving the stem
intact. Spread herbs or flowers on tray and allow to dehy-
drate for about 2 to 7 hours, depending on their type and
size. Remove from tray and allow to cool when drying is
complete. Remove the leaves or buds from stem and break
them apart. Crush if desired.
For best results, pick flowers after the rising sun evaporates
the morning dew and before the cool evening mist settles on
