Dehydrating Soup Beans


Recommended Posts

Yeah, Canned Nerd, on the video she showed a close up of her dehydrated beans and several of them had split open. Seems to be the norm for dehydrating them.

 

I'm going to cook up a bunch of pintos this weekend and dehydrate them. I'll let y'all know how it works out! :)

Just my own thoughts....if they've cracked open, perhaps you're dehydrating at too high of a temperature? I don't dehydrate over 130-135 because I don't want to cook, I want to dehydrate. I haven't made beef jerky, so I don't know what temp is best for them. It takes longer at 130+/- but they truly dehydrate and don't cook.

Hmmm, I goofed, I think I overcooked the kidney beans (I was babysitting and sort of forgot they were on the stove simmering :blush: ) they were really soft, and as they're dehydrating, not just cracking, but bursting, and falling apart. I am thinking they will still be good for at the very least thickening soups with the powdery bits, and those that are remaining whole or just split can be for my bagged meals.

 

I'll be more careful with the next batch I do.
