Equipment

  • Dehydrator
  • Food Processor or High-Powered Blender

Ingredients

  • 10 cups greens salad greens, beet tops, spinach, carrot tops, etc.

Instructions

  • Harvest greens (or forage for wild greens & herbs).
  • Wash (if needed) and dry well.
  • Line dehydrator tray with greens.
  • Dehydrate at 110 degrees (or less) for 3 hours or until greens are crispy and completely dry.
  • Place dried greens into a food processor or high powered blender and process until completely powdered.
  • Store in an airtight container in a cool dark cupboard.

Notes

  • If you don't have a dehydrator, you can use a cookie sheet and dehydrate the greens in your oven with the light on and the door cracked. This method will take longer, so keep checking until greens are completely dry.
  • Alternatively, if your oven has a "warm" feature, this is typically about 100 degrees and can work just as quickly as the dehydrator. 
  • Be sure greens are completely dry before processing as any moisture will cause greens to mold.
  • Store greens in a cool, dark location away from light. You can also buy a dark amber-colored glass jar to prolong the life of your greens.
