Hey Kristy, great Idea, and I might try it, although I don’t eat a lot of rice because it spikes my blood sugars so badly.
I have another thought for you try taking a rolling pin and rolling the dehydrated rice lumps and they should crumble down finer. The reason I say that, is I have limited storage space, and if I can get more in a jar or whatever its better.
I have dried local berries and used them later, works great, but you do have to dry them further than leathery stage, like hard marble stage, so they take a bit longer to reconstitute but they work just fine.
You are a genius Eva!!!
Thank you for taking the time to make the video. What a great idea!
Thanks Christy for the tip. i often wondered if I could do this myself. by the way I love how little Katy Rose is peeking through the window behind you with her little hands on the window as if to say I am here too, what a way to start a video with a picture of your beautiful little sidekick.
What a great idea! Don’tcha think this will work the same for brown rice? We try to eat more brown than white, but the brown rice can take up to two hours to cook. I’m not always THAT on top of the dinner game to think about starting rice around 3:00 🙂
I don’t see why it wouldn’t. I love brown rice, too! I just use white rice mostly because it stores indefinitely but brown rice is amazing!
Christy, do you salt the rice when you cook it before dehydrating?
I don’t because I never know how I’m going to use it. I just salt it if need be while rehydrating or after.
I just love your videos!!! I just love your attitude… nothing is a big deal… it will just work out!!! Love that!!! And… I love that you are just ‘real people’!!!
