carrot powder

See dehydrating carrots for instructions for the preliminary drying.

Remember: Slice carrots to be dried and then powdered as thinly as you can. A meals processor might also be perfect for this. This will permit them to crisp up correctly besides hot or overdrying. Crisp slices make them less difficult to grind into a powder.

When dried and cooled, save dried carrot slices for a few days in a sealed container to make sure there will be no condensation starting. If there is, dehydrate a bit more, as that extra moisture would have an effect on your powder.

When are you certain that your carrot slices are safely dried, you can grind them into powder.

It’s best if you can grind in two steps however simply one step is excellent if that is all you can do or desire to do:

Put in meals processor and grind to a coarse powder (you can quit right here if you wish);
Take the coarse powder, and in small batches, system thru an electric powered espresso bean mill to limit to a first-rate powder.
