Thin slices for faster drying?

Post by bossanova » Fri Sep 23, 2022 7:37 am

Drying caps whole sure looks cool.

But why not slice them thin so they will dry faster? Would save time in the dehydrator!

Any reason not to do it?

Ok that's good to know!

They actually air dry pretty well as whole caps, but I have this net that I put them on so air gets to them from the bottom as well. Still I like to cut them in half just to make sure there's nothing nasty in them that might eat everything up.

Follow up question:

If you slice them thin and stick them in a dehydrator for a couple of hours let's say at 70c, do you still get 30% conversion? Does time in the dehydrator affect how much conversion happens?
