How to Dehydrate Celery Leaves

Celery Leaves

Here is a quick guide on  how to dehydrate Celery Leaves. Most people throw the leaves away but as I have found out recently, they are the most flavorful part of the whole plant. All parts of the celery are edible even the seeds which can be ground into a spice. 

How to Dehydrate Celery Leaves


Step 1 is to remove the leaves from the Celery and Wash them. 


Step 2: Lay them out on dehydrator tray with the mesh screen. 

Step 3: Dehydrate at below 100 degrees fahrenheit for a few hours until finished. 

Step 4: Store in an Airtight Container


They are so easy as long as you keep the temperature down to avoid destroying the Essential Oils. Celery leaves can be used to make celery salt, as a standalone spice and many many other things which I will add when I have more time.

How to Process the Entire Celery for Dehydration, Broth and Mystery Meal

Here is how I process celery so that I can use the entire stalk. The only part of the celery that I don't use is the cellophane packaging. No sleep today so this post is going to be really really rough sorry. There are 3 main components that you can yield from celery stalks. The first is the leaves which have the most flavor. You can use them individually as a seasoning or combine them with salt to make Celery Salt. The good part of the stalk can be dehydrated or used for anything you use celery for. The pieces most people would normally throw away can be washed and then saved for the next time you make chicken broth/stock.
