I need to pull a lot of green onions before they go to seed.
Thought of cleaning, dicing, and freezing.


Dehydrator is the way to go for the greens.


? That's a new one on me. I don't have a dehydrator & don't want to
invest in one.


Will dehydrating onions indoors stink up the house?
Should it be done outside in a shelter?
I have never done dehydration before for food preservation. Just
curious.


It depends. If the smell of onions drying upsets you, then it will smell up
the house for a bit. It won't last though so once done it goes away as far
as smell.

I rarely do a load of all one thing except jerky or mint. I dry the mint
for tea and don't want my mint tea to be infused with other things. I
generally do 'similar things' like 'all fruit' or 'all herbs'.
