Freezing allows gardeners to save fresh produce home grown or bought at the farmers market when it is at the peak of its nutritional value, not after it has traveled for days in a refrigerated truck. And freezing, he told me, is less likely to contribute to the diminished nutritional value of foods, as compared to canning.

So the tomatoes I freeze whole may be better for me than the tomato sauce I process in jars in a boiling-water bath for 45 minutes. When I dehydrate veggies, I set the thermostat on my Nesco American Harvest food dehydrator at 120 degrees to minimize vitamin losses. But any way you look at it, my home-preserved foods are better for me because they have no preservatives.

2008-04-28 Timely Gardening Tips for where you live

All is quiet in the garden. The garlic sleeps under its thick blanket of mulch and the compost pile has cooled.

There are certainly some things here that other chefs are going to steal. For example, if you dehydrate thin slices of beets and squash, not only are they edible, slightly sweet, and a teeny bit like pasta in texture, but all the colors are preserved.

(Im going to try it at home. )
