DIY Freeze Dried Snacks: The Good, The Bad & The Crunchy

Описание: Welcome to another Freeze Dry Friday experiment! Today, I'm tackling two exciting (and challenging!) projects: making homemade freeze-dried corn nuts and freeze-dried cheese for delicious, shelf-stable snacks.
Using the nixtamalized corn (hominy) from our last Sunday Funday video, I experimented with a variety of flavors for corn nuts, including simple salted, sweet honey mustard, and bold Thai sweet chili. But not all experiments are created equal – you won't believe the epic fail I encountered with the barbecue flavored corn nuts! Learn from my mistakes so you can avoid a 'jawbreaker' of a snack.
Then, discover the incredible success of freeze-dried cheese! I'll show you how both shredded cheese (Pepper Jack, Colby Jack) and cheese slices (Sharp White Cheddar, Colby) transformed into crispy, Cheez-It style snacks perfect for your pantry.
This video is packed with honest reviews, freeze dry tips, and real-world results from my Harvest Right freeze dryer. Whether you're looking for new snack ideas, exploring food preservation, or just love a good food experiment, this one's for you!
