title says it.
I kinda want a dried pickle now wtf?
Pickle chips are a thing though. https://www.buypicklechips.com/
Stop. Look at me.
Pickle it.
Dehydrate it.
Powder it.
Snort it.New Daft Punk song just dropped
I dried out a cucumber over time like a gourd once just to see what would happen, and at the end it was basically a loofah, super light and airy.
Because cucumbers (my spelling is horryble)
Are like 90 something % water, drying it would be very badIt seems to be something others have tried, and at least one company is selling them. I bet they would be pretty good if you like pickles.
Seems like it would work particularly well with a sweet pickle, concentrating the vinegar and salt flavors is going to make them really strong, sweetness would help balance it out a bit.
I’d even consider making a custom batch with a lighter seasoning (like summer style fridge cucumbers), so it’s more like cucumber chips with vinegar and salt.
No, it’s pretty awful. I love pickles and one of the first things I did when I got a dehydrator was dry out some dill and then bread and butter chips. Made my whole house smell like vinegar and the by product was entirely, but not unpredictably, way too salty and the texture was of an old, dried out gummy bear. Inedible.
Tried to salvage it by powdering it and the seasoning was just a vinegar salt and a sweet vinegar salt. It was fun culinary experiment and now I know, but there’s a reason this type of thing isn’t popular.
get a dehydrator & experiment, OP
Have you ever seen a group of old European men “hanging out” in the gym locker room? That’s why.
100% hilarious and 0% appropriate.
Maybe because they’re mostly water?
I’m not sure what is really going on, but my regular grocery store has dill pickle salad and something is crunchy. It’s really good!
some one did it https://rockinwhomestead.com/dehydrated-pickles/
I imagine it isnt popular because it is overpowering.
That means it is entirely possible that you could munch on 20 to 40 of these ships in one sitting if you are not paying attention, and consume the equivalent of two to four fresh pickles.
Would you really eat that many fresh pickles in one sitting?
my guess is that drying something, much like pickling something, is used as a method of preserving the given food. as a pickle is already preserved, you wouldn’t need to dehydrate it.
There’s fried pickles. That dries them out a bit
