🫑 Dehydrated Sweet Peppers 🫑

Made Right Here at Forbes Farmstead Market using sweet peppers we grow right here on the farm!

Dehydrated sweet peppers can be a tasty way to enjoy peppers year-round. Some benefits include:

🫑 Rich in antioxidants — Sweet peppers contain vitamin C, carotenoids, and other antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress.
💪 Good source of vitamin C — Vitamin C supports normal immune function, collagen production, and iron absorption.
❤️ Supports heart health — Their potassium and antioxidant content can complement a heart-healthy diet.
👀 Provides carotenoids — Compounds such as beta-carotene and other carotenoids support normal eye health.
🌱 Convenient and long-lasting — Dehydration removes moisture while preserving many of the nutrients, giving you a shelf-stable ingredient that's easy to add to meals.
🍳 Concentrated flavor — The drying process intensifies the pepper's natural sweetness and flavor, making them great in soups, casseroles, eggs, sauces, pasta, and seasoning blends.
🧂 Naturally low in sodium — Plain dehydrated sweet peppers can add flavor without needing much salt.

Use about 1 Tablespoon of dehydrated peppers for every 1/4 cup needed in a recipe.

Grown here. Dried here. Flavor you’ll love. 🫑❤️

🧅 Dehydrated Onions 🧅

Made Right Here at Forbes Farmstead Market using the candy onions we grow right here on the farm!

They’re packed with concentrated onion flavor and offer:
✨ Long shelf life
✨ Convenient, zero-prep flavor
✨ No tears while chopping!
✨ A naturally low-sodium way to add flavor to your favorite dishes

Dehydrated onions retain many of the nutrients and beneficial plant compounds found in fresh onions, including fiber, antioxidants, and flavonoids such as quercetin.

They are perfect for soups, casseroles, dips, sauces, seasonings, and so much more!

To convert an existing recipe to use dehydrated onions, use 1 Tablespoon of dehydrated onions for each 1/4 cup diced onion.

Grown here. Dehydrated here. Flavor you’ll love. 🧅❤️
