Preparing the Vegetables:\n</h5></h4><p style='\"padding-left:'>\u2013 Wash and thoroughly dry all the vegetables.\n</p><p style='\"padding-left:'>\u2013 For peas, green beans, and corn, blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes until they are slightly tender.

You may need to do this in batches to ensure even grinding.\n</p><h5>4. Storing the Veggie Powder:\n</h5><p style='\"padding-left:'>\u2013 Transfer the veggie powder to an airtight jar or container, ensuring there are no moisture or air leaks.\n</p><p style='\"padding-left:'>\u2013 Store the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.\n</p><p style='\"padding-left:'>\u2013 The veggie powder can be kept for several months and used as needed.\n</p><h5>5. Enjoying the Veggie Powder:\n</h5><p style='\"padding-left:'>\u2013 Sprinkle a spoonful or two of the homemade veggie powder into soups, stews, and sauces to enhance their flavor and nutritional content.\n</p><p style='\"padding-left:'>\u2013 Mix it into ground beef when making burgers or meatballs to stealthily introduce vegetables into the meal.\n</p><p style='\"padding-left:'>\u2013 Top roasted potatoes, vegetables, or even popcorn with a sprinkle of veggie powder for an added boost of nutrients and taste.\n</p><p><strong>Homemade veggie powder is a secret weapon for every home cook striving to boost their family\u2019s intake of essential nutrients.\n<p>By dehydrating an array of vegetables and combining them with ground turmeric, you create a versatile powder that can be effortlessly incorporated into various dishes.
