Was just wondering if anyone has tried to do this i have some tomato sauce in the dehydrator at the moment and it seems to go more like fruit leather then dry so that i can make it into a powder. do you think if i leave it on long enough it will dry out enough or is that its final form?

I guess it can be done.
We use to carry Tomato powder with us when camping/touring. was light etc.
I have not seen it for years

No, I havn't seen that in years either!

But I just did a search and the Spice House and Herbies both have it!

Also here is how to DIY it: http://www.seriouseats.com/2013/02/diy- ... paste.html

Wonder if it's like the dehydrating gig. Remove the moisture when in season, store, then rehydrate with heaps of flavor in what ever.

Im wondering if freeze drying would be the way to make it a powder not dehydrating

freezedrying = the answer, same with mustard powder.
the reason is that heating vinegar (which is a big part of it) will make you loose that pop

i dehydrated mustard and it was fine the tomato didnt work i guess due to its sugar content?
