LDS aka Mormons are big stocker - uppers...

There's lots of dehydrated food items on Amazon, I bought some dehy celery and tomato last year to just "check it out" ( I never re-ordered). since the pandemic those items are very much sold out...for a time even dried mushroooms (which I do use) were kinda scarce, now just checked and most 'shrooms are available again...
