frozen vegetables
 

The store I go to puts frozen mixed vegetables( soup mix) on sale from time
to time, unfortunately, I only have a freezer compartment above the
refridgerator. I have three questions, First,can I thaw them out and then
dehydrate them and vacumn seal them. Second how long will they last vacumn
sealed. and lastly, can I chop them in a food processor to make "vegetable
flakes"?

Sure you can deydrate the frozen vegetables, they are already blanched.
they last a long time.
I find that a coffee grinder can make a finer chop than a food
processor, I use one all the time to make tomato powder.

I have a dumb question -- just making sure.

I assume you should first defrost the frozen vegetables before putting
them in the dehydrator?

I thought a long time before buying a large dehydrator instead of a
small separate freezer. Still not sure if I made the right decision.
