Herb Drying Guide
Most herbs may be dried in ElectriQ dehydrator right on the plant stalk and stem. Seeds and leaves are
easily stripped from the plant when dry. Drying temperature should be 40℃. Do not dry herbs with fruits
and vegetables. Store in glass containers in a cool, dark place to reduce flavour loss. Label clearly before
storage because they are difficult to recognize when dry. Do not powder until you are ready to use.
