After harvesting a pound or more of greens, what is a girl to do? There is no way for me to eat through all of the yummy greens that are growing in the spring! However, preserving them for future use is quite simple, quick, and space effective.

(1 lb. freshly picked kale)

I am nervous to use most green superfood powders due to my celiac disease. And, am less than thrilled at the prospect of paying the super high prices of those that I know will be safe. But, I can make my own (perhaps slightly less super) green super food.

(1 lb. kale dehydrated and powdered)

Simply place a variety of greens in the dehydrator and run on a very low temperature until dehydrated, run through the kitchen mill (mortar and pestle, food processor, etc.), and store in a canning jar to be added to smoothies throughout the year.

It’s a super simple way to preserve all of that goodness without using a lot of valuable storage space on your urban homestead!
