Can herbs retain their vibrant colors, potent flavors, and medicinal properties for longer periods? Absolutely! Join me, Demetria Clark, as we explore the remarkable process of freeze-drying herbs, also known as lyophilization.
https://affiliates.harvestright.com/2973.html
This advanced preservation method rapidly freezes fresh herbs and then removes moisture through sublimation in a vacuum chamber, preserving heat-sensitive nutrients and minimizing oxidation. You'll learn how freeze-drying can extend the shelf life and potency of your herbal preparations, making them more effective and cost-efficient, whether you're crafting teas, tinctures, or culinary blends.

But that's not all! We'll also reflect on the evolving practices in herbalism, from traditional drying techniques to the now widely accepted microwave drying. Discover how adapting herbal practices can make herbal care more accessible and affordable for everyone, from clients facing housing instability to those maintaining community gardens. Plus, learn about our tool rental program that supports the sustainability of these gardens. Tune in for practical tips, insights, and a deeper understanding of how modern methods can enhance your herbal practice and better serve your community.
