honey powder

[inkedchef]

Yes ,I know powders are a 90's trend but I still love them. Anyone know a faster way for creating a honey powder than letting it sit and cystalize?

You can buy it. http://www.spicesetc.com/product/936/3

What if your process for drying it? If you spread it out to increase the surface area, it will dry faster.

I don't like to buy ingredents that i can make even if they are time consuming. dehydrating works but the end product lasts only 2 days

When you say it only lasted 2 days was it because it rehydrated or went bad? (which I doubt)

It didn't go bad but rehydrated and became a ball. I had to regrind it and sift it again. Could i add a chenical to help slow the rehydration process?

ok, i guess this trend never arrived over here - what are "powders", what is honey powder and how is it used???

dehydrated honey, ground up. So you can add honey to food, cookies, breads or whatever, but not have to contend with the additional moisture issues that adding normal honey brings when adding it to standard recipes

Powders are a dehydrated foods that have been groung up and sifted. Tomato powder is one example. Concasse tomatos, dehydrate, grind in spice grinder. sift, use. I use powders for added color and hint of extra flavor. Whatever you do though dont use a microwave. Its easy but extracts the flavor.

So, could this be the product that chocolatiers are using to make honey flavored chocolates and truffles? Does it actually taste like honey or does it mostly make things sweet?
