title says it.
I dried out a cucumber over time like a gourd once just to see what would happen, and at the end it was basically a loofah, super light and airy.
Because cucumbers (my spelling is horryble)
Are like 90 something % water, drying it would be very badI kinda want a dried pickle now wtf?
It seems to be something others have tried, and at least one company is selling them. I bet they would be pretty good if you like pickles.
Seems like it would work particularly well with a sweet pickle, concentrating the vinegar and salt flavors is going to make them really strong, sweetness would help balance it out a bit.
I’d even consider making a custom batch with a lighter seasoning (like summer style fridge cucumbers), so it’s more like cucumber chips with vinegar and salt.

Pickle chips are a thing though. https://www.buypicklechips.com/
Maybe because they’re mostly water?

Stop. Look at me.
Pickle it.
Dehydrate it.
Powder it.
Snort it.New Daft Punk song just dropped
some one did it https://rockinwhomestead.com/dehydrated-pickles/
I imagine it isnt popular because it is overpowering.
That means it is entirely possible that you could munch on 20 to 40 of these ships in one sitting if you are not paying attention, and consume the equivalent of two to four fresh pickles.
Would you really eat that many fresh pickles in one sitting?
my guess is that drying something, much like pickling something, is used as a method of preserving the given food. as a pickle is already preserved, you wouldn’t need to dehydrate it.
Have you ever seen a group of old European men “hanging out” in the gym locker room? That’s why.
100% hilarious and 0% appropriate.
get a dehydrator & experiment, OP
I’m not sure what is really going on, but my regular grocery store has dill pickle salad and something is crunchy. It’s really good!
I think freeze dried would be okay… like, crunchy? I’d put that on a baked potato. Just plain dehydrated might be chewy and not that great.
