preservation Over drying

[Staffie]

Just dryed my peppers but i can see through the skin of all the peppers is this normal? I think i over dryed them can that happen?

What type of pepper?

You can dry at a temp that's too high, but it's impossible to over dry a pod at a proper temp.

Like Surfer said....

Unless you burned them during the drying process, the object is the removal of all the moisture so as to preserve them.

Were they thin skinned chillies?

I used cayenne's and a habanero cross. But as long as i didnt burn em im good, right?

The only reason to worry about temp is for color and if you are saving seeds. IMO no matter how long or hot you dry them.,, they are always yummy!

When they are thin skinned sometimes you can see through them or see "veins". They will be fine. The drier they are the easier they are to crush or powder anyway.
