I’ve tried dehydrating stuff but it wasn’t worth the effort what with the canner and freezer. Our climate isn’t always so dry so dehydrated stuff needs to be well packaged in airtight containers. (I use canning jars for that sort of thing as well.)

When I find nuts or spices on sale somewhere, I put them in canning jars in the freezer.

The canning jars provide a completely air tight seal. The nuts and spices keep very well between the cold and seal, and they keep a long time because the oils don’t go rancid.

Since it’s airtight, freezer burn or an off taste from the freezer is never an issue.

Yes, to jars in the freezer, I prefer them to plastic containers.

But, LOL, I do use what I have at the time to work with.

Here, it is hot, even with the cooler, so a lot goes in the freezer that someone else might leave on the pantry shelf.

I am having problems with my computer and do not know if it is me, or if it is the server that is broken/breaking.

So don’t be surprised if I disappear.
