I just got a bunch of Basil from my mother that she didn't need. I didn't need as much as she had either...haha. So, I thought I would put it in my dehydrator and dry it up and grind it up into flakes for use throughout the year. Well, I put it in the dehydrator and after coming back into the house, I find my lips and eyes are burning. I instantly realized that I used the same trays that I used last summer to dry my Carolina Reapers for powder and obviously didn't wash them afterwards.

Oh well, I guess when I use the basil, I won't have to worry about adding any pepper powder or flakes.
