Mine has a dehydrate setting on it. Depends what model you’re getting.

Young beans...................does that make a difference?

I would have thought that they shouldn't have a tough shell but I have never tried drying young beans.

I try to pick broad beans very young (little finger size) so that I can eat the pods as well. A little later and the pods are tough but the beans inside are still green and don't have skins. After that, its a double podding process.

Not for me, I like the beans in the skins with butter and vinegar on! Smile I was just wondering whether the skin would be prevalent after drying youngish beans? Huh
