Drying Fan Leaves For Flour... question.

[Stickyplant]

When drying leaves (fans) to make flour... to either use in butter or as a replacement for real flour in recipes (not to smoke), is just putting them in a paper bag okay?

They are going to get crunchy I think. Is there a way to prevent this? Is it okay?

I know there is likely only 30% of the good stuff in these leaves as there is in a bud, but I still need to get that 30% out... so, given that info, what is the best way to do this?

They currently fill 2 grocery (paper) bags 1/3 of the way up.
Should I spread them over more than 2 bags? Any advice would be nice! If they dry to a crunch... is that still okay? Should I cure them?

I MAKE BUTTER WITH ALL MY TRIMMINGS AND OTHER "TRASH".
I LAY IT ALL OUT, AND LET IT DRY FOR A LONG TIME. IT GETS CRUNCHY. I DONT CURE IT. I THEN RUN IT THRU A COFFEE GRINDER. GOOD LUCK

make sure you turn those leaves so they dont mold at the bottom of the bag


good luck
