no it wasnt in my recipe but all things are subject to change when it means the same values but more cost effective and simpler to use....and no with this you naturally wouldnt have to add the other individually bought items...but ive a ton of it still left and will use it all so there is no waste before this is even opened and use...besides...i have a vacuum sealer so it will stay fresh for many months...

use it the same as you would the others...just add to your batch you mix as you would normally add the other items...only difference is ..where i use to split it up with what i use to order to make two separate flavored batches...now ill just WHEN I GET TO USE IT...add this to one batch and keep second batch plain...

just modify a bit rita thats all...quite simple actually...and its allllllll good and alllllll in there.

also nothing is wasted as its all good in our meal cooking too...i just may also ...when i get this ...add it to a separate food cup as a change up to say the herbal salad and continue to do the same with the batches ive always done which i have to make some before the week is out...just a lil imagination goes a long way rita wink as long as you keep the nutritional values at what they are suppose to be with any of this...THATS critical...

you could also dampen a big leafy veggie and sprinkle some of this on the dampened leafy veggie so it sticks to it and when JJ chomps on it he will get this too...its wide open as to how to use it

ok ive rec'd the new garden powder for those of you wondering what its like...these are the ingredients in it...broccoli, parsley, sweet corn, carrots, beets, zucchini, sweet peas, green beans, chamomile flowers...a nice mix.

its very fine so now im not sure about offering it in a separate dish and think ill wait to use it until my other powders are used up or at least half of them are run out...they also put a expiration date on the package so thats helpful too...but with a vacuum sealer im sure that is exteneded as well and i will open this cut off the label to its present bag and vacuum reseal..into smaller portions with a few bags and while i have to do that anyway...ill probably just try some for now in a separate food cup.

for the $20 with shipping you do get quite a bit of it.

Goldenfeast makes quite a few varieties of dried veggies, fruits etc mixes. I use them for my larger birds but the parakeets seem to prefer fresh food. I have not tried rehydrating it for them.

hmmm Got me wanting to get some of that garden powder sooner rather than later now illusive.
Give it a taste test when ya open it. Just curious. lol

Cetan,
Both my guys like dehydrated veggies in their seed mix. They especially love the dried red bell peppers from the myspicesage.com site. But they like the other things too like carrots, and gr peppers, celery flakes...
Sometimes the pieces are too big but i just chop em up in my little electric food chopper.

As for the powders tho..they're great because they are so readily absorbed in to their systems and if mixed with their seeds.. they get them even when just hulling their seeds.
VERY good way to get veggies in to some of those picky veg nots. wink

EDITED

ok after just making up a couple of batches of my mix...dividing and portioning out the garden powder...then vacuum sealing ....ive found with this new garden salad powder...there is definetly a good years supply of it...

also i added some when i opened the bag to my batches...and seems it was good timing to order as well...becuz ive only enough of two of what was left that i had for two more batches...so when thats gone this is what ill exclusively use.

powders are scientifically proven to be absorbed and utilized more quickly and easily by a birds system...and there is no throwing out of veggies going bad from our refrigerators for those with only a couple birds...so again ..money saved...no worries of chemicals on fresh veggies etc...

and yes kk...for those picky eaters ...this is a great way to get veggies into them....no steaming ...cooking...dicing...and yep some of the dehydrated ones i agree even cappy doesnt like them cuz they are to big or hard...like the gr. bell peppers for example...ive taken to using those up when i dont buy fresh bell peppers in my own cooking for sauces etc

seems with this stuff also you can add to boiling water to make a sort of gruel i guess let cool and serve...you just add twice as much water as powder.
